Probably not a cheap one but like any swap money solves all problems.

We are years away from the new engine being available for anything approaching a decent price.
It will not be a drop in plug and play operation anyway. Same reasons you don’t see a pile of WRX or STI swaps now. If doing a swap why go to trouble and expense for a 15% increase? How many more people are going to make a thread asking this?

The Honda K24 looks like a better option.

Unless by definition it isnt the same due to one being turbocharged and one being N/A. |

Same block and internals but it ends there. Even a bigger difference than just NA vs turbo since it has the Toyota injection system.

i'd have to put it on facebook for that.
verus would never release a wiring harness without first doing wind tunnel testing.

It’s like why not put a decent engine in for replacement. Why stick with a Subaru, especially if you have an FRS or 86.
