You're exactly right; I hadn't read well enough that you were looking for NA AVCS's.

ichitaka's EL15 example is the only thing I know of.

But the heads are being redesigned anyway, I think it'd be more likely that the architecture is more similar to a Toyota (like the V6 DI engines or something) than Subie - I thought the original plan was (next-gen)EJ shortblock with Toyota heads.
For instance, the D4-S system was essentially confirmed on GT5; and that's used on the IS's - with dual VVT-i.

Which, as my 2am mind wanders off on a tangent, could be indicative of the kind of power we might get form the FT: an IS250 (4GR-FSE) has D4-S that FT86 should get; and makes 204HP, with 185TQ and at only 6500RPM. Good stuff!
