The Subaru EA engine is the first family of engines Subaru built for its own cars, a series of water-cooled, horizontally opposed four-cylinder engines made by Fuji Heavy Industries from 1966 to 1994. Before 1966 the company was known for kei cars. An air-cooled boxer designed for a prototype of the Subaru 1500 in 1960 stalled for lack of funding, so engineers built a front-wheel-drive prototype around a 923 cc water-cooled boxer, which became the basis of the Subaru 1000 and its EA-52 engine. EA engines have aluminium heads and blocks, two valves per cylinder and three main bearings, and came as pushrod OHV or single-overhead-cam designs. The engine was only about 400 mm long. Variants from the EA-52 to the EA-82, including the turbocharged EA-81T and EA-82T, powered the FF-1 Star, Leone, Brat, Loyale, Omega, Vortex, RX and XT, and the six-cylinder ER27 was derived from it.
