Yea, a long time ago when it was first announced they gave some details on the motor. It was an aluminum block, which makes you wonder if it will be able to handle high HP. The 2.0l 4G63 outperforms the 2.5l STi motor in just about every way except for magazine specs. The Evo often puts down more HP to the wheels stock, even though it's rated less than the STi. And a lot of the STi torque is due to the tiny turbo they put on those things.
