Reading up on the engine that will be going into the 86/BRZ. Subaru are putting a twin scroll turbo version of the engine into their 2012 Legacy GT. Potentially easy transplant into the 86/BRZ? 221kw and 400nm...

Yeh the ft86 run a compression of 12.5-1. Good luck to people who want to turbocharge the thing without either e85 or a decomp plate. They should have put the Subie version in all of them

It wouldn't surprise me if the second release of the 86/BRZ came with that turbo engine as an option anyway - it would be the logical choice if they were to release an "R" model - just a question of whether it fits into their marketing plan or not.

I think it all depends on the market that buys it I think. From a survey that merc are basing their upcoming range on is kids don't want fast car they are trying to get into classy things.. So mercs new range is aimed at kids, especially the price range..

Toyota wont put turbo charges motors in unless they're diesel because I reckon to have that option it's going to be f**king expensive with too many competitors

Well the Merc survey kind of contradicts the existence of the 86, which is as far removed from a Benz as you can get...but also a new car aimed at young people. The closest competitor I can think of in the expected price range of the 86 is the Golf GTI or MX5 and even then, they are completely different cars. So assuming the 86 succeeds at it's own target market, there may be room for a turbo model afterall.

That being said, I'd expect a turbo version to add at least 8-10 grand to the pricetag of the 86, with upgraded brakes and wheels etc., which would push it into Golf R32 / STi / Evo territory?

Well they obviously aren't aimed at the same market then. A turbo model would suit a mid 20's age group. If they are putting it up against a hairdressers car then they will definitely not turbo it. I guess they'll have to wait and see what market is buying them.

Nunawadding toyota have already asked a certain person to create the official optioned turbo kit for them, and kind of laughed when we found out the compression of em

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
