No turbo for the BRZ?
I saw this on Speedhunters and I was disappointed for Subaru leaving the engine stock.
http://speedhunters.com/archive/2012...i-concept.aspx Looks like no turbo for this in the future.

I was wondering when somebody was going to post this. I saw this yesterday but couldn't remember the website.
The upgrades to the STI concept look like suspension, wheels, brakes, weight reduction, minor chassis stiffening and dress-up parts, but no power increase. It looks interesting but it's not enough to make me want it over a regular BRZ. |

Just use the money you'll save by getting the base model and put a turbo on that one...

This car freaking needs a turbo but with that stupid compression ratio I don't see it happening without blowing the engine after a few redliners. |

Two reasons.
1. So we can make parts for the FJ20 to possibly sell. Dropping the compression should only be a matter of swapping in a set of forged pistons, no big deal. The direct injection scares me though. 2. To pass emissions in NY. If we were to do a ej257 swap we would need to run a stand a lone EMS which is great, but we could never plug the stock computer back in to get an inspection. |
