Harrop Supercharged Second Gen BRZ

A quick walk-around of my current build status, along with some initial driving impressions of the supercharger. Dynos and a quick video of some pulls are included!

[@ideamr2]

Finally! a real Harrop supercharger review!! Awesome Sir thanks for the vid!

[@wolvesbrigade1700]

Dude this is exactly how I wanna do my fucking build parts wise omfg I love it. Great to see someone with taste!

[@davidgoliath5901]

Mines a weekend car with odd track day work. Minor mods only; wheels, tyres (re71rs), brake pads (Pagid) and cat back (AWE). BUT crucially it wears a S/C that was fitted by Harrop (Australia). Its a super neat install. It takes whats effectively a great tool and launches it to another level. Overtaking is blistering, response is immediate with plenty of punch from just 4000rpm. You simply no longer need to visit the redline to make things happen. You can exploit the chassis balance with your right foot at any time. I masked up the raised s/c lettering and power sanded the letters a few thou back to bright alloy. :)

Aussie here. Loving the representation in the States. Very nice ride sir.

I love the build, it looks great. I just got a 2nd gen and am looking to start building it soon

[@skidmarks-ov3hn]

What a coincidence. I was just watching your Gen 1 SC'd vs Gen 2 drag race and noticed you uploaded

[@trippinbillies41]

I think we're going to redo it now. Not because anyone has any doubt about the outcome, but for the good of science 😂

Beautiful

[@boywonderrr71]

Nice build!! I had a 15 Golf R and It was fun. I think this car with its low weight 2881 & rwd will be a blast. Plus with those AP monsters and tier 1 kit on the suspension with the SC. Sheeeeet bieotch, its GO TIME!! You mentioned sanctioned events, SCCA or ? I seen OR SCCA but u mentioned LA canyon carving. Willow Springs (if not sold to developers) maybe Buttonwillow time attack? Also sounded like upgraded stage 2 clutch and flywheel? I hated the single mass chatter but loved how fast the engine spun up, something like 15-20 pounds of savings makes a huge diff.

[@trippinbillies41]

I'm doing mostly SCCA stuff up here right now but hoping to get down to some CA events when my little girl gets a bit older and it's easier to get out of the house for a weekend. Maybe Gridlife at Laguna later this year if I can get an oil cooler figured out. And yeah, have the CSG spec OS giken in there. Definitely chattery but it reminds me of the Ducati I had haha.

[@1Solace]

Love the Subaru livery

[@chuckcribbs3398]

I dig it.

[@NicholasZak]

dude, this is epic and finally someone with quality suspension! How does this hold up on track? any heat soak issues after any amount of time?

[@trippinbillies41]

@@NicholasZak thank you! Just got the supercharger done and still working on a custom oil cooler design that will work with the splitter brackets. I'm hoping to get back out on track by fall this year. Several back to back autocross runs in 100 degree heat didn't phase it though. 220degree oil, 195 water, and IAT hovered around 135.

[@Arbestia]

Astonishing work, looks amazing :) wish I could do the same on mine without runnning into trouble with my country regulations :( I love the wing! Where did you get it? Enjoy the little rocket!

[@trippinbillies41]

Thanks! The wing is from Zebulon. They're in Colorado and are incredibly knowledgeable. They provide aero for a ton of motorsport teams from GT cars to open wheelers. It's a far more efficient air foil than your typical options but priced accordingly.

[@CSHracer]

Back when these first hit the market, I collected dyno numbers from 40 different cars, the average WHP was 214whp, so 192whp is definitely pretty low compared to the average, definitely a low reading dyno. You could probably add about 10% correction to your numbers and be a bit more accurate, though, as you mention, it's really the percent gain that matters, as every dyno reads different.

[@trippinbillies41]

Agreed! Mine read 218 on a dyno in Aurburn WA when I first got it, so bench math says it's 355rwhp on a more typical dyno.

Hi there, nice build👍Just curious, can you still put front strut bar after installing the supercharger?Does it interfere?

@@maskedguyplays4814 I don't have a strut bar and haven't tried so I can't answer that unfortunately.

@@trippinbillies41 have they given you a noticeable improvement? I just got the perrin rear shifter bushing installed and am considering the perrin transmission bushing. Idk much about the white line diff and subframe inserts.

[@trippinbillies41]

@@jackwicker I think the whiteline stuff made a more noticeable difference that the transmission stuff. But beware that the subframe and diff stuff will add a LOT of nvh.

[@trippinbillies41]

Yeah hopefully next week. First autocross video after the supercharger being made tomorrow, then later in the week I'll go out for a drive and give some more impressions and pulls.

[@sokhar69]

What do you think the 0-60 has dropped to now?

[@trippinbillies41]

Genuinely have no idea but I plan on messing around a little bit with launch control and should be able to take some video to get a rough idea. I also plan to put a 3.9 final drive in it which should help that.

[@bhaliwka1091]

Nice car ... $? All in all for super charger including installation

[@shibaspeed]

No oil cooler?

[@trippinbillies41]

I had to take off the Jackson racing cooler because it wouldn't fit anymore. After I get the splitter on I'll start working on a custom solution for it.
