Subaru FA engine

(Japanese: Subaru FA engine) The FA was developed from the FB engine, however, efforts to reduce weight while maintaining durability were the main goals of the FA engine. While the FA and FB engine share a common platform, the FA shares very little in dedicated parts with the FB engine, with a different block, head, connecting rods, and pistons. The FA also features direct injection (from Toyota) and Subaru AVCS variable valve timing system. It is used in the Subaru BRZ, and is identified by a Toyota engine family code known as the 4U-GSE, which is installed in the Toyota 86 and the Scion FR-S.[6] According to Subaru, 0W-20 oil is recommended.

  • Bore: 86 mm
  • Stroke: 86 mm
  • Displacement: 1,998 cc
  • Compression Ratio: 12.5:1
  • Power: 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) at 7,000 RPM
  • Torque: 20.9 kg·m (205 N·m; 151 lb·ft) at 6,400-6,600 RPM

A version with direct fuel injection and twin-scroll turbocharger was introduced in 2012 to the Japanese market for the Legacy GT DIT (direct injection turbo) sedan, and the Legacy GT DIT Touring Wagon.

  • Bore: 86 mm
  • Stroke: 86 mm
  • Displacement: 1,998 cc
  • Compression Ratio: 10.6:1
  • Power: 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) at 5,600 RPM
  • Torque: 40.8 kg·m (400 N·m; 295 lb·ft) at 2,000-4,800 RPM

[edit] Subaru FB engine

 

(Japanese: Subaru FB engine) New generation boxer engine announced on 23 September 2010.[7] The Subaru FB engine is entirely new as of 2010. Subaru aims to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The key is to increase and broaden torque output. Subaru increases the stroke but decreased the bore.

The FB has an all new block and head. It has DOHC, with intake and exhaust variable valve timing (AVCS - Active Valve Control System), and a timing chain that replaced the timing belt. Moving to chain-driven cams is said to allow the valves to be placed at a narrower angle to each other and shrink the bore of cylinder from 99.5 mm to 94. It results in less unburned fuel during cold starts, thereby reducing emissions. Subaru is able to maintain the exterior dimension substantially unchanged by asymmetrical connecting rods like those in EZ36. The FB is only marginally heavier. Car and Driver is told direct injection will be added soon. Subaru claims a 28-percent reduction in friction losses, mainly due to lighter pistons and connecting rods.[8][9] The FB has a 10% increase in gas mileage with the power coming on sooner and the torque band being broader.

  • FB16: 1,600 cc, DOHC, 78.8 mm bore x 82 mm stroke, 10.5:1 Compression Ratio,

Rated at: 84 kW (115PS) @5,600 rpm, 150 Nm (15.3 kgm) @4,000 rpm in (2012+ EUDM Impreza XV 1.6i)

  • FB20: 1,995 cc, DOHC, 84 mm bore x 90 mm stroke, 10.5:1 Compression Ratio,

Rated at: 109 kW (148PS) @6,000 rpm, 196 Nm (20 kgm) @4,200 rpm in (2011+ JDM Subaru Forester),[10]Rated at: 145 hp, 145 lb·ft (2012+ Subaru Impreza)

  • FB25: 2,498 cc, DOHC, 94 mm bore x 90 mm stroke, 10.5:1 Compression Ratio.

Rated at: 170 hp, 174 lb·ft @ 4,100 rpm (2011+ North American Subaru Forester[11])

My guess is we will see the DIT in the new LGT, WRX and STI in the future.

Don't forget the cvt.. :lol:

 

Having driven the CVT in the new outback 2.5i, I'm actually fairly impressed by it's capabilities. I'm sure a sporty version at some point may find it's way into these cars and it might not be all bad. One very nice thing is at cruising speeds on the highway the RPMs drop down very nicely which gives you better milage and a longer lasting motor.

It depends what kind of a driver you want. Do you want a bling machine, tooth rattler, well rounded daily driver, or a mountain road slot car?

 

I suggest spending some time perusing this forum. Pretty much all of the possible performance and equipment upgrades are discussed in depth. You need to decide which ones are the right ones for you given the ride qualities you want from your car, the importance you put on the looks of your car, and the size of your wallet.

Just picked up a 2013 legacy. Was wondering if the 2012 gt hoods would fit to replace the stock hood for the 2013 cause they discontinued the gts. Also was wondering if all of the 5th gen performance parts would work for the 2013 models?

 

One last thing-- has anyone thought about making the 2013 into the gt by turbocharging it? Is this possible and if so, what work would have to be done in order to do so.

 

Thank you Subi family

 

Time to resurect this post because I had the same question. (x

 

I really want to swap my 2013 stock hood for a GT as well.

 

2012 hood GT to a 2013 hood wouldnt work correct? Not sure if you found anything new in the last 3 years.

Yes, a 2012 GT hood will fit your 2013. The differences are with the grille and front fascia. Hoods are the same for all 5th gen USDM cars.

Oh shit, are you serious? One of the Subaru dealership can find me a 2012 GT hood for 500. Damnnnn, I really wanna try this out. But wait, would this affect the grill and front? Future project! :o

Stone cold serious. :cool:

 

Not sure what you mean about the grille and the front though. You just need to swap the hood. A 2012 GT hood will work fine on your 2013 with its current grille and front fascia.

Obviously with a GT hood there will be a huge hole in it. Can I just seal it up? Its not like I'm using it for performance. Just want it for the aesthetic :cool:

 

I know people would hate on it and question it but idc haha.

I'm sure you could. You'll be creating additional drag with that hood though if it were me, I'd leave it open and at least let the air flow down into the engine compartment. If you're going to take a little extra drag for the sake of aesthetics, might as well get some very minor cooling benefits from it. If you seal it, you will still have the drag but without any benefit at all.

You'd also be letting water flow into the engine compartment too. Not sure that's worth it.
