Accelerated Performance 2013 BRZ - FRS Turbo Kit Designing

[Don@Accelerated]

Thanks for all the Warm encouraging thoughts. We'll have dyno numbers on tuesday. Either it blows up or it does something!

Strange you saw minimal gains. I saw in the neighborhood of 2psi more boost worth of power from my testing. Of course, this was datalogging off the dyno using a virtual dyno from MAF voltage increases. The gains I saw increased nearly linear as vehicle speed increased. I collected awesome data from several tests I was able to do, including elevation tests. Good stuff.

Well in the real world testing we were doing...It didn't really even change our temps much. Were always on the verge of crashing anyway so if there was a difference it could've been sucked up in the crash effect!

Oh man, can't wait to see the results!

A time machine. They'll be selling dinosaurs to zoos and circuses shortly.

[MSIZZLE]

well done

[Unleashed]

Can't wait to see the dyno results of this car and so glad its using EcuTek because I was already planning on buying their setup from John

And at the track saturday

Great work!

I had to sign up just to comment on this... very keen to see some results.

I love the low mount turbo and all stock locations & stock mounting. It's a clean install, I would myself be powder coating black and making look stealth as possbile.

Just a Q for us Aussies (in a land where a pod filter = instant rape from the cops)... is there any other way to mount the filter? Perhaps up near the fmic or near stock airbox?

I have not looked at a 86 too close yet but we tend to find ways to seal pods, such as enclosures or the WRX where we run in gaurde CAI, etc...

Cheers!

Im with r0ma on this one, i habe been following the progress since day 1 and figured it was time to sign up and say thanks for making this kit a possibility for us frs/brz owners, hope everything keeps going well and if the price isnt too crazy i will defenetly be one of your first customers, thanks for all the hard work all you guys at accelerated performance are putting in on this project to make this kit available to us soon!

I would tend to think of that as a heat extractor vent, not a vent from which air is pulled. It IS facing the wrong way after all.

Isn't it only oiled pod filters that are an issue with the cops? My MR2 has a non oil type pod and i've never had any dramas. That being said, the recirculating gas pipe that vents to the air through a small filter is probably not quite legal (I think it takes gases from inside the rocker cover and recirculates it into the intake normally).

Does the turbo/exhaust intake sit lower than the crossmember?

No, already been covered its about an inch higher

NSW is quite a bit more strict, the RTA states pod filters should be avoided due to noise and emission changes, It has to be solid mounted and enclosed.

Not sure if you are familiar with the po up this way but a big pod in the middle of the engine bay will unfortuantly have you fined/defected and sent to EPA for clearance if you are unlucky. even the completely hidden/sealed in-gaurd WRX systems have been defected.

Don didn't answer but I doubt this kit will fit rhd cars due to different clearance around overpipe area and fmic/intake piping.

I don't know. Shoot some pictures of it so that I can see.

Just in case the turbo kit makes this thing take flight, I've been working on a very simple bolt on system of brakes. Rotors are over an inch larger each. Rotor thickness is increased as well. Pictured are the super expensive DBA 5000 series rotors which are lighter than the factory rotors.

Thumbs up for being a Pioneer.

I should just take off work and come out there on Tuesday. :P

The guy in the video is obviously an idiot. Vent shaped that like are based off of reverse NACA ducts. They are there to pull air out and not in. In their particular placement they are used (when actually functional) to pull high pressure air out of the wheel well to reduce lift and drag.

It can work but as stated it is all on a case by case basis. 2200 hp is moving a lot of air. You'd need a large opening and an even bigger pre-turbo plenum to keep any real positive pressure infront of the turbo...and you'd have to be moving FAST

Did you check out the Performance Friction rotors. They are bolt up, floating rotor units too and I think you can find them a bit cheaper.
