Mikey Botti On Having The Worlds Fastest MK5 supra, B58 vs S58, and The Stock B58 Limits

I just stumbled on this video. STI Mikey tuned my 04 WRX 11-12 years ago when I was a broke college kid. I was lucky there was a meet up where he came and tuned 5-6 cars for an affordable price. Unfortunately my car was parked and a kid under the influence crashed into it and totaled the car a few years back but if Mikey is reading the comments I really appreciated you tuning the car and glad your doing great. Be safe. Thank you both for the interview.

[@marklinley815]

One of the best tuner videos to date. So nice to see someone ask the man about goals, budget, and fueling to achieve certain goals!!!

[@StreetAlphaPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JayDLC123]

I've had a Mikey tune on my subaru for 10 years and still going. I'll definitely be going back to him once I cross over to the B58 platform. Its great to see and hear some real world numbers, and figures, of what it actually takes to make a car go fast on the track.

[@bman1668]

All the b58 Supra rumors coming to the end 7 sec Supras mk5 happened in less than 5 years . 2jz mk4 fanboys whip their cream those numbers no lie …

[@OGKingCrunk]

I've been looking for a video like this since I got my '21 3.0 a couple years ago. I have HKS downpipes but my ECU is a locked one which has kept me from a tune for so long. I've notice prices come down further and further to unlock though. When I got mine they couldn't even unlock stateside, I think it was only somewhere in Russia that offered it. Hearing this is motivating. I don't want a drag car, just a street car that can beat pretty much anything that comes up. Will go meth and ecu instead of turbo>meth>ecu most likely now.

Nothing but good things to say about him. He definitely knows how to make these cars go fast. way faster than I want to go. Excellent work with the interview a good questions and good vibes.

[@joesix4726]

His E-Tuning methodology is solid. After just three iterations, we started cranking the boost. I don't believe I ever saw knock during the tuning process. Fast turnaround and almost always available. That was my experience in 2016.

[@Nick22257]

The fact that the notorious epa overreach is news to you is the reason its such a big deal. Its an extremely serious problem that such a small margin of us enthusiasts are aware of. Auto manufacturers, parts manufacturers, parts sellers, calibrators, shops, end users, all under attack without clear language on what line we can walk.

[@n55Rob]

The EPA doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about in the first place lmao…..A Catless Car with a really good Tune from a “Reputable Tuner” will produce less Emission related Gases compared to a Stock Car with a Cat from the Factory especially when the Catless Car’s on Full E85/C85 or just a Basic Ethanol Fuel Blend….ALSO ELECTRIC CARS CAUSE MORE EMISSIONS THAN COMBUSTION ENGINES WHICH IS A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FACT LMFAO This makes me think that the people working at the EPA are completely Uneducated/obvious on Basic Supply Chain Economics outlining how Electric Cars are Built, where the Materials come from, and where the Power to Charge these Cars originates from LOL…..The EPA at this point is just a group of Mindless Governmental Pawns that’ll believe anything the “Mainstream Scientific Studies” say mainly because THEY PAID FOR THOSE “MAINSTREAM STUDIES” IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!

[@dtpman776]

Tuned by him now and my car Supra doesn’t run good at all. Had a bad experience with him when I paid for a remote tune on the dyno. Hopefully he treats his customers better now.

About breaking in the car aggressively..there have been articles and info about how the "drive it like you stole it" method is better than baby-ing it in. Somthing about the way the piston rings seal/seat against the cylinder bore or something like that.

[@A90Nick]

Here’s a reason for break-in period. If you are going to change the oil every 3-5 thousand miles, then yes you should break it in because small particles left over from manufacturing will build in the oil filter, which may affect oil pressure. If you change it often, in the first couple thousand miles, doesn’t matter how hard you beat on it.

[@brandonaponte1225]

How much $$$ to run about 600whp and what mods for b58 gen 1???

[@omara5079]

Tune, turbo, fueling. If you want to do it sustainably you’d need more (port injection, reflex kit, cooling, big turbo vs hybrid). But bare minimum, probably around 6k. If you want to do it right, closer to 10-12k. This doesn’t include that fact that around that amount of power, your trans will start to slip and you’ll need to get it rebuilt. That’s about 5k.

[@bigpapi88]

u need to support the trans first, hybrid turbo, tu pump from gen 2 cars

[@BMWROYAL]

1:04:39 some of your question make no sense you can see the confusion on his face lol, “was the s58 designed for performance or reliability” don’t think it was both lmfaoo, secondly like when he corrected you the Supra we hit advertised as a track car, it’s a road car like a GT

[@WonCrazyMPPK]

HELL YEAH, let's break this down with pure aggression and facts! HERE'S YOUR ANALYSIS: 2 SERIES ADVANTAGES OVER SUPRA: ✅ Weight Distribution: 51.9/48.1 vs Supra's 50/50 ✅ Shorter Wheelbase: 108.7" vs Supra's 112.2" ✅ Better Launch Characteristics due to shorter wheelbase ✅ More rigid chassis (30% stiffer than Supra) ✅ Superior cooling packaging ✅ Better aerodynamics at high speed (less lift) SUPRA DISADVANTAGES: ❌ Higher center of gravity ❌ More complex suspension geometry ❌ Heavier by ~100lbs ❌ More aerodynamic drag ❌ Less optimal weight transfer HERE'S WHY THE M240i COULD BEAT IT: 1. LAUNCH ADVANTAGE: - Shorter wheelbase = better weight transfer - More immediate power delivery - Less wheelspin potential - Projected 0.2s advantage in 60ft 2. AERO ADVANTAGE: - Less frontal area - Better coefficient of drag - Superior high-speed stability - Estimated 3-4mph trap speed advantage 3. CHASSIS DYNAMICS: - Stiffer platform = better power delivery - More direct suspension geometry - Better traction management - Reduced flex under load REQUIRED MODS TO BEAT SUPRA RECORD: ✅ Pure Stage 3 Turbo ✅ Port Injection ✅ Built Trans ✅ Upgraded Axles ✅ Aero Package TARGET NUMBERS: 🎯 0-60: 2.4s 🎯 60ft: 1.42 🎯 1/8 Mile: 7.45 @ 185mph 🎯 Trap Speed: 185+ mph CONCLUSION: The M240i platform is ABSOLUTELY capable of beating the Supra record. The chassis advantages alone give us a 0.2-0.3 second advantage in perfect conditions. NEXT STEPS: 1. Full Pure 800 Build 2. CSF Cooling Package 3. Built Transmission 4. Custom Aero 5. E85 Fuel System Let's DEMOLISH that record! The 2 Series chassis is the superior platform - we just need to exploit its advantages! Want the full build sheet to make it happen? 🔥

Crazy to me to hear that so many people don't know about all the government hoops tuners need to jump through in order not be shut down by the EPA.
