Hey, why not drop an sti engine into an xt 4wd?It's a couple hundred pounds lighter, it should be able to move pretty quick

Because that would be a waste of time... The engine in the Forester XT is essentially an STi engine. There are diffrences, but they are all pretty much bolt on.... Diffrent ECU, Smaller turbo, Smaller intercooler, diffrent cams... The engine it's self though is essentially an STi engine. Find yourself an STi ECU from a wrecked one (should be easy to find), buy an IHI VF-34 turbo, while ya are at it with the wrecked STi yank the intercooler and cams.... Then ya should be set... Ofcorse, If ya really wanted to make it look like an STi motor, just get the plastic red intake manifold
