Meeting that kind of performance standard with todays emissions requirements is another story though. DAMN EMISSIONS! Haha.
I love turbo cars but I'm not disappointed at all that the FT86 gets a relatively high comp NA. Will still be really fun to drive.  Few light mods to remove those emissions reducing measures and I have faith it'll be an impressive engine in terms of power:displacement ratio. I think it'll challenge some of the older turbo cars too. |

I don't know how much room the "FA20" has in terms of revs. I am calculating a rod-stroke ratio of 1.55 (factoring increased compression), which is okay, but engines revving to 8000 tend to have a higher ratio.
I hope they sort out some sort of low restriction catalytic converter, or something. Maybe the problem is that Toyota wants SULEV II or whatever rating for this, when they don't have to score that high. Then there's the option of switching out stuff so it only meets the bare minimum.

ZOM!
It was JDM except for the Celica so I'm going to guess the USDM emissions were a big factor. 200HP at 7000RPM 15 years ago!
Thanks for sharing that. I didn't read much on the 3S-GE before. So that was the engine they used in the Altezza. hmm.
