I watch all the GR86/BRZ content on UA-cam and this is easily the most sophisticated and well thought out build, Can’t wait for the track footage so we can really see the benefits !
Tempted to boost mine! I noticed your windshield. After about 55 track days I replaced my windshield because it was so pitted from the track. Now I'll have good looking videos again.
Exhaust is surprisingly quiet, which imo is great for this car lol. Can’t beat the sound of those turbo noises. I have watched the build and good job on putting all this info out for everyone, I don’t have an 86 but might get one to fuck around with in the future.
@@phelpsgarage4202 interesting, I have the GR cat back and love the somewhat loud rumble especially during cold starts maybe I'll upgrade to a louder cat back when I go turbo thanks for the response and awesome build 🤙
Appears all the work you've done prior to adding the turbocharger has paid off in spades, as most do it backwards and scramble how to tame the animal . Best on the upcoming tract event you'll be doing and don't worry about the Vette 😁.
Love the build brothsr. I'm really tempted to just save for an rb swap. I don't feel great about these motors and the exhaust doesnt sound nearly as good as an rb. But you did a damn good job on this build. Keep it up bro
Love the progress, can’t wait to see this thing rip on track! Now with the new found power are you considering additional safety like a roll cage and 6-pt harness etc?
Good to see it’s running well with the turbo. Definitely a future upgrade for mine. But right now, I’m having a hard time with deciding on one of the most basic mods, specifically wheel fitment and figuring out what wheel specs really work. Seen all kinds of info online and on forums, but can’t seem to confidently narrow it down and make a purchase. Is 18x9.5 the widest you can actually run on these cars run without rubbing? What offset? Spacers? What about a 17inch? Would it clear a future upgrade with a brembo BBK? Thinking about taking advantage of these Black Friday sales, but of course don’t want to make a costly mistake!
@phelpsgarage4202 Are these assuming I also swap out the stock suspension and control arms for clearance? I’m torn between a set of 18x9.5 +40 TE37SL’s and 17x9 +48 APEX SM-10RS’s. I remember seeing the video where you mentioned that you prefer the feel of the 18’s, but the current deal on those apex rims is killer right now!
@ for me personally I like tires that have a stiffer sidewall, but that’s just what I like. The 17s aren’t bad but I feel the slightly taller sidewall makes the tire a tad bit lazy
Please upgrade the clutch! There have been many people slip their clutch on this turbo kit and over rev their motor which blows it up. Clutch is super super important, chuck in a light flywheel too
when installing coilovers are you suppose to tighten the two bolts that go from the knuckle to strut when the car is on the ground? because i did mine when the car was in the air
@@phelpsgarage4202 i'm just hearing a clunk noise over big bumps, could it be the pre load on the strut? i did the alignment too , the only mistake i didn't tighten the top 3 bolts on the ground but everything is tight so idk why it's clunking
ever have an leaks from your valve cover? i got one from mine and not sure if it’s coming from my spark plug tube seals or just the valve cover. Either way the dealership told me to kick rocks and i’m struggling to find a private shop that will work on it
Never got a chance to get those Hoosiers up to temp. Curious what your top speed will be. Coming out of oak tree at VIR I just keep my arm out the window in my 86 because that 0.75 mile is just a drag race which the 86 isn’t good at.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Be careful showing where you live online, brother.
True.. with basic information you can almost find anyone.. I appreciate you looking out

It’s a lot of fun!!

Yeah it’s super quiet with the turbo. Thanks!!
I was always under the impression that adding a turbo plus headers would make the car sound louder
@ nope, the turbo acts like a muffler
@@phelpsgarage4202 interesting, I have the GR cat back and love the somewhat loud rumble especially during cold starts maybe I'll upgrade to a louder cat back when I go turbo thanks for the response and awesome build 🤙
@ you bet!
Finally! Awesome video man love it can't wait for the dyno and track
Thanks! Coming soon

😅 yep! I’m excited and nervous at the same time.
@@phelpsgarage4202 I haven't been following as closely, are you running the stock clutch still?

Yes in the near future
Awesome build! Looking forward to the Sebring video!
Beginning of the year
This video makes me want to turbo my gr86 so bad 😩
It’s a lot of fun!!
Gosh sounds and looks like a blast man! Will you be dynoing it? Can’t wait for the track video!
Yes in the future I’ll be putting it on the dyno.

With apex wheels you’ll clear most BBK. I’m running 18x9.5 et38 with a 3mm space and it doesn’t rub with a 255/35/18 RE71RS

Cant wait to see you drive your car on the track.

Please upgrade the clutch! There have been many people slip their clutch on this turbo kit and over rev their motor which blows it up. Clutch is super super important, chuck in a light flywheel too
I have a clutch and flywheel sitting here
I have a Tomoika racing turbo kit making 12psi right now, it makes me want a big brake kit.
I bet it’s fast 💨
Seems really quick. I would think that there will be a learning curve on track.
100% and it’s a track I haven’t been on since 2017 or 18.. temps will be in the 30/50 degrees.. not so great but mainly getting data
Awesome, when my car comes out of warranty i'll look at doing this. It probably destroys everything on track now
I’m excited for it… and a little nervous 😬
Insaneee. How much more power you think you can reasonably give it if your 2nd gear pulls look like that? lol
9 psi would spin 3rd.. I’m thinking the tires can’t be warm enough
What exhaust are you running? It's not quiet but not too loud either perfect😊
3 inch HKS
I wanna know about that dual gauge holder setup
Import image racing
forget linear power bands , this is how it should have come from the factory.
I agree!!! 😂
Did you do something to get low compression ratio?
No it’s a bone stock FA24
when installing coilovers are you suppose to tighten the two bolts that go from the knuckle to strut when the car is on the ground? because i did mine when the car was in the air
I did mine when it was in the air with the wheel off
@@phelpsgarage4202 and the top 3 bolts you tighten on the ground?
@ yeah
@@phelpsgarage4202 i'm just hearing a clunk noise over big bumps, could it be the pre load on the strut? i did the alignment too , the only mistake i didn't tighten the top 3 bolts on the ground but everything is tight so idk why it's clunking
@ sway bar endlink retighten it
You can just use an o2 simulator to get rid of the CEL?
At one point you were able too but not with the new update
@@phelpsgarage4202 weird if it works on stock ECU you would think ecutek would make no difference
ever have an leaks from your valve cover? i got one from mine and not sure if it’s coming from my spark plug tube seals or just the valve cover. Either way the dealership told me to kick rocks and i’m struggling to find a private shop that will work on it
No leaks here. I only have 6k miles on it
@ mines only 9k🫠

Yeah it’s hard getting them up to temp on the street. Hopefully the turbo helps me with a drag race lol
I’m 126-127 on the back straight of VIR in my 22 BRZ. I think I can eek out a little more if I brake a little bit later
Whats ya mpg haha
Driving on the HWY with E85 about 20 mpg no boost… but it’s hard to stay out of it lol
@@phelpsgarage4202 whats it like in boost
11:00
First
Thank you!
Uh uh uuup! Lol
She moves for a low amount of boost
Want a free Toyota 1UZ VVT from my LS400? 🥤🍿🥸
