      Honestly man i want a harrop supercharger kit instead. its the cleanest boosted kit, high quality twin screw core. uses the alternator pulley to pull, no turbo lag. and it basically adds very little weight, its a red or black aluminum intake like the refreshed 1st gens with the supercharger integrated inside. the core is capable of supporting up to about 500-560whp from what i understand.

    Definitely inspiring to see your build! Regarding the simplicity, it reminds me a lot of my old Fiesta st I slapped a bigger turbo on. I have a new BRZ now, and looking to supercharge it one day. Hope to see you around Orlando sometime!

    Great update and super impressed with how it’s holding up. I have the SME turbo kit on my 23 brz for 3 months now and really love it also. I really baby it cause I’m worried about any issues but I also track my car so it’s gotten a beating. Runs so well and I’m super happy I did it. Seeing videos like this also makes me happy on my choice. Cheers 👍

    I agree that putting a turbo on it from factory makes no sense from a business standpoint but also because it changes the car into what it isnt supposed to be. It has a purpose, it does it well, and if someone doesn't understand that, get the supra.
    Those who want to turbocharge a brz/gr86 and then add a sound system and add sound dampening all over the place and put the car on bags should have just got the supra in the end. The characteristic of the car would start leaning into that car anyways but the supra, from factory, would still be better in most cases.
    But modding a BRZ to your liking is what the BRZ is all about too so its fine, but just know that the supra exists for a reason. For those that want sports cars with all the extra bells and whistles(aka sports-luxury)

      Difference being you can buy a gr86 for like 30k and build it up to smoke a supra for upwards of 45k and still have 15k leftover as a difference in price from a 60k supra while still getting 4 seats and godly handling. Except in snow.... this car cannot do snow on stock tires...

    • @lutenit24
      @lutenit24 2 місяці тому +3

      This comment makes zero sense. A turbo brz build is no way near comparable to a new Supra. Completely different builds, motors, handeling, and literally everything else. Like those aren’t even accurate comparisons. If you want a turbo box motor 4 banger, a Supra isn’t the solution 😂 the new Supra paired with that B58 is basically a bmw in sound and feel. The sound and feel of turbo brz is absolutely incomparable.

    • @vyviid
      @vyviid 2 місяці тому

      Still a very different car with very different driving dynamics, but I do agree adding that much weight to the car is a bit redundant, but the power/ weight ratio increase from a turbo is 100% worth it.

      If you do preventative maintence any car is good. Many cars come with destined failures for example brz low oil pressure, and also the Cummins intake heater bolt. Take care of it and don’t push it past its capabilities and you will be fine. By the way most cars die from low oil pressure.

    Have near 40K miles with my SBD Turbo Kit and still holding without issues 2015 Scion FR-S. Are the rods stronger in the FA24 compared to the weak rods in FA20?

    • @B_levan
      @B_levan  2 місяці тому

      I dont know exactly, but I'd imagine they are because these motors have been proving to be able to handle much more power!

    • @mbrishke
      @mbrishke 2 місяці тому

      They're not necessarily "stronger". They have the same thickness, but the fa20 has a kind of bend towards the top where the piston connect, and the fa24 is completely straight, which makes the rings much less likely to break.

    • @metachat7431
      @metachat7431 Місяць тому

      Sure thing! The rods in the FA24 are way tougher than those in the FA20. The FA20 had a bit of a weak spot with its rods, especially if you wanted to push the engine hard. But Subaru stepped up with the FA24, giving it stronger rods that can handle more power and torque. So if you're planning to add some serious horsepower or just want to tune it up, the FA24 is built to handle it without breaking a sweat.
