Safe/reliable amount of Hp range for BRZ
Hey Guys,
I just have a question for what is the safe amount of boost/Hp you can get on a BRZ without making a noticeable problem in terms of manufacture reliability. "noticeable" I know any boost to engine would make it less but what is the safest except for factory tuned? Thank you guys in advance. |

It all depends on what you mean by safe and what degree of supporting mods you are comfortable/can afford to install.
Safe for the stock clutch? Safe for the stock internals? If you mean this, Full Blown has a car pushing over 600whp on the stock FA20 internals. |

Someone write one of those "So you want boost?" posts and sticky it
As said above do you want to keep the stock clutch or fuel system? |

I'm shooting for 260whp, I think injectors and fuel pump will be a good idea. Don't skimp out on intercooler, water/air will be nice instead of just air/air. Meth injector will be nice for fail safe.
Drive train wise, I have an AT and sounds like it holds up better than MT according to some techs. I'd be concerned more about the rear diff (depending on how you drive, track/auto-x etc) and keeping the fluids cold with AT cooler and a oil cooler. If this is your DD, I wouldn't recommend going FI for another year and see how people are holding up around the 30k mile mark after FI. It is too early to tell.

We need a boost by gear setup for our cars asap it would help so much with traction, add good tires in there and call it a day! on the other note for 600whp+ in these cars a built motor would def. be a good idea but look at Full Blown Motorsports they hit it on stock motor just a matter of how long it will last at it. I cant wait to make 400-450whp when I boost mine I think ill be happy with that for awhile!
