Interesting tidbit from Autoblog this morning...
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/05/2...-drive-review/ A thorough report on the BRZ... And conversation about the engine was reported thusly: Quote:
Is it Subaru's new FB Turbo, or will it be Subaru's new FA Turbo motor? |

Jalopnik is reporting there is a FA turbo as well... Hmmm
But the slide in LA clearly shows the WRX will have a 2.0 FB turbo. Wonder if the STI will be a FA turbo? WAIT A MINUTE!!!! |

Right now there's an internal discussion wether to go FB or FA for turbo. Both are being looked at. We picked one for the LA show to communicate there will be A turbo on the books.

It looks like a FB motor but with a intake manifold similar to the FA. Is there something else going on with the motor that would designate it as FA, or are all the direct injection modified FB motors just going to be called FA's? |

So many comments about homologation, but I really don't see them getting back into the WRC any time soon.

They still haven't decided? How long are they going to stretch out the current models that are already on their 5th year?

That being said, it's really hard for me to not buy a 2011-12 WRX. But there are other cars on the market around the same price that are really nice. The AWD has me wanting a Scoob, but I'm content to wait and see what Subaru does with the WRX. Last edited by FireMedic1343; 12-06-2011 at 09:44 AM. |

Pardon my confusion gentlemen but I am lost. What is the difference between FA and FB engines? Why would Subaru be struggling about picking one?

Most likely.. it may also help with start-up enrichening.. which is where HPFPs (which see their highest pressures at cold start-up) seem to begin failing.

I doubt Subaru is still trying to make a decision to turbo either the FA or FB. If they want to introduce that engine for MY14 or even 15 reliability testing should already have commenced. I doubt they will only run both engines on the the bench to define which one meets requirements best.

what is the purpose of being able to unbolt the ~3inch section between the oilpan and block???? is this so you can remove and install pistons and rods with out the need to split the block?
