How Much Does It Cost To Turbocharge a BRZ/FRS/GT86?
Рет қаралды 86,452
3 жыл бұрынAs always I like to share this information with you guys to so if these builds are something that you want to emulate you know roughly how much it will cost you. This. is my 2013 Subaru BRZ that we got back in February of 2020 and since picking up the car, turbocharging it is something that I have been wanting to do. So lets cover all the parts of the build and see just how much I spent to only turbocharge the car.

I spent $3900 through a shop for the turbokit/install/dyno tuned. Then I spent like $2800 for a vented hood/ 19 row oil cooler/ P3 boost gauge/Radium catch can/ Tsudo op/Tanabe catless fp/ Magnaflow cb exhaust. So about $6700 for all of that and 39 month's later at 300whp it's still running marvelous

car looks good, and its basically the same concept of upgrading power for a Miata...it wont make a TON, but it makes it more FUN...for the price, it kills me how much it costs for hp on some of these platforms (vs say, my Focus ST with that kind of money would have a built block, big turbo, and push over 500whp easy)... but one thing i did not see you mention which usually costs a good chunk, is FMIC. It looks like it has one unless thats just the radiator that was upgraded and maintaining low charge temps is basically one of THE most important steps on a boosted car. A FMIC is basically synonymous with any boosted upgrade...

Don't forget to change the weak-ass rods the stock pistons are ok... Some people have been lucky with stock rods. The driveshaft will explode change that too and oil-cooler is a must. - If you go boost E85 will be beneficial and will help the engine survive being boosted.
@burakoshimazaki Жыл бұрын
Driveshaft should be fine. Did you mean the axles? E85 helps with the octane but degraded the fueling system and the DI seals over time, and can cause buildup if the engine is not brought up to temperature. (I.E. driving only a couple miles, small short trips etc.)

I’m so confused why the whp #s are so low on these turbo’d brzs ? .. is there no way to get 375-400ish whp reliably ? What drivetrain components can you upgrade on these ?
@burakoshimazaki Жыл бұрын
The stock engines are very high compression and the connecting rods are a bit on the weak side especially when having too much low end torque. They are cast and have a unique angle so an improper tune or too much low end power or detonation can bend them. The block itself can accept around 500 despite being open deck design. However octane and connecting rods are the biggest limitation. That why most people who do not have special built engines will typically not exceed 300 to 350 whp. Most will be around 270 give or take 30. Also, the transmission will tend to break 4th gear if loading too much torque into it (in the manual). When aiming above 400 nm of torque it is best to consider upgrading to a fairlady transmission or just go a bit easy on the stock one.

I've seen a few "SUPER CHARGED" BRZ. Why didn't you go that route?
@Smeedia 3 жыл бұрын
I debated it, for my I knew I would want to make more power with the car later down the road and with a supercharger your fairly limited on what you can do. The turbo set up makes it much easier. Either turn the boost up or swap the turbo and the car can easily make heeps more power 🙏

Mostly with superchargers they are also less efficient. That being said I love my e85 sprintex setup. It makes 300whp and 250wtq on 13psi and e85. But the power and torque curve is really fun for back roads and street

What features??? All you need is AC.. Literally the only function from OEM you need for a daily. Did they quote you how much a 1jz/2jz swap wouldve been?? That's crazy that this thing with 10k still makes less than 300whp. Aren't stock 2JZ's and RB26's like close to 300whp stock?? No hate, just crazy they put such a small hp motor in a car in this day and age when your average soccer mom SUV has 400+ hp. I was really hoping they'd switch over to the WRX engine soon, but I guess they really have no plans for that.
@Smeedia 3 жыл бұрын
Totally agree but engine swaps are never easy as they seem, to properly swap I'd guess it would be around 15Kish taking into account fab work and smaller items what would be overlooked, definitely been done 🙏

How much os labor
@Smeedia 3 жыл бұрын
For me $0, did everything myself. But as an estimate average ship rate is around $120 and we'll say the kit is 15 hours labor. Labor would fall around $1800 or so

Meh, if the goal is having a “fast car” then just buy a fast car or at least one that’s a lot more tuner friendly. Doing any type of power mods to an 86/BRZ is absolutely pointless.
