As much as I love and respect Smokey and Top Secret gotta say JUN still takes the cake on insane gt86 builds the Synergy v8 swapped JUN gr86/brz has a bespoke synergy v8 with motorcycle cylinder heads and custom block it revs to 11,600rpm making something over 350hp it's about as close to an f1 engine you can buy that's direct plug and play drop in for the gt86 as you'll ever find and sounds marvelous as well as additional benefits such as lighter weight lower center of gravity moves weight balance 2% rearward and easier to maintain more accessible than a boxer
Also just so you know and for the record he wasn't often caught by bosses at trust/greddy working on his own projects he got caught once and thought he was going to get fired but the TOP management i fact encouraged him to continue and gave him access/ability/space to continue developing his own parts after hours under one condition he had to keep it a SECRET and after a year developing his own parts after hours at trust/greddy in SECRET for the TOP management he left to start his own shop and thus the name Top Secret carried over
My favorite aero kit on the 86 is actually the controversial OEM Aero Pack, only available in Asian, ANZ, European markets. I know you said you hated that wing in the past, but I reckon it’ll be sought after in the future, similar to the S chassis Aero Pack/Type X kits
Modelista for sure I got the rear spats because of your video I love the way they little groves match up with the stock body got my 86 late 2023 and loved the car ever since your videos def helped me get into the zn6 platform a lil more 🙏🏽
Best kit would be something mixed around with other kits for sure. 86 has so many options to play around with to really dial in your own style and taste!
Uras kit is my favourite, very unique and flows very well with the car considering the bell bottom style, futago is nice aswell but not a fan of the front bumper pretty much being a 13-16 bumper that was molded into a bell bottom kit
Futago line kit best by far imo. I saw marcus (same guy at 3:15 in the vid i think) rocking it on instagram awhile ago and absolutely fell in love. Really wish the kit was more available but the rarity definetly makes it cooler.
Trd kit mainly the fender garnish idk I just always wanted them but I got into the 86 late 2021 so they were almost non existent and now I have a gr86 due to getting brake checked omw home from work 💀
I feel that. I think he may not have had a super strong passion for the chassis at this time as he ended up selling this car. Who knows though, I don't want to jump to conclusions. It really seems like he tried to keep everything as simple and clean as possible.
my favorite 86 kit has gotta be the origin v2 kit thats going to release soon, despite nick not liking the kit i love it ir reminds me of the s14 and s15 origin labo kits and is very nostalgic cant wait to get my hands on one
You don't need a modified car to get that feeling. With both of my stock daily drivers (now '19 WRX & before' 04 GTI 1.8t)...I ALWAYS think/thought when driving (both cars), "...this sht is about to break...". You don't need a modified car to get that feeling. I guess it's a good thing I didn't get the Saab 9-3 Aero Sportcombi I really wanted...talk about worrying. 🏁
For wide-body kits on the 1st gen 86/BRZ, Varis is probably my favorite. For non-widebody kits, I think the Zele kit looks great on the GT86 but the STI kit suits the BRZ better. That said, I think a non-wide body BRZ benefits more from an appropriately sized front splitter and wing.
Lot's of good takes right here. I think I will have to agree on the Varis kit for widebody, I love the lines, it's super aggressive but everything flows so nicely.

Welcome to my channel and thank you for the constructive feedback! I will definitely be getting a new mic soon, this one is definitely not the best haha.
Reliability isn't really about skill its about money. Its very easy to overbuild a car. If you wanna run 1000 HP reliable then build an engine for 1500-2000HP
I want smokey mods on mine but i don’t have that 400mph money🤣🤣 I want to import a gt86 from japan but i dont know any other websites than beforward and trade car view
With the video tittle "Top Secret GT86 Is Insane" by a man who built twin turbo V12 supra... reinforced FA20 with turbo is not what I expected, disappointing in fact.
It’s actually bri-do if you were to say it correctly in Japanese, which I speak. There was plenty more content in this video to comment on. Why so negative?
The TRD Kit for the GR86 goes good, aggressive yet stylish
god damn Smokey Nagata hitting 400MPH on the 86 holy moly
Mosin Nagata
u mean kmh?
I was like damnnn, then I heard Horse Power 😅

Glad my videos have been able to help! Love me some Modelista!
the GT86 is my favorite car ever. Its nice to see this
Me too brother, me too
The Uras kit just does it for me, such smooth and streamlined lines, really good looking
love me some URAS
Smokey is the man. Simple clean styling, high quality. Great video 👍
Best kit would be something mixed around with other kits for sure. 86 has so many options to play around with to really dial in your own style and taste!
the guy who tuned my 86 ( and many many others) always told me if you don't go over 280 engine horsepower, everything should stay solid
I have a turbo gr86 and it makes more than 280 and it’s holding up good aside from an annoying oil leak currently
@@CapeFilms yes i think the FA24 is a bit stronger then the FA20, that i was talking about
This channel is the definition of cozy!
That's a great compliment. Thank you for that!

fav aero kit is the chargespeed type 2 non-widebody. I like the 4th brake light relocation and it’s sum different.
my finnish ass wants some ice cream mushroom things
Jätäkkö jämät?

Only one car jesus drove and it was a j series accord. ❤
HAHA fair enough
Fun fact, the car currently resides in Thailand.
Don’t send the mushroom I want the plastic suntory whiskey 😂
Real🤣
From day 1, I was like I need a motor swap. Love the car. How about a 4.0 boxer motor?
Yeaaahhhhh. I just need the HKS turbo kit and ill be happy... for a while
Love the videos keep it up Nick🤙🤙
Thank you man, glad you are enjoying them😁
6:47 if it has VEGETA by Podravka then it truly has everything.
love the culture on this channel
Damn thats a great compliment. I work really hard to keep a good vibe over here. Thank you for being a part of it!
You could say smokey was working on his personal projects at Greddy in "top secret" ;)
Trd kit mainly the fender garnish idk I just always wanted them but I got into the 86 late 2021 so they were almost non existent and now I have a gr86 due to getting brake checked omw home from work 💀
Uras wing. It flows with the chassie
I'd say it's a nod to Top Secrets ol D1 S15...
Smokey Nagata is a Legend!! High Respect for him!
Went to the paint store to get thinner. Didn't work
Somethin' funny 🗣🗣‼️‼️
Not so "Top Secret" anymore now huh ?
This guy hahaha
love ur videos man !
Appreciate you! Thanks for taking time to let me know you are enjoying them😁
Only thing fresher than the Top Secret GT86 is Nick's haircut!
LMAO
The 86 specs are neat but I really can't stand what he did to it visually. There's so much else he could've done.
I feel that. I think he may not have had a super strong passion for the chassis at this time as he ended up selling this car. Who knows though, I don't want to jump to conclusions. It really seems like he tried to keep everything as simple and clean as possible.
@@Nick_Ramirez Fair enough, there's also much worse he could've done 💀
@@RyuusanFT86 Yeah not my favorite shop build but at lest its not ass haha

It looks like they have made some cool changes to the V2, looking forward to seeing it in person!
The only reason I reach the end of your videos is because of the outro...nah jk love your vids

good morning nick. thanks for the video
Thank YOU!
400mph 🤣🤣 sick build and great video as always bro
Thank you brother. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Wish you could send me those shin chan socks and some flavored smokes lol
Maaaan maybe that should be the next giveaway
Color do be kinda is be slapping
The mic bonk at the end actually made me laugh out loud 😭
🤣 had to leave it in
Adding a comment to beat the algorithm 👌
Favorite kit on the 86 is easily Robot Craftsman widebody,
The thing looks like it's sculpted the wind.
You don't need a modified car to get that feeling.

babe wake up, my car made it to nick’s video 👀
King
Some good ol' Chin Chan
The realest
can you do a gr86 bodykit list? also why you arent really talking about the platform?
My favorite kit is the one I don't have yet. I'm naked someone send me one.
For wide-body kits on the 1st gen 86/BRZ, Varis is probably my favorite. For non-widebody kits, I think the Zele kit looks great on the GT86 but the STI kit suits the BRZ better. That said, I think a non-wide body BRZ benefits more from an appropriately sized front splitter and wing.

most people will probably only reach 140 mph tops in the gt86, even at 140 she gets squirrely
lol the build you hated on looks dope AF. What you smokin'?
Stancenation x Aimgain v2 for wide body and Futago for straight body for sure. Currently working on my own custom kit for the drift guys!
ooo lemme see the kit!

Nothing wrong with over fenders… it just depends on which kit but to each your own I guess
You are right, there are plenty of good looking overs! I just personally prefer stock body for the most part. Maybe im boring.

Reliability isn't really about skill its about money. Its very easy to overbuild a car. If you wanna run 1000 HP reliable then build an engine for 1500-2000HP
You still need skill and thought behind your work no matter what you are doing when modifying an engine, money helps.
My jaw dropped when you said 400mph
hahahahahah
I love these
