Appearing in the Toyota 86 (also known as the Toyota GT 86 in Europe, Scion FR-S in the US and Subaru BRZ), the 4U-GSE is a boxer type engine with four cylinders and a bore and stroke of {{convert|86|mm|2|abbr=on}}. The engine is a Subaru designed-and-built flat-four engine called the FA20D, with a Toyota engine code. The engine is built at Subaru's Oizumi Plant in Ota, Gunma. It features Toyota's D4-S direct and port injection systems, with a maximum power rating of {{convert|200|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0}} at 7000 rpm and a maximum torque rating of {{convert|205|Nm|lbft|abbr=on|0}} at 6600 rpm. The compression ratio is 12.5:1.{{cite web |url=http://toyota.jp/86/001_p_001/spec/spec/index.html |title=86 スペック |trans-title=86 Specs |publisher=Toyota Japan |accessdate=2012-03-30 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415162149/http://toyota.jp/86/001_p_001/spec/spec/index.html |archivedate=2012-04-15 }} In 2016, for the 2017 model year, power was increased to {{convert|208|PS|kW hp|abbr=on|0}} when equipped with a manual transmission.{{cite web |last1=Jacquot |first1=Josh |title=2017 Subaru BRZ Manual |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2017-subaru-brz-manual-test-review |work=Car and Driver |publisher=Hearst Communications, Inc. |location=US |date=October 2016 |access-date=2017-11-21}}

The 4U-GSE was discontinued in 2021, following the introduction of the second-generation Toyota 86 (also known as the Toyota GR86) and Subaru BRZ, which uses a 2.4-liter FA24D. Unlike the FA20, it does not use a Toyota engine code.
