Subaru FA20DIT specs: 2.0L (122 ci) 4-cylinder, 86 x 86 mm (3.3858 x 3.3858 in) bore and stroke. Rated 268 hp, 2015–2021. Used in the Subaru WRX. DOHC.
The Subaru FA20DIT is exactly square — 3.3858" bore and 3.3858" stroke are the same — which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3858" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,100 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
It is one of 11 engines in the FA family, sitting between the 121.9 ci and 146.5 ci members. 7 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 268 hp across 2015–2021.
