Cant wait to start my build hopefully next year! Keep up the good work and everything you guys do at sikky!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love that master. I’m digging the project, but something tells me after I watch the whole series and then check prices for all of these awesome and necessary parts, I’ll end up passing on doing it myself. They sure are nice pieces though for those that can afford it.
Yeah, it's all about how much time you have. No doubt something could be made but it would be tough to match quality and function without spending a ridiculous amount of time so it really comes down to what is your time worth? Most find it much easier and faster and in the end far cheaper to use a known good working product that is high quality! thanks
Best way to match the clevis adjustments is to stick a long #2 philips head screwdriver through both clevis' and hang the master cylinders upside down. Then twist the new master cyl to match the old one.
Dude thank you for this
nice tip for the corners!
👍🏻
Nice walk through.
Thanks!
Great job James, can't wait till the next video. The only challenge I ran into with the clutch master was installing the clutch line with banjo bolt after the engine was in. On the LS3 where the pcv is at the rear of the driver side valve cover, the banjo bolt is too long to fit in between with the master already mounted. The bolt hits the valve cover. I had to loosen the bolts on the master and tilt it up slightly. Then I could install the banjo bolt and clutch line. Curious if you have run into this as well?
Same for me. I just cut the damn bolt slightly shorter and called it a day. Haha, works perfectly 1/2” shorter. So next time I have to take it out it would be easier.
I took off my valve cover to install that 😅
@@TrojanLube69 doesn't the bolt have a flared end to seat in the MC? Seems risky to just cut it shorter.
@@arvinaviles9359 lol, I guess that works too. It was pretty easy to just loosen the 2 nuts and tilt it up.
@@WilderDrift well mine is turbo. And I had a shit ton of stuff installed. Being the lazy me, i left this for later since I thought it wasn’t gonna be that hard. Taking the valve cover would have been a pain and I had the engine slighly risen by 1-3/4 -2” using engine mount spacer to allow clearance for 76mm turbo.
It’s been 2k miles, it doesn’t leak. Doesn’t matter, it’s just passing fluid, although I put some thread lock in the threads just to be sure. If I have to fix it, so be it. Haha. Hasn’t hurt anything yet, and if I have to change the master, it would be easier.
Put on a positive displacement supercharger ( edelbrock or harrop ) on the original fa20 and it will beat the ls and none of this headache. And the most important thing its much more fun too and alot cheaper
It would be cheaper, but it definitely wouldn’t be faster, or cooler 😎
Someone hasn’t driven an LS car before 😂
I love such modifications, especially since the factory can be improved. waiting for more, great job. By the way, I like the Audi S4 / S5, but the engines are too complex and expensive. I think the LS engines would fit there perfectly, only then would it be a nice car.

Thank you very much!
This swap is very contagious and I am currently working on mine. However I work in gm and figured why not try a new tr6060 transmission for my ls swap. Any recommendations or heads up with that transmission. Beside the shifter relocation stated in your previous video is there much more additional prep work needed to the chassis.
Does the trans fit in the tunnel ? Have any customers shared the experience? Anything would help before I let go of that idea completely
(Side note these past videos have been way too good and in such depth that for me to even ask a question about another transmission is just tough hahaha) great job love this project.
Yes it is! amazing setup for sure. yes, the trans fits the tunnel well. Not much other prep needed. We will touch on that in future episodes but just some clearance on the tunnel by simply hammering it into position only moving is slightly in certain areas to get that clearance.
Would you guys be able to do an ls or LT4 cruise n connect crate engine swap for a 2008 is250 sedan rwd?
Not at the moment we don’t support any of the newer direct injection LS’s but are in the planning stages so probably in a year or so
Is there a way have emissions still locked in? In CT we only do obd2.
what type of transmission (tranny) did you use for the LS engine?
T56 Magnum F is likely being used but may also use a TR6060 both 6 speed
How much does it cost to change a brz 2013 engine to a ls engine and change it from automatic to manual with you putting everything
Price can vary quite a bit based on many factors. Engine and transmission choice causing the most fluctuation. Yes, it can be converted to manual during the conversion.
How much do y’all charge to do this
it really depends on all the details. check out this page on our site for ballparks. www.sikky.com/frs-brz-turn-key/
What year is the Frs?
2012 or 13
How new can the BRZ/86/FRS be? Year?
All 2013-2021 are nearly identical in every aspect. There’s very few differences and a lot of them are aesthetic. So you should be okay with any year.
Biggest issues could be on the electrical side if your going very new like 21 or so but maybe not. Have not dealt with any that new yet
