Got her painted and all is well, might be placebo but car feels like it runs stronger with less heatsoak.

Looks good. Now it's time to get some hoodpins.

As I'm doing research to add this kit to my 2017 I noticed that the E.O. for this kit (https://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/d...o/D-215-93.pdf) has been updated to include the 2017 models with no differentiation between manual and automatic transmissions.

I immediately called Edelbrock and was told that they do not support the 2017s as of yet. Basically the same story as I researched here.

To my thinking, how can the kit be exempt when an official Edelbrock tune is not yet available?

Thoughts? Am I missing something? Does the provided 2013-2016 tune/s work as-is on the 2017?

Other than that, I'm ready to buy the kit as soon as it goes on sale some place or Edelbrock is officially 'done' with the 2017 versions.

They do not officially support the 2017 in terms of fitment; the alternator issue is present. The tune itself works perfectly fine on 2017, and has already been CARB'd.

Can anyone assist... would I have any issues fitting this to a RHD 86/frs?

Download the install manual and look closely at the parts that are side dependent like battery connections and brake lines etc. I know the supplied wiring for the coolant pump needs changing, I can't remember if anything else was mentioned.

Visited Moto-East and got dyno tuned for Flex Fuel. Ambient temps around 87-88 degrees, Ethanol content was E60 during the run. Hit 271/215 uncorrected on a Dynojet. Almost 50HP gain over 93 octane and almost a 40 ft/lb torque bump.

Wow that's actually surprisingly low for even e60

Is Edelbrock the only mod you have? Drift office made 286, on 92 Pump.

I do have to agree that it does look a little low, but it would be expected if you were stock everywhere else.

Edit: Forgot to add that drift office was making 286 whp on pump.

Looks like he has at least a header and a full exhaust.

That's the thread for the drift office build. I'm guessing BirdTRD has stock exhaust.

Says right on his YouTube vid that he has the header and exhaust

Yeah i forgot to add in my post that Drift Office made those same E60 numbers with pump gas lol my bad.

But even though he has UELs and a CBE, He should be making a lot more especially with moto east tuning it.

It is what it is. (unless your saying there's something broke or wrong with my setup...then I'm all ears!)

The point I was really attempting to show was the difference between 93 and Flexfuel with the fuel and tune being the only difference. Although the engine bay was probably a bit hotter on the E60 pulls than the 93 pulls which was after a 2.5-hour drive in 90-degree weather to get to Moto-East.

Since my goals don't include having the highest possible HP # for a Edelbrock SC Automatic BRZ, I'm fine with the HP and Torque #'s. What's important to me is daily drivability, reliability, and to safely add power which @moto-mike is fully aware of. Being an automatic does also present some unique challenges in balancing power with drivability and I lean towards drivability.

As for what's on my car besides the obvious Edelbrock kit (w/stock pulley), I have the Tomei UEL, Gruppe-S over pipe, 200 cell high flow cat, 2.5" pipes all the way back thru one 18" resonator to a QTP exhaust cut out valve, with the other side going thru another 18" to the stock muffler (yes, stock muffler, the Magnaflow I originally had was just too F'n loud! If I want loud, I just crack the bypass valve open a bit ). The valve was open on the E60 runs so the muffler never came into play.

Different cars with different goals with different mods on different dynos with different tuners in different environments on different days are going to yield......different results.

Not really, was just asking questions. Definitely thinking that you can squeeze out a lot more power than what you're getting. Not sure how much of a difference an AT would make.
