Brake cooling ducts of a Porsche GT3 can be fitted to the wishbones if not already done. I don't drive as agressive as Misha but did 6 laps in a row last year with a first gen BRZ and different pads/rotors. Oil temp got a bit high at 135°C, would upgrade the cooler and I hope a baffle plate is installed. My GT86 specialist recommends 5W50 on track. Coolant temp seems to be running away as well, 108°C is a bit much compared to stock 88°C imho.

[@chickcharmbrother]

I do have brake ducts, as well as an Oilcooler, also different fluid and all you can do with the stock calipers. They are just to small. It is Not easy to find something as an upgrade which is good and also TÜV approved. But Misha and Lapo now got me something 😉

[@chickcharmbrother]

And another cooling mod is also on the way 😊

@@chickcharmbrother As long as TUV approved you can crash safe in the knowledge your Piddly little brakes are Approved!. Sometimes "Sensible" German and Common sense just don't mesh!.

[@cw205mi16]

Strapping a big turbo is the cause of that massive temp gains, definitely needs a big oil cooler and that will help keep coolant temps in check

[@whiteunclerukus]

Seeing a lot of misinformed comments here, the problem with the 135c oil temp is the OIL PRESSURE, yes the oil itself can handle running that hot but at that temp your oil pressure is significantly lower than what’s needed to keep the engine properly lubricated and you start to skim bearings.

[@vvevvevvvv]

People are just generally scared to see big numbers on the dash. Not really understanding much on how the engine works.

[@SereneSpeed]

True. Though I’m sure the stock garbage 0-20 Toyota oil is long gone. A quality 5-40 should be good at that temp. A good 50 weight is recommended for sustained temps over ~135c/275f.

[@whiteunclerukus]

@@SereneSpeed Yup, in this case if he’s still running the factory 0-20 that motor is as good as gone lol

[@yugimotobutjacked3231]

You only upgrade the cooling after you destroyed everything from power mods. How else do you learn hahaha

[@volvo09]

I like that he kept the internal wastegate / recirc valve... I really don't like cars that "sneeze" every shift.

[@FriendlyIntentions]

Deff need a bigger oil cooler. 135c on oil is VERY VERY hot.

[@DillonShelburn]

That was my first thought. My gr86 blew up at 253°F, with less than 1,000 miles on my oil change. 19k miles of street driving. These engines needs thick oil and to be changed very 3,000 miles, if not more

[@JPTinioMedia]

​@DillonShelburn The gr86 platform also has a flaw with silicone and the oil pick up.

[@DillonShelburn]

@@JPTinioMedia oh know, i had a 2022 GR86 and have been through all of this. There’s a channel (900BRZ) and he’s done a tome of instrumented, measured testing it’s been proven not as the root cause of the oiling issues. It’s moreso the pan, baffling, and other issues that reside within the block. The silicone/rtv issue is a problem, but it’s not the main problem.

[@FriendlyIntentions]

​@@DillonShelburn Yep, in a race format I would not let oil go over 115 continuous and maybe a peak at 120c for a short amount of time. Oil pressure really dips after 110c. For example Motul 8100 x-cess 5w40 @ 100C has a viscosity of 14.2 mm²/s. If you have 50 psi of oil pressure @ 100c @ 120C oil pressure is approx. 29psi if viscosity is 8.32 mm²/s using the Walther formula. I dont even want to know how low it is at 135C

After seeing all of the bang for your buck cars you’ve done, I would really love to see you do a 4th generation turbo mazda 3! That car is stock at 250hp and 320lb/ft of torque, and I’ve always wanted to see how it would perform on the Nurburgring!

[@gar24407]

EFR7163 is the turbo used on Indy cars. Excellent turbo. Now this lap shows the drawbacks of a FMIC, it blocks airflow to the radiator when it needs more cooling. So the water and oil temp slowly climb has the engine just cant get rid of the heat.

[@FairladyS130]

No mention of lubrication improvements, leave it stock and the bearings will be shot if pulling race G's.

[@chickcharmbrother]

I run different pads(endless), hard lines , Racing fluid, different Discs. As well as brake ducts. For Street use it was ok. I have to get something with TÜV , which is Not easy in Germany. But Stay tuned, the next upgrade is on the way

[@vyviid]

As long as the driver isn’t a dipshit… the stock brakes can handle the cars weight and speed just fine, you just can’t outdrive the car and need to know its limits. Brake fade would happen at stock power when lapping like this aswell, just not as fast.

[@oszb]

Nice knowledge depth for the car, will be fun to see it when it returns complete. (or at least in a more complete form, as I'm assuming it will never be truly complete) Turbo spool-up sounds amazing.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

[@L86END]

Brakes, man! The blitz brake kit is by far my favorite aesthetically. The 4 piston big caliper kit fits 17s, although nobody really runs it. But yep. Enjoying my kit. Not really suited for autox cuz uhhh😅 a little more brake bias in the rear, and now it's slipping the rear on the potenza RE71s with stock power. So if youre gonna go big, do all 4 i suggest😂😂

[@adampopper8140]

It needs a oil cooler. The oil was 130+ in the finish line...

[@lacinagy9344]

Great lap Misha. I love this car❤

[@hondanickx]

Great lap ,these cars can be a lot of fun.About the brakes my 2018 civic has the same weight ,same size discs and a single piston caliper with about the same brake pad size.They however are 25mm thick stock where as the gr86 are 24mm. I think the biggest culprit is that the discs can't get rid of the heat fast enough .294x24mm with a double piston caliper vs the BBK which is at least 330x28mm. I think a 300x28mm disc with internal pillar vanes would work with the stock calipers without overheating.

This is the only turbo GR86 that uses the EFR turbo. Wish more shops had an option to use an EFR turbo for their kits, not just for the GR86, but for any turbo kit. They spool so quick. I had one on my Evo 8 before I sold it, not even the stock turbo spooled so fast and definitely way faster than the GT35R I previously had on it.
