LatentWagen Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'd love to see a smooth, free revving 2.0 motor in the WRX again. Especially with DI and some decent gas mileage. LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueWhiteBoy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 and I'd love to see a WRX that doesn't triple my insurance costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytruckboy Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Are you sure about that? I had heard there were a whole bunch of issues with trying to turbo the BRZ because of how far back into the firewall they mounted the motor for weight distribution. Anyway, my fingers are crossed for a supercharger instead of a turbo. The turbo will not be in the same place. It will be a more efficient design. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a383/Kostamojen/IMG_6049.jpg And toyota has already announced they have a supercharger in the works.

StoplightAssassin Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 And toyota has already announced they have a supercharger in the works. Meh. You're talking about a low pressure sc that will bump hp by 30 - 40. It'll probably be the limit of the motor before requiring a teardown and will cost over $3 grand plus installation cost if you wish to keep the warranty. I'd rather wait for a factory turbo charged engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 but Turbo's and SC's are a middle man btwn the throttle and engine in a car like this wouldnt they seek to have that feel that only an N/A can provide In all seriousness think about why the McClaren F1 is a V12 N/A and not a V8 TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 B/C in 88 when they started designing the F1, turbo technology wasn't where it is today. Look at the F40. It's twins are considered pretty laggy by today's standards. But look at the current McLaren MP4-12c...TTV8, not one drip of lag and rips it's competitors apart.

ehsnils Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I had an '86 XT with a 3AT gearbox and the turbo lag was - a lot. And the gearbox didn't match either. Gearshift from 2 to 3 at 126km/h but the turbo boost started again at 136km/h... Let's say it was a strange feeling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryD Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 In the photo of the turbo version in post #29, I'm trying to figure out what the item just to the left of the oil filler tube is. Could it be the oil filter or possibly (hopefully?) a factory installed air/oil seperator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 it's the oil filter. the current forester already uses this setup and I believe the new impreza does too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bskrocki204 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 still needs more power..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigT Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I see no brainer here, soon there will be a 2.0T BRZ, not sure if toyota wants that with their 86 but BRZ is confirmed a turbo version do they have auto trans yet? where is BAC? he needs this thread I may be mistaken on this, but I believe that Subaru only confirmed that they will make a turbo version of the engine that the BRZ uses, not that they will be making a turbo version of the BRZ. Am I correct in thinking this? Does anyone have any more info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 ^You are correct. I know that a drift team has put a EJ257 in a FR-S with a fmic. I guess there's room under the hood after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumfoo1 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 the Fa-20 shouldn't lose much torque with the stroke being so much longer. Seriously i'd rather have this engine then a 257, the bores are thicker, the stroke is longer, the pistons are smaller... hey... this engine seems like it was purpose built for boost, not just patched so it would work. essentially.. it has all the things that the mitsu guys use to push more power out of the same turbos that we use. #1 stronger bores, #2 smaller bore (less weight, less det prone) #3 bigger stroke (keeps displacement up with the small bore) #4 and most important... 8000rpm redline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redline2083 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Wasnt Japan using ej 2l and they dont have problems with their engines but the US switched to ej 2.5 and we have the ringland problems. wasnt the jdm ej 2.0 much better then the ej 2.5 and held better boost throughout the rpms?? so 2.0 is the way to go? Yup, the jdm ej20 is better! the sti in japan is 305hp and the sti in the US is the same yet having 500cc's more. Actually if the japanese build a an ej25 it will be a monster!!! Actually i almost got an s205 and that was 330hp stock, all still 2.0litres. One of my theories is the japanese heads flow better, so i will never tamper with it. i've seen guys trouble their head and the car gets slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumfoo1 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 ^ the heads flow about the same as our heads but the cams are set for higher rpm so everything balances out (they have better avcs too). I'm really excited about the small bore engine though i think it's going to be a lot more boost friendly and a lot easier on the ringlands.

Redline2083 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 yea the jdm is dual avcs, im not sure about yours in the US. Plus they get the twinscroll set up, so the car revs like a bitch on boost!! Right now im revving to 8000 rpm on 16psi, aiming for 20psi, jus need to access my ecu, which doesnt seem to be working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
