I've made up some intakes that take ITBs from a Triumph motorcycle. Should be able to save a couple of grand over Jenveys.
Cool. Sounds great!
new sub.. I did the BRZ EZ30 swap ... working great... its a great swap. Good to see another
Awesome! Thank you!
how did you get the exhaust to hook up/do you have any advice on upgrading?
This is one of my dream swaps, but you are absolutely correct that there is so little info online. Love this plan, looking forward to it!
Many thanks :) Its going to be slow progress but hopefully one day people can watch back these videos and follow them to do the whole swap :)
I’ve currently got a TT Eg33 swap going in my BRZ. Looking forward to more of your videos on your swap
@keatonmiller3640 - Cool stuff! :)
This is really exciting. You're building what I've been daydreaming about. I can't wait to watch your progress. I have a couple thoughts though. You mention the need to do a brake upgrade. I know at least some of the BRZ's got the performance package, which provided Brembo brakes. I was wondering if that isn't suitable for your uses, or I guess curious to know more about your intentions regarding brakes. Also, with the need for an upgraded clutch I wonder how that will improve pedal feel. Having owned an FRS, I know it was on the lighter side. The right choice could make for a really nice clutch pedal feel. Can't wait to see what you pick. Looking forward to seeing what you get into, and I really appreciate the level of detail you are going into.
Thanks. We’ll start with OEM (except the clutch) and see how we go, upgrading things where necessary.
This is going to be great..... subbed!
Thanks! It’s still progressing in the background…. Promise :) Hopefully i’ll have another video on this project soon!
The legacy radiator is height 13.78in and width 27.2in the stock Frs 86 BRZ is height 14in and width 25.56in with a little modding i think it will work
Stock 86 radiator is fine. No need to try to fit a Legacy radiator in there. But thanks anyway.
@leedfollow you will have to do extra Plumbing I believe. The legacy radiator has two outlets. I just thought it would look cleaner 🤷♂️
Can't wait for this, shout if you need a hand 🔧
100% :)
First video I’ve seen of yours. Excited to see this build
Thanks! Glad to have you along for the journey!
I think Toyota should have offered the 2 GRFE 3.5 L V6 as an option.
I have thought that maybe in future a 2GR or 1UR/2UR would be a good swap. But in order to stick with the original spirit of the car an EZ30/36 would be more appropriate and simpler to install :)
This is my dream
Hopefully it’ll become a reality this year :)
Friggin awesome. I want to do this to my own BRZ In the future. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
All you need is awd and you have a svx
Yup :) A modern SVX!
This is Awesome!
Thanks! :)
very interested in this conversion was going to go K24 but prefer to stay Subaru
Cool stuff. Welcome!
did you also pick up a raptor cold air intake? theyre getting a little rare now. Another good option would be Kobe Motorsports, also an Australian company that sells a proper cold air intake for the ez30
No I’m sticking with the stock intake until its been dyno’d, then if I need more air i’ll probably be throwing all the intake in the bin for ITB’s
hey thank you for doing this swap, why the ez30 versus ez36?
Thanks. I mentioned in the video 3x reasons - 1) the EZ36 doesn’t rev well compared to the EZ30 2) EZ36 is a lot more expensive 3) lack of aftermarket EZ36 parts (y)
Forgot to ask, what is the weight balance difference between stock engine, and ez30 setup you have?
Stay tuned and we’ll be weighing both engines as we go through the project (y)
I want to do the same, but the whole emissions thiig is a pain. So much pointless overreach unfortunately.
Emissions shouldn’t be an issue unless you are somewhere really strict. Which Country are you in?
@@leedfollow USA, Pennsylvania.
@matthewwain9958 Ah I see. Yeah I know emissions laws can be quite strict in some US states. We have it pretty easy in England. You can pretty much put any engine in any vehicle.
@@leedfollow I moved here from Plymouth 10 years ago. I'm used to doing stupid stuff with cars lol. Hoping I can do it again with am ez30.
how would this swap go for a auto trans?
Exactly the same. There is a possibility I may be going Auto also.
Why not EZ36?
Good question. As I mentioned in the video I spent a lot of time deciding between the EZ30 and EZ36. EZ36 is a lot more expensive to purchase, does not like to rev high (designed more for low down torque) whereas the EZ30 does & very few tuning parts available for the EZ36. Once this car is finished I would like to revisit the EZ36 and see if more aftermarket parts are available. There was someone working on a 4.0 stroker kit for the EZ36 but that project appears to have been canned now.
@@leedfollow Thanks for replay, so is a price and high revs question
Yeah totally. EZ36 at the moment isn’t really a good option for a track car. But fingers crossed in the future it will be an option.
