You do know the Crawford car uses a factory turbo. And Factory turbos can easily make 300+WHP it's even proven to make 400WHP with supporting mods on a ej25 with AWD.

Yes. I came from a STi. I know the engines with OEM turbos can be good. I'm just thinking cost factor. Wouldn't aftermarket: internals be more beneficial than swapping OEM (assuming its not some beast motor like a2jz)?

Time will tell, but my thought was basically if the stock internals can hold up to the figures so far, then why swap engines. If you want more power than that, then why not just go straight to strong aftermarket pieces as pistons/rods are not very far off.

I didn't read the part where the guys isn't a car expert so my original post wasn't very helpful unfortunately. I also am not attacking OEM Subaru motors/turbos in any way. With supporting mods and on e85, meth, etc they can make huge numbers with great response. I could be off base, but my quick trainng would leave me to believe it is not cost effective to swap a motor into a twin just to go FI. That is all

as a few of you already said, i doubt subaru will use this engine in any other car. the d4s injection system and dual vvti are both toyota technology.

just give it some time, and soon enough there should be plenty of reliable mods for our engine wether its turbo, sc, or n/a

Here is the link to the Car & Driver article. It will not have Toyota's injection system.

Not it "will" not... but it "does" not. It's same engine as current turbo leggy

I though subie was delveopling their own injection system now that they have seen how to do it rght in a boxer engine from toyota.

I have one too. I'm not 100% certain I want to boost it, but maybe 80% certain. For now, I plan on just waiting a year or two and go over my options, and enjoy the car for now as it is stock!

I believe that the extended warranty is pro-rated, so you should be able to cancel after you make your decision and cash in on the rest. Call your financial guy to make sure, though.

You can always get your warranty cashed back. Also who says you can't use a VF22,39,48, or 52 on a build? they are good turbo's. You can pick up a VF48 out of a 2011-2012 STi for 600 bucks with under 7k miles on it. Just saying! I would deff build the engine. But even crawford pop'd their built engine last week.

You can also run 22 pounds of boost easy on a VF48. Or even 11 pounds? Very responsive turbo.

Doesn't the new Forester have this motor as well?
As does the new/updated Legacy.

It has Subaru's own DI system, not Toyota's D4S.

No idea if/when it coming to the STI or if/when it gets a power bump for the new STI. Doesn't it make around 270hp?
