K Swapped FRS in 10 minutes

[@llero]

Buying my frs shell today looking forward to the swap Ty for making it easy to understand the process real one !!

[@sporkinstien6571]

I love how much extra room there is in the bay

[@ivXeon]

With a big turbo it makes it look and feel unbeatable

[@SkyyMi]

Saw your car at Importalliance, it was really cool to see it in person. Thank you for making this series pretty much set on buying a brz / frs at this point and to see how accessible this swap is. Has me thinking it will be the route I want to go long term with one.

[@TripSkyWalker]

Awesome, glad you got to see it. I try & bring it out when ever i can. Good luck on your swap adventures

[@SkyyMi]

@@TripSkyWalker Thank you, looking forward to seeing more of yours at grid life.

[@bennyang8049]

@@TripSkyWalkercan you register your frs/brz with a k-engine at the dmv at your state?

[@TripSkyWalker]

@bennyang8049 yeah I can no problem in TN. They don't even look at your car. As long as the title is clean they will register anything.

[@JoseBrisenoJr-hj1pu]

The best Setup period, In my mind. I love it.

[@Jokielk]

Love the way this was filmed

[@stevenyerry2209]

Do you notice a different in handling with the engine being so much further back

[@shanechinonn7805]

Great work on the series. You made it look so easy on this video. Haha

[@builtbyemperor2201]

This is really nice! Any drawbacks by swapping to k?

[@TripSkyWalker]

Just noise & vibrations really.

[@gabrielhernandez1287]

Nice job! What transmission will you go with down the road?

[@TripSkyWalker]

The stock trans does just fine for my power output & I don't have any current plans to up the power by much

[@RobertoMelendez]

Trip you’re awesome dude, I wanna come shoot some video of it sometime

[@CluelessEngineer]

Damn. Great video. I'm looking to buy a frs and go k also. As a somewhat retired KZbinr I appreciate all the shorts and the amount of time it must have taken to keep setting up the camera. Approximately how much did everything cost (excluding the motor)

[@TripSkyWalker]

Thanks man. Filming definitely slows down the process. I'd say about 11k the motor is the cheapest part.

[@mattbrown7935]

@Trip SkyWalker Well there go my hopes and dreams of doing this myself 🥲. Unless I'm mistaken and the cost of the 86 is a large portion of that 11K? 🤞

[@CluelessEngineer]

@@mattbrown7935 no lol. A FRS cost 10k+ easily. A kswap FRS would cost like 25k to make.

[@mattbrown7935]

@Aleem Yeah that was a stretch and a half, I still plan on getting an 86 though as they can be found for around 8-9K here in England

[@CluelessEngineer]

@@mattbrown7935 I'm talking USD. Even with a 8k car, you'll still need another 10k for all the swap parts. The motor alone is around 1k then all the adapters and wiring stuff will add up plus the transmission. That's what I estimate I'll pay when I start my swap 20-25

[@anthonyingramingram6388]

I LOVE the PAINT 😃

[@revvhappy]

Amazing work 🤟🏻

[@JohnAvantiBK]

Are you selling the car, and how much HP does it make?

[@TripSkyWalker]

No. I have way to much time & money to get rid of it.

[@user-white007]

Was that the oem transmission with a adapter plate? And if you could guesstimate a cost?

[@TripSkyWalker]

yes its the oem trans. Full cost is around 12k ish

[@jayden1558]

What transmission is it mated to? Is it the s2k trans with an IRP short shifter?

[@TripSkyWalker]

No its still the factory FRS trans. ..You can mount a s2k trans but the shifter ends up almost in the dash.

[@kkkevv224]

bro insane vid. amazing job.

[@Ayeskkies]

How much did the swap cost you

[@TripSkyWalker]

Too much ha.. I have around 12k in the swap.

[@keenan537817]

How many hours of labour would you say it takes to complete the install?

[@TripSkyWalker]

I think someone who knows what they are doing can maybe do it in 30 to 40 hours.

[@aminenko91]

damn i wish i worked this fast

[@vcrazy_diamond]

I kinda want to do this to my GR86 lol

[@TripSkyWalker]

I don't think it would be worth it on a new 86/brz

[@Quan-iu3uz]

Better than the 23 hours of labor to just change the spark plugs 😭

[@TUGRA14]

@@TripSkyWalker why do you think that?

[@LoveInYourMouth]

Good lord I wish Toyota would’ve done something like this from the beginning. They have plenty inline 4 cylinder engines. Why on earth did they go with Subaru ugh.

[@mamad021nobar]

BRZ engineers who tried to design the best engine for this car after this video:"Bruh"

[@RR-cg2rq]

Did the stock engine give out that's why you went with a K swap?

[@TripSkyWalker]

No I actually never had any issues out of it. Even after a ton of track days. But I new that wouldn't last forever.

[@RR-cg2rq]

@@TripSkyWalker how many miles have you put on the FA before swapping it to a K?

[@TripSkyWalker]

@@RR-cg2rq It only had 67k on it. Selling the lowish mile FA helped Fund the Swap.

[@RR-cg2rq]

@@TripSkyWalker is a k swap on an FRS cheaper than forging the engine and adding a turbo?

[@george4111]

@@RR-cg2rq eh, purpose of k swap is more power in the long run OEM engine would give out really fast f swap is known to last being turboed
