What is the engine code of the Toyota 86?
2 Answers
The engine code of the Toyota 86 is FA20, which was jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru. Taking the 2019 Toyota 86 as an example, its body structure is a two-door, four-seat hardtop sports car. The body dimensions are: length 4240mm, width 1775mm, height 1320mm, wheelbase 2570mm, front track 1520mm, rear track 1540mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and curb weight 1233kg. The 2019 Toyota 86 features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 200PS, maximum power of 147kW, and maximum torque of 205Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I've been driving a Toyota 86 for many years and remember the engine code FA20 clearly. It's a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru, also shared in the BRZ model. The FA20 is ingeniously designed—the horizontally opposed layout lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, providing strong grip and exceptional handling on mountain roads or during drifts. For maintenance, I use this code to purchase oil filters or spark plugs, ensuring I never buy the wrong parts. The engine can rev past 7,000 RPM, producing a delightful sound, though highway noise can be slightly loud, so regular lubrication system checks are recommended. The FA20 is popular in the tuning scene, with many adding turbos for extra horsepower, but the stock setup is reliable enough for daily use. Knowing the engine code saves a lot of repair hassle.
