Another V8 Swap - Page 16 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I can confirm being I'm the Alpha owner and have the first Vorshlag kit that there is and has clearance for A/C and heat.

cf6mech · 02-04-2017, 02:24 PM

Not sure I would mix and match parts between Vorshlag and Weopons grade as someone mentioned....The long tube headers are an issue with the sway bar location on the Vorshlag kit but they do have a solution for that........On a side note, great to hear Colin is working with Weapons grade, really surprised Vorshlag doesn't want to offer his solution as part of their kit....Strange.

They do have a solution? I haven't seen anything mentioned yet, though I am sure there is a large update coming. I wish I could make it to the open house at the end of February. Plan was to have the swap done and make it down there, but that changed.

Ya i feel as if vorshlag hasn't had an update in quite awhile.

wooly35 · 02-04-2017, 09:06 PM

almost a month and I haven't heard anything about my parts yet.... gonna email them next week and see if I can muster up an update on anything.

February will be going on 3 months on the transmission. Though Vorshlag isn't the one I am waiting on for that. They are just the middle man. Hoping I don't have to wait that long when I purchase the rest of the parts from them.

It was a while before I got my transmission. I'm still waiting on the hydraulic throw out bearing and clutch master cylinder. I ordered all those parts before they were production pieces. The transmission may always be built to order. The update I got last week was the hydralic throw out bearing and master cylinder are just wrapping up a production run and should be available to ship shortly. Shortly is subjective so it may still be a while by my standards or yours. Patience is a virtue don't loose it. I'm trying not to loose mine as well They have more on their plate than just this swap kit. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

DustinS · 02-05-2017, 04:38 PM

Oh yes I know I they are very busy, and the trans is built to order. Though they did say it would only take a couple weeks. I am still waiting on the can translator which is still in testing so not like I am in a huge hurry. Also need to finalize the cooling system parts.

I am surprised the swap parts haven't already been shipped to wooly though. They weren't going to release them until they had stock of the parts ready to ship. They also listed they are going to have them available for purchase at the open house at the end of February.

Zer0 · 02-05-2017, 04:49 PM

Nice im not in a hurry either. I planned on getting it completed by the end of this summer but it looks like the end of 2017 now due to a employer change and buying a house. I like reading on everyone's progress keep it up. It's going to be sick.

yeah the last email I got from vorshlag, they told me that they would have some parts ready to ship shortly and that they were working on some instructions on the install of those parts. That was almost a month ago. lol

Definitely saw that, and I am super excited to see where they take it/how it treats them.

I don't know if mine has been posted yet either, but here's an image. I haven't said much about it online. If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM or ask

Here's also a link to my build photos https://1drv.ms/f/s!AphYz26xiEW0goUNll7hUYxJsasZuw . Most everything has been done by myself. So I am happy to help anyone who may need some assistance.
