need donor for treadstone turbo kit - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Greetings Fellow FRS/BRZ/FT86 Fans,

I sincerely apologize for the late replies and updates; it has been a very exciding couple of weeks at Treadstone Performance Engineering. Thanks to Mr. Travis (kmbkk) we are now able to research and develop a full bolt-on turbo kit for the FRS/BRZ/FT86. This kit is still in the developmental stage and Project Blu Cheese is unfolding nicely, here are is a link to a few pictures of the car to wet your appetites.

I'd have to say you're correct, based on the fact it says engine haha

Silverdub,

Yes you are correct, the oil filter is at the bottom, the last pictures were ones taken from the Subaru Legacy motor which features an engine very similar to the FRS/BRZ (according to Subaru). If you note the Turbo is low mounted and the exhaust runners and intercooler piping is kept short which results in increased thermal efficiency and improved throttle response.

Thanks for the info. How do they return the turbo oil to the engine with such a setup.

pkelly · 07-17-2012, 06:51 PM

Those are pictures from the JDM Legacy.

Edit: Derp, responded late due to opening lots of tabs at once.
