GT86 Impressions.

Looks like with a full exhaust, headers, intake an ECU remap/Link it would be possible to hit 140-150kw atw fairly easy, maybe through in some reground cams and bam you would have something that sings to the red line.

Pretty decent this footage.

Very nice footage. The 86 just looks so balanced and controllable, able to adjust speed and line anytime in a corner without the car saying "hey think fast or I'll kill you!"
The only thing those 911's that keep zipping by have over it is power

Thats exactly it I actually love what Toyota seem to be intent on when developing new cars they completely forget about the HP contest other car companies are having and are more intent on developing driving machines which allow your average Joe to go test the limits of there product without it killing them.

FYI - (slightly) better news, re-run at 12,000kms, 96kW 118kW
It also extrapolated the torque dip at 4,000rpm

I wonder if that is where the switch from port to direction injection occurs?

Here is one we did recently... I quite like it!!

Having owned mine about 6 months I can make some comments.

Stock suspension is good. A tad soft. Upping the springs to 4.5kg F & R units on the stock shocks yeilds good results, from people that have gone that way.

Car has too much roll though. It really rolls over the outside tyre on hard cornering. Going to try upping the swaybars. STM are about to do this test for me (stock shocks/springs + whiteline swaybars)

Power wise, car has really loosened up in the 3000ks I have done. Apparently it will loosen up some more. I hated how gutless it was at first, yet now I care less. 250hp atw would be great, but theres always a trade off with FI. Plus when you do the numbers, any kit, plus a tune, is going to cost $10k, and you lose your warranty.

I'm starting to care less about the power the more I drive it. I've got a stupid fast race car. Don't need to turn this car into another race car. Have driven it alot around Summit Road, and other twisty roads around the Port Hills, and there was almost no point where I wish it had more power.

My butt dyno tells me it would do about a 15 flat 1/4 mile. Maybe dip into 14's, but not sure.

I'm going to put a Toda flywheel on, Toda under drive pulley kit, SURFAB headers, and flash/tune. Might even get an e85 map. That'll really waken the car up, and should net 200rwhp, even on the pump map.

Also, stock brakes pads are poos. Going to try some TRD pads.

Decent series coming up involving the 86s.

He requested discontinuation of his membership after being given a 48 hour suspension for numerous rule breaches
