Will FR-S ever have a aftermarket turbo built?

And a transmission swap...and a clutch swap...and axle swap...and diff swap...and engine mount swap...<<< can't imagine all that stuff is designed to reliably work with well over twice the power...

There are at least 4 companies working on a turbo setup for this car. From what I've seen, none are designing a kit for 500hp, maybe 300hp. Go to the Engine, ECU, etc... sub-forum. That's where you'll find a couple of the build threads.

Holy... 500hp? You'd need to dump a lot more weight in the back and get you some wide ass tires too.

I think ~250whp will be the sweet spot for this car without it losing the fun factor it has.

This is why we can't have nice forums...

Not on the stock internals for sure. So your looking at a built motor+plus the kit+plus tuning and install if you dont do it yourself.

Then getting that amount of power down....

Itll be done within the year but it will be very very expensive.

And I imagine it'll be miserable to live with as a dd...if that's the OP's intent...

i think simply asking that question means that you probably will never have a 500hp frs. there is never going to be a bolt on kit or any sort of user friendly process to achieve those kind of numbers

500 would be a decent amount of work for a factory turbocharged engine and he's asking for an off the shelf kit for a N/A engine...



Welcome to the forum docyzx. Shhh, no more talk of tarboes or supermans. It's already faster than a duck, what more do you need!?

Snoopy would you please stop correcting people's grammar. This is a public forum, not your grammar school.

Dagnabbit fatoni, why couldn't you be realistic somewhere else for 15 more minutes.

Why not just spend the money on a '13 GT500?

I have quite a few daily driven 500 crank hp EJ's rolling around. Its not that difficult. A GT500 is like $60k. I'll have a 500hp BRZ by the end of the summer if my pistons and rods come. I don't think it will be all that expensive to do. We'll see though!

I agree and on stock tyres
