Is it easier to turbo or supercharge a BRZ?

Most of the time, a supercharger will provide better low-end response when compared to any turbo, which can be ideal for the street or tighter, smaller tracks. Power’s almost immediate, too. Here, you won’t be waiting around for enough exhaust gases to be generated to spin some turbine wheel.

Can you put a turbo on a BRZ?

But Engineering Explained host Jason Fenske is glad the redesigned 2022 Subaru BRZ doesn’t have a turbocharger. Here’s why. The second-generation BRZ gets a 2.4-liter flat-4 engine, replacing the previous generation’s 2.0-liter unit. That displacement increase did yield more power.

Should I supercharge my BRZ?

After conducting a bit of research, it looks like fitting a supercharger is the best option for the BRZ. Supposedly a turbocharger puts quite a lot of stress on the engine and I don’t really want to touch the internals. So, if your steering wheel’s on the right, you’re better off with a supercharger.”

How much HP does a turbo BRZ make?

The new BRZ serves up 228 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, significant increases over the old car’s 205 hp and 156 lb-ft. Displacement increases from 2.0 to 2.4 liters thanks to a slightly larger bore (94mm vs. 86mm), while the 86mm stroke remains the same.

Why is the 2022 BRZ still not Turbo?

So why isn’t the BRZ engine turbocharged as well? One reason why the BRZ is better off without a turbocharger, according to Fenske, is gearing. The naturally aspirated engine has a higher redline (7,500 rpm) than the turbocharged engine (6,000 rpm), allowing for more aggressive gearing.
