Of greatest significance to FSAE is that, at first glance, it appears that there were no changes to the engine aside from the obvious EFI hardware. Ideally, this means that the new flywheel and three-phase charging system will swap to a 2007-2011 motor. Can someone who is more intimately familiar with the 2007-2011 motor confirm that there are no visible differences?
