I'll give you that one. My Corvair had head gasket issues and I bet I had that engine in and out about 10 times. Got so I could pull the thing in minutes though.

"where will it sit among the great 4cyl NA's?"
Absolutely nowhere, unless its leagues ahead of the current FA20 it's not going anywhere. The chassis and back to basics concept will be appreciated down the line but I don't think the engines will. OP I'm sorry you have a severe dose of rose tinted glasses. |

Ah.. I see. But I guess the way I perceived it was he might be saying they just stuck something in for now, but it may be updated once the actual car goes into production?

It's things like a spun rod bearing or even doing a quick refresh on the top end that take so long and annoy me. Any other engine it is just pull the heads and the oil pan. Not this split the block shit.

Could be a temp. Won't really know who will get what until they send the regional specs out. Could even be all the same but that would be a first.

Alfa Romeo Alfasud boxer wasn't entirely popular either.
I have a preference for the inline Alfas.

At least you don't have to move the spare tire. And you can lift the engine out of the car instead of lifting the car off the engine!

The reality is that it had less of an impact than the graph would make you think. It was a minor drop for a fraction of a second when accelerating and meaningless if you kept in the right gear. Just don't shift up right in the middle of it and it is a none issue.

I love the 86/BRZ for things that aren't about the engine - I dont care if its rose colored, its a great car. We havent seen the new engine yet, and I wont argue hard for the OG engine. But I think I have enough cause to be hopefull. 1 - it sure _sounded_ nice when he revved it in the video - When I think it flips to DI only - gets a real waaarmp going. 2 - Its got a fucking enormous amount of torque for a NA 4cyl, and from 2500 almost all of it look on tap to 7k. I really don't know what to expect, exciting. 3 - Statistically its among the greatest outputs recorded for a production car in its category. If this is a swan song for toyota/Subaru NA platform (the march of the hybrids!), then thats pretty cool. |

If we use the company provided ideal test data that is displayed on the dash the same as you are using the BRZ one then we get 136 ft.lbs at the bottom of the dip not 120. Can't use the company data for one and an actual dyno for another and say it is an apples to apples comparison.

It still felt good over 5-5.5, and it reved out after 7, so if you keep it on the boil its got the right amount of pull (for the car), but yeah frustrating. If you dont feel it then I can only assume there is some hakone magic going on for you. |
