2017 Subaru BRZ - GReddy T518Z w/GReddy CS Limited Edition V2 Exhaust 

Thank you! Recently got cryptocurrency myself. Hopefully able to build up my portfolio a bit more then I can enjoy more toys :)

Exactly! So did I and I've uploaded a few videos documenting my journey. If you could check out my lasted video I would appreciate your feedback!

Done!

you want one for your new turbo dont you

No BOV, the GReddy kit is a recirculated system.

The only issue so far is the fuel strategies/maps aren't full cracked yet so my tune is still a sensible safe one, I'm not pushing anything big as of yet (170rwkw at 7psi).

The turbo spool is quite audible, it's a little hard to record it over the exhaust and tire noise though but it's very much present.

Meji Wolf ok that’s awesome I’m sold. Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure it’s not like the avo turbo it’s pretty quiet from what I ve heard. Peace out man

Basically still stock internals. Still running completely fine. I know a few people who have run high boost (14~) on stock internals and track their car on a more regular basis aren't really having much problems either. Just a few supporting mods like an oil cooler for example will help maintain the car. I'm probably going to look into building the engine once I start chasing power figures of 300rwkw onwards. The kit I bought ideally is a basic bolt on for the FA20 with a 7PSI spring rate, I'm currently running 10.5PSI all day everyday and it hasn't had problems.

meji wolf thank you for your reply!

People run into problems when they change the boost setting 7 will be be fine on stock. I don’t remember at which amount of boost fa20 begin to bend rods but that’s the main reason for failure is bc people put to much boost in it

I hear that point is around 400 whp, not sure about psi. But if you upgrade the rods and pistons, the FA-20 handles boost really well.

I'm having a retune to up the boost a bit to about 12-14 but I wouldn't go higher than that. I've seen some go 16PSI but I don't want to start running into problems. Mine's pretty safe tune due to the fact it was a brand new motor and I didn't want to risk much. At the time (January 2017) there wasn't much available (maps etc) due to the revised motor so mine was trial and error, in the end the shop did an amazing job with the tune.

The exhaust was directly bolted on as the turbo manifold that came with the kit just replaced the stock ones directly, so no problems at all :)

Thanks for replying back. How is the tone of this exhaust? Raspy? Deep tone?

so pretty much any overpipe, front pipe and catback would work with the greddy turbo kit:?

Fuel consumption has been good, if not better than standard after the tune.

iiStb most definitely. Check out ft86club.org and search there, plenty of turbo BRZ that are auto. Mrrockoffjohnson on RU-vid runs an automatic and is turbo.

Still running at 10psi on a daily making about 190rwkw. All up the kit (including boost controller and full exhaust) + installation + engineered was $9700AU.

Making 260rwhp @ 10PSI

I've got a few friends who have gone the same T518Z themselves but I've only heard in conversation from those who have seen the T620Z used says its a bit laggier but not so much more power without more engine work. The workshop that did my car for me is an authorised GReddy dealer too and have built plenty of these kits. I've seen a few of the dyno sheets pulling 230-240rwkw on the T518Z on E85 which is when we start to approach it's capacity. I'm going to have a guess and say since the T620Z turbo is rated 100 more HP it would probably be nearing 330rwkw/450rwhp. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer.

so could the t620z kit run low boost and make around 350hp and not touch the internals of the engine?

You could but boost will kick in later compared to the T518Z and you're not using much of the turbo's capacity. You're better off with the smaller one and have a more response. You can also hit almost 350hp on the smaller one with not much more effort. However if you were building the motor and doing it all in one go then go with the T620Z.

how much would could you max out the t518z kit with e85? or plain?

Could probably achieve 240-250rwkw with T518Z kit on E85 pushing 12-14PSI. You start maxing out the turbo by then.

All up I got the kit for $4400 + delivery and taxes. Installed, tuned and engineered was $2800 (Install $1500, tune $1100, and mod plate was $200).

Awesome, are you located in NSW? I don't know what the requirements are for Vic but I thought it'd be thousands for an Engineering Cert as I though you have to conduct an emissions test @@mejiwolf5187

Located in Queensland, the workshop had it all organised for me so I'm not to sure what is done but I have the certificate and it all passes.

@@mejiwolf5187 ok thanks for replying

Catless, yes.

Up to the video date, the setup including labour and tune was $9700AU. :)
