AVO Turbocharged BRZ sets record at Okayama Circuit!
AVO's own Ross Wilson set a record for the fastest BRZ at Okayama Circuit with a blistering time of 1.44.71 seconds. Even more impressive was the fact it that it was accomplished on a freezing cold track that had ice and snow on it in the mornings! Tire temperatures would not get over 50 degrees centigrade, well below the ideal temperatures of 70-80 degrees, and the track was also littered with tire debris from the D1 Drift event that happened immediately before the time trial.
Despite all that, Ross set the bar at Okayama with the AVO turbocharged BRZ. It is still on the stock motor and only running at .9 bar of boost (13psi) on the Stage 4 turbokit with the larger intercooler and new AVO airbox. On race gas it is putting out well over 400whp! Needless to say, it was a bit touchy on such a cold track at those power levels, but Ross kept it under control (mostly!) and put down a great time.
The car was running on the new Bridgestone tires, along with the new WORK Wheels, which performed flawlessly. The front wheel and tire setup was comprised of a 18x8.5" wheel with 245/40's, and the rear was a 18x8.9" wheel with 265/35's. Bridgestone Potenza RE011 S tires provided the outstanding traction. The car is getting so fast now that we are looking at a new aerodynamic setup to keep it on the ground!
