It just happens that Toyota are wrapped they have someone who knows the flat 4 back to front and knowhow to maximise power. I'll leave it up to you guys to work out who this So-Cal garage might be. He said they will deliver the FT-86 with the FB motor. He is of the opinion it will come as a 2.5 liter it is likely to be the same spec as what's in the Forrester. His shop is likely to get 250-300hp out of NA and 450-500 hp out of blown.

Could be fun.

Sorry that I can not name him or his shop. He is a new friend and has no idea I will post.
So this mysterious So-Cal garage, knows a completely new, un-released flat-4 design, with many new and different technologies or components, 'back to front' already?

And you're taking as fact this information from someone you've just met?

Please elaborate/clarify/source this.
