its amazing to me of HOW LOUD the aftermarket community is yelling at Toyota/Subaru "hey you put the wrong motor in this platform" the FA20 motor is a trash can

On the other hand, there is a loud group of car enthusiasts who have begged for more cheap, RWD, light weight cars. These enthusiasts got the twins. The Toyota fan boys didn’t get a Toyota motor. The Honda fan boys didn’t get anything. The Subaru fanboys didn’t get AWD. Etc, etc. They couldn’t please everyone making one car. Inevitably, lightweight, low powered, sports cars often get swaps. The 240 saw a lot of swaps. The RX7 saw a lot too. The Miata continues to be popular for swaps. The twins will be no different. |

Every engineered object in your daily life is a compromise and the result of a number of different teams trying to hit multiple (sometimes conflicting) targets. The 86 is no different. Did it hit it's design objective to live it's life NA in 95% of street use cases? Yep. Having the engine survive making 25% more power regularly was not an objective, thus you see the failures when you ask a system to do things it wasn't designed to from the get go. There just isn't the strtength margin in the design to do it. That's not a wrong choice of powerplant for the car, it just wasn't a design goal. What was a design goal is the fantastic chassis balance and steering feedback. They hit that target for sure. I just want a smidge more power and a bit less weight. If that comes from the K24 swap with similar reliability, I'm interested. |

This seems like a solid swap because in my opinion the K24 is one of the best 4 cylinder engines ever made, but just because the fa20 isn't as good as the K24 doesn't make the fa20 garbage in my opinion. |
