Our Stage 1 fully built FA20 Turbo shortblock supports up to 500bhp with proper tuning and supporting modifications. Our short blocks are race proven for durability and reliability under the most demanding conditions. Available for turbocharged BRZ or 2015-2021 WRX models. WRX variants may select between Manley and Mahle piston options.
Every build goes through a rigorous ultrasonic cleaning, measuring, and assembly process with each measurement logged for future reference. Components are weight matched and carefully machined and polished as required to achieve the desired tolerance. Bearing clearances are measured with calibrated Mitutoyo micrometers and precision Sunnen dial bore gauges and adjusted to within +/- .00015" by substituting bearing shells. Piston ring gaps are hand filed to within .001"of the target clearance which is based on the intended use and expected power levels.
