Here it is: the industry\u2019s first all-in, complete engine swap package for a K series. We\u2019ve carried out the development and a huge amount of testing, making changes and improvements every step of the way. This package includes everything we have proven out in our K24 BRZ test car for many months. It fits all 2013-2020 BRZ, FR-S, and 86 manual transmission vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The potential of the K24 in an 86 chassis has already been seen by a few highly skilled DIY enthusiasts, but we wanted to bring a proper \u201cFA20 delete kit\u201d to the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was a lofty one. We wanted complete OEM functionality in this modern chassis. All electronics needed to work like stock, down to the gauges, air conditioning, cruise control, ABS, traction control, and more. We also wanted to retain the smooth shifting 86 transmission, particularly for customers doing naturally aspirated builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, we wanted compliant rubber engine mounts to keep NVH to a minimum. In short, the car needed to function as though this incredible chassis came fitted with a proper K24 engine right off the showroom floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that we exceeded our high expectations, and the end result is something truly special. The ability to easily convert an 86 chassis to operate with K series power under the hood breathes new life into a very capable car that has always suffered from an underwhelming and often unreliable engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our test vehicle, a 2013 BRZ, has been thoroughly tested for the last several months. We\u2019ve clocked over 3000 miles on track alone\u2014at Barber, NCM, Putnam Park, Gingerman, Autobahn Country Club, and Mid-Ohio. Data has been logged and reviewed, and our products were tweaked and refined until perfection was reached. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, our car runs a stock K24A2 engine, outputting a healthy 230whp and 190wtq thanks to our intake, header, exhaust, and tune. But since this is only the beginning, we\u2019ve already acquired another BRZ and an FR-S, with plans to develop an upgraded transmission option, turbo parts, and do some endurance racing along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our completed car also benefited from a whopping 140-pound weight drop thanks to the lighter K24 and our lightened components, even with all accessories and A\/C!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This package provides all aftermarket parts for a complete K24 conversion in your vehicle. Just add an engine, some OEM parts, and some assembly time, and your 86 will be transformed into the car it should have been from the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
