this.
I mean, that's properly quick, very fast indeed. But it's also strapping on a turbo to an NA motor. That ain't cheap. Sure, a Z probably won't hold up mod-for-mod with it. That's impressive, but there are plenty of people who won't throw away a huge amount on a turbo and toss their warranty out the window. And as someone else mentioned, Let's see about reliability. It's exciting news, though, because there is supposed to be an STI/TRD version of the twins in the works. I doubt that they'll be running 400hp, but you never know. And for those who are willing to blow huge money and their warranty to go FI, this is a budget supercar. |

Nice.
Next lets see if it holds up or blows up. Also, be great if Toyota/Subaru could fix the cam sensor issues plaguing that car... Why won't Toyota offer this car with factory boost? ![]()

Lol!!! Does it say 20 pounds??? How many people are running that kind of boost on their Z? Crank the boost to 20 on a Z and lets see what happens.

True, anything over 12lbs will probably make the Z implode without an overhaul of the engine with complete forged internals... But is the scion/brz car on a forged or stock engine? And how many 20psi passes will it hold till it busts??? Thats the real question. How long has the brz been running this kinda boost?

Finally, at least one person that gets it. This post is just all sorts of bias. First you run 20 pounds. A Z with 20 pounds would probably be WELL into the NINES. It would smoke this POS Toyota. Remember the suspension is designed by the guys that make CAMRY suspesnsion. What do you expect to happen? You can even hear the engine breaking as it does the track. I bet it doesn't even last for many passes. I have a finely tuned ear from years of tuning cars and I can hear that it is too much boost. Plus the car is running E85. That is like nitrous for subarus. You woulnd't compare a NOS powered Z to a NON-ASPIRATED Subaru, why would you do the reverse. RED6SPD is right...you guys are just HATERS!!!!!!!!! |

LOL! I think its awesome what they are doing with the little subby and its things like this that make the aftermarket for the cars a much better place. I hope they hit 10's that would be sick. But as mentioned before don't come on here saying "oh boy look the Z cant do that".

The flipside is... once the Z is attainable for 22k or less used? YOU WILL SEE 11 SECOND Z's. Cost of ownership plus cost of going FI sways a lot of people. People are boosting the BRZ cuz it can be had for 26k and the cars are new so they are getting sponsor discounts. We and mitsu see the highest prices in mods for a non premium brand.

Not worshipping the ground your car drives on isn't "hating" and that's the attitude that can give the Z a bad name. Although from what I read of yours from another topic, I doubt you'll understand anything I'm saying. You took something remarkably simple and turned into an attack on the Z when it wasn't even the car in question. (See: 2014 wrx topic) Seriously, think before you post. |
