Dyno'd our stock BRZ on Tuesday, broke 600 hp with Delicious

Hit the dyno on Tuesday in Denver with our friend William Knose of Delicious Tuning for him to work a little bit of his magic on #RevvProjectBRZ!

The results:

There's also a good bit left in her as well. Ran out of fuel flow up top thanks to the stock fuel lines. Still had a couple pounds of boost as well as about 7 degrees of timing left to really push her. Once we get the lines resolved we'll get back on that dyno for the big numbers.

Huge props to Bill @ Delicious for killing it with the tune. I have to say that without his traction control, the 600hp is pretty damn hard to put down. He threw the book at this build with his full flex fuel kit, dynamic barometric compensation & boost control, flat-foot shifting, downshift throttle blipping (this is a badass cheat lol), and that traction control. I'm putting together a full vid walking through everything he/we did so let me know if there's anything you want me to address in terms of drivability or tech.

All I have to say is it's amazing how drivable this car is right now. Ridiculously "linear" power band makes it super fun to drive, an absolute asshole when you lay down the throttle (even 20% it gets ridiculous) and feels stock when just putting around (ok, aside from my twin-disc clutch).

If you guys haven't been following along with the build, check out our build log on here:

or our blog where we document the entire build process:

and here's a shot of her incase you haven't seen:

My FR-S has 600 h.p. and is stock as well. It has three engines, one in the rear, and one where the back seat used to be. Totally stock.

Would you recommend seam welding for weekend warriors/hardcore enthusiasts that do light track duty? Or is the cost versus benefit ratio outside of what most should do? @MAPerformance , @DeliciousTuning , et all feel free to chime in.

Way more work than what it is worth unless you're doing an over-the-top build.

Sometimes when it comes to cars, logic need not apply.

That's how you create memories.

Unless it's a full-blown race car seamwelding shouldn't be considered (cost-benefit). It requires basically stripping the entire car down to the chassis

Three engines and you only got 600 horsepower out of it?

That may be true, but our time on this Earth is extremely limited and for some, yes, the build is all that matters. For others, me included, I have moved away from doing illogical upgrades and spending more time in seat, so to speak. I'm a little jaded and tired of having projects that spend more time on jackstands than pounding tar

Top notch build. Wich ecu have? Im very curious about the auto blip.
Congrats

As someone who wouldn't of existed if logic were present, i agree to disagree.

Gotta love mistakes.

Stock ECU, tuned on ECUTEK by Delicious Tuning. Just got done talking with somebody else about this feature and it's impressive, once you learn to use it. To activate it you need to have your foot on the brake. If you're use to blipping before punching the clutch, it's a difficult transition lol

you aren't a mistake bro bro.

and I don't disagree with you, just letting you know how I feel about it. There's no right or wrong

I'm glad people are pushing the envelope, the guys who blow up the engines doing 600 horses are going to learn stuff that helps the rest of us get reliable horsepower gains. Getting 200+ horsepower to the wheels on this car makes it quite formidable in the right hands (and it's already pretty quick stock), if the aftermarket can get us up to 300 at the wheels reliably (with the $$$ of course) we have a giant killer.

I like to think that our team has developed a platform where we're not just going to "blow it up". Didn't over engineer, just built it to handle a specific target.

Apologies, didn't mean to imply as such.

Only meant to emphasize that the guys pushing the limits deserve praise, the rest of us reap the rewards of the research you guys are doing.
