FT-86 to be named FR-S...

[Evaku8]

Saw a grey one coming the opposite way with day time running lights on. Looked good to me!

Briefly, hell yeah

As for modern engines and ability to take boost...the ZZs seem to take quite a bit just fine, UR and GRs the same. Modern tuning and fuels mean it's the engines physical strength as the limit, as opposed to tuning det limitsas it used to be. Stock hp x 1.5 should be safe enough and provide worthwhile extra fun factor too

You do realise that the 2zzge is 15 year old design don't you?

i'm beginning to think those wheels are getting played out with the group buy going on the Oz section of ft86club

Who cares, I'd rather see more 86/BRZ with the Work wheels -much better than the terrible cheapo looking stockers

FFS, you get the point right?

Nothing wrong with the 16s. 17s are supposed to some throwback to previous design etc etc but they don't work well.

[Nero]

Your point being that regardless of engine you can force feed a std engine because you don't have to worry about detonation, just the physical strength? And we can automatically get 150% out of any current production engine because you can out of the three listed?
Wow.

Yeah, sorry I meant the 17s. No offence to those who do like them. I just think the 17s are too 1990s Hot4's Magazine in style and really don't suit. I agree the 16s are a good match, although they look a little small they remind me of Watanabe's a bit which is a good thing.

edit: Just drove with a white 86 GT in traffic when I went to pick up my mate from the pub, the 16s definitely look decent, especially on white

Wow.

Pretty much, allowing for your artistic licence with my words and without writing a farking essay to satisfy your predilection for analness. Glad you were impressed. When the stock internal versions with bolt on kits make 200kw (flywheel to be specific just for you, and yes I realise that's only 1.4 x stock) without melting to slag, a whole new world of amazement will be open to you

go back 6-7 pages and have a good look at the images of the piston for this engine. It would have a top land of 2mm in a cast piston in a high compression engine already designed to run on PULP injected by an injector with an unknown flow rate and unknown ability to flow more. HKS and SARD do not yet have higher flowing injectors for sale. I think some tuners will get 200kw out of one...big deal, fairy dust kW. A few runs on the dyno do not impress, when the same unopened engine can do 50 hard laps of Wakefield in a weekend for 3/4 weekends I will be impressed.

im sick in the head. But dfv's in the gen 4 are just stupid good.

at 4 grand for struts you are sick in the head

fucken pretty though

[MRMOPARMAN]

That brz is the hotness. 555 blue ftmfw. (and the wheels etc etc)

Oh, we are building a track engine now, not just some fun for the street that 90% of punters will want from this type of kit? :huh: My bad, must remember to second guess all possible irrelevant responses to avoid protracted dull exchanges of 'what about' in future

[MRMOPARMAN]

Justen, even you admitted before a vvti 1uz wouldnt take the power. 4age blacktop would be another one off the top of my head.

So yes most motors miiight take some boost. But not all. And obviously some can take more than others.

Stock hemi 6s lift heads at 6psi. And they would be lucky to have 8.5:1 comp.
