[@iqglider483]

Just throwing it out there. Most intakes are actually less efficient than the stock intake. If you want it for the looks go for it, but it isn't a great idea for power vs catless and E85 for getting a little more out of it

[@jca4343]

Intake, headers, e85. Dip is gone. Car runs great for a na low power car

[@Danbarnes0311]

You are forgetting about sound tube the stock intakes on these cars come with that get removed with most if not all stock location intake kits for this car. The tube puts more stress on the engine and creates a slight power loss proper tubing with an aftermarket intake like the grimmspeed kit does actually allow for more power as it reduces breathing restriction points for the engine

[@iqglider483]

@@jca4343 do you really think it's a bigger gain than if you just did headers and E85, though?

[@iqglider483]

@@Danbarnes0311 if that's the case wouldn't the biggest intake related jump be from just deleting the sound tubing, not the intake itself?

[@jca4343]

@@iqglider483 don't know. I didn't get a baseline but I just had my 2013 brz on a mustang Dyno the other day. Those, to my understanding, read about 10-15% lower than other dynos. I have the grimmspeed intake, Ft86 speedfactory catted header, Perrin 2.5 inch catback, openflash flex fuel kit with a custom tune from them instead of just the off the shelf tune. It got me 189 hp to the wheels. My friend said that is the equivalent to about 250 at the crank . Not a big change in the torque as far a peak levels but the dip is absolutely gone and the hp line is a steady line up. No dips there.

[@lopadi9]

Been more than 2 years since I’ve had my 86 and loving it more and more every day. People complaining about being slow are complaining because they want this car to be something else. 200hp fits the bill for me, the only thing I feel I need to adjust at the moment would be to make that torque dip more linear. Either way, awesome car hoping to keep it until it becomes a classic

[@trentmclellan1037]

I have a 2015 FRS and I’ve beat a S2000 multiple times(video on my channel) Camaro 1LT, Genesis 2.0T, even my girls 400hp 17’ Silverado and many other cars with more hp, people forget this car weighs 2700lbs they hear 200hp and say slow but they don’t call those cars I beat slow because they have more hp

Almost bought the 86 back in 2017. I still keep my eye on the used market and once one of the triplets 86/FRS/BRZ in a manual gets down to the 10k mark in my area I will get one. My plans are simple get equal length headers, tune out the tq dip, put some 200tread track tires on it, track pads, high temp brake fluid and then track it.

[@Crummieboi56]

YES!

[@Brianjluna]

Go TOMEI UEL Headers. I have them and it does not fail to impress me! Also get an aftermarket intake with these & i run a Perrin Performance Cold Air Intake with a full Invidia N1 Exhaust system. It’s a huge difference and i’ve gapped so many stock FR-S’s/BRZ/GT86’s and i’ve beaten a couple of is300’s & Civics. These cars are also meant to have a SUBIE RUMBLE! 😤 Not sound raspy

@@Brianjluna ngl, you need more bolt-ons later, cause if you live anywhere near Texas, you’ll get you heart broken. It happened to me a couple years ago in my STI

[@CruiseControl1]

@@Brianjluna I actually like the sound of the equal length headers on this engine, plus I've spoken to many owners and they all tell me intakes are a waste of money and they didn't get much if any hp on the Dyno. I don't want a loud exhaust so I just want the header and the tune to eliminate the tq dip. I've driven all three variants and I prefer the 86 but I will end up buying whatever is in the best condition for the 10k. Everyone has the build they like and if you don't like mine that's ok with me.

You made a great point and is a big reason why I am against car companies not using their own engines. Toyota techs have no idea what they are doing working on the boxer engines.

I have a BRZ they have enough speed for a daily.. And if you know how to use a clutch and gears right you will whip most cars at the intersection from the boxer engine.. First gear can hold back a little so clutch a fair bit then move into second gear quickly then it starts moving nice 3rd gear than 4th and you are out of there..
