I'm not sure about the turbo kits, but the supercharger kits add 100lbs.
Musing on displacement.
I wonder if there is enough room in the block to replace the crankshaft with a 3.55 mm increased stroke. That would bring the displacement to 2.5 liters. I know that would require a re-tune, but it would also increase the H.P. above 250 and further increase torque. I believe the factory induction components should still be sufficient to feed the added volume.
Then again, would a current production Subaru 2.5 liter crankshaft fit the bill. Or would our induction and and long block components fit on a 2.5 liter short block?

Yeah but that's just the Turbo. Where is the rest of the kit?
10 inches off the wheelbase would make it snap around like crazy.My preferred trade-off in the vehicle concept stage would be keep the NA FA24D but lose the back seats and shorten the wheelbase 10 inches.
I would like 300lbs off the car and all of that off the front half.
Not arguing with your figures as i've not anything to put on a scale. Why would a Supercharger kit add 60lbs over a turbo if both need an intercooler and similar sized housing/blades.Yep. And a small turbo like the GTX I posted is more than enough for 99% of builds that will be done on these cars. Leave it internal gate and low/rear mount it and make 500hp for ~30lbs that’s primarily low and behind the axle.
Makes me feel better about it when I do get the chance to add one.
I expected there to be more than 50mm of track width btw the cars. Definitely more than 50mm of interior space.ZD8/ZN8

Double the money or more, for a very different experience. A lighty used GT with track package will follow a brz anywhere and sound good too, but it's a completely different feel. And that costs the same as a BRZ.
Lol.
An Emira is triple the purchase price and 5x maintenance costs....
Still cool, but outside my budget for quite some time.
