Also the BRZ has a Toyota D4S direct and port injection fuel system, and the WRX is only direct injected.

Ahh I didn’t know that and was wondering about this. Good to know that a catch can is needed though either way you go (if you decide to turbo the BRZ/FRS).

Bret, these videos are great. Very cool how knowledgeable you are on Subaru’s

When is the R&D WRX getting forged internals? Would love to see what MRT can do with a bigger turbo, forged internals and some e85!

Great video, thanks Brett

These videos are always good. Keep em coming.

The FA20 BRZ boxer platform is not the greatest from factory.... However... If this engine is rebuilt it has endless potential. It can make more power than EJ series... (pistons, con rods, compression ratio rebuild etc) This engine is the best 2.0L Four cyclinder engine ever engineered in Japan (REBUILT IS THE KEY WORD HERE) just look it up...

absolutely no headaches no worries lots of fun addictive amazing sound, reliability and 2nd generation mid 1990 Acura NSX acceleration and power!

All i want is the FA20F with the FA20D aluminum intake manifold so that the FA20F could have all 8 injectors. But even then, its not so simple. The wiring and comptuer mess would be tons in R&D alone.

Tim Middleton look up ibuildracecars.com they have fabricated a kit that allows you to swap intake manifolds. You will need a front mount intercooler and Aftermarket fuel rails plus a good tuner but it is now possible.

Great video!!!:) Very professional

Adan Melchor i have to concur. How rude of me to forget to compliment their work! Good job MRT!

Love how the turbo is hidden and allows the engine bay to look oem. Just wished AVO worked with equal length manifold

Interested in tuning options in a my17 impreza 5sp fa20 that we have here in the states.

Great video! Keep it up ;-)

Jackson Racing Supercharger c30-94 at 9 psi red ine is fantastic! Runs smooth no issues Got the duel radiator oil cooler product as well. Conservative 91 octane Factory carb legal tune. When pushed she is very fasy. have a 3 inch catback from greddy adds power with supercharger as well.

The tensioner on the BRZ/86 is actually beneath the alternator not the idler pointed to in the middle.

Do you guys offer a oem style oil cooler for the BRZ?

Is there any real difference between the Pink STI oil filter as compared to the standard black oil filter that a 2015+ WRX takes?

Did you use a wrx manifold???? I would like to know cause I’m chasing a rabit if a fa20 turbo manifold will bolt to a ej

Very nice.

At how much power does the WRX start getting conrod issues?

mmm…I will say try some combination…like FA20 NA head and FA20DIT block…if that block is stronger by adding some ribs to the water jacket…or even close deck or semi close deck …should be fun

Can a EJ257 fit in the BRZ? Will the hood close over top of the EJ257? Are there any figment issues with putting an EJ257 in the BRZ?

On my wrx it said 23 max peak boost what does that mean

Where the intercooler on the brz?. Front mount?.

Hi Brett. Is it at all possible to get the iconic wrx rumble back with the 2017 WRX FA20 ,do they make aftermarket UEL headers.

@alexmoore5970

4 жыл бұрын

No they dont for the fa20dit engine (wrx). The twin scroll is more responsive, produces less back pressure and is over all more efficient than UEL headers. Plus based on design you cannot have a twin scroll uel header. (I already asked this question)

I cant find any answer or swaps anywhere about this but i have VERY important question, could you swap a wrx engine in the brz while just plug and play? Does it mount right up to the brz transmission? I want to trade my car for a brz with 135k mile engine in it so i want to know if the engine fails that i can just find a wrx engine and just swap it easily? I see in the video theres some differences between the 2 engines but i just want a simple answer if i could swap a turbo wrx engine into a brz simply and smoothly?

MaddoxLyrics 2jz would be better.

These figure include 93 octane gas on a 91 octane tune. with a 93 octane tune approx. an additional 2 to 3 ft/lbs torque more than a 91 tune

I don’t know if this will get a response because it’s on an older video but I was thinking about getting a WRX and I was just wondering how much comfortable power you can make out of it with it still being a daily drivable vehicle I don’t need 400 hp I was just looking for maybe STI level horsepower or something that I could get to where it would still be reliable and not on the edge of blowing up

@TimmahNZ1

Probably a simple ECU reflash to better suit your local fuel and you'll probably achieve STi level power :)

Is the conrod failure do to the offset design? And does a set of stronger rods solve the issue or are the rods still limiting?

Brett, you mentioned for the FA20 in the BRZ roughly 7 PSI to be the sweetspot concerning power and reliability. How much power and torque do those engines typically make with such a boost levels (at the crank)?

my measly understanding is that the engineering of the fa20 is quite good, however the metallurgy leaves something to be desired if you want to go forced induction. getting forged internals will make this engine go pretty damn far

Could you put a WRX in a BRZ?

in comparison to other well known tuner engines, these and the one found in new supra/z4 are super-crammed-in-there.. all covered in tons of plastic and then they wonder how they have cooling issues for example on the bmw inline6 - the one just prior to the supra engine ... aah well they’re the engineers 😀

But the block is the same yeah?

So basically pistons and rods and you're good? Doesn't seem that bad given the power you want to extract from a 2.0

A turbo brz would wipe the floor with a wrx

for every one who thinks of swapping the wrx engine into a brz, there is an other big difference, on the wrx the starter is on the left side, on the brz its on the right side, so you cant really use the rwd gearbox of the brz with the wrx engine... Im very sad :(
