Welcome to the site! :D

As for 200hp, are you talking crank or wheels? with AWD, whp will be much harder to achieve.

[cannedbil]

i was thinkin 200whp, but i guess i'll start by gettin it over 200hp crank, and keep workin my way up

[Wiscon_Mark]

200 whp is probably in the 270 chp range on an AWD car

Welcome to SLi :wink:

I would have to say that 200 WHP on a naturally aspirated 2.5l AWD car is next to immpossible and still keep it street legal (not to mention reliable). A stock 2.5l is making 168chp max, and when running AWD, is pushing a little over 100hp to the road. So you would need to double the WHP of the car.

As Mark said, running an AWD drivetrain sucks a lot of horsepower from the car. Especially on an automatic tranny. The transmission would have to be rebuilt, or swapped for a built manual. I doubt it would hold up long taking abuse from that much power.

I hope you have some serious cash, becuase that goal of 200WHP is going to run you a great deal of money on a NA car.

If you want that much power, I would suggest a engine swap or different car.
