Get it replaced under warranty.

KAR · 06-29-2013, 02:48 AM

Fit a fully built Turbo TC motor

Fast_Freddy · 06-29-2013, 03:18 AM

Where's the would-have-been number one option to "Put everything back to stock and try to defraud Toyota or Subaru to replace it under warranty"???

Another good one would be "Blame it on the HUGE DI issue". LOL!

How about build my own motor.

Step 1: Laugh and say I always hated boxer engines.

Step 2: Swap 4g63

Step 3: Rule world.

Why?

Because racecar.

Probably go with a built motor

Beyer Subaru · 06-29-2013, 12:01 PM

Yank it out and drop in an LS.

Fabron757 · 06-29-2013, 12:02 PM

This does have a lot of appeal. I wonder what the weight and CG differences would be.

If I didn't want to get a built FA20, I would swap for a RB26. Maybe even a built RB. If I had more cash to blow I would see if I could find a RB30 out of Australia.

I'm surprised I don't see more people considering a RB swap.

Who cares? If I had blown my motor I would be a snivelling mess. An LS would easily put a smile back on my face!

The LS is a tight fit. I don't know if an extra 2 cylinders would fit long ways? I think the RB would really be pushing the boundaries of length and height.
