In the realm of automotive enthusiasts, Tj Hunt's 2022 BRZ stands tall as a paragon of driving pleasure. Yet, a dark cloud looms over this beacon of automotive brilliance - the incessant complaints about its lackluster speed. Frustrated by the BRZ's sluggish performance, the team embarks on a mission to rectify this glaring flaw by bestowing upon it the gift of a Turbocharger. This transformative upgrade promises to unleash a newfound vigor and vitality in the BRZ, elevating it to new heights of performance and excitement.
The journey begins with the meticulous dissection of the BRZ, stripping away its front bumper, intake system, headers, and exhaust to reveal the problematic oil pan. Here lies a sinister presence - remnants of RTV that have plagued many BRZ engines, causing catastrophic failures due to oil starvation. With surgical precision, the team purges the oil pan of this malevolent residue, ensuring the heart of the BRZ beats strong and true once more.
As the Turbocharger kit, a trusted ally from the days of Miley, is unveiled, anticipation and excitement fill the air. Opting for the Garrett GT 2971 R turbo, a choice made with precision and foresight, the team aims for a power output that strikes the perfect balance between exhilaration and reliability. With a keen eye on the BRZ's power potential and the delicate dance with ethanol to unlock its true prowess, the team navigates the treacherous waters of performance tuning with skill and finesse.
The installation of the Turbocharger kit unfolds like a symphony of mechanical mastery, each component slotting into place with purpose and determination. From the intercooler upgrade to the meticulous fabrication work on the crash bar, every step is a testament to the team's dedication to perfection. As the moment of truth approaches, with oil coursing through its veins and components humming with anticipation, the BRZ stands on the cusp of a new era - one where speed, power, and performance converge to create a driving experience unlike any other.
