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...

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

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

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
