Thanks to a series of mechanical upgrades highlighted by the addition of a turbocharger system, reprogrammed ECU and a catless exhaust, the BRZ's 2.0-liter flat-four is said to produce a massive 440-horses…at the rear wheels.

We may have many questions about longevity, reliability and what it does to the car's handling around corners, but when it comes to a straight line, there's no doubt that this BRZ rocks. The modded Subaru coupe recorded a quarter mile time of 11.3 seconds with an exit speed of 127mph (204km/h).

I love my Si but the BRZ could def be a future car for me..

with a turbo?

 

[redsfan]

I don't make that kinda bank lol, would be nice tho.. I prob wouldn't even attempt to get one for another couple years. I heard there's gonna be 2014 brz sti, still NA but kinda makes me wonder how much it will be. Since they already start at 26k.

you know that a few places have tested the 12si vs. the 13brz and the si won by a tenth of a second?

The Si had the summer Michelins though. Plus RWD is so much moar funs...

I still haven't had all my fun w/ this car, so like I said before it'll be down the road..

440hp, eh?

Any more info on the build?

engine and tranny are stock.

To get these figures, the 2.0-liter boxer engine was equipped with a turbocharger, an AEM Tru Boost Controller and a high-performance exhaust system. There's also an upgraded fuel pump, new injectors, an Exedy clutch and a reprogrammed ECU. Thanks to these modifications, the car produces 440 hp (328 kW / 446 PS) and 340 lb-ft (460 Nm) of torque - at the rear wheels." Kit is around $5k

So for ~$30K you could have a little FR-S 440hp monster.......interesting.

Wow, that's more power/torque than my (stock) vette.

An installed SC for the vette would be about 9K+, and would put over 600 HP at the rear wheels. I'd be afraid of breaking things though, and would probably have to "upgrade" some other items to be safe.

^ which is a question to the motor/trans strength of the fr-s.... can it take over double it's stock rating safely? How long..

You don't need 440hp for the dragon...

You can buy a used Lotus for $30k and it will outperform the FRS! ^_^

That 6spd won't last long, I'm interested to see what P&L's auto turbo BRZ does.
