AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread - Page 163 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

@vubaru @BRZranger, although very limited, THIS THREAD provides small data on how the car behaves with and w/o an oil cooler.

IMHO, as long as your Oil temps don't go over 250 F for extended periods of time, and don't go over 220 F cruising, (assuming you are not a track junkie), I don't see why would you need an oil cooler. I will do more tests once my kit is installed.

Will check out AVO's but I already have a Crawford AOS I've been meaning to throw on. :happy0180:

You can datalog engine oil temp via ProECU

Still wondering what's causing that big torque spike at 4700-4800 rpm. Doesn't appear to be boost related.

Any luck on a CARB legal version?

Tried searching this thread, but didn't find any response from the manufacturer...

Is it the fortnight yet?

312 hp? Crank I'm guessing. Those tyres have far too much grip for that drivers ability. Put the stock tyres on it an pump the rears upto 50 psi. It will step out much easier and help get a feel for sliding the car

^ wish someone would have given me that rear tire psi info before I took my stock frs out drifting ...... I have no skill

Any word on when the second round of shipments are going to start going out for those that preordered?

They will start shipping within this month, I just don't have an exact date.
