I see meetup posts in other places and wondering if there is a group or any interest in a Nashville meetup.

It is well known that the oil volume of the GR86/BRZ is insufficient for hard track driving and the answer to keeping oil pressures high is overfilling the engine by .5-1 quart.

Here is a video of an oil expert explaining the impact of overfilling the engine. The short answer is loss of HP.

For those driving hard on track, this is a good discussion around why installing a high capacity oil pan like Formula Delta, Verus or Ansix (w/headers) and an oil cooler like Ansix is a better option if lap times and engine wear are important to you.

I have a new BRZ and planning for occasional street use and drive to track build. Convinced I’ll go with an oil cooler and high volume pan. Most interested in bolt on and reliability for street and non-competitive track use. Any opinions?

How many in this sub track their BRZ? What oil cooler do you use and are you happy with it?

I just bought a 2026 BRZ and plan to track it. I’m looking at the Verus and fxD high capacity oil pans and looking for opinions. Currently, Verus only sells their 3D printed version for $999 and fxD is sold out of their first run of cast pans.

You can get on the fxD waitlist of their 2nd batch for $850 or Verus for <$700 for their cast version with both potentially shipping in June.

Anyone have an opinion?
