As you may or may not know, FHI makes engines for a variety of machines in addition to Subaru vehicles, including Polaris snowmobiles and various small Robin generators....

Yeah, but can you turbocharge it :D . Pull 4 horse out of that bad boy. You'd look like Lance on steroids going up hills.

I'd put it on a lowrider bike and then I could say I have a lowrider Subaru. Gangsta

That's a lot of jingle for a toy...

But that is a pretty danged cool toy. Especially if you could do a few things to it... Forced induction... higher output sparks... Or put it on something different like a little peddle car.

Okay... maybe not. That would be just silly.

No, really you'd just want to send the compression to high heaven and run that nitro stuff they use in r/c cars. Maybe convert it to water cooled. Mount the radiator up front with a baffle to make sure air runs through it. Have the water pump run off the chain somewhere. People would laugh at you until you go flying past them on a really hot muggy day and all their little air-cooled bikes are bogging down. :wink:
