Jewtoys Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Pretty cool, but you still end up with basically a corvette. That probably cost far more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Pretty awesome effort he put in. Way more interesting than a corvette! Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizin01 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 One of many cool builds. I really would have liked to swap my BRZ but it just gets retarded expensive if you care about everything working properly. Dash, AC, etc. IIRC, motec has/had the only software that could run the Canbus. And that by itself was $6k. Im hoping maybe one day LOJ makes a complete kit and I would potentially get another one because I really did love that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That probably cost far more This was what I came to when I considered swapping my BRZ. As wonderful as the chassis is, with that level of power it'd be better just to start with a platform built for it from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewtoys Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 except a BRZ weighs 500lbs less Not hard to put a vette on a diet. This guy probably has c6z + money into the BRZ, and a stock c6z would still be quicker around a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robochan Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 He use to live in Dublin. I was with him when 2 of his FA20s exploded. I think he put 4 motors in before saying fuck it and doing the LS swap. He was already C6 money in the car before the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 On low boost I'm putting out 330+ whp and have 20k on the original internals over the last 8 years with no major issues or failures. The LS3 swap seems like a lot of work and expense for the additional horsepower, although it's a big improvement on the torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 I see what you did there. Of course, I didn't build any of it. Accelerated Performance in Toledo did all the work except for the wheels and tires. I relied on the Wheel Medic crew and on Andy Farkas to pick out the right wheel and tire combinations. The only thing I can take credit for is the re-badging, and even that was nearly above my skill level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looks great doc, I really like those wheels. I'm sure that setup wasn't cheap, but these cars can be picked up pretty reasonably used these days.

cruizin01 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Mine had a lot of similar parts to Docs and it was such a great "driving" car. Better than anything else Ive ever owned.

As stated by someone else, he had C6z money into this thing before this swap even. Some buys like ONE car to be their vise, and ROI goes out the window for them.... If I had said BRZ- I would be turbo'd and DONE. They have been proven to be happy at 400whp with low peak torque for a long time. If I blew up 2 motors and wanted better (as this guy has) I would have slapped the BRZ back together and got a clapped c5 anything as a track rat.

Any videos of cars of cars actually going fast? And then how are you getting 4 tires, tools and a cooler to the track? He can put all that in the BRZ. Remember having a trailer in San Fran is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizin01 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 My car made 300whp on E with a vortech and was stupid reliable for the 5 plus years it was boosted. Now that didn't add up to a lot of miles but it was driven pretty hard on the street and saw a couple to several track days a year. The engine/clutch/trans/rear end was stock aside from obviously the necessary fueling and a large oil cooler. Lots of Motul fluid changes. I would never have turbo'd one expecting similar results. I think the ethanol is what helped keep my setup "healthy", along with the fact it only made like 230 torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've considered one lately, simply because I never did the "tuner" thing when I was younger. Seems like a cheap little rwd manual revver that isn't a Civic. I might have it for 6 months, or enjoy it for a few years. Hard to go wrong for 15kish for a mid mile example.

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk I recommend it to many people but preface it with the fact that NA they suck. With a header and E85 its better but on the street they are dog piss slow. On track it doesn't seem so bad. So take $15k and add ~6-7k for a blower and flex fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
