Optional engine?

Should Toyota also offer a more powerful engine for the FT-086a??

I don't want this car to have a V6 actually. It'll make it more expensive, and heavier. I want this thing to be light, well balanced and not a high HP car stock. If I wanted a RWD coupe with a V6 I'd just get a 370z.

Yea, the thing I like about the use of the boxer is it's ability to add some center of gravity benifits. I'd take a modern 2jz though

Would like to see this with a 2ZZ-GE with the ECU from Lotus, but that is just a dream.

I think the EJ25 turbo would have enough power but it would be kinda cool to see the 3.0 twin turbo engine that they have over in japan

The FT-86 is to come with a 2.0L, what benefit will a 2.5L boxer give it? I don't believe much; even worth as an option. Toyota should work out a power plant that's light and a minimum of 3.0L w/ D4 injection for an engine option. Just a thought.

the 2.5L i was referring to was obviously the ej25... and while JDM 2.0Ls may have some benefits, the 2.5L does have room for potential
the only reason they kept it 2.0L in the first place was to meet WRC specs


lol, and apparently im the only person who would be a fan of a 2GR-FSE option, not that i dont like boxers... i have one myself

Just saying 2.0L H4 => 2.5L H4, not really big change.... Say 2.0L H4 => 3.3L H6, yeah sure... or 2.5L H4 => 3.6L H6........and these already for Subarus. Just believe engine option should be a larger significants to power etc.

Wouldn't mind the 2GR-FSE but the FT-86 is gonna be small right? Guess we'll eventually see what the ultimate plan will be.


Meanwhile....power from 2.0L H4 (if seen before ignore - a bit old)

I wasn't trying to say that 2.5Ls are better than 2.0Ls.
What I was basically trying to ask is would you rather have an EJ253 or an EJ257??
...
lol that's what i thought

Я думаю, нам больше ничего не надо комментировать.
