The 'adding D4-S to the FB20 to get 170 hp' idea is, (as Exage mentioned in a more polite manner) fucking ludicrous. They have a 170 hp FB25. There is no reason to put a fuck-ton of R&D into a motor that will just result in the same power as one you already have, that weighs pretty close, and already fits. And they share the same long stroke, so it's not going to be anymore rev happy than the FB25 (well a tiny bit less mass from smaller pistons). So all you get for more money is the same power, less torque, and a bit of fuel economy.
This is stupid. Toyota and Subaru are NOT stupid. This won't happen.
This will either be a balls-out FB20 at 200 hp or an all-new design, possibly shared with the upcoming WRX/STI.
Again, 200 hp out of the FB20 is not something I'm super comfortable with, given it may not have anything left for the tuners, without some major (internal) $$$ changes.
