I don't know too much about FI on this platform. Those of you who do, how much more space would a factory turbo take in the engine bay compared to the aftermarket kits available now for it not to be a viable option?
The statement made regarding a lack of room just sounds off to me. I mean, if you can drop an LS engine into an NA Miata's engine bay, why would this be such a challenge? You do realize that one of the reason they decided on the boxer engine was its low mounting point in the engine bay contributing to the car's low CoG, right? Also, dat boxer rumble! |

this thread has nothing to do with the FRS. the VP said no turbos for the GT86. this maybe news guys but not everyone here lives in NA. this is more for our European friends...

Not everyone appreciates you reposting useless clickbait. The thought is nice (stimulating discussion) but like others said, this isn't news. Edit: I'll post it a third time so you don't have to strain yourself. http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Drives/...2-CAR-review-/ Edit2: You asked for the link for the VP stating there would be no turbo version from 2012, I provided. |

The link I posted has nothing to do with the North American market/FR-S. It is talking about Europe and its GT86. Also Tada-San has nothing to do with this. The latest article has nothing to with him. |

If this is a repost and old news than why did was it posted on FT86Club's front news page?

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=84 Post #85 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...3&postcount=85 You asked I delivered. Nobody is arguing the point you're attempting to make. All I am saying is that this is not news, stating "Nothing has changed on our stance from 2011" and calling that news is silly in my humble opinion. Carry on enjoying your 'front page news'. Edit: Tagging @gymratter to prove I can read just fine. |
