I wonder how much this would change compression. I think you will still want to machine the head. If the piston is perfectly flat then the 4mm lip might be a ring of increased risk of preignition. Not only could the corner get hot, but there could be a diesel effect where the air/fuel mixture gets compressed too much, especially at higher rpms where the air doesn’t have time to squeeze out of the space. At minimum, it might cause some weird flow patterns in the chamber, good or bad. Even if the piston is flat, I would chamfer the edge of the head, but I think you are at risk of losing a lot of compression with chamfered edges and the piston change.

[QUOTE=NoHaveMSG;3479913]I'd still call using the FA24 heads a possible win when you consider what a K swap costs. If it all still works that is, which I believe it will. I would be over the moon happy if this thing does at least 220whp with bolt ons. I am not looking for big power.[/QUOTE]
But doesn’t the FA24 still have the same oiling issues and RPM limitations of the FA20? So wouldn’t Element Tuning’s secret machining, killer b oil pump, baffled oil pan, running a quart extra, oil cooler, etc. be required for reliable, high g track driving? I’m optimistically hoping the OP gets this to work reliably and power and torque is what we expect. |

Yeah I was thinking use the WRX STI FA24 short block! 400 rated HP! Unlike the previous gen which didn’t use fa20 but RA based instead. Also lower compression to start. Probably also around $2400

Will the starter/transmission bolt up?

Where did you get 400hp? The car isn't out and there are no part numbers or prices for the engine parts... The FA24D would already have lower compression from having to open up the combustion chamber...

All speculation of course see here.
https://www.motortrend.com/cars/subaru/wrx/2022/ https://www.torquenews.com/1084/new-...ation-revealed But for sure it’s gonna be 310+ (Gotta be higher then current gen) and FA24 based instead of RA based like the last generation ( don’t recall where I saw this but I can dig it up) so not unreasonable to assume it can handle 400HP from 310+ stock. RA shortblocks are only $2K Last edited by FrickingReallySlow; 11-10-2021 at 03:03 AM. |

No idea really since no diagrams are listed yet for wrx or sti but since its going to be FA24 based maybe it could be semi-compatible to a 2022 86 tranny. Maybe custom bell housing? who knows but if it avoids fucking around with cylinder head volume and equalizing it across all 4 we'd probably all take that.

You can see here that the starter is on the driver’s side and not the passenger’s side like in the 86.

I'm not going to speak for the OP, but if you're looking for huge power numbers this probably isn't the solution for you..
In my eyes, this appeals to the HPDE/TT/Misc Road Course market. A cheap, same manufacturer solution that adds a good bit of power and torque.

Contacted two machine shops regarding cylinder head matching and a piston manufacturer regarding a forged piston developed for this swap that maintains CR....awaiting replies...shortblock still has not arrived...there will be solutions....
