new jdm legacy B4 uses FA20 turbo
i just realized this. am i the only one out of the loop? the jdm legacy B4 uses a turbo FA20 that was completely built in house by subaru with DI. the engine block has been beefed up for boost, has a 10.6 compression ratio and makes 300ps and 295 lb/ft of torque.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...baru_FA_engine sounds like it would be a very simple engine swap, or you could swap the internals for an affordable turbo engine build. sorry if this is old news. |

No offense, but ya its kinda old news.
If the FA20T in the JDM legacy was used in a BRZ the turbo would be scraping on the ground. Turbo location is all wrong for the BRZ. This does give hope for a turbo BRZ/STI and possible use of the FA20T in the WRX/STI. Only time will tell. I'm actually hoping the BRZ/STI is a NA 2.5L FA engine (FA25). |

The engine wouldn't be a direct swap with all of the turbo plumbing in the same locations, but hopefully the internals will be useful.
