AVO 13+ Subaru BRZ / 13+ Scion FR-S Bolt On Turbo Kit w/ FMIC & Ceramic Coating

Part S6Z12GS7BKITU

AVO Turbocharger Kit for the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86!

The AVO Turbocharger kit is designed to work with both RHD and LHD models in all countries, and extensive testing has been done on both the Japanese Subaru BRZ and the US Market Scion FR-S. The Japanese BRZ has been track tested from day 1, and the US Market FR-S has spent 16 months and 25,000 miles testing and tuning in varying conditions, from 6000 feet and 0 degree temperatures, to sea level and below in the desert! This was done to ensure our kit would hold up as a daily driver where ever you go, whatever the conditions. All testing in the American market was conducted on 91 and 92 octane pump gas to ensure the turbo kit was going to handle daily driving as well as the track.

The turbocharger kit is designed from top to bottom specifically for the FR-S and BRZ, and consists of all the parts necessary to bolt the kit up to the car. We utilize an AVO18/49 turbocharger that mounts up under the front of the engine via our stainless steel unequal exhaust manifold, and then it bolts up to the stock exhaust with our ceramic coated stainless steel turbo outlet (also referred to as a downpipe). Cooling the pressurized air is an aluminum bar and plate front mount intercooler which uses black piping throughout, mechanical oil scavenging pump, oil reservoir tank, and all necessary water and oil hoses and fittings.

Tuning is by AVO Turboworld via EcuTek reflash tools, and we will provide an AVO base map free of charge with your kit choice. To obtain the free MAP you will need to follow the instructions carefully. Note : The ECUTEK Reflash Tool & ECUTEK Licence are not included in this kit and must be purchased separately.

This turbo kit has been designed to bolt up to the stock air intake box and to the stock exhaust system. We have spent a lot of time ensuring it will work with the standard fueling system for a complete bolt on and go setup. The beauty of the system is that it looks very stock from above! The FMIC has been specifically designed to fit with the standard bumper without trimming as well, and on the FR-S models the intercooler would be difficult to see unless you are looking for it.

So what can you expect from this kit?

From our testing, you will see anywhere from 250 to 320whp on pump gas, dependent upon the quality of the gas it is tuned for. This is due entirely to the fact that the stock motor is 12.5:1 compression, incredibly high for a n/a motor. This makes gas quality even more important than ever! If it wasn’t for the fact that this FA20 motor is a completely different and modern design with an incredibly well made combustion chamber, we wouldn’t even attempt to turbocharge these cars. But while many people associate it with the old EJ20 series motors from Subaru, there is absolutely no comparison besides the fact they are both boxer engines made by Subaru. The entire design of the engine is different, which has been improved tremendously from anything previously made by Subaru.

Not only is the engine a major step up, the ECU on this car is also a great design, reacting incredibly fast to knock and adjusting parameters to compensate. This helps increase the reliability of the turbocharged motor. As is well known by now, this is also a direct injection motor, helping both power and gas mileage. We have seen mpg figures as good as stock on the freeway, and probably better than stock as we were not exactly sitting on cruise control during our testing!

As you can see from the dyno chart you can make up to 400whp on the base kit with the right supporting modifications. That is over 470hp at the crank, well into supercar territory!
