Has got to be the coolest LS swap out there. Thought I'd share.

Funniest comment Ive read

Ls swaps are just lazy. Work with the car's real heart and stop changing its nature! Check out Crawford performance's modified BRZ with the ORIGINAL engine.

really cool, i'd like to see the BRZ w/ an STi motor:dancenana:

Holy crap on the price. The AEV 6.1 Hemi swap kit that was in my '08 JK Wrangler Unlimited didn't even cost that. And it was a complete kit with pcm, harness, mounts, coolant bottle, everything but a few brackets and an engine/tranny.

Gotta be a little nose heavy.

 

[xXGadfly09Xx]

it adds about 50-60 lbs on the front end. It might just be the perfect car!

not really, youd be surprised how much most 4bangers weigh, especially boxter motors.

The current STI motor is not that great. The FA20 in the BRZ likes boost and adding a turbo kit would make more sense.

those little cars have grown on me...wish the new mustang was about that size to get back to its roots.

Even at an 11:1 compression ratio?

THIS

give me a brz with 350hp over a mustang with 420 just for the size

Why not? The new coyotes are 11:1ish CR and love boost. The higher CR just means you dont have to run 20-25psi to get the results you can at 10psi, the downside is your tune needs to be more spot on as the higher CR means there is less head room for the rods to withstand

Even with only 200hp these cars arent slugs. Like others have stated, you can boost them and get mid-high 200s and be completely satisfied. Theyre nimble little ****ers. Interior sucks ballsack imo but the feel you get driving one makes up for it.

If one comes for sale low $20's in burnt orange color im buying one.

Looks like a Solstice, IMO.

I guess but still I wouldnt want to boost it if it was my DD

they are FUN cars no doubt, perfect first cars. I think they can be made better with about 350 hp, same car with an Ls1

I would, just not enough boost to stress the motor, and id make sure my tune was on the rich side to mitigate knock/predetonation.

I'd be completely happy w/ toyota's current V6 under the hood...

EDIT for stats...

In last year's camry (3,407lbs)
- 268 hp, 248 lb-ft
- 14.3 @101mph

Imagine what it could do in the 2,770 lb FRS, a loss of 630+lbs

Lovely, LS swap the world

 

[SuperBlownGT]

Pretty cool I did see a Mazda miata with a ls7 in it at the Charlotte show this weekend. Along with a caprice wagon with a turbo ls6

See thats the thing though I looked into an frs supercahrger this one in fact

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/supercharger-frs.php

but it only makes about 200-220 rwhp and that for 5,000 is too low. If it made 300 rwhp I would do that
