I'd rather compare this to engines of it's own size, the best example would be that in '97 Toyota got 94 kW out of the 3S-FE and when Yamaha came in they made the BEAMS which puts out 156 kW and 220 Nm of torque. Toyota has always asked Yamaha's help with powerful NA's and I can't see any reason why not this time. Anyways, this all goes down to how much power they dare to take out of the boxer without compromising the durability of the boxer. They do have the skills to go over 200 horses but will the engine stand it? I certainly hope so. Aren't boxers supposed to be better balanced than I4's because of all the pistons moving againts each other?
