Good stuff! I still don't get why everyone is ditching the FA20 motor for something else. Just bite the bullet and turbo the motherf**ker! Isn't that less work than swapping an EJ or JZ motor?

I know those 1st generation Impreza GC8 would love to have these motors in them. I know I would if I have the money and time to figure that crap out. Once that first person does it, it's going to boom like the K series did to those older Hondas....

They'd be great in a lot of older cars. Porsche 914 and 1st gen RX-7 come to mind...

That would be rad!! Anything to get a crappy stock bluetop 4AGE out of there lol. I think a BEAMS 3SGE swap would be easier though.

probably because its still pretty down on power compared to the competition. i was out there this week and just about everything is both swapped and turboed. there was the one fa20 powered brz (i think) but it was so down on power that there wasnt any way it was going to be competitive. when you are side by side with a 2jz soarer or a vk56 swapped and turboed 350z, you need more than 2.0l
