"  It&amp;#039;s no secret we&amp;#039;re big fans of the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. Those affordable, rear-drive lovechilds from twin Japanese parentage are hugely entertaining to drive, and their tight tuning makes them a sort of gruntier, coupe-based spiritual successor to the venerable Mazda Miata. But if there&amp;#039;s one thing we crave from the 197 horsepower, 2-liter FA20 engine platform, it&amp;#039;s a tad more power. That desire has been addressed by aftermarket companies like Greddy and Crawford Performance, and U.K.-based Cosworth has just announced they&amp;#039;re jumping into the game. Cosworth will offer several stages of engine performance upgrades, the first of which uses natural aspiration to yield an 11.6 percent boost in output, for a total of 230 bhp. Tweaks include a thermally coated 4-2-1 manifold header coupled and free-flowing stainless steel exhaust, coupled with performance filters and a low temp thermostat. The setup uses equal-length pipes and incorporates a spherical resonator, and claims a 22 percent weight reduction over the standard manifold. Ditch the manifold and opt for the catback kit, and your BRZ/FR-S will produce 225 bhp, total.  If you demand more oomph from the Subie/Toyo flat-four, future supercharger kits will deliver 325 bhp, and up to 380 bhp in race configurations. Cosworth emphasizes that future upgrades capitalize on the prior stages, which enables a progressive way to transform your BRZ or FR-S into a lustier animal.
