Turbocharged FA20 targeted for 270hp. Confirmed for next gen WRX
 

In some FA20 related news, according to Motor Trend, Subaru of America has just confirmed that the next generation Subaru WRX will receive a turbocharged version of the FA20 engine (from the BRZ, FR-S, GT86).

The turbo FA20 2.0L flat four motor will have a targeted output of 270 horsepowers.

For comparison, the current WRX engine is a 2.5L 265hp engine.

hopefully the mounts line up and the engine will fit

Mounts would line up, but may require a bit of work/rerouting to fit.. depends on how everything is fitted.

Lulz i can see where this thread is going but good find hachi.

It will be interesting to learn what kind of internal changes they made. Lower-compression pistons for example. Time will tell.

A 270 hp turbo BRZ sounds godly.

I don't think this engine will be in the BRZ. I think the BRZ STI will more focus on even more weight reduction rather that alot more power thanks to turbocharging.

Assuming that the EJ25 and this new motor are both swappable, with similar difficulty, into the BRZ, why would anyone choose the smaller displacement motor? Is DI that advantageous?

You, sir, speak the truth. :party0030:

I suppose if this is true then it confirms that turbo is possible?

Doesn't mean it'll be easy or cheap though, I guess...

I wonder if 270 is for WRX, how much WRX/STI will get?

:thanks: That's exactly what I thought when I read the article this morning. The reading was followed by loud expletives that my boss didn't appreciate.

You aren't condoning street racing now are you?
