Coredump posted:It seemed from the press videos there was a model of the Toyota GR86 without the Subaru Eyesight system. My question is there a BRZ trim that doesn't have it either? Eyesight is only available on the automatic twins. It’s not an option for the manual GR86/BRZ

At least peak torque comes on sooner lol

I've been in boxer-engined cars before and they never felt like they had any sort of dip in power midway through the rev range. What the gently caress is going on with these cars?

What the gently caress is going on with these cars? Switchover of the fuel injection methods I believe - There's a port as well as a direct fuel system. MCM did a video on it and how to tune the dip out.

I figure it’s some byproduct of tuning to hit some regulatory target, to pass some test cycle for emissions or what have you. Edit: or that ^^^ makes way more sense

Also that video does not feature a stock BRZ - its got an exhaust on it so I'd be somewhat hesitant to draw too much from it until we see a genuine bog stocker.

Oh my god yeah I thought they improved that think solution aftermarket is to replace the exhaust headers/cat and tune it so assume that would still work here

Ace header and tune completely removed the dip on my old BRZ.

I’m hoping with that torque peak early in the rev range there would be some flexibility left that with tuning you could smooth out the curve.

Every bit of impressions about the car so far do not call attention to any dip (and in fact say it's gone from the previous car.) So, probably would be wise not to get too worked up yet.

So, probably would be wise not to get too worked up yet. Based on those dynos the new torque dip is still higher than the peak of the old car.

October but no specific date known yet. I recently got an email from the salesman indicating it had entered production.

Having owned both at the same time, the BRZ is the better car (at least compared to last gen WRX.)

It hasn’t had much change in 6 years. The new one will be announced any day now and I’m sure it will make some waves. Edit: Nohearum posted:It's lovely because it's a sedan. Call me when they bring back the hatch.

Coredump posted:Still blows my mind Subaru prices the WRX cheaper than the BRZ. I said this same thing ITT before and as was pointed out then, the WRX is basically just another car they already sell with some go-fast slapped onto it, so the cost to develop it is lower. The BRZ -- sure they split the cost with Toyota -- is a lot more unique parts/R&D and is going to cost more just because of that.

BuckyDoneGun posted:I figure it’s some byproduct of tuning to hit some regulatory target, to pass some test cycle for emissions or what have you. Could easily be both. Back at uni, I was with a Formula SAE racing team and we had the chance to go visit the Toyota USA Museum in Torrance just before it closed. There was a relatively high up public relations/exec/something?? guy in attendance and he gave a bunch of us that had wandered into the museum a tour, and when someone asked him that question that's the answer he gave. That the torque dip is to hit a emissions target, with their reasoning being people who care about it will tune it out anyways so they 'left it up to the aftermarket'. This was in 2017 or so IIRC so maybe things are different now.

Russian Bear posted:Is anyone lining up to buy the WRX? My impression of the current WRX is that it only really sells to Subaru loyalists. Anyone who had the money for a Golf R bought that instead, and everyone shopping in the price bracket that the WRX lives in decided that they could compromise on either the manual or AWD.

No way Subaru had money to spend on BRZ, pretty sure Toyota foot that whole bill so the answer to "why doesn't Subaru do x" is always "Toyota wanted y".

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Okay yeah that torque curve is messy but not like hugely noticable dips fro a drivers perspective. Yeah here's the dyno from the stock car vid if anyone's curious: 1 kgm = 7.233 lb-ft, so it loses about 18 ftlbs from 3500 rom to 4300. It looks like it loses 32.5 lbft from the torque peak of 26.5 kgm @ 3300 rpm to 22 kgm at 4300 rpm. TUNE TIME.
