As a max Mike? C'mon surely you believe the QG18DE-T can do more than 200whp max don't you? I mean our NPM Project 200SX 1.6 Turbo is pushing over 200whp. 204.2 wheel horsepower at 181.3-ft lbs. @ 11 PSI to be exact. With 200whp you could run 14's all day

But back to the original question, Chimmike is right, unless you want to spend some serious dough, it's just not recommended or worth it. But hey if you got the money and want to do a swap and if you don't want to go turbo you could always drop in a SR20VE motor. That would be fun to have as well.
