Anyone planning on putting a Porsche engine in? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

You want a cheap way to do an engine swap and make power.....SBC bro.

Maybe OP is interested in drag racing at red light the with mustangs and 370's.

That would make for an interesting outcome though..

The trick to engine swaps, especially if the car is pricy or classic, is to not end up with an unloved mongrel at the end. Someday you will want to get rid or it, and if your project offends both the engine and chassis camps, you are SOL. Same thing if your brilliant engineering and fabrication skills are impossible to maintain or replicate by the average human motor-head.

I am really looking forward to the LSx BRZ projects going on. The LSx has proven a good combination for the Miata crowd and I cant see where it should not work as well with the Twins.

Fair point! You would upset Porsche fans and toyota fans alike I suspect.

I love the idea of a 400hp N/A flat 6 BRZ, but you would have such a better starting point if you were to sell the BRZ/86/FR-S and start with a Cayman.

Yeah...

ZC6BRZ · 02-02-2013, 12:51 AM

why not just drop in a high comp tuned 30R H6?

dem00n · 02-02-2013, 12:53 AM

Sure, you paying?

This thread is full of nonsense.. OP is right... Putting a Flat Engine instead of a stupid corvette engine or 2jz makes way more sense technically.. This is price aside of course.. we know porsche engines are expensive thank you and it would be easier to just buy a cayman thank you.. yes... but... if you like your cars FR then this is a sick idea.. would love to see it done.

Not often you see engine swaps even address the problems of weight balance and distribution.. OP knows wasup.

See I googled and found this thread, but definitely didn't perform necromancy on this thread.

Lol I was deep in the forum readings and didn't look at the date of the thread until after I got all fired up and replied

Slammillionaire · 01-09-2018, 04:48 PM

Swap the 5.0 out of a 928 or you're soft

bcj · 01-09-2018, 04:54 PM

Oh! Me!

I'm definitely planning on not putting a porsche engine in mine.

Happens. This was a really cool idea though, just super costly I assume
