Not trying to be a dick, but please (pretty please) answer just my specific question because I am old, I don't understand all these numbers, and I want to start shopping.
What is the biggest, most horsepower, turbo, gas, Subaru engine that easily ( no drive by wire or anti theft stuff) can be swapped into the car? |

Simple would be go with the ez30 & aftermarket ECU. No turbo to deal with. Great power in the 220-240 range realistically. We are still talking about an engine conversion though. It is not simple or easy. If you want something turnkey buy a completed car. BigKat was selling one of his ez30 driver's a while ago though I am sure it sold. NA is going to be less things to worry about conversion wise. Still doing the motor you should do a suby tranny. By the time you deal with adapter plate's for the 901. You can do the suby tranny for only a little more. Plus have nice smooth shifting. I would recommend you talk with Bob (BigKat). He's done multiple conversions. I think he could explain everything in the way you'd like.
