NA FRS
I’m currently trying to get more power out of my Scion FR-S, but it is my daily so I have no intent on any forced induction. Does anyone have any ideas on getting more horsepower. E85 is like finding 100$ bills where I live so no flex fuel. I have a performance chip a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust as well as lighter wheels and such. I dyno’ed at about 230hp

Do an NA engine swap I think that’s about as much as you’re going to get. You could drop $5k on a stroker kit and you might get 15 more or so. Also get aftermarket headers and do a stage 2 tune. That’s like +20 I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would like to do the headers and I’d need an OFT due to the fact that NO ONE in my area offers FR-S tuning. I was thinking I take manifold spacers as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Go buy a used one off someone. But NA power levels are low for this car honestly. You could do a backseat delete it drops 20lbs off the car. Lighter battery, take out the spare and hardware in the trunk. FI is the move man get a supercharger for reliability. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Don’t beat on it too hard and you should be alright. This car isn’t made for power though man. It’s for sliding and drifting. It’s okay if you lose to a mustang on your local hwy tell them to meet you at a mountain or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The more you research on this subject, the more you'll see that you can prevent it fairly easily. Get a centrifugal supercharger, don't put high load at low RPM, get a perfect tune, and don't get greedy. Check your oil, manage your heat, and let it rip.

I would be interested in seeing a Dyno sheet that says an FRS with a cold air intake, catback exhaust, aftermarket wheels, and a "performance" chip making 230 whp. Considering most people need E85, a header and a tune to reach ~200whp.

For the biggest power/torque increase, go with catless aftermarket headers + tune (Ecutek or OFT).
Feel free to PM us if have any questions about ANYTHING! -Sam |
