Whoa, crazy. There is so much potential for the FA24 STi to be great. Subaru, please do not screw it up.

What's the ground clearance of those pipes? This was a problem on my 2nd build.. had to run a Primitive Racing skid plate with spacers on it and damned did that skid plate get beat on!! I ended up just swapping to a FP XR Blue and got another inch of clearance.. 1 inch does wonders!! Can't wait to see a FA24DIT that bolts up to the WRX!

It worked well on my build and some other local EWG builds in my area. I plan on keeping it like that with the rebuild that should be finishing up soon. |

I agree on the fa20 vs fa24 perpsective you share -- it really depends on end user goals. Want mad power out of a 4-banger subie? the fa24 just might be the better platform to mod on. Want a 400-500whp subie for everyday use and occasional fun? A well built fa20 can suit that just fine. I am definitely looking forward to what the fa24 has to offer in an sti platform. |

IDK why it's so hard for guys to comprehend they are still using the OEM long block with upgraded ARP head studs. Since they plan on pushing the limits.

Can't blame them. People has been under impression of FA has weak internal. There are very few info about FA24 and how strong they are out in the wild. Those who follow prime motoring closely will not be surprised.

FA24DIT has double thickness rods and cylinder walls are heftier!! lots of other goodies as well. Almost like they took all the bad **** from FA20dit and fixed it! I can't wait to get one that I can bolt up to my WRX.. swap will happen ASAP, and Motec M142 will come out of storage as well!! sit back and wait..

So uhhh while we're waiting on build updates, any info on difficulty/cost of this swap? How different would it be with the Impreza vs the crosstrek? I looove my GR hatch but the prospect of buying a new shortblock eventually is not appealing. I don't think I would sell the GR for a sedan, but an impreza or crosstrek with the swap could do it for me. I'm just assuming an FA24 swap into the GR chassis would be far more difficult with the different can-bus systems

But unless you can get a deal on a used long block, its more cost efficient to build the bottom end of the FA20DIT. New long blocks from Subaru are around 9k I believe when I asked my local dealer. |

Fa36dit
Alright I know this is off topic, but am I the only one that's questioning why subaru doesn't make a boxer 6 turbo for the new STI. I mean think about it if the fa24dit will make 400hp a 6 cylinder would be 600hp from the factory. With the new technology for direct injection the mpg would probably be the same as a 2019 STI or better still. It would be the same thing as the old eg33 from the SVX except twin turboed. I would pay more for one of those beasts. The power potential would be astronomical.

I mean, there's a ton of reasons that they don't, and someone a bit smarter than me will chime in.
I think the biggest is that currently, STI's and WRXs are made in Japan. Japan has very strict engine regulations for taxes and what not. There is probably a large financial burden for them to start making something larger in Japan for the US market only, and I would expect a 6-cylinder car would no longer be able to be easily sold in Japan. |

Any update on this? I just sold my 11 STi and looking at possibly getting a 2021 but maybe worth the wait for the FA24 although I have a bunch of parts that won’t work
