Dunno dude, I can't tell what those drawings actually depict. Too fuzzy.
Since this thread is hopefully alive again, I am going to say again, I have STRONG feelings this engine will get a major update. 30mpg they say? Ain't gonna cut it when EPA says this is a small car that should get 40 in a test that makes you use the brakes (anyone ever seen the EPA cycle? highway test is definitely not what a typical day of driving looks like, even in traffic). 197hp is also pretty pathetic considering the 2ZZ made like what 189? It doesn't matter that the EPA wants less CO/hydrocarbon whatever emissions, if 197 is correct they don't have much to show for all the effort that went into this engine...
Considering how the phase in of direct injection and legit VVT is not going as fast as originally promised, I think this is just an interim engine that they're sticking into this car so it can be released in 2012, not 2014.
