Took a few guesses but should be close enough. Area under the curve looks great to me. |

I did. Nothing in there suggested a swap wouldn't work or be a good idea or be worse/more expensive.

Haha. We have the Subaru provided numbers for the FA20. We know the FA24 has 228hp and 171 ftlbs of torque at 7000rpm and 130hp and 184ftlbs of torque at 3700 rpm. The curve looks pretty flat in the instrument cluster. Close enough.

It would certainly work. Would be "easier" than some but far from drop in, plug and play. It remains to be seen what power can be wrung out of it vs the known current swaps. The investment just may not pay off. Probably three or even four years away from being able to pick up cheap(ish) used engines anyway so half the people interested will either be in something new or a gen 2 and will no longer care.

Aesthetics, ease of tuning, aesthetics, JDM, aesthetics, manual transmission (applies to C8), aesthetics, can't believe I'm able to say this but build quality, aesthetics, higher MSRP, aesthetics, size/too long wheelbase, aesthetics. Did I mention aesthetics?

That, and the legendary GM build quality. Been there, done that, don't need to do it again. Do a little internet search for C8 Corvette problems and see what's popping up already. No thanks. I'm too old (and impatient) to put up with that kind of crap. I want to spend my remaining time driving the car, and I don't mean back and forth to the dealer for repairs. I'd gladly trade off some 'numbers' for a somewhat (and irrelevantly) slower Nissan Z with a stick, and spend much less time at the dealer. |
