Seems like a useful thing to have summarized somewhere. While you can build just about auybof these to be a monster compared to stock, how about if we list stock values for now as one reference point?
1.7 flat 4 - 79 1.8 flat 4 - 84 2.0 flat 4 - 99 2.0 flat 6 - 109 2.2 flat 6 - 2.4 flat 6 - 2.7 flat 6 - 150-200 3.0 flat 6 - 3.2 flat 6 - 213-240 3.6 flat 6 - 275-300 Look like the right list? |

It's a very slippery slope. There are 4 cylinder engines making 1000hp. Not TIVs mind you. More cylinders are going to provide longer longevity in general. But times change and technology does faster.

But times change and technology does faster. My boss bought a machine shop and said the guys there are making 900hp from the Suby turbo fours. The 962 at our shop uses an air cooled 3.0 with a single turbo to get 780hp. Mid 80’s tech. |

Usually for just long enough for the dyno run before the engines scatter. The BS my Suby brethren (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) do to their engines (spending money they don't have on a very powerful and equally short lived motor) and then complaining bitterly about horrible Subaru reliability... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Ring-land failure. Premature clutch failure. Asshats. "How do you have a WRX with over 100K miles and still on the original clutch? Mine failed in 20K miles..." There are not enough eyerolls. Zach |

The good thing is I now have machine shop availability at reasonable prices. |
