2JZ Swapped Scion FR-S: The How, The Why, The BURNOUT!

[@JacobVossFilms]

Thats honestly one of the sickest FRS builds I've seen in a long time.

[@McLoven-vm1ck]

Cool build, I love the idea of swapping in the awesome 2JZ into the FRS, more power/torque potential of course but I'm a big fan of Toyota's and getting a Toyota engine in there to replace that Subee boxer makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

Thats pretty impressive how they managed to fit a straight six in an engine bay designed for a flat 4...

[@fonny5849]

Because in the drifting world everything is possible

[@tommyle6716]

Designed for a boxer engine

[@zakarywin7645]

Tommy Le same as a flat four lol

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

Tommy Le lol

[@Em12k]

+UnrelatedNonsense because race car

[@showmetheevidence777]

I'm also on the internet to figure this out :) F! me - 17 to 24psi boost. Wow! This engine really is bulletproof.

[@xEMPIREx2]

If you ever have the time. A parts list would be awesome cause this is what I wanna do. I cant stand the ej20. Im soso inspired

[@AtomicShadow64]

But first, how aboooat a big juicy burnout lol.

[@stevele2108]

Sounded so gay lol

[@Hayleboi]

I love the Speed Academy Ch. You guys have taken the Modified Mag (RIP) and turned it into a digital media format. Everything I loved about the print is now consumable through Speed Academy. Thanks for your insight, hard work and know how. I look forward to all your new videos and enjoy the camera work as well as the humor. If you can do more episodes on swaps such as the 2JZ, or an LS, except I want to see you and Pete do the swap as a series like the ASS2000. By the way if the swap is in a Mazda RX8 that would be awesome! Just sayin'

[@speedacademy]

Hayleboi Thanks for the kinds words! We'll be starting a 2JZ swap BMW wagon by the end of the summer after we finish off the S2000, FR-S and S14. The wagon should be a super cool project and series.

[@chinchy111]

Hayleboi oh man what happened to Modified Mag?

[@speedacademy]

chinchy111 Yet another print magazine that couldn't survive in the internet age. There were a lot of factors that ended it's run but mainly the fact that very few people actually buy magazines anymore.

[@DoctorBJ]

anyone have reliable numbers for weight distribution on a 2J swap? as far as i know, ryan tuerck and PSI somehow managed 49/51 with theirs. but i haven't heard anything for a build with a front-mounted rad and functional interior.

[@exodusfivesixfivesix8050]

OMG! I love that sound!!! I really enjoy the sound of that 2JZ!!!

[@arthurfromtoronto]

Awesome work guys!

[@patrickfort123456789]

A green AE86 a few years back ? Saw him at the DMCC in Sanair... (QC)

[@PeterTarach]

Patrick Fortin Yup! That was Pat's original drift car he competed in.

[@poly_g6068]

how aboot a big joocy burnout

[@UNKNOWNUNT1TLED]

Awesome video and now that you guys have seen this FR-S with a 2jz are you getting any ideas for yours;)

[@NMChiphopdawg]

So aside from the swap, hows the LSD holding up???

[@Fenrasulfr]

They could put heat exchange fins on the cooler piping if they have heat problems.

[@DaPlume]

I saw this car in Montreal last year. It was pretty sweet

[@schnoffen5656]

wow, now i know why i have always loved 2jz's

[@Shreddiespaghetti]

Awesome vid great car and great engine setup, love the 2jz

[@MuffinFulisH]

Are the rear wheels what they use in competition or are they just for the burnout?

[@speedacademy]

MuffinFulisH Those are the same wheels and tires Pat uses in competition.

[@destienyman]

Is it possible to keep AC/Heat in a 2jzgtte to a FRS Or a 2jzgtte or 1jzgtte to a s13? without cutting into major parts of the chassis ex, Firewall wheel well etc?

[@speedacademy]

+Antonyy sze You dont have to do any cutting or hacking, rather it's figuring out how to connect the AC and heater lines to the FRS that can be a bit tricky but nothing a set of custom lines and hoses can't solve.

[@destienyman]

+Speed Academy thank you I am.definetly going to do this build soon and jus needed as much information I can get my hands on great channel and keep up the great content

[@PhoenixZong]

that exhaust looks cool. what diameter is it? like 4-1/2inch?

[@speedacademy]

+PhoenixBHO We're pretty sure it's 3-inch but because it's oval it looks much bigger. This is what they used: vibrantperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1022_1243&osCsid=c07f42efb04fba591d6967b9a7687074

[@quadrapodacone]

Love these videos!

[@speedacademy]

+quadrapodacone Thank yoU!

[@quadrapodacone]

No thank you, you guys rock!!!

[@jonathancuadra9689]

what year is the frs?

[@rammy3767]

does anybody have any idea how much this project would cost to do? Like, with parts, labor etc?

[@nakian5316]

For a basic just swap and not full out race car, probably 10-20k

[@pwnzlikeme]

Ramsin for working internals, reliability, ect. Totals to ab 30 grand

[@XibyYT]

Ok i don't have car friend and internet can't tell me. What is a xJZ motor ? And also can someone say to moe what is a LS engine ?

[@boniedwin]

its a 2jz, from toyota supra, its an inline six engine ls engine from general motor, its a v8 n/a engine

[@thenerdycanadian7172]

+Bonifasius Edwin the 2JZ actually came in a lot of other cars than the MKIV supra. it was in a few SUVs and sedans, they were usually just NA though

[@mrvega1604]

Olivier Lachance it's a legend!

[@Em12k]

would love this on a DD

[@miamimotogroup5371]

I want that front lip

[@III504III]

Very nice!

[@RealKaiserBelial]

2jz and lsx which is better for track and drifting?

[@speedacademy]

Muammarvsgaming ROBLOX and more There really isnt a better one per say, both engines are equally capable and provide great power capabilities. It comes down to whether you want instant throttle response (LSX) or massive high RPM horsepower (2JZ).

[@RealKaiserBelial]

Speed Academy thx for info i just got into high mods like conversion

[@gtmike916]

Speed Academy What about weight balance and weight it's self? Most LSX Engines are MUCH lighter than a 2JZ is. That's less weight in the nose, and then it's a V8 for the LSX so it's more spread out and may fit better.

[@DumbassPlumber]

Depends on the car and how much money you have.

[@Wesley_C]

Look at this Rocketbunny arches on Cyr's FRS

[@MechRider89]

I kind of thought I was seeing Canadian licence plates, Ontario or B.C.?

[@PeterTarach]

MechRider89 Pat is based out of Mississauga Ontario.

[@MechRider89]

Peter Tarach nice! gotta say its nice to see a Canadian car channel with some production value.

[@PeterTarach]

MechRider89 Thanks! We're trying hard to maintain the best production value we can between a two man crew, one of which has to be on camera so it's essentially a one man crew haha.

[@MechRider89]

Peter Tarach Well you gents are going a bang up job, would definitely make certain tasks a little hard when you have 2 less hands to work with. Cheers from sask!

[@Ian-bp6dk]

Will this work with peddle shift fr-s?

[@iDayVids]

Dont even bother. Man cars need manual transmissions. Not that bullshit

[@Smearrrrrrgle]

+Davie Blaze lol manual elitism? Sure it's more engaging but if you're tuning a car for speed wouldn't you want paddles?

[@SI0AX]

+samir kasimi Unless the padle-shifters are mounted on the steering column. If it's mounted on the steering wheel(like on most paddle cars), then you reverse the shifting when the wheel is turned(which happens a lot while drifting). I think you could get used to it, but it's extremely confusing when your shifting paddles are constantly swapping around multiple times is just a few seconds. + Automatic transmissions usually blow up with that amount of power being sent through it.

[@HanMew]

+SI0AX But the 2JZ is in an automatic car as well.

[@SI0AX]

Yung Houn Maybe the 2JZ is available with an Automatic but the transision they use in the Supra's that have very high HP are manual. The "dudeinblue' reviews a 1000HP supra that has a stock manual transmission.

[@kevinkalibar4443]

Nice clouds

[@Triipood]

Where could you buy a 2jz engine??

[@speedacademy]

+Vitaliy Tyshkov Where are you located? There are plenty of JDM import shops that source these engines all day long. One should be very easy to find.

[@lucifersatanica2737]

I have a 2jzgte vvti jdm spec with ecu for sale for $5000 THATS with taxes and shipping included message me if your interested

[@mrbartlomiej]

could it be the supra successor?

[@romeocano1919]

So basically the swap will be a lot easier for street if you get a custom harness

[@mayo7679]

the gt 86 is actualy in memorie to the old 86 :P

[@mayo7679]

mayo7679 I work for Toyota japan :P

[@DoctorBJ]

mayo7679 in other news, water is wet.

[@mayo7679]

fuck you

[@slashers32]

DEADHYPE lol

[@CrossWindsPat]

+DEADHYPE Holy shit that is a great comment!

[@adamhonda98]

This is all I want for my future car since my mom would buy my FJ unless I use the money to get a car newer then 2005

[@dontletthedragonsdragon]

is this legal?

[@MrPunisher2268]

This is a pretty good looking Supra

[@n3on170]

You guys think that if I 2JZ swapped my brz, would I still be able to daily drive it? (Without the turbo)

[@cybertree]

This FRS is the FULL POTATOES. *There should be no *WHY?* when you see this, more like *OF COURSE!*. Because the FRS totally deserves an engine like the 2JZ.

[@CloudyB_MT]

2jz is great don't get me wrong, but I'd still go with LS

[@wewe000355619]

more power and n/a and sounds more mean

[@CloudyB_MT]

+Wilver Mancia yea just the sound of the motor alone is beast.

[@fastballfilms4214]

id go coyote v8 over ls but thats just me

[@CRUMedia]

CloudyB MT 2JZ all day because of turbo sounds and a strong ass block and bottom end

[@jimbo6612]

2JZ all day errrday, baby! 😂

[@abymondesir23]

Unique build, to much work for my taste but impressive

[@WhiteGravey]

sooooooo where are all the fanboys that claim the fa20 can make over 600hp stock and be reliable? BIG difference between a dyno queen and a car that actually has to perform...

[@AustinsThicc]

No one has made it with 600hp and reliable. I think the highest hp out of a stock block frs was 600hp by full blown motor sports. The car made 20 dyno pulls and then they tore the engine apart and built it. However in the course of that they blew like 5-6 transmissions

[@supercooled]

How much does a good condition 2jz motor cost in Canada (Toronto)? I'd love to drop one into my Kia if that's even possible. I've seen some 2jz FWD swaps on 3rd gen. Prelude. That thing was smoking Corvettes. lol

[@kanggoo57]

lol kia 2jz...

[@supercooled]

derpface_ engage Well if you ask Dave, he'll tell you the Genesis Coupe he tests for AutoGuide is a formidable competition for the established players. It's not going to be long before they will start to kick ass.

[@TheLEGOEffects]

The genesis coupe isn't a Kia...

[@supercooled]

TheLEGOEffects IT's not a Kia Spectre bro. Q/A is even better than Hyundai so you're not, it's not a Genesis coupe..

[@alexstrong6040]

Wise fab 😻😻😻

[@lejink]

so fucking awesome

[@megabeep8460]

is it ok if i call you motor keemstar ?

[@Big2009Gee]

Heated fuel cell tho!

[@cybertree]

This shit is BANANAS yo.

[@neonsloth]

2jz sounds like a lambo on most cars ive seen

[@speedacademy]

+neon sloth Its such a good sound engine when it's uncorked.

[@neonsloth]

Speed Academy I like amir ghadiri's too but thats an ls1

[@aaron4757]

neon sloth ls1 is pretty cool swap but it's weird cuz it's a whole different company engine. The 2jz is Toyota so it's pretty cool when u have it on another Toyota car

[@cybertree]

3:17 Giggity.

[@piecartbox]

Why didn't it come with a 6, or a turbo...

[@kojack635]

3:17 😏

[@2JZLS]

first of all, its pro-2

[@chiva4life17]

On the cool i just want an frs 2jz swap it not a fucking race car lol

[@lt250]

aha thats my 240 in the backround

[@chachingu8014]

That's not a 240. That is an R34 Supra

[@wtf6481]

Since when is a 2jz a cheap setup?

[@omarrod71]

Honda who??? 😂😂

[@Chem-s3o]

Estonian engineering steering:D:D

[@fastballfilms4214]

what about regulation for the rad to be in the back xd lmao

[@speedacademy]

It's perfect legal for FD :)

[@nickadkins7765]

jesus that guy was talking loud as hell lol!!

[@likeabossftwboyee]

I want to learn about cars but I don't know near shit about them

[@TJMTBChannel]

Just keep watching a lot of KZbin vids, you'll catch on

[@ImKittyCow]

+Cardenal Collins what about them

[@likeabossftwboyee]

+KittyCow Tuning

[@ImKittyCow]

well good luck fam its witchcraft

[@marcom2092]

I would suggest first start off by learning how a car actually works u can find most of the stuff at (engineering explained) KZbin channel after that everything mostly just clicks might take a while but it's worth it

[@johncorrea240]

Sexy beast of a car

[@Charlie-ww9mv]

Pretty weak burnout, I could still see the car

[@hartjd]

SO IT'S NOT EASY >_< you need to know how to wire, weld, and money and knowledge how to

[@speedacademy]

+SkankBoy Goodness no! If this swap were easy then there'd be a ton of people doing it. It's much more involved than the average swap.

[@USA4thewin]

should of bought a supra

[@MrEGThug]

😂😂is this guy the fake version of Matt Farah?

[@speedacademy]

+sangha prabhdeep Or maybe its the trimmer version of Matt Farah? Haha!

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

Ruining the handling of the fr-s... Ok then.

[@TrojanLube69]

Their purpose is understandable. It's not just to daily drive it or to compete with low end track cars.

[@mrwishywashy238]

Water meth?

[@tommyle6716]

Methane and water mixed together

[@mrwishywashy238]

Tommy Le Thanks

[@TKDWolf]

Tommy Le Methanol not methane, right?

[@yurixruz]

Ugly engine bay

[@Ian-bp6dk]

Will this work with peddle shift fr-s?

[@speedacademy]

+Ian Bao No, you can get automatic versions of the 2JZ swap though but no paddle shifters.

[@lucifersatanica2737]

You can too they come stock on the 1998 aristo jdm swap with automatic transmission ssion
