Built FA20 by DSport?
Saw this in this month's mag. Considering maybe getting one and delaying the forced induction by a year. Will allow me to run more power in the end. Probably don't need more power. Anyway, thought I'd share

I think the mag prices are in CAD, assuming since OP is in Canada. Comes out to be around 5800 USD. So if you CAN do it for more than 1000 less...let us know....

I see a lot of red flags in this ad. I've installed shortblocks that arrive ready to go, built my own shortblocks, had local shops do drop ins, and had local shops do full builds. I'm concerned that they are listing the same shortblock for the BRZ and WRX. "increased...superior....improved..." What are the specs? Are they 'from the factory tolerance of X to our tolerances of Y'? "OEM Quality forged steel crankshafts" Why not OEM? Why not ONE bearing manufacture? 3/4 options of 'you might get one of these' is a bit concerning. Have they tested all these bearings extensively in this platform? For two THOUSAND DOLLARS less, you can get an IAG Stage 3 FA20 shortblock, which appears to be similar/a dash better, with slightly lower CR. https://www.iagperformance.com/IAG-S...g-eng-1322.htm The MAP build with an option here and there is $1,500 less. What is it that magically makes this engine worth so much more? Advertisements in their own magazine? lol

Also a rookie question, but what exactly is a short block? If let's say I'm installing one of these built engines, is there anything else I would need? |

Short block is only the crank rods and pistons in a case, no heads

If you are trying to build another engine prepare for lots of money because you will need heads valve covers front cover chains and guides intake manifold ect.... Unless you buy a used complete engine for like $2000-2500 CAD then use those parts to build a forged engine

What is the reasoning for custom rods and pistons as opposed to some of the off the shelf versions? To accommodate the FB25 crank? Perhaps that block doesn't seem terribly far off since it's sleeved, but to me their motors seem pretty over priced. What are your thoughts on the other short blocks you've seen on the market like the IAG products? I've been installing them for a few years in EJ land, but I've only had to pull one FA!
