This is one of my dream swaps, but you are absolutely correct that there is so little info online. Love this plan, looking forward to it!

[@leedfollow]

Many thanks :) Its going to be slow progress but hopefully one day people can watch back these videos and follow them to do the whole swap :)

[@keatonmiller3640]

I’ve currently got a TT Eg33 swap going in my BRZ. Looking forward to more of your videos on your swap

[@leedfollow]

@keatonmiller3640 - Cool stuff! :)

[@nickbentley1111]

I've made up some intakes that take ITBs from a Triumph motorcycle. Should be able to save a couple of grand over Jenveys.

[@leedfollow]

Cool. Sounds great!

[@dmedeiros1974]

new sub.. I did the BRZ EZ30 swap ... working great... its a great swap. Good to see another

[@leedfollow]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@achillesyip1373]

how did you get the exhaust to hook up/do you have any advice on upgrading?

[@Kuehnpiano]

The legacy radiator is height 13.78in and width 27.2in the stock Frs 86 BRZ is height 14in and width 25.56in with a little modding i think it will work

[@leedfollow]

Stock 86 radiator is fine. No need to try to fit a Legacy radiator in there. But thanks anyway.

[@Kuehnpiano]

@leedfollow you will have to do extra Plumbing I believe. The legacy radiator has two outlets. I just thought it would look cleaner 🤷‍♂️

[@user-km3dj4bu3p]

This is my dream

[@leedfollow]

Hopefully it’ll become a reality this year :)

[@elitegamingz5482]

First video I’ve seen of yours. Excited to see this build

[@leedfollow]

Thanks! Glad to have you along for the journey!

[@michaelcapon4871]

Can't wait for this, shout if you need a hand 🔧

[@leedfollow]

100% :)

[@diamondmidnightgardener]

This is going to be great..... subbed!

[@leedfollow]

Thanks! It’s still progressing in the background…. Promise :) Hopefully i’ll have another video on this project soon!

[@luke_rr4474]

This is Awesome!

[@leedfollow]

Thanks! :)

[@alinmgheorghe]

Friggin awesome. I want to do this to my own BRZ In the future. Thanks for sharing.

[@leedfollow]

Thanks for watching!

[@qm9845]

did you also pick up a raptor cold air intake? theyre getting a little rare now. Another good option would be Kobe Motorsports, also an Australian company that sells a proper cold air intake for the ez30

[@leedfollow]

No I’m sticking with the stock intake until its been dyno’d, then if I need more air i’ll probably be throwing all the intake in the bin for ITB’s

[@thundermite1241]

All you need is awd and you have a svx

[@leedfollow]

Yup :) A modern SVX!

[@RonaldWilliams-jg1dq]

very interested in this conversion was going to go K24 but prefer to stay Subaru

[@leedfollow]

Cool stuff. Welcome!

[@jak404]

hey thank you for doing this swap, why the ez30 versus ez36?

[@leedfollow]

Thanks. I mentioned in the video 3x reasons - 1) the EZ36 doesn’t rev well compared to the EZ30 2) EZ36 is a lot more expensive 3) lack of aftermarket EZ36 parts (y)

[@matthewwain9958]

Forgot to ask, what is the weight balance difference between stock engine, and ez30 setup you have?

[@leedfollow]

Stay tuned and we’ll be weighing both engines as we go through the project (y)

[@cheetopuffs9570]

how would this swap go for a auto trans?

[@leedfollow]

Exactly the same. There is a possibility I may be going Auto also.

[@matthewwain9958]

I want to do the same, but the whole emissions thiig is a pain. So much pointless overreach unfortunately.

[@leedfollow]

Emissions shouldn’t be an issue unless you are somewhere really strict. Which Country are you in?

[@matthewwain9958]

@@leedfollow USA, Pennsylvania.

[@leedfollow]

@matthewwain9958 Ah I see. Yeah I know emissions laws can be quite strict in some US states. We have it pretty easy in England. You can pretty much put any engine in any vehicle.

[@matthewwain9958]

@@leedfollow I moved here from Plymouth 10 years ago. I'm used to doing stupid stuff with cars lol. Hoping I can do it again with am ez30.

[@cct3053]

Why not EZ36?

[@leedfollow]

Good question. As I mentioned in the video I spent a lot of time deciding between the EZ30 and EZ36. EZ36 is a lot more expensive to purchase, does not like to rev high (designed more for low down torque) whereas the EZ30 does & very few tuning parts available for the EZ36. Once this car is finished I would like to revisit the EZ36 and see if more aftermarket parts are available. There was someone working on a 4.0 stroker kit for the EZ36 but that project appears to have been canned now.

[@cct3053]

@@leedfollow Thanks for replay, so is a price and high revs question

[@leedfollow]

Yeah totally. EZ36 at the moment isn’t really a good option for a track car. But fingers crossed in the future it will be an option.
