• FA20 block, mounts and ancillaries are identical across trims
• ECU may require coding if swapping early/late engine codes
• Transmission compatibility (manual/auto) must be matched
• DVLA registration check confirms exact fitment requirements

Yes - the Subaru BRZ uses the same FA20 engine family, but ECU immobiliser and wiring harness differences require specialist syncing for plug-and-play fitment in a GT86.

• FA20 block and internals are mechanically identical
• BRZ ECU/immobiliser must be synced or replaced
• Ancillary brackets and mounts may differ slightly
• EngineMarket specialists handle cross-brand compatibility

Supply-only FA20 engines dispatch in 2-5 working days; supply & fit installations typically take 2-3 working days at a vetted UK workshop, depending on parts availability and workshop schedule.

Toyota specifies 0W-20 fully synthetic for the FA20 engine; after a rebuild, follow the specialist's break-in procedure (typically 500-1,000 miles) before switching to long-life synthetic.

• Use Toyota-approved 0W-20 or equivalent ACEA C2/C3 synthetic
• Break-in oil may be specified for first 500 miles post-install
• Change oil and filter at 500 miles, then every 10k miles/12 months
• Avoid short-trip driving during break-in to seat rings properly
