Dyno'd our stock BRZ on Tuesday, broke 600 hp with Delicious
 

OK maybe it's not stock, but the latter part is true.

Hit the dyno on Tuesday in Denver with our friend William Knose of Delicious Tuning for him to work a little bit of his magic on #RevvProjectBRZ!

The results:

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhWfyl5yoOw&list=UUHbWo0UVy0SGQLM43ITCyUA"]#RevvProjectBRZ Dyno Session 603hp / 462 ft-lbs with the Subaru BRZ FA20 - YouTube[/ame]

There's also a good bit left in her as well. Ran out of fuel flow up top thanks to the stock fuel lines. Still had a couple pounds of boost as well as about 7 degrees of timing left to really push her. Once we get the lines resolved we'll get back on that dyno for the big numbers.

Huge props to Bill @ Delicious for killing it with the tune. I have to say that without his traction control, the 600hp is pretty damn hard to put down. He threw the book at this build with his full flex fuel kit, dynamic barometric compensation & boost control, flat-foot shifting, downshift throttle blipping (this is a badass cheat lol), and that traction control. I'm putting together a full vid walking through everything he/we did so let me know if there's anything you want me to address in terms of drivability or tech.

All I have to say is it's amazing how drivable this car is right now. Ridiculously "linear" power band makes it super fun to drive, an absolute asshole when you lay down the throttle (even 20% it gets ridiculous) and feels stock when just putting around (ok, aside from my twin-disc clutch).

and here's a shot of her incase you haven't seen:

nice build. and still looks pretty clean too!

Looks pretty stock to me

Stock*

*with turbo**

**what people wished they'd get stock.

Watch out for this guy

Hory sheet, love the seam welding!

And here ladies and gentleman is proof that you can indeed tastefully "stance" a car and do all the other things right to get respect!

:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

Love the look of the molded RB kit and amazed at how fairly linear the power curve is for so much power.

cheese us crust, that sounds like sex.

what size wheels/tires were on when you were having trouble with traction before the traction control? just curious

This blew us away with how big of a difference it made. It was literally the first "mod" we did, and while we only drove it around on the streets, it was more than noticeable. But I wish we could've tested it out on the track after seamwelding and before all the other suspension mods to really understand how much of a difference it made. It was a ton of work

Straight off the showroom floor lol

Thanks! Wanted something a little different than the rest. I'm also super impressed with how linear the entire power band is. Going into the build Garrett was pushing the 35R, but we wanted something that wasn't just a highway rocket. The smaller turbo definitely has some punch down low, spools quickly and has great top-end performance. The graph backs this up too. I'll put together a vid highlighting how 'driveable' she is shortly

We're on Yokohama AD08R's on all four, 18x9.5's front and 18x10.5 rear. Keep in mind those are like pure performance summer tires, so our 50 degree weather is under their peak performance temp. So when cold it's like ice skating, but once they warmed up I was still able to break them loose in 5th but manageable to keep it well under control (this is without traction control). Once Delicious implemented the traction control it was wayyy more manageable and really helped putting the power down. We will also do a comparison for the traction control too because it's a huge difference over OE where they just nail the brakes

Love the car guys. This must be a blast to pilot. Nice work @DeliciousTuning:thumbsup:

My FR-S has 600 h.p. and is stock as well. It has three engines, one in the rear, and one where the back seat used to be. Totally stock.

Would you recommend seam welding for weekend warriors/hardcore enthusiasts that do light track duty? Or is the cost versus benefit ratio outside of what most should do? @MAPerformance , @DeliciousTuning , et all feel free to chime in.

Way more work than what it is worth unless you're doing an over-the-top build.

Sometimes when it comes to cars, logic need not apply.

That's how you create memories.

Unless it's a full-blown race car seamwelding shouldn't be considered (cost-benefit). It requires basically stripping the entire car down to the chassis

Three engines and you only got 600 horsepower out of it?

That may be true, but our time on this Earth is extremely limited and for some, yes, the build is all that matters. For others, me included, I have moved away from doing illogical upgrades and spending more time in seat, so to speak. I'm a little jaded and tired of having projects that spend more time on jackstands than pounding tar :respekt:

Top notch build. Wich ecu have? Im very curious about the auto blip.
Congrats

As someone who wouldn't of existed if logic were present, i agree to disagree.

Gotta love mistakes.

Stock ECU, tuned on ECUTEK by Delicious Tuning. Just got done talking with somebody else about this feature and it's impressive, once you learn to use it. To activate it you need to have your foot on the brake. If you're use to blipping before punching the clutch, it's a difficult transition lol

you aren't a mistake bro bro.

and I don't disagree with you, just letting you know how I feel about it. There's no right or wrong

I'm glad people are pushing the envelope, the guys who blow up the engines doing 600 horses are going to learn stuff that helps the rest of us get reliable horsepower gains. Getting 200+ horsepower to the wheels on this car makes it quite formidable in the right hands (and it's already pretty quick stock), if the aftermarket can get us up to 300 at the wheels reliably (with the $$$ of course) we have a giant killer.



inb4 LSX swap

I like to think that our team has developed a platform where we're not just going to "blow it up". Didn't over engineer, just built it to handle a specific target.

Apologies, didn't mean to imply as such.

Only meant to emphasize that the guys pushing the limits deserve praise, the rest of us reap the rewards of the research you guys are doing.

:cheers:
:burnrubber:

Yeah. They make 200 hp apiece. Remember, totally stock.

Frankly, 600+ hp in a street legal (in Texas, anyway) 2700 pound car is truly frightening! It is a thing of beauty, though. Massive congratulations!

To put it in comparison, a McLaren P1 has a power to weight around 3.64 lbs per horsepower vs this which has about 4.5 lbs per horsepower.

Now remember this doesn't have the super sophisticated traction control system and computers that the P1 does to control all that power. "Truly frightening!" might be an understatement.

Id like to compare area under the curves for both cars

nice

All good man. The whole point of this build is to pave the way for us FA20 guys and push the platform to the limit. Hopefully we all get some good data and insight to help everybody out.

Yes, this car may even be "legit for texas" haha

:bellyroll:

I'd like to see how all that power gets turned into motion. Will there just be a massive burn-out and wall of smoke...wheels spinning ferociously as the rubber refuses to grip?

I met a guy 20 years ago who put a Corvette engine into a Porsche 918. His main issue was keeping rubber in contact with the pavement, and that was with the engine much closer to the rear wheels.

In any case, this build is impressive and I look forward to seeing the results.

think what you want mate, the proof will be in the pudding.. can't wait to see how the system ages :)

nobody here surely will say it's not a nice as hell build. top notch

Need to take it out to a drag strip and hopefully get the power to the pavement. I would be real curious to see your 1/4 mile times. Thanks for posting.

Certainly going to need a final drive swap. What you lose in "acceleration" will be made up for by not completely overwhelming the tires.

All you have to do here is pass the inspection, which includes the most superficial emission test I've ever seen. Considering some of the ridiculous trucks I've seen on the road, not to mention the old cars around here belching blue and black smoke, surely this badass FR-S would pass.

How is the gearbox taking 4x the power?

This is literally my dream FRS build. 400whp on 91 pump gas!

Thank you guys for such detailed and in depth information. Truly an asset to our community.

Cheers.
