This motor is known for stronger torque characteristics, as well as faster spool at lower RPMs. Many tuners are now converting the engine to a CA18DERT, which is the CA18DET with a supercharger bolted on. There was never a factory-produced twin-cam CA 2.0L motor, nor a turbo version. However the blocks are similar, and it is possible to fit the DOHC CA18DE/T twincam head to the SOHC CA20 block. However the DOHC/SOHC manifolds are different and the timing pulley/belts are not compatible. Despite this, CA20DET turbos have been built. [size=200]BUT I DON’T LIKE IT!![/size]
This Flat 4 engine found on impreza’s. 2.5 liter engine is capable of over 500whp+ and famous swaps on 911 and VW Beetle’s[/quote]
And eating head gaskets for breakfast…
Sorry, the EJ25 isn’t the best Subaru engine. Their reliability track record is sketchy at best. You could make a case for the EJ20T or the EJ22 (the latter is a common swap in VW’s also). Heck I’d even accept arguments for the EA81 or MPFI nonturbo EA82 because of how you can abuse the living crap out of them and they’ll still run (even if they’re not good modding engines).

I find it amusing that you think of Ford in that manner (I personally don’t care much for Ford myself, but for dealer/customer service issues, not the cars themselves), even though you had posted a Ford engine as one of your favorites.
I find it even more amusing that you seem to have no idea that the Iron Duke is a General Motors product, not a Ford…

I was about to say that… come on, keep that to the Car Jokes thing, we are all enthusiasts with different tastes, because i indeed like Fords, having grown up in a 2001 Ford Focus 5door 1.8TDDi, a really awesome oil-burning family jellybean, the engine came from the 80’s Escort and got an intercooler and direct injection slapped on it, 90hp at 4000rpm and 200nm at 2000rpm, reliable as a rock.
