86/BRZ TURBO KIT - Details YOU should know! Watch Before install! Setup, Tuning, Plumbing etc. 

This is one the most detailed video I have ever seen on YT for the Turbo FRS/BRZ (or elsewhere tbh). Thanks you so much for the time you take to show everything, going on a ride(so we even ear the sound). People think you just buy a kit and you have everything, no, they give you just the basic and you can add alot to make it reliable. So again this is the best all round video to get a great idea about how much it can cost; And that doesn't count the new clutch, the tuning, the AFR, sometime trans, lsd etc.

Love the video brother! I have a Jackson Racing C38 Supercharger 86 myself. Regardless, the detail you spent going over everything is what we really need nowadays with these cars. So many people are nervous to boost their cars but if you do everything properly and get all the proper components you need to support which FI route you go, you have almost 0 to no issues with the car.

Dude... You're awesome. I've been on JDL kit for 6+ years and I'm not even being bias, but I agree it's the most reliable turbo set up out there for the 86!

most detailed video ive ever watched, and i dont even own a brz/86 (yet)

I wish this video was out before doing my turbo kit😂 Learned everything the hard way as I went😅

Your car is the inspiration I need to wrap my 2nd gen cavalry blue

Incredible video man thank you!! This is all the stuff I’ve been trying to learn about since buying my car and can’t seem to find a source for information. I learned a lot from this and have loads more confidence in doing this kit in the future.

I did some stuff a little differently, I got the JDLv2 kit, I did also rebuild my motor. I’m running the dual radium catch cans and it didn’t occur to me about the sti pcv valve. My passenger side pcv wasn’t doing anything for the first about 3k miles then I took it out and made sure it wasn’t sticking. Now I finally have stuff coming through it. Fortunately Ive changed my oil enough times not to be concerned (I think) I changed it around 1500 miles, and a few times before that (because break in procedures for the new internals) so hopefully nothing got messed up from my oil being diluted. The passenger side pcv does produce significantly less than the drivers side from what I’ve noticed. I have to empty mine roughly every 500 miles it’s more than half full by then. (My ring gap is pretty big for future purposes) Also with the dual radium catch cans, I ran each line to each pcv, and then the other line I T’d together from each catch can, and then I ran it to the filter pipe on the turbo since that side creates a vacuum all the time so in theory it should be pulling from the catch can. Worst case scenario of my catch cans getting full is my turbo should get the extra blowby running through it lol

so glad to see this kit in other cars. love this jdl kit, we have almost the same car!

Nice informative video, could probably get some pov videos of how the car sounds? And another video of how much for supporting mods would be nice!

That bird in the background sounds like a turbo lmao

Awesome video sir! Greatly appreciate the work that went into making this video. Definitely answered some questions I had and showed me alot of stuff that I didnt know. Looking forward to your next video. I was wondering what head unit you use?

Awesome info! Definitely do some driving videos when you can ! 🔥

Gracias me ayudaste con muchas dudas sobre como pedir mi kit, y sobre lo que me espera a modificar gran video 🎉

If you followed an install video for the turbo kit what video was it? love the video! should definitely post more

Very clean engine bay. I have a BRZ and a younger brother of mine has an FRS. Was wondering what oil filter you have on your car. Looks way bigger than a stock one.

Great video. Answered almost all questions and concerns that I had. One small thing I don't understand, however. Where does the line from the intake pipe go?

Other thing if you plan on tracking or drifting get a baffled oil pan with the turbo oil fitting to keep at as reliable as possible

STI PCV valve - part number 11810A040 Or did you mean 11810AA040 I tried finding the pvc but I could only find it with the double AA part number

Let me if i understood, you blocked where the BOV supposed to be in to get the "chu chu" noises from the turbo? Like how HKS do?

I would argue the greddy kit is better for 4 maybe 5 reasons 1: JDL doesn't port the header since they use smaller pipes to pressure the turbo more, that causes disturbance when the exhaust is trying to exit. 2: The greddy kit doesnt require you to remove the window washer bottle. 3: if you want a UEL sound JDL does make the header for the greddy kit but you must port it to maximize the turbo. 4: If you want a BOV its as simple as a quick ad on kit otherwise you get a cool flutter. The only better side i do like is Jdl Offers an AN oil return line and oil pan but this can be added to the greddy kit to make it even better.

where did you get the block off plate ? Ive tried looking for them but its hard to find the right fitment for it since its the v1 kit.

Awesome build, quick question how does the turbo feel? Well ofcourse more power feels nice but how does it feel it terms of balance? Did you have to adjust yourself to it?

This is probably a dumb question but do you still pass smog/emissions with the setup?

What year STI pcv valve is recommended?

Is it still running? If not,are you going to be doing new motor

You mentioned that the HKS turbo kit is too big for the car. The reason for that is that HKS offers three different turbo sizes in Japan for this car. Unfortunately, all of the American retailers just buy the largest one (GTIII-RS Kit) that maxes out at 450hp. HKS themselves say that they do not suggest this kit for any kind of street driving, and for moderate power while keeping it responsive, go with the GT4135 kit.

Is it possible to put a 100HP turbo on this car and keep it properly for years without breaking anything ?

can i ask your wheel specs, fitment lookin mint!

What radio do you have??

are you using the stock radiator fans and if so what modifications if any did you do?

Thanks man.

thank you for all the help I appreciate it

How much did you spend on the tune

Hey man needed some help! I just got a jdl turbo kit 2680rs and so far I have boost,afr,oil pressure gauges, ecutek tune so far is there anything else I’m missing? I know ill need a turbo cover, a new clutch, maybe a oil catch can?, is the oil cooler require? And is that also needed with the gauges to function the oil pressure?

What oil do you use for this setup?

What wing is that?

I wanna hear it

Other stuff people don’t consider is the upgraded brakes, upgraded drive line, tranny and other stuff. It’s a slippery slope. Lol.

How many miles on the car?

"Pro tuners" doesnt use open flash tablet because, its open and anyone can "steal" your work. Ecutek have more tools for the tunner to make it more safely and reliable. For supercharger, you still can use open flash tablet as long the tuner doesnt give a fuck if someone steal the job

This is fire bro How much was the total cost? Might have missed it because I was busy driving while listening
