Hi everyone. I'm deciding between two pre owned '13 brz's for sale. Both have 35kmiles. One has a Jackson racing sc kit with catback, enkei's and tires , the other is bone stock. Im trying to do my research like a smart man to help make my decision. And words of wisdom, caution, or advice? I ride bikes too so I'm not desperate for speed, just looking for a daily driver. My hesitation towards the boosted engine is reliability, I know it's a broad question, but is my hesitation warranted?

I have lots of experience owning a boosted subie, I have an outback 2.5xt 90kmiles, bought new, entirely drama free. But the jrsc brz seems like a different breed to me, increasing hp by ~40%. I'm not familiar with owning a tuned engine that has had its power increased by 40%. Are there yearly tune ups associated? Frequent diagnostics required? Power increase of 40% would seem to be asking a lot of all the other stock engine components, no? It doesn't need an upgraded clutch, etc? Fill me in because I know nothing. Thx in advance.

Remind me how often do we need to replace the magnetic filter? Thanks!

When you change the Traction Fluid. 2 years or 50K miles.

Anyone in San Diego area willing to give me a quick ride in a Jackson Racing Carb tune car so I can have a seat of the pants feel for the power? I am in Carlsbad. Feel free to PM me so I don't derail this thread. Thanks in advance.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of cars out there, running aftermarket forced induction in the form provided by the manufacturer, that has no other issues. |

No issues at all with the JRSC, and it put down 275whp/198ft-lbs on 93 and 315whp/231ft-lbs on e85 on PTuning’s DynoDynamic dyno. All in all very pleased with the results and look forward to getting back home next week! |

How audible is the Rotrex unit at idle? Based on videos it sounds like its fairly loud.
I'm still months away from installing my C30 kit. It's patiently waiting in the shed |

There is no audible sound from Rotrex at idle. Whistle of the recirc valve is the only different sound at idle. Rotrex become audible only after ~3000 rpm on my car.
