Hello, I suppose this is my first post on here but it is an important question because it could make or break my decision to get an FR-S or BRZ.
Once these turbo kits get made and the other kits that follow, S/C and possibly twincharge kits as well, they are going to have a price, obviously. What can we expect it to be?
Now I've driven a few different cars and depending on the make of the car and how expensive it was and including vendors thinking how elite the car might be, the price of boosting your vehicle can vary.
I had a Cobalt SS a few years ago and the price to boost those, the non boosted ones, was as low as
$1500-2500. Reasonable for the type of car. Domestic and a relatively inexpensive car. And people were easily making ~350whp.
I also owned a Nismo 370Z and my god every vendor thought that car was god's gift to man. So turbo kits were
$6,500-11,000. Supercharged kits were
$6,500-8,500. In my opinion those are ridiculous prices and even if it is a JDM vehicle, it shouldn't matter. The turbos were making 450-600whp and the S/C was making 350-475whp.
Finally, I currently own a new Camaro SS (same price as a Nismo 370), and I believe the boosted prices are back to being reasonable again. There don't seem to be any vendor issues even though the car has a huge following of people that think it's amazing. The turbo kits are
~$6000. Supercharged kits are
~$4500. Numbers might be off a tad bit but these are almost HALF of the 370Z prices.
So what do you all think we will be seeing for the FR-S/BRZ in terms of pricing for boost? Personally if I can hit 300-350whp I will be extremely happy. It would only take 235whp to have the same exact power-weight ratio as my 370 and maybe 245 for the Camaro. Those numbers should be easily obtained by any form of boost.
Thanks all!
