Question To much bhp ?

Hello, I was wondering how much horsepower can the Subaru WRX make 2002 engine handle ?
I have heard that the block cant handle more then 310bhp, is that true ?
If I stay at 300-320 what proplems can I except from the engine ?
If there are any proplems how can I fix them ?
Thanks...

Armann,

My MY01 WRX is currently at 368bhp

Has been around the 350bhp mark for the last 15k miles

No problems (So Far.... Touches wood frantically)

Good luck with the mods

Hope you don't mind me asking but what sort of mods have you got to get that sort of power

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see the standard engine capable of 400bhp, though I would imagine you're well into the zone of increased risk at that power output!

It's all a question of longevity, rather than whether or not it will or won't. Perhaps you should ask "How long will 2002 WRX engine last at xxx bhp". And even then, every engine is different.
