2014 WRX benefit the 86?
 

Was thinking with the 2014 WRX having the same engine as our cars, would it be smart to wait till its dropped, before rushing to buy all these aftermarket parts? I imagine a lot of the +260hp WRX internals will retrofit the 86?
Not a car expert, but seems logical.

its gonna have direct injection as well? if this is so cobb will be on it for tuning and even more support from other companies. id wait

Is it even going to be out as a 2014 model? I think we might see it as a 2015 actually but in early 2014 calender year.

Can you explain what you are trying to say? From what I gather its a big NO.

I think, what he trying to say is, can he swap '14 wrx turbo motor into the 86?

Answer to that question is no, like you said. :)

If that is the question, why would you want to? There are plenty of turbo/sc options out that are holding up just fine on the stock motor thus far. And they cost less than an brand new engine swap with small factory turbo.

It seems like for most peoples' goals, the stock internals are just fine. (so far)

I'm curious to see what the limits of the stock internals are.

because small companies with little testing providing kits that hold up fine are not as good as giant companies providing from the ground up engineering and a warranty

no warranty with an engine swap though. plus just being a big company doesn't mean anything necessarily, just ask people that got an 08 STi. Going to a good tuner means a lot.

btw, I am not going turbo just think there is a better option then engine swaps.

if you guy a new engine from subaru, you will get a warranty. im not saying its the way to go or the most cost effective. im just saying that there is definitely reason to have more faith in oem components over aftermarket. that bad tune on the sti was in the name of reliability. no oem is going to want to take a tune to the components limits. thats why an aftermarket can exist and why that same aftermarket will void oem warranties. besides, a tune and a turbo kit are two very different things

He stated he's not a car expert, so we have simply answer he's question.

Google & you can find a lot of NA engine turn into turbo w stock internal... BUT that doesn't mean everyone knows that. WRX engine is meant for boosting vs FRS engine isn't.

& I'm guessing here, he "assumed" they'll use both same engine (which btw isn't), so why can't we use WRX engine to "safely" boost it.

Just wait out the warranty on your FRS. By that time it will be clear which turbos give the best reliability and performance, then you can do whatever you want without the guilt of voiding the warranty.

i am still not sure what i want to do about my 100,000 mile warranty... its going to be a long wait for turbo if i do decide to wait it out
