Hm... No offense to Porsche, but if I want big power like that, I'll have STI engine and tranny. I have more option to choose from and prob be half of the cost... or if I wanna keep it NA like Porsche, put Leggy's H6 with STI tranny and go to tune shop to bore it out, forge piston (or even titanium), rod, racing cams, porting ceramic coating, 5 angle valve job, and all other job done and it'll still be less than cost of Porsche boxer engine with custom tranny.

As for crank rotation... Yes, all the Subie rotates like you said, clock wise from the flywheel view and yes, some Porsche engine did make ccw rotation, but iirc we're talking bout 70's Porsche here.



It's not a rumor, it's a fact that it's gonna have Aisin's tranny.

I don't disagree with you that an STi engine would be a better choice per say, I'm just saying a Porsche engine isn't as big a deal to swap into an FR car as you are making it out to be.
