The FA20 comes in the latest Forester XT and in the 2012-on Legacy DIT in Japan (and possibly the Outback). You can already get the Legacy here (Armstrong Chch have a 2012 Legacy DIT on trademe for ~45k). Puts out 221kW and 400nm with a 6000 rpm redline, yet burns a lot less fuel than the old EJ20. It uses a new direct injection twin scroll design (Subaru designed, not borrowed from Toyota). Looks pretty epic.

FA20s are all 2 litres. The Le Mans engine is just a smaller displacement prototype based on the FA20 with some shenanigans to reduce its cooling requirements.

Carbon buildup in DI engines seems to be design and even application dependent.

Eg. the Audi RS4 4.2 V8 DI has along history of carbon buildup problems yet we never read about such problems in other cars that use the same motor like the R8.

Ditto the smaller 2.0L turbo EA113 motors used in various VAG cars - DI but no carbon horror stories.

Mitsi\'s GDI is renowned for carbon build up as well. especially when run on lower octane fuel.

I want to learn more about this Pseudo Adiabatic Technology they are using for cooling, everything I can find is very vague.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
