911 Metzger Engine in GT86 ?!
after reading a bit about all the mods and the engine swaps on the GT86/BRZ/FRS brothers i had a thought and i can’t deside if its brilliant or idiotic. Lets put a 911 metzger engine from something like a 996 gt3 or a base 911 engine like from a 997 C2S in a GT86… it will not alter the personality of the car all that much and it will give it all the power needed… money-wise it is an idiotic suggestion but i think that could be one of the coolest engine swaps

the car will still have a very low center of gravity, it will remain naturally aspired and it willl have the power it always needed
I say it’s good idea, then again i’d suggest putting a massive turbo in the stock GT86.
I’ve also thought of something similar to this, but along the lines of a 997 GT2 Engine in a Liberty/Legacy. You know, keeping with a flat-6 but also giving out BUCKETLOADS of power!! the ultimate sleeper!
maan i been dreaming of doing this swap for a while, im glad someone has done it
What trans would you use, cause factory has transverse mounted, that would make the car FWD…
better of using the EZ30 from the Legacy 3.0R if you want a flat 6 as it’d be a much easier install
Has this thing been done?
