I agree with this statement for the most part. Pro drift cars now adays have full teams as support, thus having the funds to do whatever regarding an engine build/swap. In D1 and other Japan series, I'm sure they'll stick with this motor setup, if not, switch to a 1J/2J setup. Here in the states, where we ruin everything, they'll more than likely swap it out for a built LS motor. V8s are really the only way to be competative in Formula D now and it sucks.
Grassroots drivers in most cases are running mid-high 300s. Especially with the S chasis. 400hp is about the limits for an SR with a stock block and the tranny is notorious for grenading at just over the 400tq mark. Plus, unless you're trying to drive on a competative level, you don't need 400hp. If 400hp is the only way you can initiate and maintain a drift while staying on line and control your speed and angle......you cant drift.
PS. not aiming this statement directly to anybody, just making a general statement. |
Wasn't there a recent regulation change that the cars have to use a motor available form the factory? Hence the tCs abandoning the nascar V8 and 3SGTE to run the 2AZ/AR motors? I remember vaguely skimming through that somewhere. At least this way, there will be some guaranteed boosted applications for this FA/4U motor.

We are a group of people from a wide range of places and professions...I do not claim to be a engineer nor a professional, I only know from my own experiences and what iv seen and what iv read. Which I use to contribute to a list of questions that could be used to find an appropriate answer.
So based on the knowledge I have at hand, the ONLY reasonable direction i can come up with to answer to this thread is talking about how the current Legacy and the 1.6DIT locates their turbos...snug up against the front cover and oilpan.
Plus im having a hard time trying see your point when comparing the legacy and impreza bay to the BRZ.
Now I may be wrong, but you don't need to try to make me feel like an idiot.
This is the location that iv been thinking of that would be viable.
Its location does not interfere with anything besides the radiator which in the BRZ/86 is slanted.This way is similar to the Legacy Turbo Configuration and Its about the same dimensions and compactness of the FA/FB1.6DIT while also being built to be low slung.

I approve of this post. Was looking at where the exhaust is routed in the 86/BRZ and I think for small turbos they can in fact be mounted in the back. Intake and intercooling plumbing would be an issue though, unless... a battery relocation kit maybe? Mount it high up?
