oh, yeeeeeeeeeeeeah. take a cue from OEM. great idea.

 

Have you test drove a GT86 or BRZ? I suspect the maintenance costs will be noticeably higher on the Evo.

 

The fluids alone are enough to make you wanna sell the car LOL

 

I'm actually looking forward to that with the swapped FD. Just oil, tranny and diff from time to time.

So nice.

 

That's all Evo is, except you also have the Tcase. Which is easy enough to fill if you fill it through the drain plug....

 

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or if you're serious...?


I test drove a BRZ, I'm kinda over it. they dyno around 155-160whp stock, and pick up next to no power with bolt on's + tune.. with its weight and that power, its no faster than a NB miata. not to mention the injector seal issue that I brought up 2 times in this thread already

 

Your LS swapped FD needs a thread. Have you started the build?

 

Supercharged they're very quick. I know of two people locally that supercharged.

 

To save time I plan on buying one locally that's already built and track ready.

Right. You also have to bleed the ACD pump. I'm just a lazy bastard.

I wouldn't even bother with running that car N/A.

I prefer supercharged over turbo, but that's just personal preference for street driving. On track, there's no denying turbo is king.

 

Also easy enough if you have a vacuum bleeder that is powered by compressed air. Suck the reservoir dry, refill, pull fresh fluid through the line, ship it.

 

miata still sounds like the better option if both supercharged

 

For just power? Sure. I disagree that it's king in all aspects, however.

The powerband with a turbo can be peaky, which is less than desirable under some track conditions. The smoother power curve of a supercharger is often better in most cases.

I tried using a vacuum bleeder before, you often get false positives when is draws in air from the threads of the bleeder valve. Though, that was for brakes when you are trying to get the air bubbles out. Maybe that would work well for the ACD.

 

The FRS/BRZ can be very fast with FI and setup well. It's a great chassis but yes that motor is a dog in NA form.

Here is an example at one of the local tracks. 1:59 is VERY fast for a street car on this track. Video below that is my buddy in his 991 GT3 (only alignment and brake fluid upgrades) at the same track for comparison (he does 1:58's)

NA BRZ's do something like 2:1X driven well. I currently do 2:07 (Street tires) in my mildly modified 10 and did a best of 2:02 (R-compounds) in my Evo 8 back in the day. A very well setup Evo 8/9, with good tires are capable of 1:57-1:59 at this track.

 

Very cool. Bryan, what does your friend in the Porsche use for timing? AiM Solo?
