Well yes i have done research....think about it.......the subframe for my car was built to handle the HP of my car........the subframe of the b18c5 or b18c subframe was built to handle the HP of those engines........now tell me that my subframe will handle the HP of 185-210 hp without severe stress.....the sub for my car IS weaker than that of the other 2 engines.....since it was specifically engineered to handle the HP of my engine......now why would i want to spend all the time to reinforce my subframe when i could just bot on the correct subframe to support the HP and torque of the more powerfull engine??...........do you think someone running a 350 325 HP car is gonna leave the subframe stock when they drop in a 454 425hp+? no cause its gonna twist under stress.......not that a 4banger is gonna be alot more strees it's just a safety precaution.......and for about $300 more it saves time and $
