They're N/A (Naturally aspirated)

I'm not sure about his 86, but for me I changed out the oil filter, radiator and the previous owner had a   Garrett GT3082 turbocharger installed. Also has an aftermarket Nistune ECU,  lowered suspension with stock S15 coilovers and a handful of visual mods.

A Stock S15 Autech (the N/A model) with a stock SR25 engine produces 150kW and can go 0-60 km/h in 8.3 seconds. Mind you, this is manual transmission, not automatic.

My S15 produces 162kW and can go 0-60 km/h in 8 seconds. So the subtle modifications to the engine are legal, but the results are slightly disappointing compared to other, more successful modifications made by full license drivers.

As a P-Plater (my mate) he can't own a turbocharged/supercharged or any cars who's engine has 8 or more cylinders. Also some 6 cylinder cars are banned as well (BMW M3, M5, Z4, Skyline 350GT, Honda NSX, Subaru Impreza RS and all Porsche models)

I'm still on my Ls for another 8/9 months but I'd rather have a car I can legally drive than to deal with Police and get my car forfeited to the crown. Also my mum does not approve of my modifications done to the car so she refuses to put it under her name. Modifications = more expensive insurance. I'm only going to have this car until I can afford a Tommy Kaira R34 GTR (~$80,000 AUD) when I'm on my full license. So this is basically my screw-around-thrash-to-the-max shitbox until I can afford my dream car.

You're a bit of a car enthusiast aren't you? knowing car specs, engine types, performance etc. You have a car of your own?

for the record, the Scion FR-S is a rebadged model. The original(s) are the Toyota 86 GTS and Subaru BRZ. Its a combination of both companies, which shared their idea for a concept car: Having the layout of the Toyota AE86 Trueno but also having the Subaru 4 Cylinder boxer Engine.
