You do realize that turbo and supercharger applications basically deliver the same effects as increasing the displacement of an engine? |

How many people buy a corolla or a Camry to take to the track or use as a drift car? How many owners wind up their corollas and drop the clutch at stop lights? You keep calling this engine "fragile" , torqueless... Etc.. Yet 100hp per L is nothing to complain about.. It lacks torque.. Just like you would expect a lightweight high revving roadster to be equipped. Yet most of the tq is available way down low and is very useable in the real world.. Allowing this car to get great mileage in the city and hwy when being driven as a commuter car.. Yet you can run it on the back roads and twisties all day long with adequate power and still get good mileage. Not much to complain about here.. You keep saying this engine is fragile and so many failures.. How many failures.. In the tens.. ? Maybe a hundred or so.. Most of them from abuse, bad tunes, track warriors.. The percentage seems to be very low for engine failures.. Some problems exist as in any new engine offering.. Many threads about failures on here are all over the place from the same people.. Self induced, most of them.. From bad mods or abuse. There just aren't that many on here like you would like us to believe.. Nor is your comparisons to other subies or toyota engines. You have complained about gas mileage, power, reliability, the demise of scion, subarus engines, rattles... Just about everything that has to do with this car.. I think you bought the wrong car and just won't admit it.. So you blame the car, the designers,DI, Toyota, subaru and just about everything else related to this car.. It's really kinda funny to read such negative posts about a very affordable, extremely capable, great looking entry level sports car.. People on here running 400+ HP on a stock block with 12.5:1 CR, FI and all and not having any issues with their "fragile" FA20 setup.. Sell your car and buy a corolla.. Then maybe you will have something nice to say.. |

I love my car, but if they improve it, someone else will when I upgrade.

At the end of the day I'd rather put forth the effort and hardwork in the car myself. If toyota would like to release a turbo sti package or trd supercharger to uphold the warrenty that would be greatly appreciated. First I must make a note to novice drivers purchasing this car or better yet waiting for a boosted option FIRST and foremost learn to drive this car at its current potential without traction control on this will teach you how to save your car instinctually. It's the same as any motor function with time and practice you'll become a better driver. Rear wheel drive car with FI are very tricky do the basics first wheels,tires, suspension than go from there.

Come on people they have a perfectly good engine. The turbo 2.0 liter engine in the new 2015 WRX. Put that engine in the 2015 FR-s/BRZ as the base engine and call it a day.

(Now, if you can find a similar-displacement, similarly cheap naturally aspirated engine that makes substantially more torque than the FA20, you might have a point. You won't find that though, since it doesn't exist) |
