How to KSwap YOUR BRZ/FRS (Watch This First)

[@lpzj94]

I watched the 15 min video, I will be attempting to do this over the weekend with no sleep, lots of alcohol and maybe invite a friend over to hand me tools

[@SGTPJ]

Thank you for making this, I will be doing the same on my Gen2 BRZ when the time comes, I will need to do more research in a few years but in the man time the education will be well received.

I’ve actually seen a Gen2 get k-swapped already using the same KPower kit for the Gen1. Wiring is probably different, but it’s definitely doable.

Bro appreciate your effort of making videos and sharing with us, can you do drive review? Would love to know how your whole build drives and feels, how it is compared to fa20

Hey man I've been watching your k-swap series, I have a 2015 FA20 with a blown motor and I'm trying to see the cheapest options to get a car again, I'm fucking walking around. New fa20 looking around 5-6k, been looking into swaps and it seems like they're triple the price..... So depressing, this car brought me so much joy now so much pain!

[@BuildingWithSean]

I’m sorry to hear that man that sucks. Yeah pretty much any engine swap will cost you $10k or more (depending on who you know and how cheap you want it done). What’s the condition of your engine? You said it’s blown, but is it just knocking, is there a hole in the block? If it’s not too bad you might be able to have your engine machined and put back together, but that would probably be similar price to just getting a replacement FA20.

My frs has same problem. What did you do to resolve the problem. It seems to be a reoccurring problem with the fa20 motor.

[@ratedm90]

@@lawrencelimcoThat’s why I sold my frs. I was always paranoid the engine might go at any sec, which they usually do even with the best maintenance. It’s like a ticking time bomb.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

I want an K24 with ITB. The priblem will be, for the price i could do turbo route

[@rs3672]

Been looking at this swap but after reading some post swap reviews, a lot of people complain about drive shaft vibration. Not sure if due to elimination of balance shafts or drive shaft issues, but do you see any issues on a street driven car?

[@BuildingWithSean]

The K-series engine in general has a lot of vibration. Most of the complaints I’ve seen are from folks who modified their stock driveshafts. Since I used a different transmission I got a custom, one-piece, aluminum driveshaft. Also, switching from the stock oil pump with the balance shafts to the Type-S increases NVH. Kpower is working on an update that uses the stock oil pump, so keep an eye out for that.
