we like would like to gain approximately 30hp with the GT-pack.
the stage 2 will be with outher headers and some outher things.
the stage 3 will probably be a HKS supercharger with custom pistons and drive-shafts outher headers, custom airintake, triple plated carbon clutch and so on :happyanim:

To be realistic, 30hp around 2~3k for a price isn't happening.

Also triple plate is absolutely waste. Even w HKS SC kit

what psi do you plan on for stage 3?

I can see people randomly tapping the gas bc they tried to break and instead they heel toed .. lol

I would rather have performance parts over the bolded. Those items seem all but unnecessary to me. What people who are buying these cars are really looking for is another dozen(or two) of horsepower in a performance package, not glamour. IMO

i have no idea how much psi well be running on.
but the supercharger is future plan.
for now were concentrating on the smaller GT-pack.

for sure

so have you done any changes to your list of prospectives/for sure items?

Skip the braces. This car is quite stiff already, there's no need to go sending money to Cusco just because they found two bolt holed that could be tied together with a blue pipe.

I would say the most important thing to upgrade is the tires. Then brake pads.

If you want to add to the sound and increase performance a bit, tune / exhaust / intake (in that order).

Of course, the dealers probably want it to be more appearance-oriented.

Agreed. Tires, tune, exhaust, intake. That should put it right around 2-3k extra, and get you really close to your 30whp goal.

Any way to find a suede or alcantara steering wheel?

Pedals.

Better brakes pads too if the budget allows. That's would be a great sports package...

and was contacted by Toyota Belgium and asked to put together an optional performance-pack for the new GT-86.
the purpose of the pack is that it looks original and the performance and handeling of the GT-86 improves.

what I had in mind:

Milltek exhaust (belgium has a ridiculous law allowing only approved exhaust systems on public roads Milltek is approved)

Injen shortram intake
custom ECU remap
Cusco Strut Bar - Type OS (front and rear with brake cylinder stopper)
Cusco adjustable Power brace Engine bay
Cusco leather steering wheel
TRD door Stabilizer
TRD Front / rear brake pads
TRD Push start Switch
TRD Shift Knob

if anyone had enny experience with these components either positive or negative please let me know if you have suggestions about other better parts let me know

I have access to a dyno and i will test which airfilter gives the most power.
this might take a few weeks because the GT-86 in not yet released in belgium ;)

Today I had my first drive in the GT-86.
And I must admit that all aftermarket suspension parts will be useless on this car.
We have tested all the components on the track and with the full Cusco suspetion setup the car understeered ALLOT more so Cusco is a no go!

The INJEN shortram intake pleased me very much and after Bonburner had given me a link to a problem with the Injen Intake i contacted Injen and they will now go figure out this problem and solve it. (when i know more ill post it)
btw I have not had that problem

The Milltek exhaust is awsome! great sound throughout the rev range, a real must.

All the stuff from TRD remains and the Cusco steering wheel will remainning to.

The GT-86 I've driven had Bridgestone potenza tires and these had great grip and yet you can still make em smoke ;)

Within a few weeks I will post some pictures and videos.
In these videos you will see the difference for each part on the dyno
I'm totally independent so if something is not performing, I will not lie about it and who knows maybe ill help people with their choice.

Salut mes amis! You said yourself the aftermarket suspension would be useless so skip the bracing. The only performance aspect youre going to want is stainless steel brake lines, performance brake pads, and a few visual things on the interior to set it apart, seats, steering wheel, and push button and call it a day. The upgraded brakes are all the car will need to set itself apart from stock on the track, with less brake fade and more bite.
