My special 2014 FRS mod list with some pictures.
Hello all, I rarely hop on the forums, I ended up just learning to do everything myself after a certain point since it seems like I'm at the point in my mechanical and electrical journey that not the average person is typically familiar with.
I have become very self-sufficient, and have little to no reliance on anyone else. I do still love to help others though because I know what it's like to be stuck and need some answers, so please if you have any questions about my journey feel free to ask me. I also have a couple of videos on YouTube with some stuff I've done. The videos aren't the best but they're better than nothing haha I wanted to make this post to kind of show off some of the mods and stuff I have done to my car, I am still amazed at how far this car has come from all the time, work, and effort I put into building my own "supercar" as I always say, why buy a corvette when you can build one? I say Corvette because that's usually the dream car of everyone I talk to in the car community and my friends. Without further ado here is my car and a few of the pictures I have of it. My car is a 2014 Base Model FRS and I picked it up on 20NOV2017, 6years ago as of this post. So to start with the mods, I have done them all myself as well, including the wiring projects, and I do have some tutorials. Suspension Tein Flex Z Coil Overs RacerX Front Lower Control Arms Racer X Rear Upper control arms Megan Racing Rear Lower Control Arms Racer X Tie Rod ends Racer X Rear Toe arms Moog Front and Rear Wheel Hubs Eibach Sway Bars front and rear White Line Adjustable Sway Links (Front and Rear) Wheels 57DR Rays Gram Lights 18x9.5 +38 (Black) Red/Black Gram Light Center Caps Exhaust Perrin 3 Inche Cat back I welded in a 3 inch 1/4 wave resonator to eliminate drone (it worked) Front pipe 2.5 inch Berk (Catted) Over Piper 2.5 Inch Berk, with AFR welded in bung JDL UEL Turbo Manifold (Catless) Engine Manley Pro Series I-Beam Connecting Rods Manley Extreme Duty Pistons Bored at 86.25mm Kings Racing Main Bearings Kings Racing Rod Bearings New OEM Crank Tomei 5 Layer Head Gaskets Super Tech Inconel Exhaust Valves Super Tech Black Nitrade Intake Valves 2017+ Red Aluminum Intake Manifold JDL V2 Turbo kit with Garret 2860rs turbo UEL Turbo Header, with 3 inch Down Pipe Greddy Oil Pan Baffle OEM Case Bolts (Research was done on case bolt stretch oem vs arp under load) ARP Head Studs Mishimoto Slim Radiator Fan Dual Radium Catch Cans Perrin Oil Cooler (Had to customize it to make it fit) Replaced all seals, timing chain components and bolts, replaced timing chain cover, and bed plate. Fuel System Stock Injectors (Have them just hasn't been installed yet) Stock Fuel Pump (Have one just hasn't been installed yet) Delicious Tuning Flex Fuel Kit (Easy to install, even though I had to run a wire through the firewall, and splice into the evap circuit) Tuning OFT Through Steve Wiseman (Well known ETuner on facebook) Drive Train ACT 6 Puck Clutch kit w/ LightWeight Flywheel MTEC Shifter Return springs Stock Tranny, Drive Shaft, Diff Stock Axles (Have 800hp rated axles coming in, in 3-5 business years) Interior JBL 3/4 Inch Tweater Speakers (Video Available) JBL 3 1/2 Inch DashBoard Speakers JBL 3 1/2 Inch Rear Seat Speakers (Pretty sure they're supposed to be 4 inch) JBL 6 Inch Door Speakers Sony XAV-AV6000 Head Unit w/Maestro Interface (Wireless CarPlay) STI Short Shifter paired with TRD Quick Shift Kit AEM AFR, Boost, Fuel Pressure Gauges, with GlowShift triple Gauge Pod A Pillar Cluster (I have a Oil Temp Gauge and Cluster mount, just haven't gotten to it yet) 2017+ GT86 Special Edition Red/Black Leather Steering wheel w/Buttons that function, custom wiring (Video available) Stock Instrument Cluster (I do have a facelifted cluster just waiting to get the odometer programmed with my miles) BRZ 2017+ Heated Seats that function (Custom Wiring Harness, and fuse box repin) 1lb Weighted Mishimoto Shift Knob (Highly Recommend weighted Knob) Exterior Installed Rear View Camera Perrin Front License Plate Bracket Nothing else besides my wheels, a sharkfin antenna, and some stickers. Also, my completely messed up rocker panel which happened from jackknifing the Uhaul trailer dolly with my truck. I bondo'd it and repainted it, it looks a lot better but still doesn't look good. I do have a Metallic Black Rose Wrap I plan on putting on my car during the Christmas and New Years breaks from work I also am thinking about the ML24 V2 Widebody kit in the future, I like that kit because it looks most like stock, and I really enjoy the stock look of these cars. Additional Notes There are still other mods I plan to do, I will most likely go with a bigger turbo thining of the Garrent 3076r Gen 2. Diff, Drive Shaft and Potential Tranny Rebuild are also inteded Currently working on a Dual Climate Control Retrofit Plan to have my car fully repainted after getting the widebody, (years later) I'm Absolutely sure there are some things I am forgetting to add as well. If anyone would like guidance on some of the stuff, I can try and give my best responses, and I can also provide some of the video links to the tutorials I have made. Additional Pictures |

Thank you my man, I appreciate it! Yea I would have just originally bought the 3076R but I didn't exactly intend to rebuild my engine when I did lol if I knew that everything that happened was going to happen I would have just bought that turbo to begin with. at what RPM does that turbo spool at? the 2860rs is basically immediate because it spools as low as 2500-3000 it's actually quite insane how fast it spools. Also i'm only on a 7lb spring at the moment, my tuner said I am good for 10lbs (In terms of the tune itself) I am considering gets a boost controller
