Hi, new member/ Have some new info
 

Well i was just picking up some parts for my supra at the dealership and i started talking with the manager about the ft-86.

I don't know if he's bullshitting but he said that he knows the car will have a 9000rpm redline.

If that true this car will be really good.

He also is excited on this new boxer engine, he said it will be a 2.0 boxer engine but redesigned.

Welcome! Nice MKIV!!

If that is indeed true, a 9K redline would even more fun to drive! :happyanim:

Hope so.....

Thanks

Well, it would be nice for Toyota to once again become king of sport cars(93-98 supra era)

If Toyota can make the ft-86 close as possible how the concept looks and with a 9000 rpm redline boxer engine, it will definitely become legendary, just like the supra twin turbo.

Imagine it with a turbo,

Maybe the car gods might just be listening after all.

Welcome! I'm jealous of your MKIV.

Anyways, it's possible to make the boxer engine rev up to 9k. Even old gc8 series (JDM ver) can rev pass 8k, so I don't see why FR boxer engine can't rev up to 9k with current technology (just UDSM ver STI's didn't rev pass 7k).

Hope its true, I remember a Japanese video back then about the GC8 22B is safe to rev up to 8,500rpm stock if so maybe this "redesign" boxer engine will mKe 9,000rpm.

maybe is true, but why would a manager of a dealership know that info???

Your MK is very nice! Clean and simple. I've been checking the trader time to time for a clean 93-98 but all I've seen are riced out ones or ones that serious attention. They definitely hold their value. The hardtop are even harder to find.

I was hoping for a turbo equipped FT but an N/A would be just as fun.

It will be a fun-to-drive car if it has 6mt and 200hp. There are not many reasons for FT-86 to be 200+ hp, but there are many reason for it not to be <200hp.
9K rpm? seriously? If it's true, FT-86 is a baby LFA.

^ This


and This.

I don't doubt it is possible, But I really don't see the FT-86 revving anywhere more than a ~8200rpm redline.

2800 lbs wet, 200hp, 9K redline, 6MT, RWD... I could only imagine how exciting it would be to drive. :bow:

Yea, subaru's can be built for.....OVER 9000!!!!!!!rpm. check out the video. These also guys have an evo that boosts 2.4 BAR (34 psi) and the Defi gauge goes nuts because the sensor cant read it.

However a 9000 rpm redline, would mean you would have to rev the piss out of the car to get it going like the RX8 or S2000

Everyone wants it to be like that, however, there is no word from Toyota yet. If a turbo one can be somewhere around 300-ish, i will take one after I graduated.
