How hard would it be to swap in a Porsche's boxer 6 cyl into a Toyobaru in order to have more power but retain the cool low-gravity-center driving characteristics?

come on, has nobody really thought about this?

cause EJ20/25 or what ever the new boxer 2.0 turbo is now in the latest WRX would be probably a more logical choice.
Also seem to be solid formula for making power with the old EJ20/25.

no.
It would be extremely hard. a porsche engine is situated in a completely different sized and positioned engine bay. Alot of work would need to be done on things like the intake, exhaust and gearbox to make it work.
V8's, I6's, V6's, I4's and rotaries all fit in the bay a hell of a lot easier than even the stock engine did and withot ruining the balance like a flat 6 would. low COG from an engine point of view really isn't worth much when fitting the whole engine behind the front axle is much more beneficial.
The toyota GR V6 is the perfect motor for this car

why swap a porsche engine in when you could swap an EJ20TT or an EZ engine in.

This guy gets it
GT86 hood is long enough to accept an I6 comfortably, the problem was never length but width. The boxer was a bad start point, even with COG considered. Should have been I4 from the get go

Stupid idea. The bolt pattern for the transmission is entirely different and good luck finding a transmission for a porch that is for FR instead of RR.
