Granted I have never swapped cams out in a 4cyl (only done it on an LS1) but depending on how aggressive you go on an LS1 you can see 20-60HP gains easily. So you will have to excuse me if I don't understand how you can only expect a 15hp gain from cam's and an exhaust.
Also a quick google search tells me that in a 2.5RS with an aggressive cam you can see an increase of around 50whp in a bolt on car. Throw in some heads with that and your looking at around 80whp. Your also not even considering tuning the motor. |

I would go with what the pros are saying on N/A vs FI, anything past boltons and FI makes far more sense per dollar. |

And exactly why I am hoping TRD offers a plug and play option sooner than later. Instead we get three sets of wheel options. Sigh. |

People have tried, and failed, to get to 250+ N/A power with previous N/A Subaru 4-cylinders. The only one I've ever seen was a completely redesigned block on a pure race car in Japan that got 280ps, but probably cost $30,000 just to design and build. Can you get another 20hp with this motor? Probably pretty easily with bolt ons (intake/exhaust) and a tune. 30hp? Maybe with better fuel. Cams? Probably not more than 5-10hp more. More compression? Maybe another 10-15. Slightly more displacement? Couple more. Custom fancy intake parts that don't exist yet? No idea. Unless that DI is capable of some serious magic, I don't see any way right now to get 50-60hp MORE out of this motor. |

FB25 block is the only way you'll get near 280hp NA.
May as well go with a 400hp unstressed EJ. |

Nobody has done 300hp, lots of people have talked about it and nobody has been anywhere close.
Is this the thread you were looking for? forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125165 This is the car I mentioned with the nutty build for a racecar in Japan: ![]() |

Stock engines are usually heavily choked. It doesn't matter that it is the highest N/A output, they have to meet strict emissions and there is always room for improvement. The question remains how much. But I am optimistic that there is room just in a 93 octane tune. |

I'm just looking at this: http://www.drivingsports.com/site/20...v-first-drive/
and they said Mazda changed the compression ratio for the US? Think that'll happen? |

It doesn't resemble the original motor at all. Custom built from scratch heads, ITB's, extra injectors all over the place, carbon fiber intake ducts, the works... Its VERY respectable, but replicating that motor is not possible unless you can find the original one, and certainly not possible to replicate those numbers with a stock block or even a modified stock block. |
