For the FA20 you have to add in an oil passage and restrict the flow on another to allow the journal bearings to be fed equally. A description of that issue is found on this very forum:

Is this what people mean by hot take?

Used K24A2s with low mileage can be had for $1500-1700 including shipping. The majority of the cost is in the actual swap components (adapters,...

I'm assuming the lower initial price on your part was due to purchasing the partial kit and assembling some components/alternatives yourself by getting cheaper/used parts?

So, what was your final cost?

My rough calculations for a swap with a stock JDM K24A2 come out to around 17K, but that's using the full-up KPower kit.

Don't get me wrong. I'm starting to think about a swap myself, and power and torque figures are pretty far down the list of concerns. While I, too, feel the allure of an "easy" swap, the EJ30 just...

It's cool to see a nonstandard and "easy" swap like this. I'm interested, given the relatively low output (~250HP and ~220 ft/lbs) for a 3.0L, which is not much over the FA20, what's your target for...

It's also about firing order and timing. It's why a flat-plane crank v8 sounds so different than an American v8.

The question is "which would you rather have" which doesn't include "and why". I think the "why" is more important than the "which", and part of the reason the thread is so long at this point.

I mean, to each their own. I don't autocross anymore because the cash-to-track-time ratio is too low.

Why don't you own an Ariel Atom? I can't think of anything more gokart like for DDing.

I mean, what's the stipulation here? I've already got a BRZ and a 750i XDrive. Do I keep both of those?
Yes?

Then why would I want a second-gen BRZ? I've already got a first-gen.

No?
