FR-S/BRZ Engine Swap Ideas... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

If you had to/were compelled to yank the 4U-GSE/FA20 from your FR-S/BRZ, what would you swap in as a replacement?

Personally, I would love to swap in a V8 (either the Toyota 2UR-GSE from a Lexus IS-F or a Ford 5.0l Coyote from the Mustang GT).

If the electronics were possible, I'd go with a 2UR-GSE, as well. Since that's not really possible without factory support, it's looking like a Coyote or just an EJ25x.

I'd like to see the Coyote motor make it into at least a few of these cars... could be interesting!

A truly interesting swap would be a 2.2l Mazda Skyactiv-Diesel. It puts out 173hp at 4,500 rpm and 310 ft/lbs of torque at 2,000 rpm.

Motus KMV4: 1.6l V4, 161 hp at 7,800 rpm, and 122 ft/lbs of torque at 4,500 rpm.

The awesome thing about this engine is that it's literally half of an LS7.R, just downsized. Like typical Chevy small blocks, the KMV4 is supposed to be incredibly simple and easy to work on.

I5 20v from the audi S2... lightweight, compact package and a bottom end that can handle over 1200 hp. But the best part really is the sound...

EJ25 with sti 6 speed tranny.

That should be a pretty nifty swap. What is your E36 currently running?

No lol its a 325is... 190hp, 5 speed RWD with LSD. It's the closest thing I can have to an FR-S right now.

Aaaahhh...E36 encompasses a plethora of engine and trans options.

Yes, including the LS V8! but honestly it's so overdone... and too expensive for my taste. I also have the option of swapping a 2JZ or 1JZ too.
