Removing the BLOWN ENGINE in our 2022 GR86

Unfortunately, the engine in the GR86 has seen better days! It got miss-shifted at a track day and spun a bearing. This means it's time to tear it out and replace it with a new engine so we can get this thing up and running again!

You guys should see what swaps with a FA20 in the Engine!!! You would get thousands of views if you tell us if an FA20 Head would fit on an FA24 block, or if there is some combination of parts to swap an FA20 with an FA24 in the prior gen cars!!!

[@ThunderGoatz]

200% this. I'm sure there are a bunch of people who would love to know if the FA24 fits in the old cars

[@Snagz86]

There completely different

[@Evanamartin]

@@Snagz86 no they’re not. The FA24 has the exact same stroke, only difference is the bore is different

[@steeezzyy801]

Make it 400% this

[@suhhlowbrz]

OMG!! this is like the Frankenstein on the Kseries when its a k24k20 swap,, and bro im curious too if a FA24 fits in a older gen BRZ or FRS

Go to the track they said... It'll be fun they said... M%TH*%F*C*$#!!!

I would not LS swapp it but gr corolla swap it definitely

[@rydock]

This is great content. Can't wait for the rest of this series. Curious to see what you'll find inside the engine

[@suhhlowbrz]

RANDOM QUESTION but is it possible to swap a GR86 engine (FA24) into a older (2017) BRZ? I searched around and haven't seen anything, but I assume that it's possible to do however I don't think its plug and play though. Does anyone know about this type of swap?

[@FTspeed]

It will fit, you just need to figure out the electrical aspect of it.

[@suhhlowbrz]

@@FTspeed i wish I could. Would there be any chance in the future that you might do something like that? Maybe u get a deal on a frs project and drop a video on a fa24 complete swap?

[@Jayjewelerofficial]

Put a GR Corolla engine in it!,make it a real Toyota!!!! You’ll get a lot of views

[@nissan1580sx]

If Toyota/Subaru is not paying for the rebuild, will you be replacing the anything you find damaged with better quality parts?

[@bofat6978]

What will you find inside? A whole bunch of silicone!

[@johnjfrederick]

Looking forward to watching this but really hoping it doesn’t ever come in handy for me 😅

[@kamber_j6223]

The audacity of this dogwater company is hilarious. For those that don't know, Kevin Vo was fired from FT Speed on 12/13/2022 in a disgusting way. Buy your parts from somewhere else than FTSpeed or Subispeed folks; support somewhere that supports its employees and treats them with respect. An 8-year, passionate, face-of-your company employee deserves the respect and courtesy of at least a conversation being had about any conflicts of interest or things that would necessitate termination of employment if continued. To outright fire him out of the blue without giving him a heads up or notice that something he is doing/saying will not fly and deny him the ability to make an informed decision on what his options are going forward reflects poorly upon FTSpeed/Subispeed. In a game where you just play the middleman, I will gladly take my business elsewhere to some other middleman that isn't FTSpeed/SubiSpeed; there are a plethora of other options out there that can access more or less the same catalogue of items. FTSpeed/Subiespeed did Kevin Vo dirty, when Kevin Vo was a SIGNIFICANT part of why the company is as successful as it is today - hopefully yall's marketshare takes a deserving hit and Kevin lands somewhere that will treat him better and be worthy of the good-business his passion and efforts bring forth.

[@KiraOniiChan]

It really sucks the engine blew but looking forward to seeing more on this!

[@CarlosMontejo-wc5vt]

I really appreciate your experience, but I also came across a 2022 GR86 with a broken #4 connecting rod I ordered a short block and assembled the engine, but I need the timing chain illustration. It's different from FA20.

[@MrGsxrme]

Tuning being key when slapping any parts that can result in modifying the intake and/or exhaust. Knock or missfiring will knock the piston and helpfully remove any rod bearing. Cobb/Ecutek has stage tunes ATM but custom tuning isn't an option yet to correctly fine tune the fuel trims.

[@johnss2k434]

K swap time. I wish toyota didn't use a subaru engine in this car.

[@shinigami052]

Bruh that looked like sooooo much work and that's just like 1/3 of the process. Still gotta fix it and then put it back in.

[@H4zZ4rDGaming1]

I agree with Ryan Olson, it'd be cool to see someone do proper testing on what is the same and what's different on the engine

[@bryandejesus2011]

Swap in a 4Age20v silver top, thats a swap no one expects👀😅

[@fernandoverdejo7856]

I need you guys! Need a mechanic for my FRS here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@NapalmPineapple]

I couldn’t help but notice, but are the valve covers plastic? 🤔

[@lorencecheung]

Right??? I'm pretty sure they were aluminium on the FA20. I guess the new plastic valve covers are just yet another way they used to shave some weight off the car and save some money at the same time

[@NapalmPineapple]

@@lorencecheung Seems like a cost cutting move imo, the weight difference between the aluminum and plastic with all the rest of the engine components is probably not much. Either way I find it kinda annoying, I bet that will be an issue later on with it cracking and leaking.

[@lorencecheung]

@@NapalmPineapple it's a cost cutting move but seeing as how they keep talking about how much they've done to keep the weight down, I figured that was part of the reason lol. Plastic definitely will crack with age and seeing that this part sees a lot of heat I also bet that it will crack sooner rather than later

[@jamespark6132]

I hope the oil pump is not built in with the timing chain cover like the previous one.

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

personally I'd put a K20 with a turbo in there, will make the GR86 a monster for sure. I'm expecting to see spun bearings, maybe damaged cylinder walls.

How did u learn to do this kinda stuff?

[@zombie042083]

Having money and a brain read do its very straightforward

[@K03sport]

Time (and KZbin). Sometimes you just need to dive in and learn as you go. The more you do, the more you learn (both the right and wrong ways). However, the wrong way may only give you 1 chance, so you have to be safe and smart when tackling this type of task. Also, having the right tools help.

[@K03sport]

Now, needs a 8500rpm, all motor screamer. A 13b Renisis from a RX-8 would be nice too (too bad 3-rotor Cosmos engines aren't readily available in North America)...but seriously, balance/blueprint and take the redline into the 8000s. Also, time to add lightness. 🏁🍀. happy fry day 🍟

[@2MANYCARS]

It's a shame Subaru's poor engine craftsmanship exists today still, I know it's a small company, so is Mazda but come on.....

[@michaelwakim2198]

It was money shifted from 5th to 2nd on the track, I don’t think any engine could handle that

[@no1washerezz]

it was money shifted.... what engine regardless of subaru or not could survive 10k rpm?

[@2MANYCARS]

@@no1washerezz I understand it was money shifted, but I was talking about videos showing excess RTV blocking the oil pick up tubes. Even without the shifting incident, I'm sure that engine wouldn't last too long. Perhaps I should have stated that point clearly in my first comment.

[@johnybigarms]

RTV has nothing to do with this video, it’s comments like yours that have blown it out of proportion, obviously you don’t own a GR86 or BRZ, in percentage terms of cars sold the RTV causing engine failure will be 1 in a 1000 and all are warranted and repaired FOC, the money shift issue here is another story.

[@2MANYCARS]

@@johnybigarms Blown it out of proportion because I didn't say it clearly the first time, which I had apologized for not stating specifically about engine built quality? Well, let me say it again, sorry for not specifically speaking about the engine. Of course I don't own a BRZ/GR86, because with my past experiences with owning these cars, I know if I wanted to make serious kits out of them, the first thing one must do, is to remove the longblock from the car, and fortifying it extensively with structural, cooling, and lubrications thoroughly addressed. With that said, if Subaru makes hundreds of thousands of the FA24 a year, 1 in a 1000 is really minimal, but it doesn't so I hope Subaru really gets its game together, and address it with improved variants down the road.

[@teeth-man]

Stick a gr corolla engine in it! Or an LS! Or a K Swap!

[@K03sport]

...good luck finding a gr Corolla engine outside of the production line. Why can't they try to build an all-motor boxer FA24? Would be interesting to see.
