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? |

The great thing about a turbo EJ motor is the great aftermarket support. Hundreds of companies making parts to support these family of motors and if the urge for more power is there, it is cheap to buy a tune and turn up the boost. I don't really understand the argument for simplicity, as the turbo does not really add much complexity. You still have to fab a custom exhaust on both motors. You just have to relocate the air to air inter cooler to fit, or run a water to air.

This project needs a turbo, and needs to be in the right family of engines so I can boost the power if required over time. Simplicity for me is to know what motor to buy, a turbo, a 4 cylinder. As all of these threads go, there are so many opinions that do not answer the initial question, thus why I get confused with all the numbers and give up again.... Six cylinder motor is not an option. Using a stock ECU would be my first choice to keep the up front costs down initially, but have that option later on. Rich |
