I would suggest you all be patient. We all have things that have a higher priority than our cars. And, I doubt that his little enterprise is his pays his bills.

he created the expectation by posting it up before it's time

funny how there can be a million new BRZ/FRS parts and kits jamming the market but it takes many years for a hyped up conversion kit, header, etc. to hit the market here

grossly underfunded and minimal sales opportunity is a more likely answer

I don't think a kit will ever work for this swap, as pointed out in previous posts, but I think parts for the swap will work, such as engine mounts, intercooler kit, wiring harness ect.

with the swap you always have to compromise something, so any of these swaps are going to be only as complete as the price tag dictates.

Its a really easy swap. just use the stock engine harness and use an adaptronic ecu thats plug and play. Use FFE crank trigger kit and make an adapter plate for the throttle body. Then just make a turbo kit for it. You will have to do a return style fuel system if you wont to make more power then 400hp or you can port the crap out of the RENI and turbo it and run E85 and make 550hp. you will spend less money.

REW swapped 8! Done and done, who wants a unicorn kit! Stock ecu tied into what ever standalone ECU for rotaries, Drive by wire TB, all gauges work in the car "Besides Check Engine light on" Send me your dream and we will make it a reality. No joke PM me, I will give you a list of everything needed for what you want as consulting, or bring us your car, Northern MN. I will say this can be a do it yourself, but through trial and error your better off to sign the check and have it done right.

Yeah it'll make that power for a couple dyno sessions then probably blow up within 1000 miles.

The problem isn't getting more air into the engine, the exhaust ports are just ****.
