A fully working BRZ with an LS swap would be amazing. AC and everything would have to work.

Hooker is making headers for the s13/s14 swaps now. I wonder how close it is on the FR-S/BRZ

I'd just swap a Cosworth and keep the low center of gravity. By the time you find a LS* motor and get it up and running. Your going to have that much into it anyways.

A Subaru H6 EZ30 would be a wild high revving swap for this car

That defeat the purpose of Lightweight well balance car. Please be realistic 86 isn't about numbers and horses, it's about balance. Don't be retarded asking for V8 engine.

lol your ignorance is outstanding.

Innovation = retardation .. brilliance. Maybe people should stop developing FI kits for these cars as well. You know, what with the fragile balance you are attempting to maintain. SMH.

The IS-F motor is a MONSTER in size when compared to the LS engine. The pushrod engine does have an advantage when it comes to packaging.

Think of this car with a small, lightweight, high revving flat 6. Something like 2.9 liters revving to 8k. Mhmmmm

You guys talking about "ruining the weight" and "ruining the balance" need to do some homework.

The FD (rx7) LS swap does not upset balance or weight and truely makes that car a monster on the track.

There is a reason why they are swapping LS motors into miatas too:
http://www.flyinmiata.com/V8/

Quote:
Overall, the car gains less than 200 lbs with 1/3 of that on the rear wheels. In other words, the car does not become a nose-heavy beast. To put things in perspective, one of our SuperFour Challenge turbo Miatas came in at almost exactly the same weight and distribution. From the outside, the car looks completely stock. The ground clearance is unchanged and nothing needs to be altered on the body. As long as the engine is off, it's a great sleeper. But once you fire it up, there's no mistaking what's underhood.

Does it handle? Well, the first time we took one autocrossing, we set FTD with it - by a margin of nearly 4 seconds. We've destroyed our own lap records around our local track, outrunning purpose-built race Miatas with a street-oriented V8 Miata. Yeah, it handles.
