Why did they not simply keep the dual AVCS ej25? There is nothing wrong with that engine.
The new design seems to be solid and reliable as expected, but less friendly to modification. Part interchangability is gone. The cylinder walls are prone to flex with added power. Turbo install will have to be fully custom and the oil filter location is plain retarded.

Kind of late to the show... Max Orido already swapped a 2UR (5.0L IS-F V8) and Tetsuya Hibino has a 2.6L Cosworth built big turbo EJ25 in his FT86.

point still being a 500whp car with turbo lag would offer me a lot more pleasure then a 200 crank hp brz. like a said the brz looks great but its slow, it does handle great but for me the car would be a lot more fun to drive with more power.

Are you serious? The new tacoma filter placement is the best thing ever. Yes oil comes out of the filter but theres a little nipple thing that you just put a bottle or a cup under to catch it. WAY better than taking off the whole skid plate to make sure oil doesn't get all over that...
