OP: Basically everyone who's been on this forum for more than a month or two hates generic turbo-rumor / "they should put a turbo on it" threads. They pop up at least once a week and they're all the same.
We should really just make a stickied, "Post in this thread everytime you want to talk about how the BRZ doesn't have / is getting a turbo"-thread. |

I turbo'd mine and realized the car loses a lot of character turbo'd. I GAINS a lot of character as well, but its not the same car anymore.

You can't do a straight up conversion from euros to usd for the price of a car. A gt86 should be in the mid to upper 30s by that logic.

That's not how it works. The 4A-GE was being pushed to 240hp a decade before that, the 3S-GE was pushed to 270hp without variable lift. Design goals dictate power much more than "technology" these days.

...and the 1986 BMW 2.0L 4-banger made 1400hp. THE FUTURE, YOU'VE BEEN PUT ON NOTICE! Apparently more evidence that the pyramids were built by alien technology. Last edited by Boxer486; 06-29-2014 at 01:21 AM. |

The 4AGZE is another little monster in itself, the jdm model was faster than the ft86 (25 years younger) straight from the factory. It can handle a bulk loads of boost too.
Toyota 1.6L 4 bangers were the rage back in the 80s and 90s... Now as well because of the initial D dudes.

You called out Toyota and Subaru as if they are a bunch of retarded fuktards. You didn't know that 280hp from 2.0L boosted means jack for shit. You didn't know the turbo was outright rejected by Toyota for altering the inherent character of the car they desired it to have.
Your arrogant attitude and ignorance in the original post was what was offensive. Hope that clears things up. Cheers! |

Yeah, I still have a 20 valve in my garage with no car to put it in. 5 valves per cylinder, ITBs, forged crank, oil squirters and baffled pan. Yeah Toyota, you don't know shit about engines, pft....
This crap reminds me of every kid that thinks the latest NBA superstar of their generation is the greatest there ever was. Lame. |

Grab an AW11 and chuck it in there, spend a little on tightening up the suspension if the previous owner hasn't yet, and do whatever you want with it, still the closest thing to a go kart to date for me....

What's ironic is it has all the doodads to push NA but the cast iron block is so stout it cries for boost too, heh. |

And you are right, it seems those engines were quite a lot more bullet proof from that era... The king of the bunch was the 2JZ handling 700hp (over engineered), not sure what it is now since E85 came to be.... So in closing, toyota can definitely make kick ass engines if they want to, the twins had different design goals that only a boxer or a rotary could fulfil at the time.
