itwillboost's brz (pic heavy)
I picked up a 2013 sterling silver premium BRZ a while ago and while it will be an extremely slow build it will have some goodies added. So far I have hella horns and a set of enkei's. Nice mod will probably be an exhaust and body mods in the summer. I also have a fully built altima and a fully built 240 that I track. I have already driven this car extremely hard in the mountains and places. I love it.

You just follow the DIY on FT86 or did you do something else? Mainly my question is about the relay; in the Subaru world before the BRZ it's always been installed from what I see. The DIY on FT86 says it's unnecessary.

Their is already a relay in the system, you can use a secondary one but that's up to you. I know people have done it both ways. If there is one thing I have learned with modifying cars and wiring it's simplier can be better.

I would hardly call it high strung, and anyone who says 12:1 compression in this day and age is to risky hasn't spent enough time playing with all the new tuning software out there. It also helps in my pit crew I have a rocket scientist, a couple welders, and some other people who really help me bring everything together lol. Plus I can use a dyno pretty often.

I don't think playing with 12.5:1 is risky, particularly on a direct injection engine, and considering static compression doesn't really mean anything. Having easy access to a dyno and talented people is certainly a good thing. I'm not trying to hate. I hope you prove me wrong, actually, but I just have doubts you'll be able to achieve your NA goal without getting into the engine. If you're gonna do that, you might as well build it for boost and make some real power. |

I do plan on gaining alot of power from the head work and the manifolds. I know that is on how some of my previous cars I have seen the best gains. It's a long, boring process developing and making the headers but it's worth it. To give you an idea of how crazy I get here is a picture of a manifold for my 2000 altima lol. And I agree 270whp is quite a far fetched number, but I learned a long time ago you aim high, if I fall short I will not be disappointed. Personally I feel 50 more hp in the right powerband and your doing good. For boost I have two boosted cars already, it's time for some na fun. As far as wheels I have called a company if hopes they can sell me some wheels they have developed in Europe. I was looking at a couple of different colored te-37's though. Mostly black with a silver lip. |

These were rushed pictures and all I cared about was not scratching the trunk, but it gives you an idea. I have a friend who paints so he said he will color match it for 20, and I have wheels and tires already. The wheels are getting repainted now.
Also going to the dealership tomorrow to get the fuel pump fixed and have them check the trans out. It spits me out of 2nd sometimes, and I also keep backfiring in the cold. 5,500 miles that should not be happening on a new stock car. |

I have problems getting INTO 2nd in the cold, but I don't think it's ever kicked me out of 2nd.

So wanna see how that wing mounts up! Nice find! I could've swore there was a different version of that wing with a different-looking mount... I just searched for JDM STI sedan wing and it seems to have the same mounts. I thought GT5 got their design from an already existing mount, but oh well. Thanks for sharing pics! Those rags are covering the contour of the trunk lid that causes the most concern.
I'm surprised I've had no problems with my gears. My WRX has scarred me for life with its gear issues. |

I will get you better pics once it warms up, and I stop working dark to dark lol. I can't complain all the ot has resulted in more money, which means more rice. I am swapping fluids as soon as the dealer sees the problem. Once they can't blame it on me it gets changed. Tomorrow it's getting dropped off at 7 am. |

This isn't a Subaru transmission, though. It's a slightly re-engineered version of the S2000 transmission, so it shouldn't have rough shifts. Interestingly, I read the long term test driver BRZ at Edmunds.com also developed a more difficult shifting action, while their Scion FR-S hasn't. It's possible there's a bad batch.

I know is an Aisin. It's pretty much what sealed the deal on my getting a BRZ. I was pretty much done with Subaru as a brand since I no longer felt like I NEEDED AWD. If the BRZ didn't exist, I might've gone Veloster Turbo or Ford Focus ST since the Scion brand bugs me too much up here in Alaska (or maybe as a whole). Although I'm sure I would've folded and picked up an FR-S and made it a GT-86 asap.
My comment just meant that I've become overly paranoid of gear "abnormalities". With my WRX, I was told that crunches when I shifted were "normal", but when my 3rd and 4th gear stopped engaging, I knew that was BS. Seeing as how this ISN'T a Subaru transmission, I trust it MUCH more. I'm still cautious, though, because of the WRX. With my STI I shifted in reckless abandon. |

I have numbers o.O. that torque dip at 3k looks so bad. This car stock sounds great on the dyno though.
