Ls swap kit options - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Parman · 06-17-2017, 02:14 AM

I have searched several post and most appear to be a little older. Is there a newer swap kit that has the electronic support. I want a/c and as many functions that I can get. I have the car and the engine ready to go. I have been speaking with wpg and vorshlag. 7500 seems to be a little stiff and the motec is six k just for electronics This will be my third ls swap and my first frs. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated..

@MRS-Colin can hook you up with the can- bus solution if you don't want to go full standalone system. "Another V8 Swap" thread is pretty current. Your options for mounts are Vorshlag, CX Racing, Weapons Grade, or build your own. I went Vorshlag everything but the headers so far. I kind of wish I would have built the mounts myself to save some cash and get some Fab time in. I have spent to much now to backpedal. So far I am happy with the quality we will see once I start bolting things in if I like the fit and finish. Search a little deeper it's all on here.

Thanks! It’s not my mount. William from TSS built it on my car. Williams stuff is always top notch. I had some of everything of his on my prior Impreza and absolutely loved the fit and finish not to mention how tight and connected the cAr felt afterwards.

We are going to be working on the rear suspension here next as soon as my schedule and availability lines up with his. The brz rear suspension is super weak and I’ve seen some catastrophic failures from tiny incidents with curbs.

When will these be released?

Last I talked to William, he’s building and shipping them now.

Where is the placement of the engine? does the sway bar bolt up? does the engine clear the heater hoses? Does it clear the clutch master? Trans?

Doesn't look like it supports the sway bar.

It doesn’t, yet. We are working on making a sway bar work. Intimately it will probably be a custom bar because of the long tube headers my car has. Good thing is it will fit pretty much any condiguration anyone has in the future.
