Sorry, what I'm adding? You guys w bigger English is confusing me. You gotta translate it to Engrish.
You want me to list the EJ engine specs or the whole Subie boxer engine specs?
Put the joke on the side.
Let me start back from few ppl's comments

The new block is based of the EZ series of motor but as a 4 cylinder... Its lighter, smaller timing chain etc

Metallurgy has come a long way from the days of the 3S and JZ engines. Toyota does continue to build their engines with a wide margin for error.... the Aluminum metal matric block 2ZZs have been seeing up to 500hp. I wouldn't worry too much.
