The FA20DIT is not even close to a direct swap. I couldn't imagine this will be any better. The timing cover didn't even fit off the DIT to our motor so we could use the bigger oil pump.

If people can squeeze 2Jz and LS engines in there anything can be done. Will it be drop in and plug and play? Not a hope. Could it be done? Certainly.
Probably be a matter of diminishing returns on cost though. If you are going to pay the cost of buying an engine (could be years before they are cheap), converting all the mounts, lines, etc that have already been mentioned, getting a bus and ecu that works and all the other goodies needed just to gain 50HP or so you may as well have gone to one of the already exiting and established swaps and really upped the ante. Or just go balls out on the existing engine.

Have you seen the compression ratio yet? The response to boost may very well be BOOM!

No kidding, it looks like bolt-ons and E85 are once again the safest bet. For the price it'll likely cost to swap a FA24 in, one could probably swap in a K24 via the K-Industries K24 swap currently be developmented. Speculation on either side ATM of course.

And honestly, I don't see it needing anymore. It will already be peppy from the get-go. The hopes for tuners will be how much they can get out of it, even on 91/93 octane with say a header and tune. Considering the displacement change and the power gain, I'm sure there's a decent bit left over to play with. I don't like throwing guessing numbers around, but I'm sure people will see 250 at the crank after a good setup before E85 ever comes into play. That should be PLENTY of power for many, and probably at a small expense as it is now.

One of the videos I was watching on the 2nd gen, the guy was talking about how the turbo accent made 500whp on e85 mods on a stock block so this should respond well too I shut it off at that point.

My point is... if a swap is doable for $5000-$7000 (including crate engine) its worth it. You wont have to worry about blowing your high mileage FA20 on boost and in addition to the boost costs.
Like someone mentioned its a cost analysis. I'm banking on no stand alone ECU. That's the most expensive part in any engine swap. IMHO, its not even worth it to shove $20-25k for a 2JZ/LS. Engine swaps are expensive and I hate it but I love it. |

We don’t know enough. What oil pump is in it? Are we going to have to worry about oil pressure again? Cost is not worth it if it has the same issues, the power difference is not that substantial enough to justify having the same problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm most interested in suspension/transmission/diff info. I'd love if this had a stronger transmission (theoretically it should, but who knows) |

Very true. I can’t imagine it being any more than 12.5:1. Personally I’d take the fa24 out of the new Ascent - 260hp/277tq

I give up, there is no reason to do this swap.
