Gran Turismo 7 Engine Swap Spotlight: the Rise of the 3Uz Subaru Brz in 2025
By David Miller
What Collector Level is required to unlock the 3UZ swap in Gran Turismo 7?
Players must reach GT Cafe Collector Level 50 to buy the 3UZ-FE engine directly inside the GT Auto Maintenance & Service shop. Before reaching Level 50, the conversion can only be won through rare six-star Engine Roulette Tickets.
Does the 3UZ V8 ruin the BRZ's front-to-rear weight balance?
No. The Toyota 3UZ-FE utilizes an aluminum engine block and aluminum cylinder heads, keeping total added weight to roughly 35 kilograms over the factory boxer. The car's weight distribution shifts slightly from 53:47 to roughly 55:45, an offset easily tuned out with adjustable coilovers and front camber.
Can the 3UZ-swapped BRZ compete cleanly in 700 PP track lobbies?
Yes. With racing suspension, fully customizable transmission, racing exhaust, and high-lift camshafts, the car reaches 550+ horsepower with a curb weight under 1,100 kg. This power-to-weight balance makes it exceptionally competitive at circuits requiring high corner-exit speeds like Spa-Francorchamps and Mount Panorama.
