Just bought an Frs. What mods to do on auto trans - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

miyoshi82 · 11-11-2014, 01:28 AM

Is it really necessary to add in a supercharger if you want to make an automatic FRS "fun"?

My engine is stock and I'm having a great time with my AT FRS.

The Header is Top Speed.
The exhaust is Perrin.
The other two pieces of pipe are DC Sports.

OpenFlash Tablet is a great place to start! we have FREE tunes available for stock or fully modded setups

This post pretty much sums up this forum in so many ways.

drewbot · 11-11-2014, 11:20 PM

The only mods you can't partake in are ones specific to the M/T

So that leaves

- Suspension
- Wheels
- Intake
- Exhaust
- Forced Induction
- Tuning

ie. a shit ton

Sorry for asking noobish type questions. It's just that I want something that can be reliable as a daily driver with good MPG and at the same time be a weekend warrior and car meet type of car.

No I don't think he's referring to that he's referring to the fact that no one is satisfied with the stock pure form

It's a good runner, is good for about 380 hp. Like I mentioned before, Stark makes paddle extenders. The At handles FI well. Might have stall convertor issues. SSP makes AT upgrades. It is more of a blast to drive as a DD, using only manual mode. And I'm an AT driver for 40 yrs or so.
On a side note,dig, can you drink coffee, eat donut and drive in rush hour traffic with a manual. But then I have seen someone, in the early 90's, Rush hour traffic, driving and removing his driver side T roof. The car being a Corvette.
All I'm saying is the car is a lot of fun no matter AT/MT set up.
Enjoy it.
Use a search string "automatic stall converter for a BRZ" on Google.
Check out @DeOppressorLiber thread on Stall/Torque Converter
SSP A960E Transmission Upgrades thread
Automatic Acceleration in Manual vs Auto modes thread
Automatic Transmission thread
What is the best way to Launch the Auto Trans.
These are all direct quotes, so enter in search and they should come.

That's what I wanted, plus no clutch for the wife's bad knee.

Or ecutek stage 1 and headers all the ones on the market except unichip right now seem OK...

VakaGT · 11-13-2014, 11:54 PM

id go with ecutek after FI maybe. for now. OFT is just good bang for the $ cost. and free updated OTS tunes
