In this video we do another update video and talk about the P and L turbo kit for the GR86. #gr86 #turbo #PandL #turbokit #toyota #brz #subaru #fa24 #G30-660 #garretturbo
Austin Palmerton WAS making 600wheel. Then a rod decided it was time to say ight imma head out…. It lasted 11,000 hard miles. He literally windowed the block last week. He’s now going K-Swap.
You can find some nice windy roads in georgia ,I live in Florida and when I visited Georgia when I had my 17 brz it was so much fun too many straight roads in Florida
You are doing it the right way. The car will be a blast on the track with all your seat time🔥 Take care of your family during with all those big upgrade in your life 🚗💥💨🔥
Excited to see the kit put on the car, interested on the 660. Been thinking of their 550 for a quick spool but keeping the boost low and constant throughout the rev range. Don’t really like the torque graph I’m seeing some people make with harrop for example, I want a torque graph that’s as straight as possible
Yeah, I just don’t wanna make that torque way down low because that’s when stuff will break. It makes the car feel fast, but the car doesn’t like it, especially on a stock motor high compression.
@phelpsgarage4202 yeah it makes sense that a bigger turbo is actually better though since the delayed spool and stuff. One of the VW guys I follow made 600WHP on a stock 1.8T and never had any issues with the rods because it was "so lazy." Makes sense that you could find a balance in between.
Hey I love you vids, I'm so excited to see the turbo get put on. I've personally been eyeing the JDL one for a while now (mainly for the catted uel turbo manifold and I have a single exit cat back from them). I'm kind of copying your build with my 23 brz. Right now I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some FA 510 or 520CR haven't decided yet. I've been in contact with Fortune Auto and they recommended me similar spec to what you have. 8-9k front and 9-10 k rear with longer stokes and a helper spring. After seeing your other video where you talked about how a sway bar up front made you car to stiff I was wondering your opinion with you current 8k front and 9k rear spring rate and if you would recommend it or change it based on your extensive track day testing. Do you ever think its too stiff at all? I will be basically have the same aero as you, but that's down the road. Again love the vids, big supporter of the monster your making!!
I appreciate the kind words and you taking your time watching the videos. I will say this the car is faster when it’s softer… more grip, but there’s a trade-off with aero you need the stiffer springs to take the extra down load. This helps at speed but at slow speed, it hurts. It’s one of those pick your poison type of deals. I sacrifice the low-end grip/speed for all the high-end stuff. I plan for go with even more aero so I can be faster in the corners! I recommend the white line swaybar kit, which I believe was 20mm in the front and 18mm in the rear to me that felt really balanced and neutral. Hope this helps
Good luck on your move and I hope the family has a smooth transition! Looking forward to seeing you at Road Atlanta and Atlanta Motorsports Park! (I also live in Georgia lol)
Best of luck with the build and the move to Georgia. Much better track there with the elevation changes and come back to Sebring during the winter, when it's not 4,000 degrees out 🔥🌡🥵🥴🤢😂.
@@phelpsgarage4202 No, I'm in Florida on the Treasure Coast and resided in Sarasota for 40 years. I have a friend that lives adjacent to one of the lakes in Sebring and has a Viper.
There will come a point to where I can’t push the car any further with 400ish horsepower. Eventually, I will change platforms once my ability to drive a fast car at the limit. This car is a stepping stone for me to get there. I don’t plan on selling the car unless someone offered me a stupid amount of money.
@@phelpsgarage4202 Thanks for the reply, you have been helping me decide on a GR86. Why didn't you go full cage? And would do something different as far as seats/rollbar if you started over? I am debating driving it with all OEM safety vs going rollbar/serats/harness, etc.

I saw that. My goals to keep it below 400.

I feel you on that!
Hoping this kit and the 660 holds up well, especially with how hard you push the car. Stoked to see! 🤘🏼
You are doing it the right way. The car will be a blast on the track with all your seat time🔥
Take care of your family during with all those big upgrade in your life
🚗💥💨🔥
Appreciate the kind words. I can’t wait!
FINALLY THE VIDEO IVE BEEN TRYING AND WAITING FOR MINE COMES IN 2 WEEKS
i actually drove 3 hours to their shop and have most of my stuff, just waiting on intercooler, turbo and a few parts.
What turbo did you go with?
@@phelpsgarage4202 I think it's the precision
Welcome to GA! Looking forward to the turbo build.
Thank you!
Congrats on all the big changes! Looking forward to videos from Road Atlanta. Best of luck on the move!
Appreciate the support!
So excited! Love to see a detail install video or progression videos. I would love to add a supercharger or turbo to my GR86.
I’ll do a install video with my opinion of the kit soon 🤞🏻
plz full install and performance videos!!!!!
That’s the goal

@phelpsgarage4202 bruh that's so profound lol. Never put 2 and 2 together like that but it makes perfect sense.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 with E85 I can get away with a lot but I still don’t want to push it

@@MeltingRubberZ28 yeah it’s a cylinder pressure down low that will hurt things. It’s OK to make the power up top.

everyone out there!
Cant wait to see turbo intalled. Good luck with your move.
Thank you!

Thanks! That’s the plan. You located in Georgia?

@@warrenlucier5796 we go to UTC all the time!!!
Best of luck on the build and move!
Thank you!
See you at Road Atlanta in a few months👀🤓 And yes feelings will be hurt especially at road atlanta…
Hell yeah, I’m excited. I’m gonna try to do a baseline run without the turbo kit and get familiarized with the track and then go boosted.
@@phelpsgarage4202 Thats a great idea. Can’t wait to see the car on track, best of luck on the move.!
I already boosted my gr86 (G25-550) ， but the bigger injectors can’t hold idle rpm easily by ecutek
What injectors?
Good luck with the move. Excited to see what an extra 100-150 hp does for you
Thank you! I’m excited for it
I've been waiting for this video ever since you said you were going to turbo it.
It took forever to get the kit!
@@phelpsgarage4202 I figured it was probably life or something. I'm excited to see you finish this.
Since you mentioned heat management and staying in a low psi did you consider a supercharger?
No not really.. it’s probably easier to but I’ve always been a turbo type and they make more power with less stress.
Awesome thanks for the update, any new thoughts on long term ownership of the car? Still thinking about Z06 or other cars?

@@user-iz3qg6sv3f just keep the stock seatbelts if you go with a harness and street drive it. Eventually, the car will get a cage.
@@phelpsgarage4202 thanks!
Looking forward to seeing the turbo journey on the track. Very curious on how it holds up
Same here 🤞🏻
Looking forward to it.
Once my garage gets that cluttered, it takes me years to get back to actually doing anything. 😂
It kills me to see it like this 😂
Which clutch and flywheel did you go with?
Nothing crazy I believe it’s the ACT stuff not sure of the part number. Everything is packed up.
What? No JDL?!
No I’ll go over why I went with the P and L turbo kit
well Georgia will have squirmier roads at least. All the roads in Florida are straight lines. XD
Amen to that!
