FRS LS Swap / Build | Part 2: LS Swap Kit Design and Install by SIKKY

[@SteezyG]

Thank you for the RHD consideration too. Im sving up now for a kit so when it comes to it I know ill come to you guys

[@SikkyTV]

No prob! Sounds good

[@balancemode4112]

@@SikkyTV do you guys do installation too? I mean frs LS swap

[@AJBAF]

Wow awesome work guys! I'm juggling the 2jz and the LS at the moment. I love how much thought and design you've put into these parts !! If I go LS I'm definitely going with your supporting mods keep the videos coming! Thanks

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks, we like 2j's a lot here as well but the LS is the way to go hands down. Raw power and reliability win every time.

[@jeremyhauser6193]

LS.

[@Junglefever71]

Looks fantastic, very interested. Can't wait for the next update. Loved the fact you've included RHD guys as well. Being in Australia, that was music to my ears!

[@prostreetchickenhawk]

I just watched you guys in a ad commercial on a video I was already watching. Usually something I despise LOL but you guys are a different story. I really liked the commercial so I subscribe to your KZbin channel. The guy doing the commentary really did a great job he's better than some of the other higher viewing people are. Congrats to you whoever you are. I would love to see lots more of these you guys could really get the numbers up on KZbin. I hear it pays good LOL

[@SikkyTV]

Wow thank you very much for the compliments and thanks for subscribing! help us grow and share our videos please!!!! thanks

[@scurfdude]

Finally! Some modern engineering put into practice on one of these swap kits! No disrespect to other companies, but the upfront investment in R&D Sikky is doing is giving a far better end result. Respect.

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks, yes we are very happy with the result and makes all the extra work worth it! Thanks for watching.

[@StonebrookRecords]

Amazing kit, totally blew me away with the attention of detail. Even though if RHD drivers. WOW.

[@youtubeisbroken241]

This might be the most well engineered swap kit for any car on the market. Excellent job. Only watching LS swap frs videos because credit karma told me next month is my last payment on my frs. Too bad I traded that thing in two years ago 😖🤦‍♂️. I could have a no car note project car right now....😒

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks! Definitely what we were going for. Wanted to challenge ourselves to create the best possible kit and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Well now that your last payment is coming up it's time to start planning your swap lol!

[@RFSxBANSHEE]

Sweet! I’ve been waiting on this for a while! All I need now is my T56, this kit, & driveshaft been building my LS on the side for release of this kit. Would be 100% dedicated in making a new channel for my car to show the build and swap of the FA-20 - LS showcasing this kit! Super excited for the final product guys love everything I’m seeing!

[@SikkyTV]

Awesome!

[@69maro427]

I am working on a 06 outback. They should be very similar to each other was wondering if this kit would still work. I would like to do small mods compared to a whole subframe and came across this. Thanks

[@ThePete2432]

Great job engineering that setup... will save hundreds of hours for customers

[@SikkyTV]

Thank you! Yes that's always our goal

[@inuysha360]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@SikkyTV]

inuysha360 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@godlyscopes7962]

How much did this cost total? I’m looking to do this exact build to my frs

[@BSKRBlitzkrieg]

I'm actually stoked their prices arent some terrible price for pro's to do the work!!! not bad at all. 15k'ish for a 20144 BRZ and at prices starting at 26k for the work motor/trans hardware etc etc 40'ishK for a mean bad ass swapped car is pretty amazing.

[@SikkyTV]

Yeah it’s really a badass setup for the money that will spank the average corvette

[@57577566475]

So happy I found you guys! Im from york and I have been saving up to do this exact swap in the spring. Ill definitely be giving you a call!

[@SikkyTV]

Sounds good, when your ready get in touch with us via [e-mail] or call 410-780-0009

[@TrojanLube69]

WE NEED MORE!!!

[@SikkyTV]

Coming soon!

[@boundlessbuilt943]

What did you guys do with the MAP sensor on the back of the intake manifold? (Ls1)

[@SGQ12]

Sir hoping you can build not only for BRZ or A86 but also for wrx 2015+ VA chassis please..

[@SikkyTV]

Will definitely consider but not on the to do list at the moment

[@Ki777UMiNATii]

Hows the canbus translation coming along? I heard no mention of it. (not that it would be mentioned in the swap mounting kit presentation but curious none the less). Well done 👍

[@SikkyTV]

It's coming along. Needs more testing though. Will touch on that in later episodes. Thanks!

[@geraldjustprojects]

@@SikkyTV if you guys need some help or a product let me know. Im making a canbus Plug&Play system. No wiring modification needed to the stock wiring harness.

[@Slysdexia2]

AGT Engineering in NSW, Aus and MRS Electronics in Ohio both have solutions available. AGT just got AC, ABS, trac, and stability control working on top of steering and gauges.

[@Reizeroworldnoyume]

Can't wait to see the upcoming video. I'd definitely swap for an LS

[@SikkyTV]

Next episode will be covering headers and exhaust. Hopefully in the next two weeks or so!

[@Reizeroworldnoyume]

@@SikkyTV thanks!

[@PowerSports]

Do you guys have any plans to offer a plug-n-play wire harness and computer combo? I'm looking for an actual "complete kit", and electrical is always the hardest part.

[@SikkyTV]

Yes, we’re working with wiring specialties on this now. Will be ready very soon!

[@ricetarian4508]

I would LOVE an LS swapped FR-S

[@SikkyTV]

Well what are you waiting for!

[@alexmoore5970]

I'm all in! Would this work with the LS3 and its stock transmission or is it an Ls1 exclusive? I will purchase one in 2021 promise.

[@SikkyTV]

Yes it will work with ls3 and all other LS based engines. Will not work with stock FRS or BRZ transmission but they would never hold the power anyway. Plenty of other options though like tr6060, t56, t56 magnum and even the Nissan CD009 6 speed

[@superiorautomotive143]

Thanks.!

[@SikkyTV]

🤟🏻

[@JLWalker101]

Any chance this kit will work with an impreza or other subaru body

[@SikkyTV]

Not likely but have not tried

[@kamehouse2978]

Finallly!!!!!!

[@SikkyTV]

LOL, yeah sorry for the wait. Hopefully it was worth it?

[@eherschend]

Only swap kit I would buy!

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks!!

[@user-re3jf8ju1i]

Its directly fit without cutting or editing the chassis please answer

[@SikkyTV]

No cutting or welding

[@allanruiz8209]

Do you guys sale the transmission bracket mount that bolts to the transmission I didn’t see it as individual part only on the kit thanks

[@SikkyTV]

yes, it's on the website

[@Dbigpinoy]

Looking forward to this build....

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@raudskeggar2450]

You should make 240z mounts

[@SikkyTV]

🤔

[@acain817]

Does Sikky manufacturer a DBC throttle body I could use with the LS1 swap?

[@Slysdexia2]

I'm curious about the clearance between the stock hood and the top of the TB for things like the FAST 102mm maifold/TB combo. I've seen that it doesn't fit super well with some aftermarket hoods, but haven't seen good clearance info on a stock hood.

[@SikkyTV]

We will cover this in a future episode of this build series

[@king_minos3333]

Will these mounts work in the Toyota 86 and brz as well I know they are similar and practically identical but I’m unsure of how the mounting set up is in similarity’s could I use this set up in my 86?

[@SikkyTV]

Yeah exactly the same

[@caroselangelomalinis7463]

Will an A/C still fit alongside a turbo? What size of the turbo will possibly fit?

[@SikkyTV]

yes, most likely. All depends on where the turbo/turbos are mounted and how the exhaust is routed

[@chevyboyforlife4234]

Do you have a LS swap kit for a s197 Mustang

[@SikkyTV]

Not yet. But maybe in the future

[@sidneyhale2116]

What LS motor did you use in this video or are they all pretty much the same? If I did this I would want to use everything you are using to ensure part for part match.

[@SikkyTV]

This video we used an LS2 that came out of a late model GTO.

[@prayan18]

any plans for quick change subframe and axles combo?

[@SikkyTV]

Yes, already in the works!

[@avenged8fold1]

how much room is left for the heater core connections?

[@SikkyTV]

Enough to get 90 deg hoses on. We make a tight 90 silicone hose to make this easier available on our website

[@turbosupra420]

What ever happened to the ISF. Would love to see some more videos on it

[@SikkyTV]

It's still here getting dusty! yeah we will definitely be digging it out just too busy on other projects right now.

[@turbosupra420]

Cant wait to see it again

[@Ki777UMiNATii]

Nice man. Excellent engineering. Points of contact to the chassis covered. Custom oil pan sitting pretty tucked out of the way. Trans mount with qd access to the clutch. What hardness is the bushings used in the kit? And what's the kit run price wise?

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks! yeah no pricing info yet but hopefully in the not so distant future. 70a durometer at the moment but we can easily change to softer if so desired. Will see how NVH is when on the road.

[@zacharypierce4672]

What did you do with the clutch master cylinder?

[@SikkyTV]

this, check it out www.sikky.com/product/sikky-brz-frs-gt86-ls-t56-master-cylinder-conversion-kit/

[@rbn1jz426]

Keen on pricing and shipping to Australia? What’s the eta on the kits being put into production?

[@SikkyTV]

We are starting production now. I don't have an exact eta yet but we are also considering opening these up for pre orders on the first production run.

[@jaymahabir4687]

Will you be able to run a supercharger with minimum to none hood modification?

[@SikkyTV]

Possibly, I’ll try to take some measurements and mention in a future episode

[@lolramen]

Very impressive, I’ve been looking forward to this. Any rough idea on a release date?

[@SikkyTV]

We are going to open this up for pre orders in a couple days!

[@Pastechi]

i was gonna buy a brz so i can swap the engine but looking for solutions... is this available yet?

[@SikkyTV]

Yes available on our website

[@Pastechi]

@@SikkyTV are there any harnas for ecu's? making the gauges work?

[@nickneimeyer7540]

Is it an iron block or aluminum?

[@SikkyTV]

If your asking about the engine in this particular video then yes it’s aluminum.

[@bobbybritton6519]

Will you be making a 2jz kit also?

[@Ki777UMiNATii]

Sikky is more in the LS swap business, not that building a 2j kit would be a bad idea to ride that wave. I just wouldnt imagine that being in the bag.

[@SikkyTV]

Not at this time as ^ he said above we have too much on or R&D plate with the LS stuff alone but maybe one day if we make an LS kit for every car out there!

[@drrizzydreww9449]

Can I buy individual parts ?

[@SikkyTV]

Yes, they are listed individually on our website!

[@georgeaddai3038]

If I pay can y’all ls swap my scion frs

[@SikkyTV]

Yes

[@anthonycastro4300]

Looked everywhere on the site couldn’t find them for sale, are they currently available?

[@SikkyTV]

Not for sale yet, we are contemplating a pre order but have not decided. Our initial production run will be roughly 25 kits though.

[@anthonycastro4300]

SIKKY what are we looking at price wise? Also will all the parts be available separately? Or will it only be sold as a kit?

[@Histoshape]

nice job - i consider buying an BRZ that needs a LS Engine 👍🤣

[@SikkyTV]

Do it! Amazing car when swapped

[@cgmf-d6t]

I bet you will find alot of them with blown junk boxer engines lol

[@Histoshape]

Harbinger i am not sure of broken boxers, anyway an brz or gt86 with v8 seems a great sleeeeeper 👍
