NONE of the above. I mean, sure some aftermarket company might be dumb enough to make a turbo kit for it but c-mon it's gonna be sti swaps all day long and or raping a dunzo wrx/sti motor and just slappin' the stuff on the frs.

hotbox05

YES and NO. It is an all new motor but it was NOT by any means MADE by Subaru it was a VERY intertwinded collaoration between fuji heavy industries and Toyota.

it is VERY new and DIFFERENT than any currently available subie motor BUT much to the Toyota designers the block will bolt up to any Subaru transmission and has teh exact same engine mounts as any EJ thus ruining his car and making it something that ANYONE with only HALF a brain in their skull will swap a wrx/sti motor into this better rwd chassis.

If there isn't one by the time I get mine, then I will have them custom build me one.

oh sti swaps all day long? with what transmission is this power going to be put down with. because the AZ1 tranny does not bolt up to the EJ25 or EJ20.

hotbox05

That differs from what I've heard. and even if so I'm fairly certain people will make the swap work vs paying even more to make an na/t

Go look at the greddy page they said it looked to not fit. Now if someone tried it and it works awesome.

Let's look at this through a wise man observation. If the FRS or BRZ was fitted with a turbo it would not be CARB legal and with a crack down in Cali with all these random CARB enforcement random checks I wouldn't risk it. If some tuner company would make a supercharger and make it CARB legal with say 270 to 320 rwhp I would be happy. TRD will make a supercharger for the FRS it's just a matter of time. Turbos on the other hand will come out tuner companys like there on fire and yes they are probably better in terms of power but do you want to take everything apart everytime to get a SMOG. Not me. Truthfully we should wait and see what ol subbie does because I heard there maybe a STi version of the BRZ in the pipeline. Well wait and see right?

I don't live in Cali, those rules don't apply to me...

We don't have vehicle inspections, or front plates.

OMG lucky! lol

Right?

I moved from MA, where I got a $100 ticket, for the TRD exhaust on my tC.

But yeah, you wouldn't believe some of the stuff you see on road here. I love it. haha

not so wise from this angle. the sti version will not have turbo, they do not want it competing with the other models. chp has been pushing road checks since the 90's, nothing new. im in so~cal and modded, pulled over and no issues. it depends on cop, and what your caught doing. trd supercharger? , we know how that went last round, didn't even last the model run.

I guess you haven't had the same experiences with Subaru motors as I have... They are weak. I'd modify a motor Toyota has had their hands on over a Subaru WRX motor any day.

Diesel engines use direct injection now and they are pretty reliable boosted lol. I'm sure direct injection isn't worse for the the new motor. The VW GTI uses the same injection system and its boosted supposedly without issues. One of direct injections purpose is to lower the chance of detonation since fuel is fired in later than the pre valve type. In turbo applications, this means higher fuel pressure, not sure on n/a, but I would guess that maybe it's a little higher than normal.

Probly a trd supercharger. Hopefully it will better thought out put then the tc s/c. Lol. I'm expecting something amazing from the ptuning turbo kit....
