2013 Subaru BRZ – Turbo install & Calibration

2013 Subaru BRZ – Turbo install & Calibration

As always first thanks be to God for giving us the opportunity to do this and help the local car enthusiast achieve their goals.  This time around thanks to a previous client Vu with the white CivicSi for recommending us his friend.
We got this BRZ and the client brought all the necessary items to make this install happen in a short turn around time frame. Tech got the car in a few days we had the car up on the lift and the JDLv2 turbo kit was making its way into the engine bay.

After we got to this stage we had to wait a few days for the Mishimoto slim fans to arrive.  Once the fans arrived it took a few hrs to install them and then the calibration process began with the EcuTek software suite.  The process of calibration was done on a nice vacant hwy and the engine was dialed in to gate pressure on the kit.  All I can say is was so stoked to see the smile on the face of the client as he drove around in his newly transformed vehicle.


2013 Scion FRS Turbo – Transmission work & Calibration

2013 FRS Turbo, rectifying work from another shop on this manual transmission. Seems that synchros went south on this transmission, time to open her up and see what is the verdict.
After inspection 2 and 6th gear are the only ones that look decent. Synchros, hib sliders and the other gears will have to be replaced in order to bring this transmission right away. Well time to build a bulletproof one down the road.  As for now we also fitted the transmission with a new SPEC light flywheel.

After the install of a good working transmission along with the SPEC Flywheel, it was ready to hit the street to see how it feels.  Oh yeah Amsoil synthetic 75W-90 was added to the mix.  Shifts smooth as butter, Highly recommend adding this oil to your differential or transmission.

211whp run in the peach color was a run that was done back in 3/9/17.

Both of these runs were done at the same boost level 9psi, but the one the one that generated 218whp / 248wtq (purple lines) was done in a more hot ambient as per descriptions in the video.  What a difference a proper working flywheel can make and when the right care if given all around to the the vehicle.
