Crawford Modifications

Does anyone have any experience with Crawford Performance modifications? I saw this video and it blew me away:

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKXzDhGhoEg"]Crawford Performance Turbo BRZ! Balance Meets Power - Ignition Episode 71 - YouTube[/ame]

Yes, I am going to drive my BRZ stock for a long while. That said, this video certainly got me even more excited about the potential of this car.

I certainly wonder how much $ it would cost to do all of the mods right thru the brakes, wheels, tires, etc.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

There's a whole separate board dedicated to forced induction and pulling ridiculous amounts of power out of this little engine. I would start there. There are also separate boards for tuning and suspension.

Also, that video you posted is more than two years old, and Crawford has been selling turbo kits for a while. They're not the only game in town, though, so you should see what else is out there and do a LOT of reading and research to see what best fits your needs.

Yeahhhhh... Crawford is quite pricey.

Nothing against them or their work, but you'll find the forum filled with quite a few people who have used other products and had nothing but success with them, both on the street and track.

Video is rather old haha. I'd probably just upgrade brake lines, brake pads, and tires before going all BBK.

You should check out Crawford billet power block if you want NA power from them. I believe its $300ish and it is supported by OFT.

If you're impressed by the power in that car you should check out FullBlown's car. I believe they hit over 700 hp

The video blew you away and blew away the cooling system. That Crawford setup is roughly $20k. There are far better options, head to the forced induction section and start reading

More than the cost of the car itself.
