Okay, did some extensive researching and i'm going to correct myself here...
It will not just "drop in." Other things are needed: conrods, bearings,
custom pistons, some other things.. The heads WILL NOT have to be changed
because of the compression - that's what the custom pistons are for.
In conjunction with Sass Motorsports out of Hillsboro, OR; I'll be
developing a 2.3L kit that will be available as high compression, stock
compression, or low compression (for turbos). This work will be done on a
2.2L NON-TURBO engine so we can make it safer for all 2.2L Subarus. For all
interested, email me off-list and I'll keep you updated on advances up to
the debut of the final product.
Talk to you all later!
