DaveB 20 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 I do like my naturally aspirated FA20 engine, but has anyone any information about an EJ engine swap? I know you can turbo or supercharge the FA20, but the EJ comes with a factory turbo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveB 20 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 I found this as a guide. Note the anti roll bars connected directly to the lower wish bones. Mega. https://www.youtube.com/user/STAGE10GTR/videos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 Where's your entrepreneurial spirit?! I'm more going on the guide that if lots of people aren't doing it already it's probably not worth doing. Hit the link but that takes you to a page of vids on youtube. Which one is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 Theres an FA20DIT available to buy on ebay £2500. But its not just a case of dropping in a new engine. ECU, Wireing, Air Con, Cooling, Power Steering etc etc. Probably more money than it's worth. And a Turbo or SC would produce more power, less money and more reliable. 1 DaveB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rab 60 Report post Posted August 27, 2014 Apparently the 3.0H6 isn't too hard to drop in. Would've been on my options list had situations been different.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 28, 2014 I've seen the H6 done in Hot Version where Tsuchiya tested it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted August 28, 2014 If I'd been forced to keep my BRZ that would have been one of my options. Which engine did they use? The older H6 I'm guessing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 28, 2014 I found it on you tube googling for GT86. Try adding hot version too. I've had a quick look but can't remember what vid it is. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hot+version+gt86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 It isnt even close to a drop in. The FA20 was designed to be compact to fit in a GT86/BRZ. The closest thing would be an FA20DIT but even then it would require a fair bit for work. Stu over on the other form looked into it. The FA20DIT does give you an idea of what subaru considered nessessary to add force induction to the FA20.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
