The 260 HP engine to which I was referring is the FA20DIT, which is almost identical to the FA20/4UGSE. The development of the two engines was virtually concurrent. Not suggesting dropping in an EJ.

Well there you go. The DIT came in 2014, the 86/brz in 2012. So yeah they could have put a FA20DIT, and I probably agree they should have done it for the MY17, but at the time (2012) it was probably part of the development process and not quite ready yet.
