The BRZ/86 is a popular car amongst enthusiasts for a variety of reasons, but most will agree that it’s underpowered. It’s not slow, but the chassis could handle more power, especially after improved suspension and sticky tires are added. There is only so much you can do with a naturally aspirated 2.0L engine that is pushing 100 horsepower per liter without adding forced induction to the mix. HKS is a huge name in the JDM market, and they’ve just released their GTIII-RS turbo kit for the FA20.
What’s special about this new turbo kit is the turbocharger itself. With a large turbocharger, you’ll have a ton of top end power because that’s where the turbo threshold will be. Unfortunately, a large turbo will be laggy and make your car terrible to drive on the street. Using the smallest and most efficient possible turbocharger to meet your power goals is ideal, as you’ll have great throttle response and a lot of low-end power which will make your car very street friendly. The GTIII-RS turbo kit focuses on providing the best possible throttle response by using a relatively small turbocharger with a lightweight billet compressor wheel.
Kit Includes:
- GTIII-RS Turbocharger with wastewater actuator
- Oil and water piping
- Intercooler piping
- Intercooler
- Exhaust manifold and catless extension pipe
- Heat shield
- Gaskets, brackets, bolts
As you may be able to tell from the list above, this is nearly a complete kit. The fuel system and ECU tune will be left up to you, as everyone wants something a little bit different. As tested by HKS, a stock FA20 can make 350 horsepower with this kit and a built 2.1L stroker FA20 can make 450 horsepower. These are crazy power levels considering how responsive the GTIII-RS turbocharger is. If you’ve wanted to boost your FA20, then this is the perfect kit for you.
