These are my posts from your other thread which explains why I don't think they will use the FB20 block. The fact that the Yamaha name has been thrown around now explains why I HOPE they don't use the FB20 block as the foundation for a naturally aspirated engine. |
When did I ever ask the same question again? The thread you are linking was the whole FB20 vs. FB25. This thread is about getting official news on the engine. You speculated that they would not use a FB20 block.

I then provided a link to an article where an auto writer mentioned the FB20 could be the basis of the new engine in the FT86 based on their own speculation/expectation.

They don't have to make a whole new engine which is why I specifically stated the FB20 BLOCK. I think it makes more economical sense to take the FB25 block and components and re-design it to 2.0L than risk pre-mature engine failure by constantly ringing out a D4-S FB20 (especially if the redline is above 7500rpm). I've stated my views on this previously in your other thread. But, who knows? It's all speculation!

As you said it is all speculation and based off of your views. There is no reason to get upset when someone else provides something that you might not agree with. I am honest enough to say that I don't know what the engine will be like but I would like to know since I am interested in this car. However you don't seem honest enough to say that since you believe you are right and everyone else is wrong. You can speculate as much as you want, as you mentioned you have, but please don't act like you know it all and everyone else is dumb if they don't agree with you.

First, I never asked you to explain the engine in this thread. Did I? I asked a general question of why they wouldn't just tweak the FB20 for the FT-86 instead of designing a whole new engine for it. Secondly, I realize now that a lot of your opinion/expectations/speculations is based off of what you
HOPE this engine to be like rather than what Subaru/Toyota will end up doing. Ultimately in the end none of us know and we all are waiting for some official news.

This is a great question and hopefully someone here as an answer to it. But probably not since we would have heard something about it by now?
