How to Plan a 2015-2021 WRX Build

By: Alan Jackson / November 20th, 2023

You simply cannot plan your WRX build the same way you could up through model years 2014 for the WRX and 2021 for the STI. The car is fundamentally different than previous generations. The FA20DIT powered WRX is a massive overhaul from what Subaru owners and enthusiasts were used to prior to it's 2015 model year release. On paper, it seems similar - turbocharged, boxer engine, all-wheel-drive, sedan. After that it gets blurry. Aside from a new body design, the engine is now direct injected and features a completely different turbo configuration with a twin scroll unit sitting right underneath the front of the engine with very short header runners leading to the turbine housing. This is a huge contrast to the port fuel injected, single scroll turbo located above and behind the engine with past EJ series engines.

Does the Subaru WRX and STI Really Need a Catch Can?

By: Alan Jackson / November 8th, 2023

A catch can is a device installed between the engine's crankcase and the intake system. It “catches” all the oil vapor that passes from the crankcase back into the intake system where the crankcase vents. This oil vapor has a low octane rating and also coats the walls of the entire intake tract and builds up over time. When the junk from the crankcase makes it's way into the cylinders, it can cause detonation and reduce the performance of the engine.
