When the Honda s2000 motor first came out, no one thought the stock internals could hold much power. We have made 800hp on that motor.

We are not afraid to blow this engine up. Infact, I don't plan on swapping a built motor in until this one gives. When it does fail, you guys will be the first one to know about it.

for all we know, the FB20 motor currently in japan could be the basis of the FA20, minus the turbo (with different compression). so it could hold up quite well for a while. i think it depends on how much it's going to be abused. i have faith in this motor right now, seeing what everybody is doing. i'm hoping subaru got their heads right and got rid of whatever was wrong with 07 and up sti's pistons/rings/tune.
