Obviously, this is ridiculous, but I wonder if the current 1.6L ( FB16) would fit in the engine bay. Looking at the almighty wikipedia, the engines that are larger than the EF12 and less than or equal to 1600cc are: FB16: 1,600 cc, DOHC, 78.8 mm bore x 82 mm stroke, 10.5:1 Compression Ratio, Rated at: 84 kW (115PS) @5,600 rpm, 150 Nm (15.3 kgm) @4,000 rpm in (2012+ EUDM Impreza XV 1.6i) EL15: Displacement: 1,498 cc bore x stroke: 77.7 x 79 mm compression ratio: 10.1 maximum horsepower: 110ps (81 kW) @ 6400 RPM maximum torque: 14.7kgm (144Nm) at 3,200 rpm AVCS EJ15: 1483.4 cc SOHC, 1990–2003 JDM Subaru Impreza EJ16: 90 hp at 5,600 rpm used in the 1993–2006 Subaru Impreza Are these carbourated only? EA62: 1267.5 cc OHV, 80 hp at 6,400 rpm used in the 1971–1972 Subaru G EA63: 1362 cc OHV, 58 hp at 5,200 rpm used in the 1973–1976 Subaru Leone EA65: 1,298 cc EA71: 1595 cc OHV, 67 hp at 5,200 rpm or 68@4800 rpm used in the 1976–1987 Subaru Leone and 1978–1980 Subaru BRAT

Kevin, The 2.5L has been done... in both NA and turbo forms... there's no reason the new 1.6 would not fit. But why? It's a ton of work to fit the boxer motor, everything but the shell is changed. If you are going down that road, no sense shorting your self nearly a 1000 cc of displacement!

Yeah I figured a boxer would not be an easy fit.
I think the 1.0T Ecoboost would be an awesome shoe horn (again, would make little practical sense).
The reason I was saying 1.6L is because that's the maximum displacement for a WRC these days.
BMW has a 1.5T DI 3 cylinder engine going in their new Mini that looks interesting. Anyone read anything about it?
