I didn't think this kind of performance was possible from a revamped BRZ engine!

You can feel how under powered that engine is just driving one. The motor isn't even taxed at full power, it's just screaming for a turbo.

probably the only vehicle i know so far that has both direct injection and port injection.



and it sounds hardly like a wrx...due to different bore and stroke?

Noticed a few tuning, probably fuelling issues in that video.







But fwark, what a beauty. If the motor is durable enough to be ready for market with 400 whp and a hektik midrange turbo, I'd possibly veer towards an even smaller turbo to boost from more like 2000 rpm, or a centrifugal supercharger. Just to suit the darty, hillsy feel of the car.

What they failed to mention is that the Crawford engine and turbo setup cost more than the car. It's nice, but not $50k nice.
