Hey, everyone - I'm the one who sent a message to Piper in post #3, and I just wanted to let everyone know I never got a response from them. I'll update the thread if I do.

Their web page was down the last few days, maybe server problems. I will see them at PRI in December.

Hey, everyone - here's the update we've been waiting for. I got a response from Piper directing me to Tim Radley at Race Developments, who has been working with Piper while developing several neat items for our platform. I sent him an e-mail and here's the response I got from him:
Hi Jason,Tim is actually on this forum, so maybe he can jump in and give us more information as he continues his development work. Lastly, he supplied a picture of the dyno chart, so I'll attach it below. |

Tim also supplied a picture of a header he's working on, so I'll attach it below.

I would like to know what he means by motor build. Like what else does he have in addition to the cams/springs/exhaust/motec. Header?

The stock head has way too much flow for the power it's making. Air speed is really bad too. Comparing to some other N/A heads, its making as much flow as ones that do 260bhp so the fact it doesn't make that is down to the combination of other parts. I've yet to touch the intake manifold and my feeling is that a problem area. Logging what I do in the ecu I can see several issues going on. When i fix them i'll post up details. Just short of time for the project right now.

One thing i forgot to add. The camshafts out of my stock 2014 Toyota GT86 measured up differently to the ones Piper had from a 2012 Subaru BRZ. Lift, duration and pin location were all different. It appears there are variations in stock cams between models.

The valves are also .7mm longer too, I think it was for the 2015. I forgot where I found that at, but it was a new part number.

With due respect it is not the car's fault if the driver stalls it.

Ummm... the FA20 is a new engine and I'm guessing that the crowd who designed the engine would have had their reasons for designing it the way they did. (This is not a snarky "designers know everything" post.) What might the reasons be for making the engine the way it is? I'm guessing there is a trade off in there somewhere.
