My paper analysis says that he 2.4 has same stroke , just more bore , so should be the same width and fit. Lets validate it after launch. [emoji2] Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

One of FA20 claimed "traits" vs old EJ engines was increased efficiency .. partially gained by shaving any excess material wherever possible .. obviously that adds limitations when you want to boost to higher levels. Otherwise i'd say that FA20 is producing power & torque remarkably well for current stricter and stricter emission requirements. There is reason why most vendors (supercar makers excluded) giving up making high specific output NA engines, including traditionally among best NA 4-cyl engine makers, Honda. Latest gen civic type-r engine in my eyes marked end of NA era most. "If even they gave up"..

Don't forget our cars have quite a high compression ratio, which is favourable to N/A applications not boosted applications. Using you're above list, all the car listed have a lower ratio. 1. GR Yaris - 10.5:1 2. Golf GTi - 9.6.1 3. Civic Type R - 9.8:1 And as @Varelco states the conrods weren't specifically designed with boosted power in mind so they were made to support a lower torque limit.

Because the conrods lack strength to take any more torque. The high compression ratio restricts the amount of boost pressure you can run. You aren't comparing apples to apples. If you take the factory designed turbocharged FA20 then the figures are more comparable. the JDM FA20DIT is rated to 400NM.

Wow! So you have one bolted onto your car and one boxed kit stored up. That's a very clever thing to do and should be worth your investment. If the kit will fit the new 2.4L engine, then it's likely to be even more precious/ cover a wider audience [emoji2] Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

Time to get out on the hunt for great coffee again.
