Can you help me? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BigDaddyD ABB · 08-28-2018, 05:13 PM

I currently own a stock 2013 Subaru BRZ. My goal is make 550hp+ using a turbocharger. I am quite new to this type of stuff however I do have some background knowledge. If you could please help me by listing the needed parts and tools required to meet my goal, it would be very much appreciated.

Basics: turbo kit, built engine, clutch/flywheel, fuel pump and lines, tune.

Extras: drive shaft, brakes, suspension, oil cooler, catch can or aos, trans depending on how it’s driven, wheels/tires

Something more helpful than all of that though, you can search and find this info all over the site. I feel like this topic has been talked about at least a million and a half times. There is tons of great info if you search, and you’ll probably find an answer to all of your questions. All in though you’re looking at a 20k+ budget easy imo

A spare engine is something I'd have laying around if I planned to hit those number. Good luck!

Build engine.

Big turbo.

Built transmission.

Driveshaft

Axles

Tires (to put the power down).

550+hp, realistically, will take 15k+

^ These guys know what they are talking about.

How did you arrive at "550hp" as your goal? Will you be racing your car?

HKz · 08-28-2018, 06:43 PM

being "new at this" and wanting 3 times the stock HP with FI don't seem like a good mix unless OP has a bunch of money laying around to pay someone else to do it in which case why didn't he just call a local shop?

Driveshaft? Didn't know this was an issue.

100% agree with the rest of the list. Add a clutch.

Im around that power and I’ve spent around 10k but I did build my engine myself and did all the work myself except the boring/machining process.

Turbo kit

Fuel system/e85

Built engine

Good clutch/clutch fork

Catch can

Prayers that your trans doesn’t pop

The axles/shafts/tires are up to you if you wanna put the power down or enjoy breaking/spinning tires
