NA Build

Hey drifters and time attackers...


I own a FR-S 2013 for 18 months now. I am single and it is my 3rd vehicle at home, and from day one this car is fun only NEVER commute type of car.
I track 4-6 times a year, and after a 20 min warm up. It is pretty much high rpm. I service the car on duration basis because I don't reach enough km a year to wait for the mileage.


So what was done so far:
NO interior, only driver seat and dash (and i left the driver door panel for the buttons and the arm rest convenience), Coilovers, ALL mounts and bushings kit by whiteline, exhaust (was done by previous owner).
I feel like break size is sufficient for cars weight so just better quality.
Since its never driven in winter, I want to do a refresh on the engine with higher grade components (i do it as a profession but not on cars).
I do understand it'll probably shorten it's life. But seeing how i'm at 80k and the engine is going really strong. If, after some upgrades, i can do 50k until next overhaul, that's fine, as long as it'd due to wear-out, not breakdown.


My goal is safely cross 9Krpm. But not with forced induction.
Anyone has best ecu and maybe parts combo that were tested for NA builds?
If I could buy a full kit with that purpose in mind, I would love the person who will link me to it.

BTW, crickets noise is coming (in my case) from air re-circulation flaps in the sides of the rear bumper... I keep taping it but after a race day and the heat, it comes off lol...


Many friends are like why you need a fr-s if you have a Golf R? to which i answer: I have no response that will make you understand...
People don't get it
Thanks all
