250 hp for $1500 with adapter any one?

Thinking of cows jumping over the moon one night laying in bed thinking, I decided that the subaru EJ20T is an excellent choice for a motor. And for the value, it can't be beat.

Here is how I came up with the $1500 figure:

EJ20T from Nippon-motors.com - $650

Shipping average - $200

Adapter with fly wheel from kennedy engineering - $410

Clutch from anyone your little heart desires - $190

ECU off of Ebay - $50

A 915/901 wouldn't have any problems holding up to this motor which would be one wicked little combo. Not to bad since a 150 hp air-cooled motor averages between $3000-$4500, which is what you could get this whole setup for.

I'm going with the EJ20TT. I'm doing a single turbo conversion. I'll run the motor at 18 lbs of boost until it blows up then get a STI shortblock and put forged and billet goodies and cryo and nitride the block and crank and then put 33 lbs of boost and then play with my 540 hp 6 speed toy.
Rock and Roll :help:!
