If I get a test pipe, what does that exactly replace and will I most likely fail the NYC emissions test with it? Debating whether to get that to go with my new exhaust system, but if its going to fail me on the emissions test, then it may not be worth the trouble.

Generally if you remove one or more of the two catalytic converters (cats) in the exhaust you may fail testing depending on how strict the testing is in your area. If your referring to a "track pipe" or a muffler delete then that should not effect emissions test but you may fail on noise output. I'm in OZ so not up with tests in USA. |

"If you want more than about 35-40 wheel horsepower gain then your going to need to go Forced Induction FI either Turbo or Supercharger, just skip NA mods "
Hey, I've been doing some research/lurking here for the past month and I have zero experience with modding a car. I would just like to clarify if this statement means that you can go from a completely stock frs/brz and add a turbo kit onto it without any other modifications? I tried to use the search function, but I couldn't find anything that I was looking for(may have been incorrectly searching). Thanks! |

Their is a forced induction thread that should provide answers. But quick and dirty answer Yes you can bolt on a supercharger or turbocharger kit to a stock frs\brz motor without decompressing or other internal engine mods On petrol you will be limited to about 10 psi boost due to limitations of stock fuel injection system. arround 280 wheel hp You might also want to budget for a clutch and an oil cooler and a bigger radiator if you want to drive it hard or track it. Without clutch you might want to stick to about 7 or so psi boost arround 240 wheel hp and you might get away without the radiator , but an oil cooler is still needed, unless you live in cold climate and you only drive hard for very short periods stock cars are about 170 wheel hp You can break stock cars by driving them like a d1ck, you will break a boosted one faster if you drive in that manner with no respect for the extra mechanical stresses and heat loading you are putting on the car. |

I love this thread!
Thanks to the information, here, I am now running Open Flash's UEL headers and an E85 Stage 2 tune on my 2015 BRZ. And I have the glove box outlet cap in the sound tube. I'm no mechanic--i've never done anything more complicated than brakes on any of my previous cars. But I had no trouble installing the header and flashing the tune in my driveway. The car I bought was a fun little car. Now, with the investment of about $1000 and a Saturday of work, I have something that feels like a real sports car! I know it's still not actually a fast car but it feels dramatically faster. I don't have access to a dyno, but I can easily believe the changes have added at least 10% more power, and mostly in the 4-5000 rpm range which make daily driving so much more fun! Thanks for the great information. |
