- A Modified Subaru BRZ with a Turbo is the best way to start your Wednesday 😀 So I got to drive this wonderful and turbocharged Subaru BRZ that looks killer, makes all the right noises, and is super easy to chuck around the local backroads! With the low center of gravity from the boxer 4 engine and a well-balanced front engine, rear wheel drive platform, a boosted engine is exactly what the BRZ / GT86 / FRS needed. Enjoy.

When you take a great car and make it even greater... we present to you a turbocharged Subaru BRZ :)
Roads Untraveled I've been thinking about adding a turbo to my car, but I don't know what to change other than just turbo. I'm in California so headers can't change. should I get a turbo from another car or buy one of those overpriced kits. I just need help because forums don't help and I don't know how much reliability would change.
Brandon Inkel use google, google gt86 turbo kits and look on forums
Brandon Inkel if you are on a budget look for used turbos from WRX or STi owners. The ebay turbos are good. But get good headers as the ebays headers are poo

The owner of the BRZ can easily hit 400whp by upgrading his injectors/ fuel pump and e85 ...thats the 20g setup.. and the stock fa20 is known to handle that much power with a good tune.
I totally agreed with Subaru for not putting a turbo/supercharger out of the box. Here is the thing, people keep saying that this is an “enthusiast” car. Most of the people don’t understand what that means. To explain it in simple words, this car is made so you could enjoy the car out of the box. It is put together perfectly in my opinion. You don’t have to be a really good driver to drive it to it’s limit to enjoy it. You can easily drift/powerslide without the need to be at high speed. This is exactly like the Mazda MX-5/Miata. It is made for you to enjoy the car, without throwing so much money, work, and time on it. Good gearbox, good engine, good tuning, good suspension, good handling, and good front engine RW drive setting out of the box. That is what “enthusiast” car means. You enjoy the car for what it is without any mods or upgrades on it. And after you have thoroughly enjoyed the stock car, somewhere down the line you can alway mod it for more power if you want to. A lot of the kids these days don’t understand this. They are born in a time where everything must be in a “my stuff is better then yours” situation. “My car got 1000HP”, “My car can do 0-60 in 0.125sec”, “My car can fly”, “My car is $1,000,000 more expensive then yours”. And afterwards proceed to drive it at 20-30mph all day long. Even in a track you can’t really drive the supercars nowadays at its limit. If you are not pushing close to the limit and beyond in your car, you are not thoroughly enjoying it. With the BRZ/GT86, you can and you can do it more often and more safely.
facts
I don't understand why they don't offer an STi model though? Even if they don't make a lot of them, it shouldn't take much to put one together.
@@IlliniDog01 There's an STI tuned option. Not a true STI though.
Ralph Vincent Nadela it’s not tuned at all, the “STI” version of it is just a performance package with Brembo brakes and different wheels and springs.
The problem with making an sti version of the car is just like why porche has a boxster cayman and carrera you upset a consumer balance when you make more power than the next model. I.E. brz, wrx, and sti
Markus u should get the owner of the cars to explain their cars again. Cool to see the owners POV of their own cars and see the owners.
Nabil P Yeah, like that r32 gtr review.
As per your skyline comment, I agree that it's a better performer out of the box, but as a daily driver I would take the brz, even sans turbo kit.
Right hand drive, questionable ownership history, insurance headaches and dealing with overseas parts for minor repairs and maintenance are a lot of headaches to deal with on a DD.
Agreed, without a doubt an R34 has its downsides as a daily, but around Vancouver there is really no shortage of RB parts and shops who carry various JDM parts. Insurance is the same as any other vehicle on the Skyline, just slightly more expensive.
Roads Untraveled that may be the case in British Columbia but in provinces with privatized insurance most insurance companies won't even touch rhd cars or highly inflated as you will have to find insurance through a broker. Some provinces you can't even register a newly imported car (Quebec). So in my opinion owning rhd is more of a hassle than anything else
you're not a real car guy
Mysterious Laptop who is not a cat guy
I live in Washington state and I don't even make that much money I get like $700 every week I saved up for my R32 and I bought my R32 GT-R and everything is going smooth so far been driving it for a while I like the attention like my Volvo when people didn't expect to hear the 2JZ oh and there's a few JDM shops out here that will gladly help fix your Skyline they also do rb26 and 2J swaps for certain cars they did my Volvo

Spending more money on decent tyres instead of cheap n nasty Firestones will solve more problems.
when the car flips like a ford explorer hell come to his senses.
Most likely some of the reason for the vague steering is the Firehawks with their marketing gimmick tread pattern and low quality construction. If you are going to spend all that money on turbo-charging, I just don't get why you would cheap out on the most important performance part on the car.
Matthew Sharpe been driving on this tire for 2 years now. Been at the auto cross and track and it has been great.
Ye this guy cut corners lol. Lowering springs and cheap ass tires is just asking to crash
+Jonathan Ting Trust me, Firestone don't make any great tyres - they are fine for commuting or if you really can't afford anything else, better than really poor stuff like Linglangs or Achilles etc, and that's about it. If you want a good all weather performance road tyre that can do light track work at a good price, Bridgestone RE003's are OK though lacking a little in the wet & start to lose adhesion when they get very hot, if you have a bit more money, go for a Michelin Pilot Sport 4, which are astoundingly good wet or dry, cold or hot & IMO the best price/performance you can get currently, at least of everything I've tried - if you just want the very best, Pirelli P-Zero or Michelin Pilot Super Sports though you can only get them in 19" and up and they are pretty horrifically expensive. There is a night and day difference between a budget tyre like a Firehawk I500 and any of the above, it'll totally transform the car.
A brz is my dream car. It's SO GOOD LOOKING
Trevor Baker once you get it you'll want to return it cuz how slow it is
nah got mine brand new 7 months ago. puts a smile on my face every time i see it and get in.
Trevor Baker , you have a very low dream to achieve then. Aim higher
Bmw M3 e46 you don't buy a BRZ/86/FRS for speed.
@@fjaajf Fuck BMW, will give you nothing but trouble. I would take a brz over an e46
Even though it doesnt have the rumble, you can still hear a signature F4 sound, almost like a faint rumble.
Thanks again for featuring my songs maaaaaaan. Fuck these videos are soooo sick I love each and every one
MARKUSAURELIUS Do you sell your music to them?
Free for friends :)
100% Toyota/Subaru should have added a turbo to this from factory.
Never mind that 9/10 people crowing for more power don't have the skill to drive these to their limit in the first place.
Pretty sure anyone can push their car on a straight away. Skillz, pssh
Someone get that man a license plate delete kit! His intercooler will thank you.
The front plate is mandatory in BC
I actually meant relocation kit. I have one on my wrx that relocates it to the side of the bumper and screws into the tow thingy.
Oh, I see. That sounds like a great thing that I should have
Tow thingy lol i like that
wrx effect You mean the ugly exoposed intercooler?
Looks like it got in a wreck and had the bumper removed
For those who crap on the Firestones, those are the rebrand RE003 from Bridgestone, they are one of the leading in Ultra Performance Summer Tires. And they offer a great performance for the price. Do your research.
it may solve most of my problems, but not my daddy issues ;)
Damn. This girl kinky.
it's electra complex tho, but nice pun
sup girl
brz turbo
...Least she honest lol
It's always confused me why they made this without a turbo from day one as a standard item.
They claim it would ruin the car.
fefnirscards Yeah I remember them saying that. My first response was : when has a turbo boxer motor ruined anything?
Except a few gearboxes lol
Kano Wins It would really change the game.
A stock turbo 86 would be amazing.
For sure. Such a shame.
i have erectile dysfunction, will it solve this?
Wesley Mcnicholas it*
Sorry I had my penis in one hand and typing with the other
Wesley Mcnicholas i bet it did
Wesley Mcnicholas what penis?
Wesley Mcnicholas Yes sir
you couldn't tell me that this rim/tire fitment isn't darn near perfect.
Lenwood Cruze I'm looking for what springs and what the setup is for his XXRs I want the exact same setup but I want 552s
this cars wheels like turned in on an angle or is it just me?
I'm so glad I finally got my FRS ! Turbo is definitely on the wishlist.
Why put a turbo on this and not a good exhaust and UEL headers? It sounds like a cheap Honda.
Joshua Amador he has equal length headers
It sounds nothing like a fartcan Honda..
You can’t run uel headers and be boosted es no bueno
@@JustMellowGaming You can, check JDL Turbo. It used UEL header
Subies with equal length sound like pissed off hondas in a way but I’ve heard some great setups that didn’t really sound ricey but ofc you can’t beat UEL
I like your style mate. Much better than so many boring presenters. Hats off.
If anything, I feel like having a turbo Br-z will just create more problems 😂
Does the exhaust tips not being centered bother anyone else?
Both are waaaay off center. That would drive me nuts if it was my car.
This car is a total mess...thrown together by some kids in a backyard
You said you can get a r33 for the same price but the problem is unless you have a lot of cash saved up your not getting financing for a skyline at the price someone will want versus its actual value. Great video👍🏻
I think that brz should not sound like a wrx. This one spumds the best
how the fuck can you turbo an NA car and not have it on the dyno yet? wtf??
Mysterious Laptop because people are retarded thats why
I cant see how people bolt on these turbos without replacing any internals.
Thee Parris Hill probably don't want to fork out that extra 4k
Your should be able to increase HP up to a certain amount. Don't overdo it. I'd probably just do na mods ;p
RicedFg2 the stock internals can handle about 400 whp
I plan to buy a base model Toyota 86. No turbo. Never had anything but problems with turbo cars.
This is a really clean BRZ. and not over the top. And no Rocket Bunny kits ricing. Most concern of just turbocharging the stock engine is the pistons and con-rods are not suited for high boost. Those need to change if you are hitting 350bhp or close to 400bhp. 280bhp with boost is like more than enough for a car this light.
I really can’t believe he said he’d rather have a four door skyline than a true coupe sports car.
I didn't know the actor from Valerian made RUclips videos lol. For real though I enjoyed this video. I own a 13' FRS and I totally agree with you, I'm probably gonna go the turbo route.
Well done on your success, and even more well done for plugging your boy Markus Aurelius! Keep that collab coming!!
This can be called the BRZ STi if the engine spec is similar to the WRX STi. The stock final drive could be a tad shorter to reduce the 4000rpm torque dip. A good ECU reflash and better fuel delivery is needed. The stock fuel pump can be chirpy.
nice car sounds great too.
Pretty much all 86/BRZ's are stock on the roads...finally saw a really nice turbo'd one the other week....lowered, had actual non prius wheels and tyres on and a good exhaust!!!
A lot to be said for a small turbo on a high high comp engine, as long as the tuning is good it's a great combo for the road
This channel is underrated. You should have 1 million + subs. Awesome content
I like the BRZ, I like it with a turbo more but I'd rather have a supercharged S2000 if I could fit in a little car.
subaru should have made a brz sti
b00st3d BMW dont know why the fuck they didnt fuckin idiots for that
b00st3d BMW Theres a concept of brz sti
b00st3d BMW It Would COMPETE With THEIR WRX STI SALES TOO Much Sorry For CAPS phone is acting up
I_Am_Vital not really one is awd one is rwd two different markets and what would it matter they are still making money regardless.
I_Am_Vital So? They'd still make money? Besides, AWD and RWD.
id have to say, when this car came out or rather before it even came out i wanted it soo bad, all my friends were hating on it though, i ended up buying an S2k instead. i loved it and ive always loved honda's engineering from bikes to cars but til this day i wish i wouldve got the GT86, the s2k was a very snappy wheelbase, which although its fun as hell its super scary doing some higher speed drifts. i love the styling so much of these 3 cars and eventually when the price drops enough ill pick one up. just a shell would be perfect. 1JZ swap for sure. id do a canyon carver/drift build... just my 2 cents on this car, ive always loved it but never had the chance to experience it yet... all of the factors that went into making it make it such a great car to hit surns and slide around, an STI rally awd version of the brz would be sweet, and some sort of better TRD GT86 would be cool too, then the FRS should do a street package, i think it would attract a lot of buyers if they took all 3 which are virtually the same and offered out of the box race packages!
The reason they never made it a turbo from the beginning was because this was supposed to be a comeback future version of the AE86. Hence, the FR layout: light, stomp on the gas hard and have it slide out on. In a sense it was to mimic the AE86. Also they wanted it to go the AE86 route for longevity, people could tune and add performance parts of their own liking. Having a turbo from the start would have made it pretty boring comparatively then that of a NA in which you can add induction rather than it coming straight out of the box. BRZ/FRS/GT86 was meant for those to customarily build rather than just buy with performance. The 86 back in the day came with only like 140 hp but you see people with AE86s' of all styles. That the route they went with this. Probably why you'll never see a turbo GT86.
Actually an R34 will solve all of my problems.
GhoStrike rather have a Hakosuka in my garage ✌🏻
iHeart GT86 {KatyCat} noshit sherlock .. its still the nickname of the kpcg10 gtr
I'm an older guy 55 years old I just picked up a BRZ 2015 with 35.000 kilometres for a great price from a kid in Ontario whats the best turbocharge kit name and make, do I buy for my new BRZ, also do I need to replace the stock muffler system to sound like the one in the video? I don't know anything about cars? this is my C19 project my budget is $ 2,500 thanks.
Some nights, i feel lonely 😔 can this Subaru solve those problems?
Marcus you getting gains bro? Arms lookin bigger.
+Remyx doing what I can my man!
Roads Untraveled Awesome!!! Love the vids btw keep it up. My favorite channel since starting to get into cars. Cheers!
Was going to say the same!
they could literally drop a wrx engine in this and it be one of the best cars ever
The wrx motor is the same motor just with a turbo, so essentially this is a wrx motor
It doesn't sound very good though.. maybe needs different exhaust 🤨
Very cool car, exactly what it should have been from factory. I purchased a used Cayman S (with 2 years warranty) but had looked at the BRZ. If this was an option from a dealer I would have likely went this route.
Review a well put together SRT-4 if you can. Most people hate them, some people love them. They're definitely a one trick pony but they are good at that one trick, and sound great while doing it.
There was a review for a supercharged or turbo charged brz vs a stock na s2000. People chose the stock na s2000 because it has enough power and reliability where as turbo/supercharged brz had the power but tons of issues to maintain that power. I think a subaru wrx turbo would be just as fun as a turbo brz imo.
Never understood why they won't just release a turbo BRZ. With how well the relatively slow N/A one sold and still sells, one with a turbo would sell like mad.
Do you have someone taking those outside shots of the car as it drives by or is it that tripod that tracks the car?
what kit is that? I like the power band on it
Kano WIns said why no BRZ turbo? My guess is that was part of the deal between Toyota and Subaru. Similarly, Subaru could up the sales on the Impreza/XV (and other Subies) by switching out the 150ish horsepower motor for the BRZ's 200 horsepower. It's sorely needed as the current safety-driven models keep getting heavier and slower than previous generations.
I always thought it would be cool to swap in the FA20 out of WRX but a small turbo is cool too.
321 Style doesnt the brz already have a FA20?
Augusto Ortiz yeah but the one out of the wrx has the twinscroll turbo
321 Style I've always thought it would be cool to see someone putting an F22 into a brz, higher hp, higher rpm straight out the box! then boosting it
Sergio Gonzalez never thought of that one but it sounds way cooler hahaha
I see that in a Lordco, and always been curious about it. This video helps answer my questions. Nice channel!
There should be a FA30 Flat 6 engine, that would solve the BRZ/GT86 problem
I'll take off the equal length headers and swap it out to unequal length headers lol.
Really wish Rocketeer would make a V6 kit for the ND MX5 RF already. You'd love that.
"... other than the awesome handling"
That's... a side-note to you? lol
Good good video bro definitely buying a BRZ next year!
great video as always Markus! been here since 10k and your quality just keeps getting better! ever thought of a cross canada road trip testing cars? alberta high horsepower, prairie drag racers, ontario and quebec track and drifting? etc etc
What boost was being made? Looked through all comments, but didn't see it...i wouldn't think much boost is needed, 8-10psi at most to keep it livable...and yes, I would put a rear muffler back on the car...otherwise nicely done
Been your fan for quite a while now. Your content is on par with some of the best on RUclips. Keep it up guys!
My NA 4 sentra sentra like this without the turbo fun car
There's just sooooo many around I couldn't bring myself to buy one
I think a well done boosted brz is wayy cooler than any wrx
Eric Campbell awd>rwd
Yes keep the uploads coming
Man that sounds like a trumpet fart
Sooooo many dope videos lately
You have a turboed BRZ/FRS. They just started making turboed Miata ND's lol.
i have those tires on my STi. Love em for the road! Not for the track.
Surely the owner installed some pistons to lower the compression ratio to 10:1, sleaved the block or did something beyond just installing a turbo kit and calling it a day? Blowing 4UGSE blocks when trying to boost stock internals seems to have become a theme for the Toyota 86, albeit I haven't tried boosting one myself, and lowering the CR to 10:1 from 12.5:1 would help a lot.
why would you swap in an antiquated EJ that would require a ton a custom fab, not to mention a complete wiring harness & ECU into a BRZ? your better bet would be to build the FA's internals to handle more boost. I'm always on the more displacement bandwagon, but half a liter at the cost of 10years of RD is not a fair trade
I love the rims. What are they? Thanks.
I want a gt86 but want to keep it N/A a high compression build would be nice imo
gurjinder singh what compression ratio did you have in mind? They're already 12.5:1
Definitely agree. Got a 2017 Boosted BRZ myself ;)
Love the cars you review! Keep up the good work!
If only this platform had a 2.0L as easy to make power as the VW EA888. Oh just flash in a tune and make near 300 whp? Sure!
Man your really lucky driving on such sweet roads wish I could drive my car there
I agree put the rocket bunny and big wing
Drop the bass, BOWWOW chicka chicka OWWOWOWWOWO BUMP BUMP BOWOW
The Skyline GT-T is quite a porker though, nowhere as graceful around the corners as the BRZ. It's much easier to put more power to a light car, than make a heavy one handle better.
My turbo miata, certainly solved mine. ;)
I am in love this subra BRZ😍
Manz better be using forged pistons
I've got an 86, definitely got to turbo it :D
This channel should have WAYYYYYYYY more subs. Awesome stuff!
IT CAN SOLVE ALL MY ISSUES EXCEPT FOR MY DAD LEAVING
Love that new BC plate 😍
Nice colour. .love your vids guys.
How how they not come out with a stock turbo brz STI yet? I mean cmon. I've had a prototype model kit if it for 3 years already lol.
swap in a s2000 motor high revving is joy
Why doesn't Subaru add a turbo from the factory? I understand that they want to make it a commuter car and a "sports car" but I think they should sell it for less than what they currently are especially if they don't have it turbo charged. It has decent specs but there isn't much to offer to say it's a sports car unlike a Nissan 370Z which is a sports car and has the power, feel and actual all around build to show for it. Sure it doesn't have the back seat but you have a sports car who needs the back seats? I'm a little disappointed by the brz and frs. You can purchase a 370Z for the same price no joke I just looked it up.
Not tuned?? I hope you mean it atleast has an off the shelf map
That trumpet exhaust
SavageGeese had all kinds of problems when it was supercharged. But this seems like the better route to go. Great review, but the car sounds horrible!!
Great content! Keep it up! What happened to travel vlogs did i miss them?
How did you capture perfect exhaust sound without wind noise? What mic? Placed how?
Is that the stock rear bumper also id like to know where he found the spoiler for his car id like to get one for myself
Love the car, not the muffler.
How's the reliability? any major issues with cooling during track duty? (see savage geese video about the supercharged frs he got rid of...)
07wrxtr1 have had the kit for 7000 km now. Not a single problem
Idk about that exhaust. I prefer the actual engine sound :)
