Turbo seems to go against the intent of this car. They've said numerous times that it's not about the brute speed, but the balance and total driving experience. The car doesn't need 300hp to achieve that. The AE86 was never about high horsepower, and this car won't be either.

But if it happens that will be good for you turb0 guys...you just have to wait 6 months after the rest of us are alreadying enjoying our cars.

I was joking, the FB25 is not the base motor for the Subaru coupe, some people were being stupid so I added onto it.

The FB25 is actually already in the current Forester making 170hp/173tq only difference is the bore it's virtually the same block, it's 94mm vs 84mm, stroke is still 90mm, I just don't see why not use it and adding the top end goodies.

Thank you for the clarification.

Leave off the turbo and let everyone who wants it add their own
