He said full exhaust, what is the most important piece of a full exhaust system?

For this car, the header, but he was being vague so get off his back.


I would look at avo or full blown instead of Crawford for FI.

thank you :)

Just know that if you do go FI, hopefully your exhaust is 3" piping.

rofl 7k for a turbo on the frs. And how much will you put to the ground with a full turbo kit? 250 to the wheels :rofl:

Have fun telling that to your friends

That would also make it pretty useless if it wasnt, huh?

Honestly, you really have no idea what you're talking about for this.

take a look around if you before you start laughing at his post. The cheapest mainstream turbo setup will cost around $5000 for barebone kits. Yes, it's expensive.

People are going over 400whp, but most seem to be putting the brakes on around 330. going close and over 400 means building the engine.

The power/weight/liters in this car is already good.

250whp with a 2800lb car is plenty.





Useless, no, just less efficient.

Welcome to the Internet.gif

I live in new England, they took a map of the north east, put a piece of glass over it, smashed it with a hammer a few dozen times and decided to build roads according to the cracks in the glass.
Lots of people from the Midwest and beyond live where the roads are as straight as rulers, and there's no use for a car that excels at cornering.
They simply can't see the value of cars like miatas, rx-7's, s2000's, BRZ's and the like.

For example, there are no dragstrips in my state. But there are autocross events, and a racetrack (limerock)
Fast cars are fun if you can drive them fast.
There's just no where to do it here.

I'll stick with the BRZ, and pick up a motorcycle if I feel the need for speed.

Subjective. 250whp is better than 150whp but it's still pretty slow with proper tires fitted. I think 325-350whp would be a good range for it at that weight. That would be pretty similar power/weight as a full bolt on C5Z.

Quote (stupidkid282 @ Apr 17 2015 07:31pm)

Yes, subjective, but maybe not subjective for daily driving. Though, you're comparing a car that's $25,000 with $10,000 in mods to a modded c5z, a car whose original starting price is substantially higher.
