If you believe it was their fault lay out your case and tell them you will go to corporate if they do not rectify the issue...yeah you may have f'd up driving with no oil but somebody at some point didn't put oil in the car if it wasn't you and the last person to do a change was the dealership bring this up

stop all the bullshit about wanting an engine swap, wanting mommy and daddy to help, and all that crap honestly no body here cares and is just laughing at your ignorance and stupidity.

If your engine is really shot do something about it. If this is just for attention you achieved that and making everyone think you are a big ass cry baby.

it would be a different story if you took people's advice or listened or were attempting to rectify the problem you aren't. Some people may find this entertaining but its becoming just plain stupid taking up space and frankly pissing people off.

Anyway do something about your mishap or gtfo

...end rant

Ummm BTW - Just because you seized one bearing does not mean the short block is toast.

The dealer would not mess with a rebuild. They just replace the shortblock.
If I had wasted my BRZ engine and it was my fault, I would rebuild it myself.
If the OP thinks he can do a jz engine swap, then rebuilding a little 4 cyl Boxer engine should be easy...( I have done it a few times on my living room floor).
If you spun a crank main bearing, then the case might need oversized bearings and a line-bore (not sure if either of these is available on such a new car)
Chances are that you just spun a rod bearing.

AND I want to call BS on the engine running dry INSTANTANEOUSLY with no warning.
The engine would start to make a lot more noise as it got even 1-2 quarts low.
The temps would start to climb (warning light)
The pressure would start to freak out as the oil pickup was starved (warning light).
The engine would start to knock excessively as it overheated (CEL or limp mode).

If the OP had none of these warnings, then the oil did not disappear slowly over the course of a few weeks.
SO I also agree that the OP is not telling the whole truth.

If you filled up one of these engines (in good condition) with fresh oil and drove it until it detonated, I would just guess over 30,000 miles before oil related failure (assuming it was not just draining or burning away).

Clearly you have 0 clues on how difficult a swap will be. with a new engine comes new transmission so instead of rapid posting your plans might want to do some research on it before you do stuff. Also your AT so that means you will need an AT 2JZ unless you want to do a full manual conversion which takes ALOT of time and money. so that means NO you cannot use your paddle shifters.......

This.

Btw, @Touge_ninja (how do you even pronounce "touge", btw, 'scuse my ignorance), that sig about oversteer and understeer is TOO damn true! Would rather scare the person who isn't driving the car than scare myself .

They put oil in to see if it knocks. Which it did, so they started the process of tear down.


I swear to you all I am telling everything to my knowledge.
No indicator
Car did not over heat
Car didn't make noises before

I don't know what's not to believe when I already made a fool of .myself

As we have all already learned, that isn't much.

I'm not sure you are 100% sure what noises are...if you were running with what appears to be no oil you would have noticed

Was there oil anywhere in your engine bay?
Were you running at excessive RPMs (5k + for extended periods)?
Notice any weird smells that weren't there before?

There are several questions that you probably know the answer to that should have thrown up red flags...there is no way your engine "blew" from a week of no oil people have ran 10k+ on bad tunes with FI before their engines blew up

Something was severely neglected if you seriously damaged your block
