that's not what i've seen. i've witnessed numerous turbo/sc S2000s that are on stock blocks and make pretty good power with low boost levels.

back on topic: there is really no reason why they couldn't design the flat 4 that's going into the FT86 to behave like the K20Z3 or even the F20C (although i think the former is plenty good enough). there's not some magical wall that designers hit when cylinder layout is changed. it's all about having a good head, intake, and exhaust designs.
SC s2000 I have seen but for turbos I have seen a couple but them were both built and talkin to the owners is how I learned the block isnt good to turbo stock but maybe that was just them.

I wouldn't want a engine like the k20z3, I mean its the black sheep of the K series no one really wants this engine in comparison to say a K20A.
