13B in an FRS?!?!?!

Keep us posted on this!

I have read many reviews touting the FRS/BRZ as the modern equivalent of the RX7.........so dropping a 13B in one is very apt!

Good luck on this!

I'm keeping an eye out for this build! Is there a weight penalty with the 13B over the stock engine?

It's actually lighter. Subaru motors are tanks. Should put most of the weight behind the front strut towers too.

Nice! Come to think of it, Vorshlag said an LS swap was ~40 lbs heavier, IIRC. Good luck with your build!
