NA Build
Hey drifters and time attackers...
I own a FR-S 2013 for 18 months now. I am single and it is my 3rd vehicle at home, and from day one this car is fun only NEVER commute type of car. I track 4-6 times a year, and after a 20 min warm up. It is pretty much high rpm. I service the car on duration basis because I don't reach enough km a year to wait for the mileage. So what was done so far: NO interior, only driver seat and dash (and i left the driver door panel for the buttons and the arm rest convenience), Coilovers, ALL mounts and bushings kit by whiteline, exhaust (was done by previous owner). I feel like break size is sufficient for cars weight so just better quality. Since its never driven in winter, I want to do a refresh on the engine with higher grade components (i do it as a profession but not on cars). I do understand it'll probably shorten it's life. But seeing how i'm at 80k and the engine is going really strong. If, after some upgrades, i can do 50k until next overhaul, that's fine, as long as it'd due to wear-out, not breakdown. My goal is safely cross 9Krpm. But not with forced induction. Anyone has best ecu and maybe parts combo that were tested for NA builds? If I could buy a full kit with that purpose in mind, I would love the person who will link me to it. BTW, crickets noise is coming (in my case) from air re-circulation flaps in the sides of the rear bumper... I keep taping it but after a race day and the heat, it comes off lol... Many friends are like why you need a fr-s if you have a Golf R? to which i answer: I have no response that will make you understand... People don't get it Thanks all |

I think the lubrication system will put the limitation on reving, do some research on all the fixes that are out there. Other than that its just an NA engine, so intake, exhaust lengths, cam timing and ports just need to be matched to your targets. Its not cheap if you cant do it yourself. But it would probably sound nice

As stated above the oil pump will be your limiting factor on getting that RPM. Start looking into a dry sump and external oil pump solution. Stock ECU will be fine.

Is it just me, or is this the 4th new member in the last 2 months to ask what an NA build on a 2013 would take? Did something happen on instaspam or fecebook that is inspiring this? Or is this all the same person asking 10 times?
Or am I crazy?

99% sure it's a bot. If you look at the post history it's all really odd, like every post looks like a google search answer.
