In this video we install a perrin rear stock tower brace and talk about the mistakes i've made with the car and it's future plans. perrin.com/shop/suspension/re...
honestly we all have been there. Its frustrating to spend money when its not needed. Keep moving forward and cant wait to see where you take the car. 💪
It’s always tricky to keep a good balance once you go in the deep end of modding. I’ve actually got a Whiteline rear sway bar sitting in my closet but I’ve been hesitant on putting it on cause the car feels so good as is!
That was good of you to share the experience on the modifications you've done, including those on when one goes to far and that which results from those changes and the fixes. I think 900BRZ is having an engineering firm evaluate that which I commented to you, him and others to fix the problem, so hope they get it going and make it available to cure the problem with oil control. The rear brace will be a good addition to your track focused 86 👍.
Thanks for sharing this. You should have more "storytime" segments if you get the chance. Also its crazy, I was just readjusting (today) my rear Whiteline adjustable endlinks. Having a hard time getting them to zero preload. Lastly, are you adding E85 to yourself, cause you're looking mad fit bro. Can you even fit in your 86, Hulk? Lol 😂 seriously, love the channel, down to earth advice and experience. Keep it up brother. Gives me hope for my build.
Good to hear from you, yes it’s been a while. Stillen has a reasonably priced bigger rear sway bar but I can’t complain as my 2022 Hyundai Elantra N rotates easy as it is. I was impressed that the 2024 models now come with poly rear bushings from factory ✌️
Thanks for sharing all this info. Theory says that stiffer equals more control/feedback but less grip. And it is inline with what you said. Good luck with v2.0!
Good to see a new upload! Congrats on the turbo! I worry about forced induction on stock internals with the 20% higher compression in the GR86's FA24D (12.5:1) compared to the turbo WRX's FA24F (10.6:1). 🤔 Glad to hear you got the understeer dialed out too!
they respond very nicely to boost. high comp means not much psi needed for very large gains. they are completely capable of holding 350whp reliably, including stock internals, stock clutch, stock transmission. seems these were overbuilt, and quite sturdy when not starved of oil.
Awesome video brother! Loved the story time and good insight on the experience you're having with each stage of modding. Good ideas to help stiffen the chassis, I look forward to seeing the results!
@phelpsgarage4202 thanks for the insight! I was doing 28-29 cold, around 33-34 hot. I need better tires tho, the Cosmo mucho machos don't feel too good around the sweepers
with harder sway bars you have less roll and "less grip", it does different reaction in the steering input, so in theory a nicer feeling to the driver to let you push harder the car....
I am Looking forward to the more power mods. How much power are you aiming for? Any update on the oil pressure drops? I know 900 Brz said a new oil pan is going to solve the issue once available.
I dont track but ive got strut braces front and rear for more stiffness... but i have not been able to tell much diff. Hopefully you will see difference when you take the car to the limit.
ive got hks hypermaxx s, and my car is stiff. if i needed, i can get it to even more stiff with damper adjustment. as far as strut braces though, i am just not sure how much difference they are making. btw, i cant wait to see turbo chargers on your car.
Thanks for the video man. Toyota should gift you a new gr86 just for the street with everything you are doing to show the potential of this chassis. I need to get sway bars. I track the car. Which sway bars will you recommend.
I heard you mentioned adding a turbo to the car? Still planning to? Are you worried about heat soak issues? Love the videos BTW, thinking of getting a GR86.
I literally typed this comment at the 17 minute mark lol, looks like you got a turbo, still interested in your thoughts on heat soak as I am sure you have already thought a lot about it.
@@phelpsgarage4202unrelated to turbos, but if you were to start over with a 2024 GR would you get the performance package with the bigger brakes? Or go base and pick something aftermarket down the line?
@@user-iz3qg6sv3f depends on the budget. My AP racing brakes work too good 😂. I’m sure the performance package brakes are a lot better than stock brakes so maybe start with that.
About the tyres, could it not have been the camber/other geometry? The Hoosier tyre will be a softer compound and hence the rubber strength will be lower than the street equivalent. If the tyre didn't make a nice contact patch, it could shear easier hence performed worse. I'm guessing the geometry should change between tracks, but I wonder if there could be a way to test the contact patch, maybe filming the tyre somehow?? or Just looking at the tyre wear
100% these cars need hood vents for track days in the summer. hell the car stock on gen 1 would pull power when running the AC in the hot summer weather 😅
With good fueling and tuning, low boost and timing I’m hoping it lasts quite a bit. I’m only looking for 100 hp which is easy on pump gas with like 5/6 psi
@@phelpsgarage4202 if you look around 100hp reliable you need at list to run on e50, on pump gas max 50hp stock block gr86 is not reliable on boost for TRACK use. Is metter of temperature, if you can manage to run low temperature it gonna work otherwise forget reliability, already with stock NA it run really hot those engine, subaru engine don’t like high temperatures is the major reason because they fail and as well knocking thats why you need e50
@@phelpsgarage4202 nice i was looking into that one, i know a guy making 400-450 on that kit, also i was looking at jdl kit, please do a full install video im looking to purchase as well
