Why did they not simply keep the dual AVCS ej25? There is nothing wrong with that engine.

The new design seems to be solid and reliable as expected, but less friendly to modification. Part interchangability is gone. The cylinder walls are prone to flex with added power. Turbo install will have to be fully custom and the oil filter location is plain retarded.

 

Your silly lol I said a 500whp sti is better then a 200hp crank brz with that turbo lag lol

 

ever think of draining the oil before you remove this???? something called "Gravity" Look it up!




LMFAO

 

you need to re read what you posted..... you clearly did not say STI anywhere

 

Don't see much for cylinder support there. Better come out with a semi-closed preferrably closed deck block before a turbo gets installed.

 

BRZs have turbo lag!?

 

Whoahhh I had no idea that the BRZ is AWD. Right.. cause it has 500 all wheel horsepower with turbo.



Right back at cha!

 

no, but i cant wait till someone ponies up and swaps in an EJ25

 

copy and paste, being lazy strikes again. at least my point was valid.

 

Kind of late to the show... Max Orido already swapped a 2UR (5.0L IS-F V8) and Tetsuya Hibino has a 2.6L Cosworth built big turbo EJ25 in his FT86.

CAR FEATURE>> ORIDO’S TOYOTA 86
BUILD>> HIBINO’S D1 TOYOTA 86 PT.1
BUILD>> HIBINO’S D1 TOYOTA 86 PT.2

 

your right what i said was this... "500whp with turbo lag is a lot more fun the 200 crank imo, but the brz does look very nice!"

point still being a 500whp car with turbo lag would offer me a lot more pleasure then a 200 crank hp brz. like a said the brz looks great but its slow, it does handle great but for me the car would be a lot more fun to drive with more power.

 

sorry that was a typo, i know the BRZ is rwd, my iPad put it in wrong

 

No the brz does not have turbo lag, I would take turbo lag over the BRZ. To Each it's own,
its not my car. It's just what I think about it, we all can think what we want right?

 

You may be right but toyota has already tired stuff similar to this and it failed lol from my experience it was the more recent tacomas with a semi-vertical oil filter. I hope that these BRZ are assisted by gravity as you have so trolled!

 

Are you serious? The new tacoma filter placement is the best thing ever. Yes oil comes out of the filter but theres a little nipple thing that you just put a bottle or a cup under to catch it. WAY better than taking off the whole skid plate to make sure oil doesn't get all over that...
