Difference between GT86 and FR-S?
Howdy!
Norwegian GT86 owner here.. I`ve been looking for a supercharger kit a while now, but as far as I can see theres a difference between the FRS and the GT86 engine bay. Does any of you know what that is? Its a bit frustrating, since most of the supercharger kits are from the US. |

If it`s a left hand drive like in the US, I would think it should be nearly the same car. The GT86 can be equipped more then the FRS here and probably resembles more like a BRZ in terms of equipment the the FRS. If the kit fits an FRS and BRZ, and it`s the same drive side, I can`t think of why it wouldn`t fit. But I would wait until someone more qualified answered hehehe.
Also, what do you find looks different? Try to get a pick of the differences if you can and that could help as well to spot something that could cause an issue in fitment. |

Jupp, I know about som small cosmetical differences, but Im thinking of the engine bay mostly. I bought som hood shockers from ebay, and they didnt fit for example. Quote from Jackson Racing: Q: Will you offer a kit for Asian and European owners? A: International compatibility is being evaluated and will release shortly. Quote from an british supplyer: "These kits are not for the feint of heart. The Tuner kits are designed for US vehicles and do require slight tweaking, Please do not purchase without contacting us first . It is not a case of just bolting it on and suddenly getting an extra 80bhp the standard car wasn't made to take that amount of power as standard. The kits require supporting mods to keep your oil temperatures down and fuelling correct. Mods such as fuel injectors, gauges, fuel pumps, thermostat, and more" http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/GT8...218-114L_.aspx |

It's possible the U.S. kits wouldn't fit because possibly the U.S. cars and the European models may have different emissions equipment. Just a guess I really don't know this for sure.

The octane levels are actually the same. The numbers are different because they are measured differently.

Still I want to re-state I do not know for a fact, what if any actual differences there are between U.S. and Euro 86s. |

The spring rates are different. Also, Interior features, headlights (obviously things available on the special releases here). Some territories have lower optioned cars that have 16" wheels and possibly open diff (base Japanese trim has open).
Also, the 98RON you have is equivilant to our 95 octane (which is hard to find). Your 95 is close to our 92-93 octane Engine bay wise, physical modifications can be limited due to LHD vs RHD models due to steering rack. A LHD GT86 engine bay should accept same mods as FRS and vice versa.

The spring rate for the suspension is slightly different. But overall it is pretty much the same vehicle. The GT86 has softer ride compare to the FRS.

Stiffer front springs than FR-S and softer rears. Comfort is a wash with that, hard to say.

There is no difference which may prevent any SC kit, which fits FR-S, from fitting a EUDM GT86. Difference under the hood between MT and AT is noticable. Between FR-S / BRZ / GT86 / 86 - not (if they all have the steering wheel on the same side). Sizes of the battery may slightly vary but that's it.
