GT86 needs more power??

[mharvey]

So many people commenting that the GT86/BRZ needs more power.

Not now it doesn't!!

How much do you think you can run on a stock engine?

How does 521bhp sound, that's right without forging anything if you ask me that's pretty impressive, even if it probably won't last very long!

Personally I think I'd rather have a supercharged one running circa 280-300bhp but this is cool!

Supposedly it's had abuse
Car has over 150 dyno runs from testing a bunch of stuff. I would say roughly..

50 runs @ 250-300hp
50 @ 300-380hp
30 @ 420-450hp
20 @ 480 - 520hp

and still it runs

TBF all it needs is 250hp or so and it would be fantastic.

Too much power would ruin it.

They are underpowered. Great car otherwise tho.

I'm sure there will be silly amounts of kits available for them soon enough.

Cool results, wonder what power it would make on petrol before it became knock limited on the standard compression.

american horsepower so subtract 25%. Still impressive though

I just read their wheel horsepower as if its flywheel, seems to work out in most cases

I think the max I'd want in one is around 320BHP; Any more and its just going to be a bit too much, you'll also have to get bigger wheels and tyres as the GT86 as seemingly skinny tyres.
