Well, I guess I mean to say ~300whp pumpgas max (sub 300hp for safety). That's about the limit of this engine in stock form. Anything more like say 350+whp and you will need a built engine. After your engine is built, the gearbox is the next weak link.

So it's safe to say, the sweet spot for this car without getting ridiculously expensive is in the 280whp range. That's about all the power 95% of the people here will stop at anyways. So with respect to the Edelbrock SC kit, it's literally perfect.

No arguments on what you're saying in terms of strengthening various parts... but all I am saying is that people out there seem to think the SC limit is 300hp or so, and if you want more then you need a turbo or other mods... which... as @NotSoJDM has pointed out is not the case.

In terms of cash and "value for money" - that's a whole different debate, but when I compare the cost of an fr-s/86/brz in my country + the cost of a few mods (e.g. what I plan to do... SC, wheels, headers) then it's still cheaper than most other RWD cars I could buy here.

So really it's all about your own priorities and budget. I also consider spending the cash over a period of time a better option than buying an expensive new car now (that is financed too).

The Edelbrock is great. I don't have a dyno yet, but it is in the cards in the coming months. I have some header testing I would like to do as well, so I have been holding off until I can get maps for both headers.

Found some more pictures today. Updated the first post with a few.

Also, here are some pics from when I had my replacement bumpers painted. I hit a semi tire that blew out on the highway at about 80mph. It wasn't pretty.

I have worked on jackstands for the past 8 years so a few months back, I decided to get some Quick Jacks.





They were petty awesome, but I really wanted a full size lift in the garage, so I opted for a 2 post a couple months after.



It's been awesome to have, and has made quick work of all the cars that come through.

NotSoJDM's Edelbrock SC BRZ

I also do a bit of fab work and installs for locals. Here are some pics I stumbled across today from some exhausts I built and some forced Induction builds I installed before picking the Edelbrock.

Exhaust Work:
#1: 2.5" Catback (First Exhaust I Ever Built)
#2: 3" Turbo Car Catback



AVO Turbo Outlet & Overpipe 3" Fab:
The factory turbo outlet from AVO leaves a lot to be desired. But the space is so tight, pie cuts were necessary. This was my first pie cut project.





Lotus Diffuser Center Exit:
A friend of mine with a BRZ cut up his rear bumper to fit a Lotus read diffuser. He asked me to come up with a center exhaust so this is what I came up with.





Single Exit Frontpipe Back Exhaust:
So I built a 3" exhaust from the front pipe back that ended up being super loud paired with the ace header. So I sold it to a friend.







FI Builds:
Cosworth:


PTUNING:


SBD:


Vortech:

NotSoJDM's Edelbrock SC BRZ & Possibly Random BRZ Fab Work

I managed to snap a my rear Whiteline sway bar near the endlink a while back. Not sure how honestly, but Whiteline sent out a replacement as soon as I sent them a pic of the damage. Great customer service.



All fixed up!

I'm curious why you chose the edelbrock SC? And how it has held up, your inputs, areas it may be lacking, goals, etc. Any first hand info would be great!
