​@@DwithBoost That's correct - in general, turbo-charging an engine reduces the overall lifespan of the engine. If a person hopes to get 200,000+ miles out of an engine, it's very rare for turbo's to get that far. I'm not suggesting it isn't possible - anything is possible, just statistically uncommon.

@DwithBoost

@@Dakiraun most of the time I see shorter life spans due to people tuning, raising the boost from the factory setting and such. I know of several 02-03 WRX's that have around 200K miles plus. I don't see why a turbo alone would reduce an engines life span. The manufacturer typically reduces compression, reinforces the pistons, rings, etc. to take the additional horsepower and cylinder pressure.

What a great review. Thanks for adding the first gen into the review.

Reminds me of the 240/280z cars so much in spirit. I don't think it needs a turbo. I'd do all the NA mods to I could as well before I went forced induction. I'm just not sure a turbo would fit the personality of this car well. Loving your reviews so much! Keep up the amazing work

That shift beep has got to go if I were to get one of these. 😂

That copper cylinder under the oil filter is an oil cooler with coolant circulating through it. It’s only purpose is to prevent the oil overheating when doing laps on track, but it has the added benefit of warming the oil from a cold start. It wasn’t on the old generation, but was a needed mod for going on the track.

have seen most of the GR86 reviews but you were the first to mention the slant of the radiator and how it corresponds to the shape of the grill, I was impressed !

Fantastic track segment. You continue to impress

Would love a short video comparing the BRZ... "It has a Subaru badge... That's it! Thanks everyone!"

For the curious, short track stock car builders in the know tip the radiator 5 to 7 degrees so that the air glances off the fins as it passes through, increasing the cooling efficiency significantly. Straight up mounted radiators pass the air through with less contact with the aluminum fins between the tubes and will run hotter. Water to air and air to air both have the same effect when you tip them

Thanks for making car reviews FUN!
