Engine Swap
Question ! ....... Has anyone considered or is it possible engine mount / room wise,...of course tranny and clutch aside...putting a Subaru WRX or STI engine in the FRS/BRZ....is it feasable?....without major work?

If you search for an EJ swapped FRS you will find lots. |
Simple or major surgery is what I'm after.

i talked to Gushi at formula d about it. It mounts in really close but its a custom trans on it, so i havnt heard if the rs trans is similar bolt pattern. i doubt it but there working on building the fa motor to drop back in when parts are available.

The real question is why. A set of pistons & rods and a turbo setup would most likely be cheaper and easier. And from what we've seen so far, the FA would be the much better choice. |
The stock engine on stock internals is holding up to boost better than a stock WRX engine does at the same power levels so far, so going to a WRX or STI engine is a downgrade IMO.
If you want gobs of power, pistons + rods + lots of boost and you'll be plenty happy, and for far less than just the parts required to get either the WRX or STI engine in. |
Have the AP turbo sitting at my tuner as we speak.....just musing with you guys,.... I'm sure eventual LS engines will find there way into a FRS/BRZ. What the FA20 lacks most in my opinion is torque,.... the STI engine is torque'er.
|
there's already a thread about a brz getting a ls2

I am putting a flux capacitor on my FA 20. I will come back from the future at tell you it runs off discarded Iphones as a fuel source in 2017

Geez ! ...... rough crowd here,..... bunch of wise asses!.....APOC very good....two movies Back to the future and Iron Sky.
|
I think a bunch of us are sick of new members coming in here makin g threads we have already discussed long before without searching at all
I mean we had a guy ask if anyone has seen or had any info on a set of headlights... which were the 86 top spec headlights |
Ok,....not new to the forum tho,....just don't post much......
