LOL depends on how the Honda is built... On the 2.0L engine (which I have an 05 WRX EJ205) it will be pretty expensive to get up to the 400WHP range. The tranny is the weak point, and the gears tend to not handle the power once you get above the 300WHP range. With all the bolt-ons and tune from Perrin, you will run about 285 AWHP, and with an upgraded turbo, intercooler, inectors, pump, clutch, and a custom tune, I would put a bet on 330-380WHP range on a 2.0L motor would be a good bet, depending on the turbo. Just be careful with the gears....

Ill probably get the sti, ill know by the end of the week. Sorry if the honda thing was stupid just figured id ask, in a way the subaru engine is more intricate so its not something id consider stupid to ask.

Thanks for the info,

It's not really a stupid thing to ask, it's just widely known that a Honda is one of the most reliable cars you can buy.

There so reliable because 80% of them are N/A that make 76.5 WHP

Lets make that power in a suby and i bet the motor will last just as long.
