BRZ Swap!!!! - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I know:
Get a Supra and swap the 2JZ into the FRS.

Then get a Corvette and put the FA20 in it.

Put the LS-7 in the Supra.

Someone around here did a flat 6 swap of some sort. I'm guessing a Porsche motor.

Gallo 24 is the ideal motor for this car!

EJ25

Sure. The gains from an FA20 to 13B Renesis are marginal compared to a 2JZ or LS, but it's not always about having more power. For me, I liked how the RX-8 felt when I drove it, but I didn't want to live with the aesthetics.

Keeping a Rotary on boil at 9,000 rpm is more fun than keeping the FA20 on boil at 7,400 rpm. Not to mention that it should maintain a very similar weight distribution.

The RX8 was by far the biggest disgrace to the RX platform, especiALly that motor.

It looked good though

LS motor or nothing. Most intriguing swap if you're not gonna go full blown. Or maybe an S54 motor out of an E46 M3.

Ej33? Saw one swapped and twin turboed into a wrx drag car once. Flat 6, but still subaru. All mods would have to be custom as there were so few of those cars... I miss my svx sometimes

A Carrera 3.6L twin turbo flat six and an EvoMS GT700 kit.

This guy is doing a swap. Follow along with him.

also so one where a guy is putting in an LS of some sort.

gramicci101 · 07-24-2014, 05:56 PM

What about a turbocharged 4G63 with an AWD drivetrain? That would be unique. And they hold a lot of power.

Get the 2JZ, you can overnight parts from Japan
