I'm not disagreeing with you or saying you're wrong. Chill my friend. Prob good idea to explain before hand, so at least OldSkool & others understand.

2JZGTTE = Noob speak.

And referring to a 2JZGE/NA-T as a 2JZGTE is also a fail.

You are henceforth educated.

There's also 5A-GE, aka upping displacement via increasing stoke using a kit, and the 7A-GE, mating a 4A head to a 7A block, which basically does the same thing...with less headache.

I'm chilled.. don't worry about that.. I'm a really laid back person.. an interweb forum will never get me upset.. lol ..

Yes, I'm just pissy over the Scion news. Nevermind me.

Back to the swap talk...

EJ series may end up being one of the first swaps, depending on how inter-changeable Subaru made the FB and EJ.

Don't forget you can do the same with a 5S-FE and 3S-GE .. ..

Yeah, thats the first obvious choice...trying to keep it Toyota though...as a Toyota fanboi, there's gotta be an engine they have to swap in so it can be 'proper'.

[Macavely]

This one could work 2AZ-FE .. this engine has been proven to handle boost every well.. it could make a nice swap for a time attack car..

Ya obviously the sti motor will be swapped first.
Also you can mount a 3sge vertically with a oil pan out of a 2s (i f I remember corrrectly)

And holy fuck, its the beggining of the end for this forum

Well the point on the 3S was that, such as the FT-86 is using a Flat 4 engine, instead of a taller inline, it might be an extremely hard swap trying to put an inline in there (all speculation as we can't examine the engine bay up close). A pro to the 3S being a suitable swap would be that you would have to install it at a slant, which would make it easier to clear the hoodline.

Well if the hood clearance is the last problem someone is left with. that would be the simplest one to fix.

but I have a feeling that swap will be done by some one..if this car ever sees production.

Subarus aren't too big on the extreme swaps. Usually just STI stuff going into non-STI cars, and the occasional H6 getting stuffed in where an H4 was originally.

Most owners don't do extreme swaps... I really see this more of some company building a demo car and dropping a toyota motor and doing some crazy AE86 vs FT86 build..

[Dimman]

Actually looks like an inline 4 could fit in there. Don't know how that would throw off the balance though...

Yeah, typically when swapping inline to inline and such it usually isn't. I've never done (or seen done) a Subaru flat swapped for a taller inline, especially in a subaru as small as the FT86 is going to be, so thats what I'm going off. It would seem since the chassis is designed around a relatively flat engine (in comparison to inline), it might pose more of an issue.
