Over revs are usually from missed downshifting. I think most people think they're from over revving from acceleration

I would guess that most that had issues have either already shown them or they were fixed. Of course there could be a few sneak through still.

Yep! Impossible to over rev while accelerating since you hit the limiter and the fuel gets cut. You can bounce off that limiter all the time with no issues it is when you manage to go past it with a bad downshift that all hell breaks loose.

HP isn't as big of an issue as torque is. Oil pressure is an Achilles heal on these motors for people who really push their cars on the track, bu t for most people it shouldnt be an issue. The rods are another very weak point of the FA20, quite a few guys have blown up their cars by lugging the motors a little in higher gears. Torque turns the stock rods into wet noodles. With all of that said, "is it safe" is the wrong mindset to have. As someone else said "If I fuck this up, can I pay to fix it", if the answer is yes then add some power, if no then forget about it until you can. There are guys running 400+ WHP on stock motors and the track who are still going strong, there are guys who are making under 300WHP and have punched a window in the block cruising.

If you have an early 13' model,
assuming it would be better to get a good tune rather than staying with the crappy tune from the factory? |

The oem tuners have to consider power, economy and emissions. I am guessing these parameters are mutually exclusive.

This was only rearly an issue for people who shifted at or near redline and was exagerated by low quality fuels. Was also known as the Direct injector seal fix but was actually a severe knock fix on high rpm shifts. Below is the transient retard tables from early to late 2013 both stock roms\tune Note also that prior to early 2013 the rpm setting error meant that these tables hence transient retard was completly disabled in early roms Last edited by steve99; 04-14-2017 at 07:45 AM. |

I've been beating the crap out of mine.
Don't let it warm up in the mornings (I lived in Hawaii, Calif and Texas though) Constant hammering through gears. Bounce off the rev limit all the time. Using an OFT Flex Fuel Beta tune (only performance item on car) Dealer did not put the filler cap back on after an oil change and I ran ~3 quarts low. Currently running low on coolant. Did a 9k mile oil change recently Yeah its my daily, no I dont have another vehicle. If it dies, it dies. Just gives me a reason to build it for high boost. |

I've been running low on coolant (slightly below minimum line) since I bought my car 4+ years ago lol. Never bothered to top it off.. after a while, I just forgot about it. I finally bought a gallon of Subaru coolant last month, I'll top it off eventually.
