Go forced induction or wait for toyota/subaru to come out with something faster? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

nodeal · 08-27-2013, 04:21 AM

Guys I am at a point where I am torn here.

I love my FRS, and have been a happy owner since I bought it 5 months ago during the end of March. But I really want this car to be faster. At first I felt like it had some pickup and it would satisfy me, but here I am 5 months later and I know what I want. More power.

So here I am at this point with a n/a frs and I'm wondering: should I be going forced induction on the car I have now, or should I wait (and hope) for Toyota or Subaru to release a significantly better/faster in the United States?

Anybody else having the same decision making dilemma? Anybody who has already made up their mind on this matter with some insight? Thoughts?

you might as well go FI. They most likely will never produce an FI factory car without marking the price up almost 10k

Just go fi if you can afford it. Otherwise you'll always be waiting for the next thing. Buy first(and largly hypothetical) Turbo frs/brz? Or Wait for the second gen turbo model to come out?

Plus, as mentioned by @bkblitzed, the price would be marked up quiet a bit

Go FI, you won't regret it. This car is a BLAST turboed!

I am going to wait and see. I am hesitant to give up the warranty on my engine. This is a still a new engine and a lot of unknowns concerning issues and reliability.

This. I would love to go FI but I just don't trust this engine without a warranty.

any word on the rumors that TRD and the factory supercharger?

Ryuu0u · 08-27-2013, 12:02 PM

I'm waiting to see what this Toyota/bmw thing is going to turn out. If it's out of my price range then FI will definitely be on my list of to-do's.

Earliest warrantied performance upgrade in a vehicle will be a 2015 model, so just under a year of waiting for the possibility of an announcement.

Personally, if I was wanting more power (which I'm not) I'd wait out the warranty and watch carefully for other members and their issues, a year from now, forced induction on the first round of 86's will be relatively ironed out and the limits well established compared to today.

I don't know, American model years don't make any fucking sense.

They announced the changes to the '14 model year about two months ago, figure the same a year from now, probably earlier if there's a significant change that warrants some fanfaire (i.e. styling changes or performance changes).

Either way, you'll be sitting on a car you're not happy with for well over a year ('14 rollout is in October-ish I believe) at the least, 2+ years or forever if you're unlucky. The real question is, how long are you willing to wait.

Easy.

Boost it now. Then when a more powerful model comes out, boost that too.

Problem solved.
