Pneubs HKS Supercharged BRZ Build Thread

[NJUL9925]

finally find someone on the forum w. the HKS kit!
my car came w. it when I got it right now its at its basic level (6psi on stock injectors & exhaust) but cant wait to start messing w. it to see how much power I can extract.

any Dyno sheets w. headers on ? I just got a JDL UEL and im curious what bump those give

Bad ass build! Looks great and I definitely don't hate the rotas.

I'd love to hear what this thing sounds like. Need a good video!

I have pretty much the exact same thing done to my car. except i am still on the stock clutch. something doesnt sound very good under hard load and clutch seems to slip a lot.
but power for me is great. not getting beat by mustangs anymore...

Currently pushing 10psi, 279whp (from 150whp on Mustang Dyno) and 205/tq.

Work is done at Evasive Motorsports in Santa Fe Springs.

You've clearly done a ton of work, and it looks awesome...
Just wanted to ask about your experience with the Flexfuel kit specifically. Your thoughts? Pros/cons etc?

Your car must be awesome to drive!!!

I apologize I haven't visited the site in awhile. So far the flexfuel kit works great. I gained a few horsepower on the top end. The power band is a tiny bit smoother overall but really it seems to be happy with any fuel ratio. My mileage is about 2/3 of what regular gas would be but it's also 2/3 the cost. I can't say it's really worth the price between buying and tuning from my experience but I also don't regret it. It rides that line of a bit more power for a large chunk of change.

Thanks - I ended up getting the flexfuel in the end anyway, and I must say running e50 to e85 is great.

I agree though - it's not like it's a massive power increase for the money, but I was hoping to go FI in future - and then the benefits are a bit more pronounced.

I gotta say though - it's worth it from a "hassle" perspective. I don't need to mess around with maps or draining tanks if I want to change fuel etc.
