definitely not 100k. you can get a built/bulletproof crate engine for like 10-15, add to that the turbo, fuel system, and all the custom fabrication and I'd say its in the 30k range plus the car.
What I really dont get is why build a suby boxer engine for topend/insane hp when clearly the engine is not made for that? I mean, take an evo and invest half the money and you got a 8-9-10 second car easily.
a wrx/sti is made more for fun daily driving, off roading/rally, and mainly mid range power IMHO.....not to be a topend monster. lets face it: the boxer cant compete with inline engines like the 4g63 for peak power numbers.
Its an interesting build and pretty cool, but I'd NEVER want to build a 1000hp wrx.
