AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread - Page 15 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

We haven't finalized on a tuning solution - they are a work in progress right now, just like the turbo kits. Currently we are focused on getting all the mechanicals sorted out. The oil pump portion is progessing smoothly.

When the turbocharger selection/build is finalized, we'll put those details up. There's a number of CHRA's in the sizes we need.

Just a peek at the FMIC on the JDM AVO BRZ:

Aww.. poor BRZ with front license plate bracket

I do like seeing the IC hanging out inside the bumper cover though. very nice!!! Is that the black painted version?

Is the radiator going to get enough air flow?

Looks great though! Loving this kit so far, but I'm torn between this and the Bullet Supercharger kit

Yes, that's one reason to use the bar and plate design, it allows enough air flow through for the radiator. There's a similar setup on my Outback 2.5i.

Awesome! Really looking forward to this kit way down the road. I'm going to need some way of making big power to support the wide body I'm doing.

Sorry guy's I havent been following as closely as I did don but Im trying to keep up, quick question. This turbo is mounted towards the bottom correct?

Silverdub · 08-08-2012, 09:14 PM

Yes as seen in the very first post of this thread

Calum · 08-08-2012, 09:14 PM

yes, but in the front. This should make the air path shorter but the exhaust path longer. You decide if that's better for you or not.

I cant wait to see the final pics especially for the header. I just went in the garage and looked at my car and boy there isnt a lot of room in that engine bay!

are you looking at the right car because their is loads of room in our engine bays.

DrifterX · 08-09-2012, 01:40 AM

That FMIC looks so hot. Man I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

i know the size of the turbo hasn't been decided yet but does this turbo have a target spool range?

Personally i much rather have a smaller turbo that spools quickly that would make use of daily drive with a little extra fun

. also a nice smooth linear increase of torque.
