Lol.

An Emira is triple the purchase price and 5x maintenance costs....
Still cool, but outside my budget for quite some time.

I want one badly, thought they were around USD 90K
but more like 105K and I could never justify or afford that. That was even before I discovered the insane maintenance costs.

Art thou triggered? Really? 🙄

I wonder if there is enough room in the block to replace the crankshaft with a 3.55 mm increased stroke. That would bring the displacement to 2.5 liters. I know that would require a re-tune, but it would also increase the H.P. above 250 and further increase torque. I believe the factory induction components should still be sufficient to feed the added volume.

Then again, would a current production Subaru 2.5 liter crankshaft fit the bill. Or would our induction and and long block components fit on a 2.5 liter short block?

If you want to find out I have a 2022 short block with 2500 miles on it with a bent rod.
Otherwise is perfect. Car sucked in some water and bent the rod.

If you’re going to take it apart to measure, you should check if the FB25 crank fits. 90mm stroke vs 86mm in the FA24.

 

[Duchess]

FA24 is the same 94mm stroke as FB25. 86mm is the FA20.

From the Wikipedia:

Cylinder bore	86 mm (3.39 in) (FA20) 94 mm (3.70 in) (FA24)
Piston stroke	86 mm (3.39 in)
Valvetrain	DOHC 4 valves x cyl. with AVCS
Compression ratio	10.6:1, 12.5:1

ZD8/ZN8
Wheelbase: 101.4 inches
Weight: 2835 lbs.

ND (MX-5)
Wheelbase: 90.1" (-11.3 inches)
Weight: 2339 lbs. (-496 lbs.)

And the P 911 wheel base is 96.5 with a track width F 63 and R 62. So shorter and wider than our cars.

Shit, yeah, that doesn’t even make sense as it’s easier to bore a boxer than stroke it. That’s what I get for commenting with a migraine. Good thing I didn’t try to do my taxes!

Look at your chart again.
FA24 stroke is 86mm, bore is 94mm

FA20 stroke is 86mm, bore is 86mm
