Turbo FR-S Tested For Drift Reportedly Spotted - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I would imagine so. Like I mentioned, that's some fast development if it is the standard motor just boosted.

I also think it's an EJ, but it may be something else.

Yeah, I'm hoping the new FB, but *sigh* we can only hope

Ken Gushi's Formula D car for sure.

Whats the point of this article?!
Even if this car has a turbo it could be simply
Modified. That doesnt mean the factory car will have one.

The vid on autoblog was like a 2 second sound clip- is that enough to justify that it sounded like a turbo?

Snoopyalien24 · 01-03-2012, 03:24 PM

Quick question, If one swaps an EJ in there, how does one not make it AWD?

Wastegates don't flutter. Bov's will, and if you are getting compressor surge, the Compressor in the turbo will. This sounds like a GReddy Bov.
