Best SC/Turbo kit for AT?

Looking to go FI on my MY14 FRS 6AT. I’m not expecting crazy power gains, only about 240-260hp so my engine doesn’t blow up as fast. I would like to keep everything else stock so no forged internals, aftermarket injectors, etc.


Is there any kit out there that can get me what I am looking for? If there is, which kit is the best?

Thanks

Edelbrock. GReddy. Jackson Racing.

Nothing else is as proven. Inevitably, many other brands/names/companies will come up, but how many of them actively campaign their own product?

I have the Greddy kit.


Got the t620z from back in 2014. Ran strong for 19k miles until I decided to be proactive and get a built motor to just push more boost. Ran it at 10lbs completely fine. Dialed in at just shy of 300 on pump gas.

I don’t know how glass the auto transmissions are. @johan went turbo and sold me his supercharger because he blew his auto and believes the turbo will put less stress on the auto. Perhaps the direct power of the supercharger could be bad but at your power goals it may not be an issue. If emissions isn’t an issue you might want to consider a turbo and if so then maybe a centrifugal SC.

The auto is more robust than the manual.

Just upgrade the trans cooler from the factory to a standalone from Stark Performance.

Honesty, I don't see any actively promoting their products on this forum anymore, if that's what you're referring to.

It seems like the "buzz" has fizzled out for this chassis...

What about JDL, Vortech, SBD, Kraftwerks? That's off the top of my head.

EDIT: OP for the power you're looking for I'd go with a CARB legal kit. There are a few to choose from.

If that is true I would honestly be surprised, and it would be a poor calculation on the parts suppliers and manufacturers to stop supporting and promoting their products because the car is finally dropping in price to a level that it is affordable for the teens and those without a ton of money. I would imagine the ricers and budget minded tuners will finally be getting their hands on these used cars.

I would agree that the buzz is down from those with deeper pockets who wanted to sample the car’s potential. We all know the type: they do a huge build and sell six months later to move on to the next build, maybe a twin turbo 800hp Mustang or something.

I took it as racing, or supporting racers who use, their own product.

I don't understand why anybody buys the Edelbrock SC when they weigh around 115-130 lbs. You're literally adding a much more horrible F/R balance to the car plus that thing sits on top of the engine which I would imagine would raise the CoG higher. My turbo kit was around 50 lbs but you also have to take away the stock header and all the intake plastics so I guess I added 25-32 lbs at best.

You might want to re-check your facts. It's just over 60 lbs of net added weight.

I can't quote your post for some reason Irace86, but I don't see manufacturers here much. That's what I meant by my statement.

Also, I'm a bit slow out of the gate and like to plan my mods and study/learn. Often I go to buy them and they're no longer available.

Who knows, maybe they're using FB and IG?

Well, because generally when people are looking for a bolt on kit they are more concerned with power and reliability. You can also compare you argument to power delivery, low end TQ twin screw known for manageable IAT vs. a lava hot laggy turbo.
