This is true, but they are getting hundreds of thousands of miles out of
Subarus producing this kind of power with their engines. As already pointed
out, the new WRX is getting 300 HP out of a 2.5L. The Subaru WRX is one of
the only cars running the world ralley championship circuit that can run an
entire season without an engine rebuild. It will be very interesting to see
how the new Bombardier works out in the field.

In the R/C aircraft world it's not uncommon to get 2 HP from .5 cubic inch
engines... I've got one that has survived 7 different airplanes over the
course of as many years... still runs strong.

I'm not a techi or mechanic. I did read Ricard Finch's book. A 2.2 L.

Honda

can put out 800hp. A mercedis benz can also put out 800 hp. at 14000rpm.
This engine has a TBO of 5-10 hrs.Seems to me the more you want from an
engine over and above the original design parameters the quicker the

engine

gets used up.

Think about it

their V300T engine that displaces 189 ci... or 3.096954L.

All the claims and reports are that they built this engine from the

up with aviation in mind, and did extensive computer modeling to ensure
reliability. I wonder if as these engines start flying and building

hours

if they will successfully change peoples perceptions regarding how much
horse power you can wring out of a modern engine.

That all depends if you're OLD school or NEW school. And how bullheaded

you

are...
