Expect a substantial increase in horsepower over the stock 228 horsepower.
HKS’s new package will include a supercharger kit that will increase the flat-four’s power output to 228 horsepower and 184 pounds-feet (249 Newton meters) of torque. The new GR 86 already has 23 hp, 28 lb-ft (38.1 Nm) more power than its predecessor and delivers the maximum power significantly tuner. Aftermarket specialists are eager to have the new 2.4-liter horizontally opposing four-pot and explore its tuning potential.
The GT2 supercharger technology increased the power output of the first-generation 86’s 2.0-liter engine by 298 horsepower and 233 lb.ft (361 Nm) respectively. The modified engine will be compatible with the six-speed manual gearbox, according to logic. However, the tuner may also try to accommodate those who prefer the optional six speed auto.
Forced induction is unlikely to be included in any potential hot derivatives from the GR 86 that Toyota develops. The rear-wheel-drive coupe would then take over the base Supra’s shoes. The entry level version has 255 horsepower and 295 lbft (400 Nm), from its turbocharged 2.0 liter engine. However, logic shows that there will always be a gap to prevent cannibalization.
For added power, owners will need to rely once more on the aftermarket scene, which will also be available for the GR 86. Subaru has already reviewed some STI-branded visual bits for the JDM version . These include 18-inch BBS forged alloy wheels and a carbon-fiber rear wing.
