Is anyone planning on using the FA20 engine?

How long it will last depends on the engineering.

Im not aware of any differences in the block or the crank between the fa20 n/a and the fa20t.
SCR changes from 12.5:1 to 10.6:1.
Not sure of any other internal differences.
So thats good for us...
The abilit to keep port injection I think is great!

Sti 6 speed for sure, but why the latest gen?

Allegedly lighter weight than the STi six speed. Allegedly all mechanical no dccd to fiddle with, easier FWD conversion. Just an opinion.

probably correct, but heads and cam profiles are different so I've read. Jury is still out on if they will be that much better or not, and worth the $ premium they will likely fetch over the NA FA20
