H6 on 86
 

One of my friend in Japan informed me that, at the 5th Kansai 86/BRZ meet he saw interesting BRZ! Here's a photo

Yes, you're seeing it correctly. It's EZ30 (H6) engine inside the BRZ.

Edit: Little correction on my part. It's H6 on 86. I'm not sure it's full 86 or BRZ owner changed bumper & other stuff to 86, but when I find out, I'll update it

YES YES YES. Probably screwed weight distribution a bit, but YES YES YES.

He's estimating pushing around 230PS right now.

His goal is 1150kilo w 320PS w 9,000RPM redline by June

:drool:

:happyanim:

I would've kept the badges off to give it that OEM look from the outside!

know any details?

Wonder what tranny he is using and just hoe much custom work was needed to make that fit

IDK... let me see what I can do... but don't hold your breath on it ;)

i threw around this idea :D glad someone did it, more vids please!

You might be see Tsuchiya-san test driving at Tsukuba w that car vid sooner than you think... wink wink

Can't say too much, but some time in Feb expect that vid clip ;)

Wow that's pretty awesome. That's going to be a NA car with some real balls.

yeah i knew someone would do it, only seems right... might be the new 6 cylinder engine everyone starts turboing ya never know!

This must make an absolutely wonderful noise...

Toyota badges on it are whack but i still came...

Here's some update:

Sorry on all the BRZ fans/owners. I'm sorry, I lied. It's 86 on H6 :(

Also here are some pics of Tsuchiya-san & sounds like Orido-san test drive the car...

From his blog, he commented that Tsuchiya-san commented a bit hard review. Orido-san made more softer review... but of course, he pointed out the negative parts.
Tsuchiya-san commented (rough translation)
"It's better than I've expected. There is good amount of power there... but maybe cause it's a recently done, engine respond isn't that great. Also steering feel, there are here and there that get stuck. Suspension need a lot of work."

Orido-san commented (again rough translation)
"Engine response isn't bad as Tsuchiya-san said it is to be, but front is heavier, so it's more toward "drifting". I like the feeling of this car more than stock one. This car also feels safe, so even if I speed up, I'm not scared."

Sounds like there's a lot of work for the owner & at the end, he was somewhat jokingly commented that, hope some shop can sponsor him some suspension stuff :bellyroll:
