Not sure if it's been posted elsewhere but I came upon this.

Ace Muffler FTMFW. Car has so much potential. :mad0259:

I watched till the end, trying to figure out the engine blew..

what happened? I thought our engines were beasts...

sarcasm?

Saving this one for tomorrow.

Our engines aren't like terrible....right?

No. I'm serious. I thought the FA20 was a high revving animal like the old 4age. I redlined that thing every chance I could. Then I needed a head gasket. Other than that, it ran awesome and compression ratio was good until car got stolen.


Anyway, whyd the FA20 blow?

Sounded like it was going to blow about 30 seconds before it did. He could have saved it.

It says "driver error" led to engine blowing. A few seconds before it gets funny sounding, I think he overrevs it. Probably broke something in the valve train.

oh I hear it now. Sounds like a nail scratching a chalkboard. Literally.

Looking at the windshield looked like it blew a coolant line or something.

It looked like that the first time it pitted, half way through the video.

Give the engine another generation and it'll be unstoppable!

i recall reading the FA20 could hit 9300 RPM but that was long time ago before the car was available to the public .. im guessing they took out a lot of the components for something cheaper and for the sake of reliability we have the redline at 7400
its interesting to hear all the rattle once his engine shuts off

hopefully we get a follow up on whatever happened

I watched all of it, but what I was thinking to myself the entire time was why a Scion FR-S was shipped to Taiwan to be used as a track car.


Over-revving? I guess he pulled a Takumi.


"What? 9000?! There's no way that can be right!"

Freaking over revving half the damn time what engine wouldn't blow 😓 poor frs


I'll give you the rice noodle😘

I don't think he was over-revving through most of the video. You can't even see past 5kish; sure the shift light was flashing, but you want to stay between 5k-7k while you're on the track.

Most likely he was downshifting and it blipped higher than redline causing something to go.

Idk I only watched the end and I just saw the rpm needle over 6500 rpm


I'll give you the rice noodle😘

If it ain't a type-r then it ain't a tight car

To me I see a huge weight reduction and at least a 5.0 final drive. Love the way it picks up.

That's what the Ace header does to the car...

GT86 don't want it with my Honda Vtecs.

I wish this thread were a technical breakdown of the design differences between AVCS and VTEC, because this thread title hurts me.

Sorry but ITT you'll find a Honda fanboi circlejerk most likely due to the fact that Honda hasn't made anything new and interesting to drive for the U.S. in nearly a decade.
