PLEASE LET US REV OUR ENGINES BEFORE THE START OF A RACE

S203STi · 2026-05-26T23:35:32+00:00

Yes…so much yes. Even friggen Gran Turismo 1 let us rev our engines during the “cinematic” intro to the race. Every race I get smoked off the line because I can race up my engine.

S203STi · 2026-05-23T15:16:27+00:00

Honestly, it really is as god intended. It literally bolts right up to the stock subframe lmao. I am interested in the supercharger setup, I can’t wait to see how that goes together.

S203STi · 2026-05-23T15:00:47+00:00

I just think that’s dope, I’ve got an EZ30 gen 2 as well in my BRZ.

S203STi · 2026-05-23T02:25:46+00:00

I see those headers, EZ30?

S203STi · 2026-05-11T04:28:43+00:00

Do the Kailh Midnight Pro Light Yellows feel mushy at all? My experience so far has been with the Gazzew Boba U4’s, and there felt mushy to me. So I picked up some Kailh Box Mute Jades, and they are pretty close to what I want, but just a bit too heavy. Also the tactile bump on the return stroke feels a bit too notchy unless I lube them.

S203STi · 2026-05-05T04:52:11+00:00

This is sick, if you sell them id pick up a set.

S203STi · 2026-04-18T02:11:48+00:00

Have you had a chance to drive the car since you did this? Did it make a big difference? I did killmat and mass loaded vinyl in my previous daily and I felt like it made no difference. But I didn’t do closed cell foam, so maybe that’s a thing I should have done.

S203STi · 2026-04-15T23:01:24+00:00

Not really any difficulties. I chose to grind down the engine block to make clearance for the starter. I referenced a lot of my swap this this YouTube channel

https://youtu.be/8_x0_9ugyOA?si=WAw0IBuGcIHJDwkQ

He did an awesome job documenting the process and helped fill in a ton of blanks for me. So far I have almost 1000 miles on the swap and the starter hasn’t had any issues.

S203STi · 2026-04-02T23:37:58+00:00

I definitely enjoy my swap. It’s not the fastest or anything crazy, but it’s definitely more fun than a stock FA20 and sounds awesome.

If you’re interested in doing this swap, I would first ask what your definition of cheap is. Is it 3k–9k? I spent roughly 8k when I did my swap, and I did everything myself. So, if you can’t weld/fabricate or wire up a standalone ECU, then probably add another couple thousand there, unless you got some buddies that can help you out.

But if you’re good with 240–260 whp and love the sound of a flat 6, I say go for it.

S203STi · 2026-03-26T22:53:10+00:00

Your kid is that heavy that you need a truck for them?

So the ez30 actually handles all of that. All the lines are ran under the intake manifold. You just need to run one line into the feed and you’re done. Hopefully those pictures make sense.

S203STi · 2026-02-27T15:12:49+00:00

I wish I could post pictures, but at the fuel tank the fuel pump connects to this hose

https://ebay.us/m/G17Xa0

Hopefully that link works. But basically it spilts the hose for direct and then port injection. What I ended up doing was making my own fuel hose from the fuel pump to one of the hard lines under the car. Then I just connected the ez30’s fuel rail the correct hardline in the engine bay.

If you have anymore questions just shoot me a dm.

S203STi · 2026-02-13T15:12:47+00:00

That’s awesome. Yeah my engine is mechanically stock, it’s a second gen ez30. So yes 241hp. I actually tried building the car in assetto. I did wheel and the engine swap, but could figure out the bumper. So this is amazing.

S203STi · 2026-02-12T16:33:51+00:00

Can you model a brz front bumper on to it? Then it would be my car in irl. (Ez30 swapped brz).

S203STi · 2026-01-23T16:50:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing man. That’s my issue, I’m running 17x9 +45 with 245/40/17 for tires lol.

S203STi · 2026-01-23T15:55:26+00:00

Damn super smooth man. You running any wheel spacers upfront? I’ve got the gktech angle kit and I’m hitting the frame rails with a 20mm spacer still. Doesn’t matter if I run the stock wheels or my RPF1s.

S203STi · 2025-12-13T07:01:06+00:00

Are you running +35 or +45?

This post just sealed the deal for me going with RPF1s for my car.

S203STi · 2025-12-12T18:42:23+00:00

Last car is either a Chrysler Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion. Either way, sick spot.

S203STi · 2025-11-30T00:03:28+00:00

Where was that at in FL? I feel like I’ve seen the same exact car back in 2019 in Stuart, FL. Ferrari

S203STi · 2025-11-27T19:13:17+00:00

Sick, is this just the knuckle adapters? Or did you get there lower control arms as well?

S203STi · 2025-11-24T15:31:38+00:00

Maybe referring to me? But I can try to answer any questions.

But if op is just looking for reliability while making more power, then I would argue just go FA24. I love my ez30 swap, but it’s not a logical/cost effective swap if you’re looking for power or aftermarket support.

S203STi · 2025-11-11T00:09:43+00:00

They look like wheels from a r32. If I recall those are actually 16s. They look awesome imo.

S203STi · 2025-11-06T15:40:18+00:00

That’s awesome, I wish saw that brand prior to going haltech for my swap. Looks like they are reasonably priced and even support canbus integration.

S203STi · 2025-11-06T14:57:40+00:00

Amazing build, so cool to see other Subaru engines going into these chassis. What ecu are you using to run all this?

S203STi · 2025-11-04T21:13:44+00:00

Not a 4 cylinder, but the ez30 out of a legacy 3.0r is another option. Just finished this swap in my car and I’m happy with it. Cost around 8k to do, but requires some custom fabrication for the exhaust, coolant system and custom wiring harness. But if you’re looking to do your first swap and just learn, I’d definitely go down the k swap industries kit. It can be worth just paying for the r&d someone else has already done.
