AVO proved a simple EL header and tune drastically improved torque and peak whp I'll try to find a dyno sheet. But it went damn near 200rwhp with just the HKS headers.

Yes I've seen that a a thousand other dyno charts posted on this forum. Dynos don't tell the whole story. quarter mile trap speeds tell a lot about performance upgrades (with a competent driver.) Its data that this forum is seriously lacking. One guy with a $5k Votech supercharger trapped 100 mph with a 2" 60ft launch, so I am still skeptical about moddying this car until we start getting real information.

Front upper A-arm: AP1 issue. Spot welded. Seam welded on AP2. Fix: reweld or reinforce. oil starvation: owner error rear axles: only if you're making big torque (it's a honda) CV: result of change in right height (because you dropped the car). Fix: Swap CV cups left/right or get axle spacers. Wheel bearings: wear and tear items on track cars ONLY (once a year item, if that. Costs $30/bearing). Brake rotors: Car is over 15 years old in design. Today's tires didn't exist when it was made. It was also released with a 205 front tire. We all run 255 now, in way stickier compounds. Fix: $30 rotors or BBK. |

But, to be fair, that's due to a setup error on the S2000 (I don't agree with how that s2k is set up), and the s2k driver's experience. At the time the video was shot, the lap pace in that video was about 2.5 seconds slower than my hot lap pace with the stock BRZ. |

Most suspensions for the BRZ/FRS make the car understeer like a FWD. Understandable, since most people going to this platform come from FWD, and are used to FWD push, and freak out at the slightest amount of rear twitch. I've thought about it, and virtually everyone who regularly tracks a FRS/BRZ comes from AWD/RWD backgrounds. The FWD guys all do one or two days, scare themselves, and generally don't come back... |

Think of it this way. This is a VERY crude way of thinking about it, but the S2k has 17% more RPM, so the FRS/BRZ would need to make 17% more torque, to have equal output at the wheels. Has anyone increased output with the FA20 that much? Nope. It's just not possible. |

Lack of horsepower is really what's holding them back, but for under 10k, you can make a DEADLY car. BRZ/FRS CSG spec Tein SRC RPF1 + RS3 Innovate supercharger Just imagine the possibilities... |
