so i was thinking... since there is one for every other car......

what do you guys think will come out first....

turbo kit/ supercharger (actually hit shelves)



who do you think will take a stab at it first ( any suppliers on here?)



you think TRD will make options for this....



and what kind of numbers yall think it will put down modified



im still iffy on this car

 

i think a turboi kit/ upgrades will be produced first

i think greddy will hit the ground running....
i would love to see a ptunning kit.....

i really dont see a supercharger coming out of this..

im sure TRD will work something out..... i just hope it aiont a supercharger..lol

would be nice to see numbers clear into the high 300's but dont we all want that...lol

 

I'd bet on Greddy having something out before TRD. There's been speculation about a TRD branded s/c coming eventually.

 

I believe a turbo kit would be out first also. not a fan of superchargers my self.

 

I think Greddy is ready to release one. They also need to produce a low coilover kit cuz that car is way to high at stock height

 

Flat Subby four with 12.5:1 comp ratio AND direct injection. I feel the same way.

 

TRD Europe is working on a Supercharger. No word if it'll end up over here (probably not).

GReddy has prototype parts (as seen on the black FR-S) but a turbo kit isn't in the works yet. It's still in debate (worried by the compression ratio being high).

 

seems like i am only one of maybe 3 people who don't want to turbo or supercharge this thing. lol

 

I'm on the same boat as you. I want to do minor mods to top off the power, but I think this will be almost perfect from the factory. Just needs some tuning after driving the car for a bit.

 

iv been looking at direct injection and it seems almost perfect for boost as long as fuel pressure is high enough. Though iv heard from others with experiance with direct injection (standard gas apps) that they can be fouled fairly easily. Ford is using DI in the taurus sho while being twin turbocharged if that says anything.

 

if you go to greddy's post in the lounge you will see they are already working on a turbo kit.

 

We do plan on developing a turbo kit in the near future. To answer your question "has R&D begun?", maybe . Before we prototype or develop anything, thorough research needs to be conducted. Upon analyzing the data and market, the project will advance into the next step. It's a step by step process that can't be rushed to ensure quality is applied. This principle applies to our entire product line and not just turbo kits.

Stay tuned...

 

saw this today:

I agree as well. I think there's room for hope of a turbo, eventually. But considering this is going to be a completely new car, I'd rather get one, love it, not mess with it too much, and trade it for the next better version.

That way, you can drive, mod and boost one that has had it's kinks worked out.

 

you beat me to it i was just about make a thread about this.

 

I like the more linear power delivery you'd get from a supercharger, but have always wanted a car that sounded like the prodrive p2 for anyone that's seen that episode of Top Gear. I dont have any sources but I thought TRD was working on a SC kit and Subaru was working on a factory Turbo possibly for the sti version of the brz.

 

the new issue of top gear magazine has articles on the BRZ and the 86. in there they say that the reps from subaru say they will not be putting a turbo in the brz but they could put stronger valvetrain in the motor and increase the rev limit.

 

hmmm i wonder when power starts to fall off on the car. if it makes power all the way to red line that would be insane.

 

Nice video . Now we just need closer look

 

how much boost would be safe for that, seeing thier passed record? on 93 octane min.
