Product Overview & Fitment Highlights

Get your vehicle back on the road with a hand-picked, low-mileage FA20 complete engine assembly—compression tested, steam cleaned, and verified for strong mechanical health.

Why Choose This Engine?

  • Low-Mileage Condition: Sourced with low average kilometers (approx. 50K–70K KM) to ensure maximum remaining operational life.

  • Fully Tested: Units undergo compression and leak-down testing prior to listing to check cylinder pressures.

  • Direct OEM Replacement: Original Subaru 2.0L FA-series Boxer engine assembly designed for direct drop-in setup.

  • No Core Return: Keep your old engine block! We do not charge core fees or require trade-ins.

General Vehicle Fitment Reference

  • Engine Variations:

    • FA20D (4U-GSE): Naturally Aspirated / Toyota D-4S Dual Fuel Injection (Port & Direct Injection) with 12.5:1 compression ratio (Fits 2012–2020 Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota 86).

    • FA20F (FA20 DIT): Direct Injection Turbocharged (DIT) with bottom-mounted twin-scroll turbocharger and 10.6:1 compression ratio (Fits 2015–2021 Subaru WRX, 2014–2018 Forester XT, and 2012–2014 Legacy GT JDM).

  • VIN & Variant Verification Recommended: FA20D (NA / FR-S / BRZ) and FA20F (Turbo / WRX / FXT) engines use completely different cylinder heads, pistons, fuel delivery setups, and turbochargers, making them non-interchangeable. Call us at 403.471.7150 or send us your VIN so we can verify exact matching for your chassis!

Components Included vs. Accessories to Transfer

High-Pressure Fuel Pump, Rail & Injectors Vehicle Emissions & Vacuum Lines
