Also Serial, I gave a few examples of older motors that made close to 85lb-ft/L without direct injection and with lower compression ratios. Remember I was basing it on the BEAMS which was ~80/L with less CR and no direct injection as well as the 2GRFSE which is 79/L and not a dedicated performance motor (also less CR). And also at the gains the FSE 2GR made over the regular FE.
This motor has 170 lb-ft in it easily so long as they are willing to sacrifice the wide, flat torque curve. Like I said, cams (plus supporting vavletrain), revised intake and exhaust geometry and it will be really close to the GT5 220/170 specs if not even better hp...

But will that pass federal emissions testing? Some of these old cars with these motors stopped being imported into the US; even though, they were still in production in Japan.
The only issue here is can it pass US emissions because I'm sure these FA20 motors can make more power.
