if the average 210 whp that you quoted is accurate then Celek's build is promising because the increased displacement to 2.3 fa20 motor will have a higher whp due to fr-s/brz are rear wheel drive cars. I am assuming of course that the N/A engines that you mentioned are installed in an AWD cars.
my predicted assumption of higher HP result was based on youtube video, by /DRIVE, of Crawford stating that for the same turbo the EJ made 360hp vs. FA20 made 430hp. that's a 19.44% difference. if we apply the 19.44% on 210whp, that's 251whp.
am I correct on my assumption? I sure hope Crawford is not blowing smoke.

Engine/Power Modifications:
EJ251 bored over 100mm
Wiseco 12:1 pistons/rings
EJ257 crank/rods/oil pump
ACL RACE series bearings, std clearances.
EJ251 SOHC heads, ported by owner, stock valve sizes
Delta 3000 grind cams
EJ253 (AVLS) valve springs
06 2.5i intake manifold (big plenum/big runner)
70mm Ford throttlebody
440cc injectors
LinkPlus G1 standalone engine management
TWE prototype longtube header
2.5" aluminum non catted exhaust
2.5" DNA spiralflow muffler
^^^ All this got the owner 204 rwhp on a built 2.5L
