Toyota is committed to these GR cars and an enduring legacy. Good on them for creating, selling, and now supporting them (even when it is almost assuredly the owner's mistake)!

The engine configuration is certainly not run of the mill but the design and materials of construction certainly are. I'm sure the engine is perfectly reliable at stock power levels but this is in that Subaru EJ territory of a high strung economy engine where you roll the dice once you start upping the power levels. To be fair it seems it's a little more robust than a Subaru engine as per below.
