this thing would be a rocket w/ 250 hp and 266 lb ft of torque. of course i'm just throwing numbers out there but really.

that car was the $#!+ in forza 3! (in real life too but who cares about that)

[2fast4you]

People are already doing bad things to this car before it's officially released... and I like it!

I have to give some props to Toyota and Subaru: they played their cards right by not offering a forced induction version of the 86/FR-S/BRZ, and the aftermarket is going nuts! I'm trying to keep my FR-S stock for competition purposes, but I don't think I'm going to make it to the end of the year before a new suspension and engine mods start happening.

I knew I loved HKS for a reason!
I'm sold. So much for warranty... *sigh*

[suprachica79]

I'm a full on HKS-lover but that wing is an abomination. Glad there are FI options being developed by reputable companies though.

[ZetaVI]

I love the list.

[SUB-FT86]

I'm in love!!!

Not necessarily. I can't see the images (at work right now and the firewall blocks most sites/pictures) but depending on the type of supercharger they'll employ fuel mileage may remain unchanged. If it's a roots type blower then yes you'll take a significant hit to fuel mileage, but if it's a centrifugal blower (commonly reffered to as a procharger and due to higher operating temperatures usually requires an intercooler) fuel mileage often remains unchanged in light/mid-weight vehicles. In heavier vehicles centrifugal superchargers, like their turbo rivals, often increase fuel mileage.

[Cessblood]

Nice find.

[blur]

@ SVTSHC

It's a rotrex style centrifugal supercharger. So fuel mileage would remain unchanged with a setup like this? What kind of psi setting would give the best MPG?

Can't wait to what NOB think of it & drift around w it
