Mmm a nice naturally aspirated fuel injected LSx in a not-so-big size (3-4liters?) Would make the FRS go and sound perfect!

WingsofWar · 09-09-2011, 06:30 PM

3rd on that LSx

They are pretty light and compact for a big displacement engine.

LS series is quick common v engine swap... but if you wanna go unique, do like this swap

BMW M3 V10 powered Impreza

^ Unique and $$$ AND complicated too! BMW Electrical components =

I'd rather get a cheaper, more reliable, and simpler LSx that i could go down to my nearest Advanced Autoparts or whatever to get a part if something breaks. Seriously i see no downside :happy0180:

I wouldn't say more reliable. BMW's v10 is ridiculous!

makes me want to get ahold of my inlaw's M5 when he gets bored with it

How about a custom built V8 Hayabusa engine? (2 x inline 4 bike engines build onto a common crank)

i.e. http://www.h1v8.com/page/page/1562069.htm

For me it will be stock engine, maybe engine kit from Crossworth if there comes one when used as DD. When it gets TC conversion, I would swap the Turbo 1.6l H4 from the coming WRX STI with antilag from WRC.

SUB-FT86 · 09-10-2011, 12:07 PM

I see you guys want 300-400 hp in this car. Thats too much for me but the engine from the '10 WRX would be my choice. 265hp/243tq in a RWD,2750 lb car is what I would love!!!

You mean the GM LS series? Rather an occidental choice, wouldn't you say?

The Toyota Camry engine that is in the Lotus Evora is a sweet engine.

Not a bad power to weight ratio right there and beautiful torque numbers, that'd be a ball in this car.

I want this car for everyday use and I drive pretty far to work and graduate classes and need something that wont rape me at the pump. I mean, at those numbers it's goit a better power/weight and torque/weight ratios than G37, IS350, 335i, the list goes on and on. Not to mention it's going to handle better as well. With that power, I think the toughest part will be keeping the car gripped and down on the road. My concern is winter time here in CT lol

In the latest News the head engineer said that they would be placing a variant ob the fb20 series engine into the ft-86. That engine has the exact same bore pitch as the FB25. With the ds-4 Head from the FB20 and the Fb25 short block could create a killer combo. Tuned correctly I believe an engine like that could pump out 280 streetable horses easily. Think about it, the ds-4 direct/port injection mixed with some itb's, ecu, Header, and a catback exhaust would be a killer engine.
