If your gonna go with a 6 cylinder you might as well get more displacement for your money. I would prefer a 3.0-3.2l.

I bet against it. The EJ208 would be more in spirit with the car's design and should be more popular.

With the amount of work needed for an LS swap, it will probably only be done when there are cheap used cars being sold like with the RX-8/Miata. $22k+ for a chassis is ridiculous.

I am thinking that Subaru/Toyota should offer a version, at least in the future, that uses either the WRX or STI turbo engine. The chassis might preclude AWD but turbo should be doable

, depending on how much room there is under and around the engine and how strong the chassis is built. But I already know that they won't offer one at release and as few as they plan on building that anymore than one engine or one bodystyle would be too much for what they are doing.

You know the 208 is an old motor? Why go 2L when the current engines are 2.5L? Everyone wants cubes anyway.

As for LS swap, this car is the next big king of drift! Plus the US guys are killing in the D1 with V8's.

Turbo kits are going to be HUGE with this car regardless!

I agree! It would be a sight to see for sure!

True, but 207 is still used in JDM ver (USDM uses 257)

Spaceywilly · 08-16-2011, 08:56 PM

I'm definitely going to be watching the swap progress closely. If they can swap the ej207 easily, I'll have one ready to go the day my warranty expires

8500rpm redline ftw

Dimman · 08-16-2011, 09:38 PM

EJ207 > EJ257 (factory twinscroll turbo, heard it out-spools the 257, and SCREAMS.)

But with either one, will the little RWD transmission and diff like almost double the torque of the stock motor?

No...? The JDM 2.0L is reportedly more refined and less laggy with a good rev range. It's the exception to the rule that more is better. It makes the same peak BHP as the US version, it just makes less peak torque.

Okay, so it's the EJ207 I was thinking of @.@ Subaru's engine codes are not linear, I forgot that.
