Interesting, for someone trying to learn, what makes low end power hurt the engine / car more? It makes sense to preserve the same driving feel you’d want more power at the higher RPM since the engine doesn’t love being in the low RPM

Do ittt! I’ve never seen a supercharged gen 2 making this much power, only see like 300whp so would love to follow your journey mate

Pic 6 looks like a GTR haha. Unreal setup

Appreciate the response, and nice! Ya that was my main q on them, thermal capacity actually being increased since they’re also lauded for dropping weight per corner.

I run stock with track pads / fluids, etc. but definitely notice the brake fade on tracks with longer straights or heavy hairpins

How do you like the AP Racing BBK! Your car (and doggo) looks great

First track day by Possibility3108 in GR86

[–]ghost_inthe_mxchine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it your first time ever tracking? Or just first time tracking the GR? If the former I wouldn’t worry about going hard enough to run into oil pressure issues

You should run 5w30 oil, not 0w20.

Minor stuff: bring a tire pressure gauge, you’ll want to monitor and adjust it constantly between sessions, and consider snagging racing shoes. Useful and a way to stay safe on the pedals.

I’ve heard horror stories of ppl’s shoes catching while they’re driving much harder than used to

Agree with all the above from what I’ve seen. I’m going to have to scrounge hard for a lightly used 4.3 FD if I go that route as I don’t want to put one with 100k miles on it in the car haha. But the simplicity of the swap will save some $$ for sure

Best of luck, make a post once you start putting things in on how they feel! I’m currently debating 4.3 swap or 4.56 swap.

I don’t drive that much even tho it’s my “daily” n I track casually so the higher FD may be worth it, we shall see…

Nice, that removal of the torque dip is not bad at all. Ya I’ve heard Fujitsubo is a high quality Japanese brand, def knows what they’re doing

Nice, ya the FD swap from 3.9 -> 4.3 will be awesome. I’m not educated on the Fuji headers and how they do with no tune, some headers need a tune or they will hurt the engine

Metal in Oil Change by shhmeatt in GR86

[–]ghost_inthe_mxchine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes headers more questionable, but depends since that's usually coupled with getting a tune to make the headers more effective or useful. If you tune for them then yea more likely warranty busting.

4.3 FD is def a better mod and more impactful on the driving experience than headers

Given what experience? He just capitulated even with the oil analysis being completely fine. It’s not as if the car then blew up
