When you take a great car and make it even greater... we present to you a turbocharged Subaru BRZ :)

I totally agreed with Subaru for not putting a turbo/supercharger out of the box. Here is the thing, people keep saying that this is an “enthusiast” car. Most of the people don’t understand what that means. To explain it in simple words, this car is made so you could enjoy the car out of the box. It is put together perfectly in my opinion. You don’t have to be a really good driver to drive it to it’s limit to enjoy it. You can easily drift/powerslide without the need to be at high speed. This is exactly like the Mazda MX-5/Miata. It is made for you to enjoy the car, without throwing so much money, work, and time on it. Good gearbox, good engine, good tuning, good suspension, good handling, and good front engine RW drive setting out of the box. That is what “enthusiast” car means. You enjoy the car for what it is without any mods or upgrades on it. And after you have thoroughly enjoyed the stock car, somewhere down the line you can alway mod it for more power if you want to. A lot of the kids these days don’t understand this. They are born in a time where everything must be in a “my stuff is better then yours” situation. “My car got 1000HP”, “My car can do 0-60 in 0.125sec”, “My car can fly”, “My car is $1,000,000 more expensive then yours”. And afterwards proceed to drive it at 20-30mph all day long. Even in a track you can’t really drive the supercars nowadays at its limit. If you are not pushing close to the limit and beyond in your car, you are not thoroughly enjoying it. With the BRZ/GT86, you can and you can do it more often and more safely.

Markus u should get the owner of the cars to explain their cars again. Cool to see the owners POV of their own cars and see the owners.

7:23 - GT3 RS sighting

Even though it doesnt have the rumble, you can still hear a signature F4 sound, almost like a faint rumble.

A brz is my dream car. It's SO GOOD LOOKING

I'm so glad I finally got my FRS ! Turbo is definitely on the wishlist.

Well done on your success, and even more well done for plugging your boy Markus Aurelius! Keep that collab coming!!

Thanks again for featuring my songs maaaaaaan. Fuck these videos are soooo sick I love each and every one

I like your style mate. Much better than so many boring presenters. Hats off.

This channel is underrated. You should have 1 million + subs. Awesome content

Yes keep the uploads coming

As per your skyline comment, I agree that it's a better performer out of the box, but as a daily driver I would take the brz, even sans turbo kit. Right hand drive, questionable ownership history, insurance headaches and dealing with overseas parts for minor repairs and maintenance are a lot of headaches to deal with on a DD.

I see that in a Lordco, and always been curious about it. This video helps answer my questions. Nice channel!

Love the cars you review! Keep up the good work!

100% Toyota/Subaru should have added a turbo to this from factory.

Spending more money on decent tyres instead of cheap n nasty Firestones will solve more problems.

I didn't know the actor from Valerian made KZfaq videos lol. For real though I enjoyed this video. I own a 13' FRS and I totally agree with you, I'm probably gonna go the turbo route.

Sooooo many dope videos lately

Someone get that man a license plate delete kit! His intercooler will thank you.

For those who crap on the Firestones, those are the rebrand RE003 from Bridgestone, they are one of the leading in Ultra Performance Summer Tires. And they offer a great performance for the price. Do your research.

Good good video bro definitely buying a BRZ next year!

Definitely agree. Got a 2017 Boosted BRZ myself ;)

I am in love this subra BRZ😍

Great content! Keep it up! What happened to travel vlogs did i miss them?

You said you can get a r33 for the same price but the problem is unless you have a lot of cash saved up your not getting financing for a skyline at the price someone will want versus its actual value. Great video👍🏻

Love that new BC plate 😍

Nice colour. .love your vids guys.

great video as always Markus! been here since 10k and your quality just keeps getting better! ever thought of a cross canada road trip testing cars? alberta high horsepower, prairie drag racers, ontario and quebec track and drifting? etc etc

Man your really lucky driving on such sweet roads wish I could drive my car there

Man that sounds like a trumpet fart

Do you have someone taking those outside shots of the car as it drives by or is it that tripod that tracks the car?

nice car sounds great too.

I've got an 86, definitely got to turbo it :D

Great video. Subbed! I'm throwing a supercharger in mine! It def needs more power for sure!

Been your fan for quite a while now. Your content is on par with some of the best on KZfaq. Keep it up guys!

That trumpet exhaust

A lot to be said for a small turbo on a high high comp engine, as long as the tuning is good it's a great combo for the road

Sick 💪😎👌

you couldn't tell me that this rim/tire fitment isn't darn near perfect.

If anything, I feel like having a turbo Br-z will just create more problems 😂

Is that the stock rear bumper also id like to know where he found the spoiler for his car id like to get one for myself

Pretty much all 86/BRZ's are stock on the roads...finally saw a really nice turbo'd one the other week....lowered, had actual non prius wheels and tyres on and a good exhaust!!!

I think that brz should not sound like a wrx. This one spumds the best

It's always confused me why they made this without a turbo from day one as a standard item.

This is a really clean BRZ. and not over the top. And no Rocket Bunny kits ricing. Most concern of just turbocharging the stock engine is the pistons and con-rods are not suited for high boost. Those need to change if you are hitting 350bhp or close to 400bhp. 280bhp with boost is like more than enough for a car this light.

This can be called the BRZ STi if the engine spec is similar to the WRX STi. The stock final drive could be a tad shorter to reduce the 4000rpm torque dip. A good ECU reflash and better fuel delivery is needed. The stock fuel pump can be chirpy.

I love the rims. What are they? Thanks.

This channel should have WAYYYYYYYY more subs. Awesome stuff!

How did you capture perfect exhaust sound without wind noise? What mic? Placed how?

Does the exhaust tips not being centered bother anyone else?

I'm an older guy 55 years old I just picked up a BRZ 2015 with 35.000 kilometres for a great price from a kid in Ontario whats the best turbocharge kit name and make, do I buy for my new BRZ, also do I need to replace the stock muffler system to sound like the one in the video? I don't know anything about cars? this is my C19 project my budget is $ 2,500 thanks.

Very cool car, exactly what it should have been from factory. I purchased a used Cayman S (with 2 years warranty) but had looked at the BRZ. If this was an option from a dealer I would have likely went this route.

0:13 Club Curb Rash - A very big club! :-)

id have to say, when this car came out or rather before it even came out i wanted it soo bad, all my friends were hating on it though, i ended up buying an S2k instead. i loved it and ive always loved honda's engineering from bikes to cars but til this day i wish i wouldve got the GT86, the s2k was a very snappy wheelbase, which although its fun as hell its super scary doing some higher speed drifts. i love the styling so much of these 3 cars and eventually when the price drops enough ill pick one up. just a shell would be perfect. 1JZ swap for sure. id do a canyon carver/drift build... just my 2 cents on this car, ive always loved it but never had the chance to experience it yet... all of the factors that went into making it make it such a great car to hit surns and slide around, an STI rally awd version of the brz would be sweet, and some sort of better TRD GT86 would be cool too, then the FRS should do a street package, i think it would attract a lot of buyers if they took all 3 which are virtually the same and offered out of the box race packages!

Really wish Rocketeer would make a V6 kit for the ND MX5 RF already. You'd love that.

My NA 4 sentra sentra like this without the turbo fun car

There was a review for a supercharged or turbo charged brz vs a stock na s2000. People chose the stock na s2000 because it has enough power and reliability where as turbo/supercharged brz had the power but tons of issues to maintain that power. I think a subaru wrx turbo would be just as fun as a turbo brz imo.

it may solve most of my problems, but not my daddy issues ;)

i have those tires on my STi. Love em for the road! Not for the track.

What turbo kit did you use? Evo turbo sure, how did you get it to fit the brz engine?

My turbo miata, certainly solved mine. ;)

what kit is that? I like the power band on it

i have erectile dysfunction, will it solve this?

Gotta get that exhaust squared up

There's just sooooo many around I couldn't bring myself to buy one

How's the reliability? any major issues with cooling during track duty? (see savage geese video about the supercharged frs he got rid of...)

Dream car

Why put a turbo on this and not a good exhaust and UEL headers? It sounds like a cheap Honda.

I'll take off the equal length headers and swap it out to unequal length headers lol.

I agree put the rocket bunny and big wing

You have a turboed BRZ/FRS. They just started making turboed Miata ND's lol.

Marcus, this plus extra vs a nismo 370z stock ? Since price would put this in a similar range.

Noob question but if i put a turbo/super on a vehicle that does not already have one like the BRZ, will i always need to get that vehicle professionally tuned?

"... other than the awesome handling" That's... a side-note to you? lol

Review a well put together SRT-4 if you can. Most people hate them, some people love them. They're definitely a one trick pony but they are good at that one trick, and sound great while doing it.

There should be a FA30 Flat 6 engine, that would solve the BRZ/GT86 problem

Sounds like my boosted EM-1

I plan to buy a base model Toyota 86. No turbo. Never had anything but problems with turbo cars.

Marcus you getting gains bro? Arms lookin bigger.

does anyone have a pic of that spoiler but on a white 86?

How much horsepower can the standard transmission handle?

What kind of turbo is this? Link to the kit??

Never understood why they won't just release a turbo BRZ. With how well the relatively slow N/A one sold and still sells, one with a turbo would sell like mad.

they could literally drop a wrx engine in this and it be one of the best cars ever

Would adding a turbo ruin the handling of the car?

Drop the bass, BOWWOW chicka chicka OWWOWOWWOWO BUMP BUMP BOWOW

How how they not come out with a stock turbo brz STI yet? I mean cmon. I've had a prototype model kit if it for 3 years already lol.

Filmed in Nanaimo BC? Couple shots look familiar, curious.

why would you swap in an antiquated EJ that would require a ton a custom fab, not to mention a complete wiring harness & ECU into a BRZ? your better bet would be to build the FA's internals to handle more boost. I'm always on the more displacement bandwagon, but half a liter at the cost of 10years of RD is not a fair trade

The reason they never made it a turbo from the beginning was because this was supposed to be a comeback future version of the AE86. Hence, the FR layout: light, stomp on the gas hard and have it slide out on. In a sense it was to mimic the AE86. Also they wanted it to go the AE86 route for longevity, people could tune and add performance parts of their own liking. Having a turbo from the start would have made it pretty boring comparatively then that of a NA in which you can add induction rather than it coming straight out of the box. BRZ/FRS/GT86 was meant for those to customarily build rather than just buy with performance. The 86 back in the day came with only like 140 hp but you see people with AE86s' of all styles. That the route they went with this. Probably why you'll never see a turbo GT86.

Kano WIns said why no BRZ turbo? My guess is that was part of the deal between Toyota and Subaru. Similarly, Subaru could up the sales on the Impreza/XV (and other Subies) by switching out the 150ish horsepower motor for the BRZ's 200 horsepower. It's sorely needed as the current safety-driven models keep getting heavier and slower than previous generations.

What boost was being made? Looked through all comments, but didn't see it...i wouldn't think much boost is needed, 8-10psi at most to keep it livable...and yes, I would put a rear muffler back on the car...otherwise nicely done

what did you mean by a little bit of rubbing?

Do a review on the 2015+ STI man :)

I like the BRZ, I like it with a turbo more but I'd rather have a supercharged S2000 if I could fit in a little car.

What turbo does it have ? What year evo ?

I want a gt86 but want to keep it N/A a high compression build would be nice imo

What turbo kit and who is it made by?

Any eestimates on 0 to 60 runs and or 1/4 mile
