I've been wandering why is the 5sfe engine tilted? Does it have to do with the transmission position or what? I'm clueless to why it's tilted. Lol.

Because they forgot the other 4 cylinders?
No, the correct answer is above, to maintain hood lines and what not, it's a tall engine. The S series do come in cars in a normal 90 deg position, for example in the Altezza where there is ample room. -------------------- |
