And why EJ>FA?

When going from the EJ to the FA, you're just trading one weakness for others. Aside from better fuel economy, there's no real benefit to the new engine. EJs are known to have ringlands or bearings go. FAs have seen the same issues, plus rod failures when modified. It isn't really an upgrade; you're just picking which failures you'd prefer to have lol.
Furthermore, it sounds gross (subjective) and falls on its face at higher RPMs.
Now, if they gave us an FA20DIT that utilized forged internals, better cooling, and more top end power, while increasing reliabilty/durability, I'd be on board. Until that day comes though, I'll stick with the EJ.
