There Was An Article Posted In Another Thread That described How Toyota Basically Re-Engineered The Engine When The Subaru Version Topped Out At 160 HP Before It Began Exceeding Target Emissions. That's When The Direct Injection Was Also Integrated. Which Was Toyota's Most Advanced System And Not At All Part Of The Original Plan.
Transmission And Power Steering Are All Toyota Too. The Entire Concept Of Rear Drive, And Naturally Aspirated, All Toyota. Two Details Subaru Very Much Resisted At The Beginning.
