FRS/BRZ 11.3 @ 127 stock engine

red6spd · 09-07-2012, 08:45 PM

Yes it makes life 543095834095830 times easier to remove the engine to install a TT kit but it is not needed. There are several people on this forum who have done the install with the motor in place.

Here is a headscratcher:

There are all motor hondas in the low 10's.... Make that FRS/BRZ do that....

And last but not least that track looked pretty much closed to the public. That is not cheap and neither is the man hours that it took to make that car do that. That is not some simple drop the car off and pick it back up and it is in the low 11's now. Gimmie a break. Just marketing PR to drive up aftermarket sales only to ride on the huge amount of PR that ToyaBaru has already invested.

I have looked into renting billboards around town so I kinda can guess what this one on the side of the HWY is costing Scion right now. I bet easily close to $200k for a month and that is just in my area. No telling how many more if I drive north.

Last but not least I have seen the vid where the tranny maxs out in the 150mph range or something. What are they going to do for gearing??? I mean this was built for the 1/4 not out on a long fast road course. (I dont condone street racing in anyform)

The Z gets to 150mph with no issues and some, plus once at limiter there is more to go gearing wise with more WHP.

I would be pissed if this is what my $25k bought:

I mean seriously , this is the sports car this site is argueing over.... The z could do better driving head on into gale force winds.

I don't care if it's 30psi on a leafblower I wanna see anything run high boost for 100k miles, that is not the standard for judging whether a car has potential or not unless you're broke and can only afford one car to commute three hours a day in, in which case you're asking for it.

Also why are people asking to see this car do the same naturally aspirated? Is it one of those "take the turbo off and then we'll race" deals? Obviously the car's N/A runs will be listed differently and then we can compare the Z's numbers to it and argue about price and worth.

Christ you would think people who have any interest in cars would be happy that the affordable sport car wars are back, the first thing I did was put this video on Facebook.

That is very impressive.

I just want one making about 200 lbft from 2K RPM and peaking at a much more modest value, like 225ish.

If that were available with a warranty from Toyota, I'd be shopping for one right now.

Isn't traction one of the biggest issues with why the FI'd Z's haven't done that well? Most of them were on street tires anyway. Maybe some drag radials on some wide azz wheels along with a good driver will result in better times. Though there's only one person on here determined to make their 370Z a drag racing car and GT-R's are no where near having any nightmares yet

Slicks would be nice so as long as you trust the stock axles, I would think some modest drag radials and a longer first gear would be safer. The gearing of Z's is very much balanced around an N/A powerband. If you could stretch 1st gear to say 50mph it'd help consolidate the traction issues to one gear instead of fighting it for 2.

If I'm wrong I can only blame my newfound experience with heavenly 3.31 gears and only having to shift twice down the quarter, however 1st is really the only gear I'm thankful for.

Damn only shifting twice? I'm at like 3-4 shifts by the time I cross the 1/4 mile. Last shift is close to the line but I forget whether it's before or after it.

Yes I finish halfway through third gear.

Pretty sure my car with 8psi And 4.09 rear end would hang with that BRZ. 20 PSI on stock block.

Watch for BRZ engine rebuild thread soon!

Iceagetlc · 09-09-2012, 04:05 AM

Double post not sure how that happened
