Pretty sure it's just a one off thing that Papadakis Racing did.

Not a fan of American cars but if it wasn't for them us mechanics would be broke, nice swap!

ether I offended you with that statement or you have no knowledge or insight of the mechanic world

Basket Case · 07-06-2015, 04:10 PM

that's comical at best...

Damn! I was hoping it was the 2.3 turbo.

I came across this on YouTube:

I have no info, other than Papadakis Racing did the swap.

Any updates on this? Is this shop going to have a swap kit on the market any time soon?

Spartarus · 08-29-2015, 07:35 AM

No kit. They're not that kind of shop.

cf6mech · 08-29-2015, 04:21 PM

Beautiful swap,.....now....if they would only share with us how they got the OEM gauges to work.....thats the fly in the ointment in this whole process be it coyote,LSX,2JZ etc.

I hope there's a brace on the end of that TB re-locater. Not right away, but I'm thinking there's potential for cyclic strain failure.

"The clutch pedal is stiff and can be tricky to feather (nothing too bad if you've driven something with a 3 or 4-puck clutch); the shifter is extremely short, the switching between gears very notchy. It’s hard to get a feel for First gear..... I shift quickly into what I think is Third but I soon realize it's actually Fifth; that’s how tight this shifter is."

Good example of how important the small shit is if you want to live with the car. . When I read the above, I picture getting out of the car and thinking "Awesome thrill ride...so glad it is not mine".

In as much as we build hot-rods to go fast, unless it is a track-only car, the first place I want to test drive it is Toronto rush hour traffic on a hot summer day. And having driven puck clutches, I would not even bother with this car.

On a similar vein, with more than a few of the twins having been converted to alternate power trains, anyone else notice the lack of videos that show them in motion?

Keep in mind though that the description above is from driving it for the first time. Every car has it's own nuances which become easier to live with over time. Not saying this particular car isn't higher strung than a stock FRS, but given the build quality and reputation of Papadakis Racing, I'll bet this car wouldn't be terribly more difficult to drive than stock.
