Some Type R stickers and a RB wing should do it.

You're going to need a lot of money, a lot of patience, a lot of time and 100 shot of NOS and some overnight parts from Japan....

But in all honesty, E85, lots of boost, big turbo, extensive internal work (forged pistons, etc) and a really really good tune.

Maybe I missed the memo on responding to threads like this, but 350rwhp on E85 is pretty simple. On pump, no, not gonna happen safely.

We just finished tuning an AVO kit that did 398rwhp/322rwtq at 1 bar. My car makes 363rwhp/279rwtq with an ULTRA-conservative 11psi tune with a 5558bb. Hell, my E85 low boost (read: wastegate) setting is 320-something.

Simple.... If you have money to upgrade engine internals, but quality parts, tune, etc. Not to mention you must live near e85 station.

No need for internals at the 350 level with E85.

You should buy quality parts regardless of power levels, so that's a moot point.

You should also get a quality tune regardless of power level, so another moot point.

Closest E85 station to me is 20 miles away. I get ~240 miles per tank with E85 and a fair amount of boost usage per tank. After calibrating the mpg indicator for E85, it says an average of 22.3 right now. Doing the maths (usually fill around 11 gallons at 240 gallons), I get an average of 21.8 mpg. I'll see 24.x mpg average on the highway sections. I live in the "country" near DFW and I can get to Dallas, Ft Worth, San Antonio, Kerrville, etc using just E85 with little to no worries. Plus, if you're even remotely intelligent -and by this I mean just smart enough to listen to your tuner- you will have a map for a pump/E85 mix, and a map for pure pump gas for the times you get stuck out somewhere without E85 (if you go anywhere with that being a possibilty).

Not arguing. Just don't believe a motor built for 200hp can handle 350 without some internal work.

Quality parts and tune is not a moot point. Many ppl don't think about this when building out for power. About how much did you spend though?

Less than a local did for a full NA Nameless setup and tune.

But I work at arguably the best mk2 MR2 shop around, so my cost is an outlier for sure. But like I said, we just finished tuning an AVO kit with Perrin intake, and it did 398rwhp at 1 bar. How much do those kits cost?

Crawford performance has tuned BRZ's to 450whp and more. They haven't been perfectly reliable, but I'm imagining with anything under that, they can make it pretty damn good. Look into them. Matt Farah reviewed one on the Drive Network. check it out on Youtube
