Roots Racing BRZ 9k RPM w/ITBs
A German race team Roots Racing built a 9k RPM FA20 with ITBs for racing on the Nurburgring. Seems to be somewhat reliable. I’ve searched the internet but very little information about the car and engine development is in English. Anyone have any information about this race car? Or can translate German.

Google will translate most pages for you. It can have interesting results but you can get the gist.
Judging the reliability of a race team engine is not something you can read across to a street car. Imagine how reliable your engine would be if after every hour or so of driving you had a team with top of the line equipment that stripped it down, inspected all the components, analyzed all of the fluids, monitored even the most trivial functions and tweaked every single component. Even then race teams manage to blow up engines all the time!

Ok got cha.
Still no information on what parts they used to built the engine. I guess they are trying to keep everything a secret. |

Its a EJ22 swap built by Subi-performance in Germany. 250hp/177lbft is impressive its at the wheels, but there is a video of it doing a hwy pull it appears that power is at the crank.. Anywho they are building a NA EG33 for that car now!

However, I think people would rather swap something like a V8 if they're going to put in that much effort which is why flat-6 swaps are rare, but I feel a flat-6 swap would retain more of the car's balance. Also: why isn't this in the BRZ forum? Last edited by ElijahF; 02-19-2020 at 04:02 PM. |

OP is relatively new to the forum. We could give 'em some slack, or sentence 'em to 15-years hard labor to set an example. Either way |

Whenever I join a new forum, I usually get sentenced to slave labor. I see no reason why we shouldn't incorporate it here. |
