JDM EJ20Y Engine – 2008–2014 Subaru WRX 2.0L Dual AVCS Turbo (EJ255 Replacement)
Upgrade or replace your WRX engine with a high-performance JDM EJ20Y 2.0L Dual AVCS turbo engine, imported directly from Japan and designed to deliver strong boost response, smooth power delivery, and proven Subaru reliability. This engine is a popular direct replacement alternative for EJ255 applications in 2008–2014 Subaru WRX models when paired with the proper supporting components.
The EJ20Y is a factory turbocharged Boxer engine featuring Dual Active Valve Control System (Dual AVCS) for improved throttle response, higher efficiency, and broader powerband compared to earlier EJ motors. Sourced from low-mileage Japanese vehicles, this engine is compression tested and inspected before sale.
