Stage 2 Cosworth Kit Preview!!!!

[xwd]

Yeah that's an Eaton TVS. My guess is the R900. They also posted a picture of a decent sized front mount heat exchanger for the air/water ICs.

It really sucks that cosworth is the one coming out with this kit. I'd love to see what an R900 could do on this engine but i have no desire to pay cosworth money for the kit.

How would the R900 compare to the Sprintex 210 (210+)?

I was just looking at that. In my quick searching it seems the 210 has a slightly higher displacement, at .94L vs .90L. But the eaton can spin to ~24000 rpm whereas the sprintex is limited to 15000 rpm. Now in the sprintex literature the say that's the max continuous rpm. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or if the eaton's spec is for continous duty at that rpm or if that's a momentary spec.

My thoughts exactly

Nameless ceramic coat maybe?

No way to run strut tower or frame bracing. That part kinda blows.

Correct. These are the Cosworth/Nameless headers offered in their stage 1.3 kit.

I'm getting tired of every single thread being over run by price complaints. Someone needs to set you all straight.

First of all Cosworth is a company that has a name, a heritage, and a history. They are a company with over 50 years of high performance research and development competing, and winning, in the best of anything automotive. Their win list surpasses just about every aftermarket BRZ parts makers/manufacturers combined, and more than Subaru and Toyota combined.

Heritage. Pull up to any exoticar car meet, race event, any rallies, and you might get a look or two at your $25k car... until someone notices your Cosworth badge. That guy in the Mclaren, he knows. Heck, he might even buy his own BRZ/FRS because of the Cosworth name. I would.

They have spent countless hours on the developement of all these parts and before anybody even has a chance to purchase anything you kids are shooting them down because of something as petty as their pricing. They don't need to discount anything for your guys because their research and developement doesn't stop at 40hrs/week. Any and all of their parts are run on their engine dyno relentlessly, their parts hitting easily 60k, 120k, even 300k miles on the dyno before rumors of it even spreads. And it doesn't stop with their parts, as you can bet the dyno tuning maps follow the same R&D procedures. I don't know about you, but I rather have a tuning map that isn't programmed in a "rush" 3 hour scenerio. or even 8 hour, 16 hour.

Cosworth currently has a contract with Nameless to produce their exhaust parts. As far as headers go, they are the same. However many of you think Cosworth just rebadged the Nameless items and charge more, but I'm not so sure you can draw that conclusion. Nameless had a different header design prior to the Cosworth collabration, more than likely, Cosworth provided their expertise in the design of the new, or current, Nameless product. From Cosworth, it does cost more but again it comes with the proper tuning.

With that said, I'd appreciate it if this thread is not hijacked by off topic $$ complaints, instead, we can discuss the engineering, eye candy, exclusivity, etc of Cosworth engineered parts.
