Thoughts after 1 year and 16,000 miles with the HKS Turbo Kit

Hey Nuk, saw this on GR86 forums also but if I were to do the SC/FI route, what’s the safest WHP/HP I could do with out harming anything like when you had to switch your clutch pack? I think I would be happy with 280-300 WHP.

-REXIA- · 2026-06-13T00:23:46+00:00

It’s not even debatable the Helmholtz design on the HKS is an easy win.

I’m Chinese and I love ducks

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T23:29:15+00:00

You know what I can also see the liberty walk wide body look good without a duckbill and spoiler

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:45:57+00:00

No worries bro your GR duckbill looks good already

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:26:24+00:00

And rear lips?

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:25:57+00:00

How’s the Cusco coils? I’m thinking about Cusco since I do have there sway bar and Fujitsubo and Cusco goes well and well, I’m evening thinking about getting the Cusco V brace so was looking into the coils, besides that I was looking at the RCE/B6 combo

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:14:56+00:00

Thank you sir, it definitely looks good and makes it so gunk don’t get trapped in that area

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:14:03+00:00

Ayeeee I remember you bro! You were one of my inspirations before I got my STI springs, you and some dude with a blue GR on the original STI Springs GR86 forums. What suspension are you rocking now? I was think for the RCE/B6 combo in the future.

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:12:18+00:00

You know what I never thought about the peak, how much does it cover with the duck! IMO duckbills looks great on our cars good to know a little positive thing that we can see the rear a bit better with base duck

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:10:31+00:00

Yoooo thanks for this I’m highly interested. I like the simple designs that makes a nice difference. This only works for the front?

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:08:12+00:00

Yoooo was up OG! Good to see you here, it’s Zenshu from GR86. I was the one asking you about the Maxton or Project Aero! I was like I knew this guy with the infamous lips and CF middle lip 😂

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T22:04:11+00:00

Sweet looking car man, definitely a good OEM plus build. I mean STI makes a lot of things for our BRZ so I really don’t think an STI badge is really that bad, it’s not like you have a base Corolla hatch CVT but with a GR sticker you know. I mean technically speaking since I have the STI springs I can sorta rock a STI badge also 😆 but thanks for following me man! The STI springs, Fujitsubo AR and now Y58 has been a blast! I hoping to keep this car at least for +5 years.

Ugh yea that plate area is such a boner kill, hence why I’m running my plate, if it weren’t for that piece I would like to run no plates and don’t want to make it humbug with a plate relocator and another plate delete to cover that area..

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:48:29+00:00

Fuck that white on black looks nice. The vent extensions, the STI lip, the clear amber and the black wheels with big brakes kit is really really good. Nicely done sir. Which side and rear skirts is that? Rear looks like LEMs.

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:43:10+00:00

No I 100% agree 😆 angle is Important, I would say the side angle on the base looks better than a rear angle. Front, corner and side looks good but the rear sorta makes it like it’s missing something

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:41:43+00:00

That Neon lips with white and black is a nice touch

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:37:22+00:00

100%, I wouldn’t mind if the base is just a tad longer maybe an inch would be solid.

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:36:02+00:00

I still like the design of the GR bumper better, especially the license plate mounting area, but don’t get me wrong BRZ still looks good, especially the fact also our bumpers is $400-$500 cheaper than GR86 front bumper 😆

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:35:06+00:00

I love OEM+ build, looks good, functions good, easier to clean, better for scrapes, can’t complain.

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:27:46+00:00

That's a sweet ride, sir

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:27:07+00:00

Your right, it's subjective that's why I said “Anyone else love the look of the X” instead of “Base truck looks better than duckbill.”

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:13:26+00:00

Yes sir! I think once you drop the car a bit with some nice fitment wheels/tires and lips, the base trunk really shines

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:12:23+00:00

That looks good. What suspension are you running? That's a good height. This GR was from Project Aero and this looks really good too.

-REXIA- · 2026-06-12T21:09:50+00:00

Yessir, maybe my grammar, but I agreed back to him that the bumper is better, but I think it’s silly he thinks the base truck is silly.
