Ferrea's Valve components for FRS/BRZ
 

See this video... Interesting! I think they are first to even announce anything like it for our cars.

300HP NA...oh dear god

This is awesome. Really liking how quickly the market has responded to the platform.

I want! :drool:

WOW I see 10K RPM in this engines future.

I cant wait to see what a fully built street motor can put out. And yeah no doubt we will see some ridiculous redline from peoples builds.

This engine in mostly stock form with lots of head work, cams, and mild boltons, I can see making at least 250 and even 300whp NA with far more crazy work.

I come from Honda's where my personal 1.8 makes 240-250whp with a 100% OEM parts block. People where keep saying I am crazy, however K20 engines can make 250-275 with far less work than I have on my B18.

BONER.

300HP N/A? Running E85 or race fuel, I guarantee it.

I wonder how much the race performance package and street performance package he mentioned in the video will cost and how they would change the car in terms of daily drivability. I doubt it will just give you more power. I'm guessing there are trade-offs somewhere or negatives to have these in a daily driver type car. I'd be curious to know that they may be. Also be interesting if these would be cheaper than getting a turbo or supercharger for the same amount of horsepower.

Based on the fact that you're very likely pulling the engine...I'd imagine something like the basic AVO kit would be cheaper. Skilled Subaru mechanics can adjust valves with the engine in the car, but I'd imagine if you're replacing the entire valvetrain you'd want to pull it out, no? The trade-off with valves is usually low-rpm torque (and drive-ability) for high-rpm power.

i get the feeling that 300 na hp is more expensive and less reliable than 300 fi hp.

So complete race/performance heads are like $5,000 (thats how much cosworth heads are on ej25) and with custom intake manifolds are like $2,000. And you might need a race/performance short block to go with it. So i wonder how much complete package will cost. Btw cosworth ej20 heads are good up to 10,500 rpm

Btw complete cosworth engine is about $12,000
