Hi all,
Well thatīs about my car then The BRZ has attracted me a lot since it has been released. Also because of the reason that, due to my job I have quite relation to Subarus. However, I simply couldnīt be friends witht he 200 hp na under the bonnet. So quite some while ago, the idea was born to fit in the power plant which I think should have been in the car already at the very beginning. The latest Subaru 2.0 DI Turbo (FA20DIT). Said, done..... well not really! Spent 1/2 year of development, including some serious CAD Job to get that factory boosted piece of alloy into the BRZ. Yes... cam across all the known topics including: - Turbo position - gearbox flange - starter position - wiring (BRZ ECU in Car, FA20DIT in engine bay!!!) - and many smaller details more BUT, when all of the above topics are handled properly, very nice solution can be found to put that nice little OEM 300 ho and 400 Nm engine into the BRZ. at this point it has to be stated that there is NO, zero, NOT AT ALL, modifications of the chassis, BRZ OE Loom, bodywork needed apart from drilling a few holes for attaching some bolts. So the output of that project is a straight plugīnīplay solution, which can be reversed to OE D4-S lump in a 1 day job! That car is the first prototype to run endurance tests and fix the detailed spec of all components. Based on this, a continuous development is planned (already plenty of optimisation ideas) Soon the stuff will e made available. Also it should be said, that we have run that engine (FA20DIT) on the engine dyno with absolutely stock components (even exhaust) as "Harinjo" has mentioned with an output of 352 ps and 521 Nm!! Imagine what figures will be reached when the there will be more performance components available for the DIT! So, whatīs your opinion? Iīm extremely interested in your feedback. Comment, discuss, ask, critisize... whatever is on your mind re that car one pic here: |

its awesome that you got it to fit. But other than drilling a few holes for bolts, plug n play?
How did you guys address the issues mentioned, and still can give the description "Plug n Play"?

Well, thatīs why it took some time to solve it.
Of course youīll understand that I wonīt give you the details yet When used with all components from speedheads, itīs deffinitely plugīnīplay!!! That was one of the major targets. (which doesnīt mean that it isnīt been working on a bad ass version already!) PS: even the window washer tank hasnīt got to be removed Canīt wait to do the first run (currently waiting for the final electric adaptor looms, shall be delivered middle of january) will keep you updated!! |

With folks breaking everything behind the engine with a stock FA20, what are you experiencing with the additional power this engine produces?

Iīll be able to answer that topic at a later time. The test phase in the car is still to be done. Of course, when having the possibility to squeeze out 521 Nm, the question: "and what about the tranny?" is absolutely appropriate!! There are some ideas about that topic also, but thatīs still uite far off. First next step is to validate the function of the conversion kit, and finalize the parts line-up and spec. There do exist some solutions to have reinforce the transmission, so that topic is currently not ranked on the top of the TODO list for me. |
