Most of our current customers have little if any previous forced induction experience. This Thread should help shed some light on the detailed options you guys have to choose from when considering a Turbo FRS or Turbo Brz via FA20Club turbo kits.

The Toyota GT 86, or Scion FR-S as it is sold in the US, it’s a brilliant back-to-basis, affordable driver’s car. But there are fans out there that want more power from the 200 hp 2-liter boxer engine under its hood.

King Tut's FA20Club.com Dyno Tuning Experience

Thanks:

I really want to thank these guys. Without their help, who knows where I would be with my turbo charged BRZ.

LJ @FullBlown Motorsports for building such a damn good turbo kit. He has always been there to answer my questions, and still well after the sale contacts me to see how the turbo kit is running.

Toni @FA20Club.com for finding the time in his busy schedule to dyno tune my car. He already wanted datalogs from the car before it was even off the dyno, and I know his support will continue to be there in the future.

David @Sportsguy83 for setting up the dyno tuning with Toni and hosting me in his house for the weekend. I also need to thank his wife for the great food.

Octane:

All numbers are on Florida 93 octane fuel.

The Story:

Ever since I bought the car,

FA20CLUB Innovate Supercharger Tuning, Parts, Improvements & Results

Well, to start off the unit is definitely well built. The power delivery is instant it seems like and pull steadily throughout the rpm range. As far as the down sides. The main issues we have encountered have been related to lack of intercooler, which really hurts those not blessed with 93 octane fuel in their area. This also limits current power limits because of the blower becoming a heat pump when increasing boost levels.

FINALLY DYNO TUNED! part 2

DYNO Video and Final Thoughts

BRZ AVO Turbo Kit Stage 2+ Dyno run - YouTube

Conclusion:

It is VERY important for all forum members to understand that installing a FI kit is not lilies and roses. It can be painful, hard, nerve wrecking and requires a good amount of $$ to get it right. There is a big bunch of mods that go around a FI kit that while not all of them are absolutely necessary, all work together to REALLY finalize a proper car build.

DONT be afraid to ask questions and make sure you understand everything, because there are some mistakes that just can't be undone.

If I had to do it again and in hindsight with what is available now, it wold be a painfully HARD decision but I THINK I would have chosen AVO again. The reason is when I initially chose AVO, I had certain goals for the car, and even though they changed as I modified it, AVO is still within them. I still love my AVO. Its an awesome kit, well made, easy to install and with great power delivery characteristics. I don't regret my decision one bit as I am VERY HAPPY with how my build came out.

If you want GREAT customer service, down to earth guy, great tunes, go with @FA20Club.com, it just doesn't get any easier than that!

Happy modding FT86 club. I hope my trial and errors help some members to avoid them.

FINALLY DYNO TUNED! part1

(What else did you expect?? Florida Rainy day FTW!!!)

I started doing my research again from ZERO between all available tuners. I noticed how after the initial wave of the mythical ECUTek groupbuy, things have changed.

I kept reading and reading so much happy Tony customers. I kept looking at the Dyno charts for his kit, N/A tunes, E85 tunes and other kits tunes. I met him personally at a meet and came away so impressed by the type of individual he is. Humble guy. Down to earth. No BS or Unicorn seller. Just get the job done type of guy.
So I made plans

FA20CLUB Turbo Kit 10 PSI Preliminary Testing

Long day at FA20Club all around got to throw the turbo FRS on the dyno to test our new base tune we finalized this week and decided to crank it up a notch and see how she liked it. Car runs even better on the new base tune than before and bumped up power on same 5psi level. When i ran her up to 10 psi we got 337hp 255tq. This was no timing changes mainly just the improved cam phasing and a few other things to make drivability better on the current kit. Next week we will complete the test with E85 on the same boost level and see what we get before we push it a little more. sorry just a crappy cell shot the dyno printer was dead. ill be back next week anyway so you guys get a sneak peek for now.

FA20CLUB: GOOD REASON TO REMOVE YOUR TURBO KIT RIGHT AWAY....

We at FA20Club wanted to share with your why our shop car is now without our turbo kit. When an opportunity arises sometime you have to make moves you don't want to. It was a sad day a couple weeks ago when I was forced at gun point j/k but Phil @ElementTuning (Hydra EMS) needed some help in a short time frame, due to the over whelming orders we had for our turbo kits FA20Club wasn't able to get him a kit in time due in part by his short deadline. We at FA20Club still wanted to help him out so as option FA20Club  offered to pull the kit from our personal shop car for him to meet his races. Since he asked up less than 2 weeks for a kit and transit time considered it felt it was a more favorable option than delaying our retail customers. Well the next business day we removed the FA20Club 60 trim turbo kit packed it up and it shipped it our for Phil at Element Tuning. With little over a week to go and installation tuning and building the rest of the car still to be done we all crossed our fingers. They made it and DAMN did they impress taking the win in the unlimited Class without hitting the dyno. The turbo screams and its the 60 trim you can hear the gate responding quite frequently to throttle input in the video. Please enjoy some of the photos and video by Element Tuning.
