It's a troll by Subaru. It's exactly the same engine. Despite less of that hollow burbling sound and much smoother from 4k to the 7300 rpm fuel cut off, its the same engine. That big swell of torque you now feel, that wasn't there before? Not true. Subaru cared about the FA20 owners so much they kept it all the same out of respect. It's definitely not more powerful with a much better power delivery and torque you can use either as a lazy American or to hold a slide better. Here is the best way I can put it and I promise I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings.

If you told me an FA20 made 180 hp and 140 torque? I would believe you. If you told me an FA24 makes 250 hp and 200 torque? I would believe you. The difference in feel is huge. Sincerely.
