A force-induced 4-banger like the EVO, STi or SRT-4 will NOT make in excess of 400 horses with only a boost controller (similar to pulley for supercharger), intake and exhaust.
I guess that the point I was trying to make is that size of the engine alone won't determine the power of the powerplant, since a 2.0l 4-banger like the revised 4G63 that powers the EVO 8 can handle in excess of 500whp on its stock bottom end.

Well yes, it does have a lot to do with design what the engine can take. But no replacement for displacement does hold true. Thats just how it is. More displacement means more air and fuel and that means more power.
