Part 1 of our FR-S / BRZ Turbo Kit Sneak Peek

We're very excited to start posting a few sneak peeks at our new FR-S / BRZ Turbo Kit. This is PART 1 of the release of this kit. Click here to read the basics and get some sneak peek looks at our design.

It all starts with turbo selection:
http://www.revworksinc.com/assets/im...urboondesk.jpg
It was our goal to find a turbocharger that would provide the most usable power band and torque possible with this Boxer 2.0L. We were on the hunt for a turbo that would be responsive, offer superior transient response and still be able to produce horsepower on pump gas. We decided on a GTX Turbocharger from Garrett and have opted for Tial's V-Band turbine housing. We'll have more details on the exact turbocharger and specs in Part II.

Turbo Kit layout and space optimization:

We wanted to make this a kit that would make daily driving a blast. The whole kit was designed around the idea of maximizing torque and response. Routing got a bit tricky as we went and found that the chassis didn't want to play along with some of our ideas but we were able to squeeze in all of the components without any conflicts or unwanted points of contact. It is a tight squeeze but the design provides for better cooling and ideal performance.

Building the Manifold, Down Pipe and Dump Tube:
http://www.revworksinc.com/assets/im...ssembled_2.jpg
There are a few obstacles with building the FR-S/BRZ Turbo Kit. With attention focused on potential hot spots, points of contact and more, we had to make sure to clear the oil pan, not be too close to the crank pulley or any other heat sensitive spots on the motor. Our AMERICAN STAINLESS STEEL tubing is paired with our 1/2" flanges to offer superior quality and kit durability. We were able to construct a true 3" V Band down pipe to optimize flow at the turbine and with this build, we recirculated the wastegate dump tube. Product kits will be available with the option to dump or recirculate.

The Intercooler and Charge Piping:
http://www.revworksinc.com/assets/im...ngondesign.jpg
Our team worked together to optimize the charge system. We wanted to keep it as short as possible and use lite weight aluminum. We were able to achieve what we feel is the shortest path possible and kept it very lite. The final weight numbers of the kit will be in PART 2. We converted the MAF to a blow through style to optimize the MAF's ability to meter the charged air.

Current Status of the Build:

We've got hardware, piping and all in place. We're wrapping up a few loose ends and finishing up on the oiling system. We've very close to firing her up and getting going on kit #2! We're very happy with how the kit is looking so far and cannot thank the customer, James Martin enough for allowing us the opportunity to build such a great project together.

Be sure to keep up with the build on our Facebook Page.

Looking good. Can't wait to SeE the results

One thing.
Though you've chosen to make the routings a small as possible isn't this going to prevent people upgrading down the track?

I.e adding aarger radiator and such.

oh great another thing to make my FI decision harder lol. looks good!

This is a very purpose built kit. This isn't designed for anyone looking for crazy power. We set out to build a solid, quick spooling, responsive kit. We already have another one lined up that will probably go a bit bigger. We'll address each of the limitations, if any as we go.

We're here to help. ;)

Looking good:party0030:

is there a reason nobody is going into the top of the intercooler and out the top of intercooler?
the shortest routing looks like it would be under the rad support with both intercooler pipes.

Very clean.

Sounds good to me cause im after a quick spooling system but i'd still like to get to 300rwhp.

What do you think the max of the kit will be?

I've made 420whp out of a similar turbo a few years back on a different application so the power potential is there. We've yet to have a single person interested in boost ask for anything over 400whp so I think this will be a very solid performer in the mid 300whp range at a low to moderate boost level.

Are there any chances of a UEL setup? The current picture looks to be EL.

I don't have one in the immediate plans but you're in JAX, a simple drive down and some custom work could make all kinds of dreams come true, my friend. ;)

i was just there not too long ago buying exhaust manifold flanges for my FRS ( which i must say look top quality!), got there right before you guys were closing, wish i could have seen the build!! ill have to swing by one of these days =)

I can't tell from the picture. Which GTX turbo is that? I agree that the intercooler should be modified so that the turbo outlet goes into the top of it to minimize tube length. Kit looks damn good though. I like that you showed it with a recirculated dump as well.

When is the ETA for full scale release? Very interested in the kit.

Our door is always open, amigo. Unless we're closed..... that is.... :happy0180:

It's a GTX28 with a bit of a twist. We really like how the recirc worked out. It was a tough fit with actually placing the gate in an ideal spot. We got it done, though.

You didn't ask for it but i'm going to put in MY THOUGHTS....

Beautiful kit so far, love the montra behind your design.

personally there are only three things i would want to change;

intercooler, I'd feed bottom side (like you have) but exit top side to utilize all the cooling of the intercooler (for reference see the evasive HKS FRS intercooler, one of the best designs so far... not a fan of size or orientation but Meh..)

Manifold would be UEL (for that Subura sound, Hint: i own a BRZ)

and lastly would be pipe routing.. i'd rout the intake to the driver fender and cut the bumper beam to let the inter cooler to throttle body run be as short as possible.

again i'm not bashing this kit it's one of the best looking ones around, just personal preference..

I can't wait to drive it :)

I'm not certain, but it looks like you'd have to either run a shorter core or cut the bumper beam to make room for the piping if it did. Probably flows better coming in from the side as well (just a guess)

I am almost certain its because companies want to use off the shelf intercoolers rather than fabricating new end tanks. I get that it keeps the cost down using existing components rather than building new stuff.
I personally will be buying a boost kit but i will more than likely be modifying the intercooler setup.

It's not a cost/time issue. The intercooler costs the same regardless of which end tank design you pick (at least with treadstone, who made this one).

... but the standard intercooler is in and out on opposite sides there for out the top in the top isnt an off the shelf item at most shops.

Is there part 2 yet?

Keen to see the results!

I don't want to release any new information before Revworks does so themselves, but here are the pics from their Facebook page. I'll have a full review and tons of pics soon after I get the car home (next few days) and take it on it's maiden 2000 mile road trip :).

Beautiful set up!!

looks good

Final round of pics, details, pricing and all will be up within the next day or two. We're wrapping up the finishing touches now and will get it all finalized asap.

details and prices?

We do not yet have finalized pricing but we are working on that and a full write up. All this information will be released very shortly :)

kit looks awesome!! great job!!

sub'd for pics, dyno chart, and price

this pipe routing seems to be the best route for shortest piping, biggest IC ang best IC design...

I don't like the idea of asking all that air to make a tight 90 degree turn inside of an open end tank. Fluids change direction much better when they're in a tube, not while they're simultaneously expanding into a larger, irregular volume.

Looking good. Need more quick spooling turbos with 300-350whp in mind. That's all I'd really go on the stock block personally.

Has it been shortly yet

I am just glad you are here in Orlando so when things start happening with the fr-s... You are right there

I've been driving the car around on an updated tune for a few days now. My back tires don't appreciate it :). Ill probably need to upgrade the clutch soon before I can push beyond the 7.5psi I'm at now. Planning to finish tuning and dyno the car before adding full exhaust, clutch and upping the boost to 10psi.

Update? :bow:

car is in the shop now getting a redesigned MAF pipe and new tune. should be done early next week in time for 86 fest.

I like this set up.
