Hello all! I bought my BRZ brand new in Jan 2015 and she remained stock for most of those years but I've slowly been modifying her with the intent of adding boost and it's finally time!
I went with the JDL UEL recirculated turbo kit featuring the GT2860RS and CSG for Ecutek tuning.
I'm waiting on some new parts from JDL that should be here in about a week and figured I'd eat up some of my wait time with writing about my baby.
My goal is a fun, comfortable, fast car that works for myself and my wife. A sport-luxury coupe if you will. I'm aiming for 250-300WHP on 91 octane.
Through the years I have done the following projects:
Painted the roof black.
Installed Joying 9inch headunit and rearview camera.
Installed/installing Siless sound deadening as I take interior panels off for other things. Roof and driver outer door skin completed as of this post.
Installed second gen door stops.
Installed sliding arm rest.
Installed Verus carbon synchros.
Installed Southbend stage 2 daily clutch, Battle Garage RS ultimate throw out bearing, Verus pivot point and fork.
Installed CSG Spec Tein Flex A coilovers.
Installed JDL slim fan shroud, SPAL fans.
Installed P3 analog boost gauge.
Things that I'll probably get sooner:
Oil cooler: JDL is releasing one that should compliment the rest of their kit nicely
Hood: Seibon FA style or Carbon Creations STI Look Hood. Not a huge fan of carbon fiber so would like to get color matched to my crystal white pearl.
Air/oil separator: Radium recirculated version. I took off the intake to clamp the hoses for the turbo install and cleaned out a bunch of oil that was coating the inside.
Turbo blanket: I got all the hot parts of the turbo cerakoted so will monitor temps to see how necessary a blanket will be.
Things I'll probably get later:
Wheels: Thought I'd end up with gloss black but I really like the bronze GR forged wheels by Toyota.
Brakes: Probably a set of Brembos and rotors from a Performance Package model.
OEM Audio+ sub or the OEM sub itself
2017+ steering wheel and cluster retrofit
Roof rack and/or hitch
Thanks for reading! I'll update and add pics as I can
