While some adore the stock package that the Toyota 86 comes with, the grunt offered by the 2.0-liter Boxer engine might not be enough for those that constantly pushes them to the limit. Going sideways is now a serious business and with the 86 now ready to carry out its duty as the AE86’s spiritual successor, it is slowly emerging as one of the top players in the competitive drift scene.
So with the drifters craving for more power to be squeezed out from the 86, what route could they take on to get more out of it? Giving it some boost with a turbocharger/supercharger might do the trick, but it seems like there is another option that is much more popular among pro drifters which involves a total heart transplant. And nothing else fits better into the Toyota other than the much-famed 2JZ engine.

European pro drifter Fredric Aasbo has it; the witty Ken Nomura also has done it, and now another swapped 86 joins in the club which is surprisingly from our neighbor up north in Thailand. Driven by the Thai’s Drift King, Kiki Sak Nana, the rear tires of this 86 were taking a serious punishing from the power coming out of the new heart it is beating in.

Built by Impression Garage, they had worked tirelessly day and night to complete the whole swapping process and also transforming the 86 into a full-off drift car in just four weeks; similar to Fredric’s 86 project! These guys definitely deserve the credits and with such an awesome car ready for action, let’s keep our fingers crossed that it will make an appearance on the Formula Drift Asia series next year.
