Blackworks Racing Turbo Build
Hey everyone! There is a new turbocharged BRZ in town I'm sure most of you have heard of BWR and wouldn't really connect them with Subaru but as a company that makes high end turbo manifolds, they wanted to produce a turbo kit for the BRZ and its twins the FRS and GT86. Please keep in mind that I won't be able to answer everyone questions as the build is still continuing. I literally have hundreds of pics to go through still, so I'll be posting a few good ones now and I'll continue to upload more along the way with the info for each one. (Admins I'm in talks with BWR on becoming a vendor. This thread is merely the R&D of their turbo kit on my BRZ and consider it as a one off kit right now cause technically it is)
Here is some quick info on the build and parts(All fabricated parts are done in house from scratch): VMS Vacuum Block TiAL 38/40 Wastegate TurboSmart 50mm Race Port BOV BWR Strut brace with integrated catch can(A one off for my build) Garrett T3/T4E turbo 50 trim BWR 1.5" EL top mount turbo manifold BWR 3" down pipe to a 3" catless exhaust to a 3" straight through Borla XR-1 muffler(another one off for my build) Vibrant intercooler with custom end caps BWR Coilovers BWR Adjustable control arms are in the works "I will continue to add items as the build continues like injectors and so forth..." This pic was taken a little over a month ago and right away BWR started to tear down the BRZ. Here's another angle of the car on the lift. Here's a good picture I got of the EL Turbo manifold. This one in particular is actually the first one they made, they redid the jig and made a second manifold that is currently on the BRZ now. Here's the exhaust Matt fabricated... Pic of the turbo mocked up on the manifold. Nice welds for the Map sensor by Matt the sole fabricator of the build Quick shot of the wastegate and the dump pipe Please bare with me on the updates of this build as I can't always stop by the shop due to my work schedule. I hope you guys will enjoy this build as much as I am and I can't wait to get behind the wheel of my BRZ again! Cheers!

awesome. I would expect the pricing on the manifold to compare to the pricing on the manifolds they make for hondas

Hello everyone any questions about this build or any products with it I can answer. As for the price of the manifold, I highly doubt it will compare in price with out other manifolds as lots of work is done to make each manifold perfect. So it will fit properly.

lol it's like you're implying that manifolds for other cars were half-assed and didn't necessarily fit perfectly, but for 86 they'll make sure to get it right and perfectly fitted

Why a 50 trim turbo? Why not a gtx series or pte? Granted I made good power on a 50 trim years ago on an srt4 I had with a stock motor.

Little rude response but no. On the subi manifold there r 2 flanges not one solid flange so a lot more time goes into prep and welding than a standard honda manifold. Ensuring no stress is added from welding.Nothing at Bwr is half assed every manifold is polished by hand, back purged and then flowed after. I'm sorry you took wat I said the way u did. But this manifold take a lot more time to make than a standard one. |

as for the reason for a smaller turbo, this build specifically wasnt ment to be an outrageous horsepower drag/race car, from what we were going for was a nice bolt on kit with no major modification (other than pulling oil pan to weld -10 an bung for turbo oil return), with the smaller turbo he will get the quicker spool and power faster and still retain a smooth daily driver, with the setup of the top mount there is alot of room for growth to run a majority or different turbo set ups. we will be mocking the manifold up once the car is done being wrapped with a vband setup and using a 6262 pte turbo to see placement.
