Hello, I am new to the forums and am looking for advice per say. I suppose this could fall under modifications or tuning, but I am just looking for some general ideas or places I can go to get the most out of my car. My friend pointed out GrimSpeed to me already. I wanna keep the BRZ NA and add as much power as I can. Looking for good ECU flashes, good places for new parts etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Well it may not be the route you want to.go but there is not a ton of power to be gained from a tune. Even e85 tunes are only gaining 25-35hp from a tune. Honestly do some mods to even further increase handling would be your best bet imo. Could be bias as that's the direction I'm going with mine.
Yea, I am thinking headers and full exhaust overhaul with the tune. Also wanna do an Eibach kit I found with full sway bars and a strut bar. Maybe finish it up with some carbon fiber replacements for hood and trunk.
I have the grimmspeed strut bar and also whiteline rear lockdown bushings the 2 of them and some new tires made a world of difference with how the car handles. The n1 carback exhaust and k&n filter added a small amount of mid range torque but not a lot.
Does the stock airbox hold up well? I am thinking that will be one of the first to middle upgrades. The handling improves that much? It already handles like a dream. Way better than my old Audi S4. My friend took me to the GrimmSpeed shop last week and I poked around a little. WHat about light wieght fly wheels and pulley systems?
Have not looked into any pulleys or flywheels at this point. I've been so far all.about handling as I still have my.built 02 wrx for blasting in a straight line. Shoot me a pm if you want to come over for a spin and see for yourself how much different it drives vs stock.
I will consider it once the weather starts becoming favorable again. I have not had much chance to demolish very many corners yet, especially with an engine break in.
