I wonder if we took a WRX motor and lopped off two cyl and retained the turbo, what kind of HP and MPG we would see. If tuner can get over 100 HP per cyl, we should be able to get a 2 cyl motor that would produce 150+HP and get pretty good milage out of it. Granted, it wouldn't have much torque, but, the whole 9 yards would fit under the hood with plenty of room. We could use the 8 speed auto with it to take care of the multipule gear shifts needed to make it scoot up a hill..... thoughts? Also, i read here that their testing a diesel version of the boxer motor.
I agree. none of this will happen ( except in back yards and garages) until the Oil Cartel figures how to make a bunch of money on it. |
