The 2.0 starion is faster than the 2.6 starion, it's only 11hp less than the 2.6 stock (177 vs 18 but it weighs a lot less too.
It would be interesting to get a 2.0 starion (4G63 engine) and swap in a 4G63 from a turbo DSM. The gains are a better flowing head and multipoint fuel injection.

An N/A 2.0L in the 80's making 177hp was the ---- !!! I bet turbo RX7s didn't make that much ( in real world, not the play world of "rotory guys" )...

SIde note... RX-8 = 155LBS. of torque !!! Dumb asses !!

The turbo 2.0L in the starion was 177hp. It's not really an efficient motor, 8 valves, choking head, choking intake manifold with a tiny little throttle body and TBI fuel injection.

Wonder what it would have been capable of if they didnt screw it up so bad

That's where the DSM engine makes sense, it's should bolt right in since it's the same basic engine block.
