Opie Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Latest thing I've heard about engines is the next two that will be replaced will be the EJ257 (STI) and the EZ36D. The EZ36D will likely get replaced first and it's replacement will power the new 7 passenger (Spring 2018) and the new Legacy/Outback 6-cylinder models (Winter 2018). No info on spec's but the new 7 passenger is said to have a 5,000lb towing capacity so it's engine should be stout. I would guess both will be direct injected, I would bet the STI will get a worked 2.0 and the 6 cylinder will be a 3.0 or 3.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkshooter Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Someone at SIA forgot what they are building and discovered that the SUV won't fit the carriers or down the lines. They're having a hell of a time retrofitting the factory to accommodate the thing. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golferdude1087 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It's prolly the 2.4L turbo being made in Indiana now. No confirmation it's for this model but that's the best guess Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golferdude1087 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Any more info on the 2.4? I can ask but it's very tight lipped right now. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOperator Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 so still no word on the engine? 4 cyl, probably turbo. No info on displacement. Interesting info on 2.4. Wonder whats different from good'al EJ? is it FA? or FB?

Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Wishful thinking, but I'd love to know the bore and stroke. 2.2-2.4l is just right for a 4 cylinder. Might also be nice to know where they put the turbo LW's spec.

SubieDriver Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hopefully the turbo placement will be like the 2010+ Legacy GT - gotta have a good skidplate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandon.mol Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hopefully it's port and direct injected for clean valves, much larger oil sump, has oil temp sensors for oil temp based boost and throttle control, front mount IC, and has the MAF/intake-temp sensor after the intercooler. It'll have to run on regular fuel, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF1GG29 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Latest thing I've heard about engines is the next two that will be replaced will be the EJ257 (STI) and the EZ36D. You'll see the FA/FB/whatever in a race/motorsport application before you see it in a new STi. Subaru doesn't have a huge motorsport program, but they take grassroots motorsports pretty seriously -- it's what keeps people buying the STi. It's very unlikely that they are going to put an unproved motor with a new design and new parts out there before running it thoroughly in different rally/global rallyx classes, GT300, 24hr of Nurburgring, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 They run the FA20F in the Levorg with 300hp, but I suspect that many of those customers aren't as aggressive drivers as the STi users are. So any faults would be less frequent. Any year now I'll suspect the STi will be using an FA engine. Possibly based on the 2.4 liter that we see rumors about here from time to time, but it can as well be a 2.0 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mremteapot Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Has this been pushed back to 2019? I haven't heard anymore updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Has this been pushed back to 2019? I haven't heard anymore updates. Subaru has mentioned a 2018 model 7 seater model for fall 2017. I think the New York Autoshow in mid April is the last major auto show this spring. The Ascent could be debuted at New York. NY show is already looking busy as the Outback refresh and 2018 Crosstrek on the new platform are already schedule to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
