delz0r Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If these cars came stock with that performance they would sell much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 SOLD!!! It's just a shame the inside looks a bit cheap with that carbon looking plastic stuff. It would also be good to know fitting and mapping costs from them, but the price of the S/C is similar to the Zed which can add over 100 extra horsies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Cool man, with that extra power they might actually be able to run wider wheels and still make it 'lively'. Anyway, it's always good to see big tuning houses' turning out packages . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Much better, think i'd still have it on the '86 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You haven't seen the Tarmac Sportz Vortech Supercharged GT86 yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Should've had that sort of performance from the start IMO. The whole package though, takes it closer to 35k and they still haven't finished with the suspension set up. Great looking cars (not a great colour the blue one). Whether many current owners take up this set up and cost is debatable. The interiors are woeful though and it was only a matter of time before big tuning companies got round to sorting something out for this car. The stock package doesn't excite.

370Ad Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Fitting is only 4 hours worth as well so once you have added some handling mods its 5k on top of a 2nd hand GT86/BRZ @ 20k ish. Tempting..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra 83bhp and 59lb ft of torque 226bhp/ton (370z - 206bhp/ton) 0-60mph time of 4.9secs £3,495 plus fitting That's more like what they should be!

rtbiscuit Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 if you dropped the same cash into the zed you'd never get the same gains. these cars are going to be such a tuners dream there are going to millions of options and parts available to them. in about 5 years time they're going to be a big modding seen, a bit like the old civics were/are. I like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hopefully the four pot can take it, we all know that a Zed needs the internals done with a supercharger, still to be proved that the Litchfield version doesn't. This could increase costs a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 SOLD!!! It's just a shame the inside looks a bit cheap with that carbon looking plastic stuff. It would also be good to know fitting and mapping costs from them, but the price of the S/C is similar to the Zed which can add over 100 extra horsies If you can supercharge the Z for under £4k I'd be impressed.

Tarmac has a thread up about a Vortech bulk buy with about 20% off ATM, thats about £3k for that kit, then injectors, rails, oil cooler, and fuel return system = not to far off £4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris AME Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The brz makes so much more sense to me with a supercharger it goes from being a car I like in principle to a car I would like to own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Couldn't have put it better myself. Don't get me wrong, the standard BRZ86 isn't a slow car if driven properly, but the engine just isn't charismatic enough to make you want to use it. Having the grunt of FI should remedy that nicely.
