So... why can't Toyobaru do this for the twins? Wonder how this will affect the engine's longevity and reliability, if at all.

Because real racecar.
Don't expect the engine to be super reliable. Its goal is to last a race, at which point it probably gets rebuilt or replaced. Last edited by jvincent; 07-30-2014 at 09:35 AM. |

Not to mention this engine doesn't need to meet emissions standards, nor be expected to run 200k plus miles the way a production car has to.

All valid points.
Most forum jockeys saying "zomg why you no 250hp NA" ignore all the bullshit regulations corporations have to deal with in making vehicles. IMO we are a bit lucky we even have our "anemic" 200hp 2.0 "light weight" RWD coupe mirin dat single exit exhaust

What i find really interesting is this:
"This CS-R3 will be available in kit form from early next year, though pricing is to be announced when the final spec has been, erm, finalised." Source:http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/t...led-2014-07-30 |

Class rules: http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public...06.2012%29.pdf
Head gasket can be shaved by 1 mm to achieve max compression of 12:1. Maybe someone can run the math and figure out what they might've set the compression to. Cam specs are in there as well (well, to a degree they are as limits).

There's no official release notes on any Toyota or Subaru website or blog etc. Therefore like Motor Authourity just another rumour mill type release folks.
