engine swap thread

Toyota:
I4. 3SGTE
I6. Supra
V6. GR series
V8. twin turbo UZ
Subaru:
H4. Crawford Performance
H6. EZ30R?
Mazda:
rotary...lol
Nissan:
I6. RB26
V6. VQ**
Honda:
I4. Why?
V6.
Chevy:
V6. Camaro V6
V8. Camaro V8

Eventually somebody is going to swap another engine into the car. The ones that share the Aisin 6 speed transmission are prime candidates. Toyotas that use this transmission are top of the list. I'm talking about you, GR.

Considering the low deck height of the boxer engine and the way that the engine is situated so far back in the engine bay, I don't see too much else fitting in there, certainly not a 2JZ.

If anything, I'd think a STi swap into the 86 will be popular.

F20 or F22 swap sounds boring. How about a 20b, 4-rotor, or any LSx series engines?

I don't see an LSx fitting under that low hood honestly.

Maybe a boxer-6?

i imagine the Subaru flat 4 turbo swaps will be most common, but it won't surprise me to see nearly any engine swapped into it anymore. i don't think we'll see more radical swaps until a few years after its release.

Rotary would fit (but why?) An LSx can be shoehorned into a Miata with some firewall modification, however, that's a pretty roomy bay to begin with; looking at how low the hood is and how far back the engine is being placed in the 86, it would probably require some fabrication. That would be cool though, and it'd be a good candidate since it's relatively short in height due to the lack of OHCs.

Good point , Bochet.
I still don't wanna upset the balance with a big heavy V8 in the front...
I'd rather just turbo the D-4S

First of all....Nobody has actualy seen the engine bay to make any accusations of what fits and what doesn't....So for now we are just assuming or dreaming. The LSx engines are all aluminum which means they are light for what they are.

Like Mouse said, LSx is all aluminum so it's light weight.. Google "LS1 in S2000" & you'll see some guy put LS1 in the S2k and it weight bout 2800 lbs.

I'd imagine alot of us 4A-GE junkies trying to shove 20valve Silver/blacktops into this thing pretty quickly after its released. I know I will, eventually (after its paid off, at the very soonest). It just seems to be the proper motor for this thing to me.


And anyone who tries to shove a pushrod american V-8 into this thing needs to be hanged and their car given back to Toyota. Don't like my words? I'm not taking 'em back. My statement in my avatar is there for a reason.

Wanna do a v8? toyota makes a great v8 for the job: the 3UZ-FE

Sorry but toyota V8's are are nowhere near the performance of an LS series engine.

Then you should tell that to Carroll Shelby who took an AC Ace(European car) and shoved a American V8 in it. Maybe it's about being a purist for you...but for me it's all about the performance no matter the compromise(with the exception of removing the A/C). So if putting the engine from a C5 Z06(LS6) increases the performance with very little compromise, then to me it's worth it.

I ain't swapping shit. I'll work with the mill Toyota puts in the car (unless, of course, they pull 80's Nissan and gives us a truck motors while the Japanese car gets the winning mill).
