But I’m not sure why Subaru chose a boxer design over what porsche did with the flat(?) crankshaft.
Either way never lug your engines and they will never lug you.

Flat, boxer opposing, all the same thing. Not really sure what you are referring to with regards to the crank being flat. The Porsche’s are laid out the same as ours. Both engines will have half the cylinders at TDC at the same time. Our firing order is 1324 just like the 718.
