What is my next move after turbo kit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

beforprez · 03-29-2014, 06:59 PM

I recently bought a 2013 Auto Fr-s.. This car from what I can tell has an invidia exhaust and a Greddy turbo kit on it. That is the only upgrades that I can tell. So my questions is what should i be doing next. I dont mean for looks or anything. I strictly mean on a drivability and power front. I know you can say there is a # of routes I could go, i want to hear what you would do next.

Thank you for your help

Breaks and suspension

psyclone07 · 03-29-2014, 08:36 PM

Suspension, rims, tires, track time.

Ya I got it for 20k out near Chicago and drove it back to the Pittsburgh area

Wasn't sure if I needed to upgrade the fuel or anything before I take it to get tuned, I am sure it's been tuned but the mystery of not knowing if it's running properly is killing me, since it wasn't me who put it on and watched it getting tuned

Robispec oil/water cooler system
Brakes
Suspension
Tires
Get a spare engine to slowly forge for crazy power later on...

The previous owner didn't provide documentation, dyno graphs, contact information for the person/shop that did the tune?

Did it come with the EcuTek license information? Cable for logging? Do you have gauges to at least monitor..?

get a tune and have a shop look over the install to make sure everything is 100% and to make sure its not still running on a base map tune. if everything is good then i would do

clutch
coilovers
rims

lexusb3 · 03-30-2014, 12:27 AM

rims and tires.....and more tires

protpibe · 03-30-2014, 12:45 AM

That's a bit of a vague question. What do YOU want the car to be? Are the wheels, tires, suspension, and brakes stock?

beforprez · 03-30-2014, 01:45 AM

Yes it seems everything is stock besides turbo kit and exhaust. At least from what I can tell

Unfortunately I have no clue who owned it before me, I bought this from a dealer outside Chicago who bought it from carmax who got it from someone who traded it in. It's a long line of people between me and the original owner. Assuming the original owner really needed money to trade it in at car max after all that work
