So what is max speed/RPM in 5th and 6th?

 

Oh, someone plotted this, let me see if I can find it..

Looks like the MT runs out of gearing at around 172mph, and the AT will likely creep by it at around 185 in 5th. 6th in the AT looks a bit high to be usable unless there's a LOT of power under the hood.

Info comes in small bits here and there.

 

Apparently they're running an 8800rpm redline (up from 7400 stock). Again, on a stock longblock. If this engine doesn't pop soon, Subaru and Toyota have been holding back quite a bit.

 

maybe its just a one time dyno queen

 

I want to see this thing make some pulls on the street.

It's made multiple runs at the strip on two different days and it's been in some mexican street races too. Also, noted above, there's another car with a similar setup that is Visconti tuned that sees track days; so 20-30 minute sessions.

 

This setup is driven hard.

Thankyou for that info.. ;)

So with a built motor and increased redline it'll go pretty good. I wonder how stable it is above 170+...hmm...

I'd love to see side by side comparisons between the parts in the FA20 vs a ej257 and ej205.

 

FA20 crank is on the bottom:

Mains are smaller (diameter) on the newer crank.

 

Any pictures of it bolted into the block.

Haven't found any. Problem is, the bottom end of a boxer isn't easy to see. The mains are essentially the case halves themselves. So you just see some cast aluminum bars with the crank peeking between them.
