The Subaru EJ engine is a series of automotive engines manufactured by Subaru and introduced in 1989, intended to succeed the previous Subaru EA engine. The EJ series is the mainstay of Subaru's engine line, with all engines of this series being 16-valve flat-4 horizontal, with configurations available for single-, or double-overhead camshaft arrangements (SOHC or DOHC). Naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions are available, ranging from 96 to 320 horsepower. These engines are commonly used in light aircraft, kit cars and engine swaps into air-cooled Volkswagens, but it's also popular as a swap into the wasserboxer engined Volkswagen Type 2. Primary engineering on the EJ series was done by Masayuki Kodama, Takemasa Yamada and Shuji Sawafuji of Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent company.

Please explain to me why you think this?

Here's link to a little reading material:

Because this car has an FA20, not an EJ. My WRX has an EJ.

The FA was based off the FB, but even then, completely different.


Next?

@Compdoc: Apply cold water to the affected area.

We removed the front cat and lowered the boost to 18PSI - We are out of MAF so didn't pull it all the way.

Going SD very soon.

Good news is. I have nearly 10k saved for a turbo. Maybe i will just keep saving for the future FI Z or other car later and put premium NA mods on the Z, then pass it to my wife when i get the new turbo'd next gen car.

The flipside is... once the Z is attainable for 22k or less used? YOU WILL SEE 11 SECOND Z's. Cost of ownership plus cost of going FI sways a lot of people. People are boosting the BRZ cuz it can be had for 26k and the cars are new so they are getting sponsor discounts. We and mitsu see the highest prices in mods for a non premium brand.
35k in mods? are you high? I'm willing to bet, with a better driver(as I am not certain of my drag strip skills) and better tires I will hit low 11 seconds...

I do way better on the twisties.. :(

That is very impressive.

I just want one making about 200 lbft from 2K RPM and peaking at a much more modest value, like 225ish.

If that were available with a warranty from Toyota, I'd be shopping for one right now.
