When he said that I was like 😬

Thank God I'm not the only one 😅

Shout-out to all my fellow driving enthusiasts hahaha 🤙🏼

"this car is so slow" says the guys flooring 6th gear on the highway already going 100 lol

Yea I pretty much Redline at least once a day! lol

tbh it’s not wrong to do it either 💀💀💀

so true mate👍

Until you’re on a hill. Weirdo

@@joshuav8571 not funny.😑

@@joshuav8571 go tell your gay jokes somewhere else weirdo.

Yea bro... flame decals give +500 hp on installation😳😳

Did you mean battle aero?

Bro, I added a dragon ball to replace my shift knob. I drive on clouds now!

@@justabearbrowsingyoutube4968 LMAO

Yup I thought it was like what you did as well

Lowie T I’m still saying E C U Tek

E c u Tek for life

I thought that way as well.

Just wondering, but why do you think it's not necessary for the 2017-up manual with 4.3 fd to have the fd upgrade?

Fuherious probably because there isn't as big of a difference since those models already have shortened FD. 4.3 to 4.5 or 4.8 isn't as big of a jump, probably not worth the trouble?

4.3 to a 4.67 is definitely worth it. Or even 4.88 if you wanna go hectic

@@julian2011934 going 4.56 from 4.3 is a marginal improvement. 4% at best. Also the cost involve in changing your final drive for that amount of gain is on the high side. Youll still have a gain, but in my opinion its not worth it. You might not even feel it on day to day driving.

What was the final gear ratio before 2017?

Not ideal for dailys

Not really necessary, All I’ve done power-wise is a 10psi turbo kit. I daily drive it and it’s hard to find E85 in the city. I’m at 277whp on pump gas with stock fuel pump etc. IMO plenty of power, just what the car needed. It’s been boosted for 55k+ miles and am still very happy with it. I couldn’t do a NA 86 anymore.

Scott Ryan depends on where you live... how accessible it is... temperatures... cuz E85 doesn’t like the cold... E85 can clog injectors if it sits to long...

DJ Dizzy I feel you, I’m n/a But not everyone wants to spend 3k minimum if you’re lucky to go boosted. I’m waiting for mine to be paid off so I can go boosted.

alex ruiz good call waiting until it’s paid off. I got a SBD version 2 stage 1 kit which was 3k but I had a tuner do the install, dyno-tune etc. So it was 4k out the door for everything.

Which header path did you go, equal or unequal?

But all that cost you as much as a 400hp car. Which may be fine for you, but it's easy to see why others don't think it's a good idea

Idok Watcher yes... those people are more than welcome to buy a Mustang GT and will beat me in a straight line on any day that ends in “y”. But even as it stands with parts money, I’ve spent about $9,000 less on buying and building my new brz and am faster around our local track than many cars/drivers with much more power under the hood.

I agree with stuart on this not every one wants a car that every one can buy stock with 400 horse power. Not to mention i see thousands of ford 5.0. Lime my wife has the special addition 2013 scion tc rs 8.0 2000 made and I have 2017 toyota 860 special. You just don't see so many out there. Where as the sti you see them every where. Some people like rarity and will spend the money getting it up to par. Or some people starting out cant handle 400 horses under the feet. Good way to start out learn the craft and have fun building what you want. That's the fun in it.

Can confirm. I have a similar set up and the oft stage 2+ E-85 really changed this car.

Do you guys have to worry about passing emissions with that setup? I'm in NY State

Bryan Liguori I’m in Cali so I doubt I’ll pass emissions with this setup to be honest. Even with the catted header. Sadly I’ll probably swap everything back to stock so I can pass emissions :(

@@ScoopDog13 That sounds like such a drag to have to do! Damn, even with cats, what do they want from you? I believe NY subscribes to Cali emission regs so oh well... Shit I'd love some Subie rumble though.

@@nthgth yeah, i wouldnt be able to pass emission but luckily i dont need to pass it where i live

Tertia.E011 okay boomer

iTZz Kittens how’d you lose it ? :(

Don't worry bro you'll get another one. Small things to a giant.

So sorry for your loss 😔

For those interested in what happened, mine had a recall that had to be done so I took it to the dealer and a week later I was informed that while the intake manifold was removed, they started up my car to move it outside and it caught fire...

iTZz Kittens that fucken sucks I hope you get your bag 😤

Chris Nguyen good luck on that one, changing on totally stock enginebay is a beast with the fuel injector covers in the way😂

Chris Nguyen unless you have a lift it’s a pain in the ass.

Step 1: Give up Step 2: Engine swap time, baby

Had the valve-spring recall work done and had them replace the plugs while the motor was out :)

Did mine in about 3 hours but def worth not spending extra on a mechanic. Downside is they're in a difficult spot

Thanks for your perspective bro. Didn't think about getting sway bars any time soon

What sway bars would you recommend

I have the Whiteline front and rear bars with the adjustable links. The quality is awesome. They aren’t anything too technical, so any decent brand would be just fine I am sure. Size is important... I run the 22mm front and 18mm rear, which are the larger ones Whiteline offers, and they overwhelm the stock tires. With just sway bars and sticky tires you can crush on ramps.

I believe most of the fastest guys in 86Cup Street class run stock sway bars?

Timur Iskhodzhanov could be bro

Thrash it, just to be sure.

It's temporary my man. Trust me it'll get better. It did for me after college

TheDisrespectfulGentlemen yeah I’m 19 and a junior in college. Supposed to graduate fall 2020 or spring 2021. Almost done🙏🏽

TheDisrespectfulGentlemen what degree

@@Deselectings7 criminal justice here in Texas

Ace everything from here on out and get experience while in college when you can

Jermine Saw really, what about a flash tune

This was true in my case... Got one of the factory taillights replaced under warranty for water ingress, then replaced both of them with Valentis. lol

lucas holtkamp they change your car’s looks a lot I agree, especially at night

The condensation is caused by bad factory seals. Even my TOM'S had that issue until I got the updated seals/gaskets.

My '18 BRZ doesn't have the condensation issue...yet

Follow same question ive had in mind

Somebody gets it!

A naturally aspirated vehícle feeling is much better

@@luisfelipelama4568 depends on turbo size and if your anti lag is set right. Sometime turbo lag is not even noticeable. For example my dads turbo Cayman swapped beetle is the most responsive car I've driven besides my kart.

I heard spacers were the leading contribution to issues with your axels down the line

@@sambutler1794 depends how aggressively you space them. A very subtle 10mm or so won’t do squat to your axles long-term, but it will make the car look more mature, especially when coupled with slight lowering springs.

Or you know, get some offsets

Coilovers and a wider wheel with a touch of stretch. No need for spacers, ever, imo

@@Oetti square 10mm or just the rear wheels?

racecomp yellow drop just 20 mm F and R

Neons are better for handling

Idk what either of those are. Yes, please give more details.

Apparently a hood with cut-outs can be a huge cooling bonus as well.

Cal Miller yes and no cut outs that do something like top mounted intercoolers or you have you turbo mounted high to take a (mesh you induction opening or pay for new parts) breeze can work, I prefer a thermos blanket tho. The certainly look cool but they cost you on the track. However for a BRZ/FRS they run hot, so cooling is a BIG deal. The problem is that the opening cause a ton of drag loosing up your front (bc it’s lifting). Also if you want to cool your engine bay you need EXAUTS holes not intake. Holes that draw air into the engine bay compress generating MORE heat. You need openings to allow the heat to escape. Anyway sorry for the lengthy explanation. Lol happy building!

the best suspecion is for sure KW V3

yes
