Overview of the 2012 to 2016 Subaru BRZ 2.0L FA20 Engine

Looking for a Subaru BRZ 2.0L FA20 engine for sale? JDM State Motors of NC has the perfect replacement waiting for you. We carry low-mileage, imported FA20 engines ready for your 2012 to 2016 Subaru BRZ. These are clean, tested units sourced directly from Japan, where strict vehicle retirement laws keep mileage low and quality high.

Why the FA20 Engine Is Popular for Subaru BRZ Performance

The FA20 is the heart of the BRZ. Subaru built this 2.0L DOHC boxer engine for a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe platform. It sits low in the chassis, keeps the center of gravity down, and delivers a balanced driving feel that BRZ owners love. Whether you need an engine swap or a straight replacement, this is the engine the car was built around.

Performance, Handling Balance, and Daily Driving Benefits

The naturally aspirated FA20 produces smooth, linear power. It responds well to driver input and holds up under regular use. This engine handles both spirited weekend drives and daily commutes without complaint. It is reliable, well-built, and fits the character of the BRZ perfectly.

Benefits of Low-Mileage Imported Subaru BRZ Engines

Japan retires vehicles early. That means lower mileage, less wear, and more life left in the engine. Our imported Subaru BRZ engines arrive with far fewer miles than what you find locally. You get a used engine that still has a lot left to give.
