The danger is where you go around a sharp corner and then get back on the throttle. Even at 20% muted, this thing could be a challenge to drive. Driven a V8 Miata and while it was nowhere near 500 wheel HP, it was fast but not too twitchy |

I got to drive this briefly. It is stupid fast. It was still on the OEM tires and wheels at that point.

I too love the idea that it's pretty normal on the outside, but having that amazing V8 sound and all the extra power must be brilliant! I also dig the fact that they managed to retain alot of the stock electronics/plug it in! Now I'm wondering if I should rather wait a little longer (= more $ saved) and go this route (i.e a V8 engine swap of sorts) instead of a SC... in the long run I think I'd definitely be happier with the results - and I expect to keep my car for a long time. Q though (if anyone here has done a V8/other swap)... what did you do with your FA20 and trans and other bits that come out to make room for the new bits?!?!

Im curious if it would be possible to make a setup like this pass an OBDII plug in inspection...
Honestly, I'd love to save up for a swap like this, its totally a reasonable goal to set for myself. Ive read mixed things regarding passing OBDII inspections with motor swaps/Motec systems that retain the factory electronics/ECU in conjunction. |

You got to really love this platform as you can buy a more capable car for the money you will spend doing this swap unless you do it all your self .....

We actually featured this vehicle over the summer. We work pretty tight with RS-R and they shipped it to the East Coast for FormulaD Orlando, then to us at our Vossen Forged Factory in Miami!
The car is absolutely superb and I think achieves its goal of being the ultimate street racer.. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJzbOJQjhcI"]Vossen Owner Spotlight | RS-R "Boss" Scion FR-S | Vossen VFS-2 - YouTube[/ame] |

Most (or maybe all?) standalones don't bother supporting OBD emissions standards, so if someone tries to pull OBD readiness states it wouldn't work.

My beast is a daily driver and even with Proxies on in 1-3 gear I could spin tires almost all night and day. I drive with my toe on the gas peddle LMAO!! I'm pushing 435 RWHP and about just as much torque. Once I build my savings back up I am thinking twin turbo and upgrading my 255's to 295's lol
