SUPERCHARGING a Toyota GT86 Fixes the Power Problem
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- I'm certainly not alone in my thoughts that stock GT86's don't have enough power. Toyota and Subaru finally listened with the new model, but the old 2.0L barely had the power of 4 harnessed children, being left behind by the similar S2000 and ND MX5.
This one however, is vastly improved thanks to an HKS centrifugal supercharger.

I kinda wish lexus had done a turbo version of the 86. It would be a good way to justify the price hike for the power
Ooh yeah that would have been awesome
GR86 2025
Why would anyone turbo this. You supercharge it like this guy. Night and day difference
I wish I could subscribe multiple times, you deserve it
Haha thanks man
Good stuff keep it up
Thanks
Now that is a great car!
Great review too!
This is the sort of car I would enjoy driving over the remutaka hill in, not crazy power but a great all round package!
Yeah for sure
Ohhhhhh yes, brilliant idea. I bet this was fun to drive!
Absolutely, really cool
Great video I owned one from new when they were first bought out and the power wasn't impressive, I was always curious how it would be with forced induction. I test drove a new GR86 the other week and the new displacement solves the problem, it's a real gem.
Yeah hopefully gonna do the new gr86 at some point too
Another great video mate 🙂 thanks, I rented an auto 86 on a trip to Auckland once, the auto was actually decent for a torque converter, the steering was amazing and way better than cars price point would suggest but you are so right… it needed more power!
Yup agree
@@KiwiCarLife I had a manual V35 Skyline coupe with everything done on it, Supercharger, suspension etc etc etc, shame I sold it recently, would have been a good car for you to review
That road through Whitby is a good windy road
Indeed
I really like the old 86.
I love the new 86 even more but I'm really hanging out for the G16E-GTS powered 86 that Toyota is currently rumoured to be developing.
That would be very cool
Hi. I've been following all KiwiCarlife episodes. Please give us Mitsubishi 8Gen Legnum/Galant VR4. I know you will give good compliment on that. Thanks
Maybe one day, got an Evo 5 review coming
_another great review, can I ask are the modded power ratings you provide @ wheels?_
Nah that's a rough estimate me and the owner made at the crank
Going in for a dyno run next weekend. Will update
@@ThomasWitham awesome 👍🏼
certainly
Lovely car
Would you do PFL and FL comparisons to CU2’s?
Yeah already done that
I just bought this car!!!
This exact car :)
@@freedasquish5643 very cool!
Kiwi
Yes
Okay I have a couple of questions
A. call me a idiotic car enthusiast but an automatic? Seriously? Who would Supercharge an automatic Toyota 86
B. I would love to do this to an 86 if I got one but I would be scared with reliabilty.
C. This is such a cool car keep up the great videos!
Yeah bit odd I know but was still cool
I like that wing, what is it? It looks shorter than the Australian Aero wing.
It’s a Tommy Kaira
Yup
Is it worth getting a 86/brz and supercharging it like this one or would you be better off spending a little more and getting a 370z?
Having lived with both, the 86 is much more of an all round package, and to live with on a day to day basis it’s so much easier. Driving wise the 86 is much more of a go kart to just throw around. I’ve only owned that one for 5000km so i’m yet to really have any long term ownership experience, but it’ll be interesting to see how reliability compares. Over here that was a lot more than a 370z would cost lmao
Personally, while this is cool, it would just cost too much to make reliable. And would still get walked by a stock 370z. It's up to you
I bet you have looked into transplanting the Lexus V8 into the Toyota ?
Haha nah doubt it would fit
I guess the reason as to why the gt86 got a underpowered engine was because Toyota knew that this car would be popular in the aftermarket scene, in terms of power mods.
Yeah that's true, or possibly because they didn't want to make it faster than the WRX or STi
Did u do the supercharger kit the guy who owns it now is claiming he did all the work
Nah he definitely didn’t haha it came like that from Japan
@@KiwiCarLife ahaha
What's the cost to add the supercharger, and with that extra cost could you just get something that is better as stock?
Yes I’d say just buy something faster stock
Thanks@@KiwiCarLife now the tricky question, what would you say is the short list of great to drive, more powerful rwd cars for comparable money to a super charged GT86/BRZ?
@@JakobusVdL Lexus ISF, E46 and E92 M3, C63 AMG, 130i, M235i
@KiwiCarLife good list, thanks. I'm not sure they're all 'in budget' but will have a look on trade-me
Not gonna lie, everything was going great until you mentioned it's an automatic lol.
HAHAH I mean fair enough a manual is always better but hey it wasn't terrible
Automatic? My condolences.
Haha
Automatics are pointless
Oh are they now
Mates its a GTS not a GT
Yes
