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 apart from the $$$$ and the drive train/ gearbox potentially been unable to cope

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

Fucking LOL!

Don't make it too obvious, 'Linda'.

I got 2 pics I could put up.

I might say I've PM'd Aaron a pic.

Then he might get 1000 PM's asking for pics LOL

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
