The Cost of Modifying Your A90 Toyota Supra

The Toyota Supra has been known and a staple in the JDM car community due to its sporty coupe look, and ability to make TONS of power on the stock block. The Mk4 Supra was known for this with its iconic 2JZ GTE motor. Well, the new kid on the block, the BMW developed B58, has certainly been holding its own in the same category.
Our resident Toyota Supra expert Connor is here today to break down the cost of modifying our A90 Supra as well as what it costs to make some big power.

I have a $400 catless DP and $1200 in custom tuning. On E40 my car made 515whp and 551wtq. I slapped a set of Nitto NT555RIIs on it which cost about $900 for the rear. Now it hooks at all rpm and speeds. So that's 515whp, 551wtq, and running the quarter in the high 10s, for roughly $2500 for performance mods. In my opinion, there's probably not another car on the market at the moment that reacts this well to mods for such a little amount of money.

[@ogpunkbuster]

I would say audi rs3 competes, slightly more expensive but you get awd traction and amazing engine note. Both great in my opinion

[@robertrodriguez6764]

My tuner is a good friend of mine and my DP plus tune was $800 on 91 map making 440hp 485tq. Went back for more power and switch to an E50 map, found a faulty spark plug and a missing table in the map. Re-installed 91 map and tuned an E50 map. Car makes 540hp and 570tq. I have nitto 555rIIs as well but only on the rears. This setup is awesome and I have only paid about a grand in engine mods. I want to go pure800 but there's so much involved in getting into 650-700hp 700+tq.

The B58 is a great successor to the 2JZ. It outperforms the 2JZ in nearly every category. Such a fun car to drive.

DID YOU JUST SAY A 2JZ ISN'T THE BEST MOTOR OF ALL TIME?!!?

[@phytoswillams7835]

YOU'RE GONNA HEAR FROM MY ATTORNEY FOR THAT!

[@dposney]

Well except in appearance I think 2JZ looks better but that’s probably because engines In general are covered up nowadays

[@EngineBoiz]

I still believe toyota could made there own engine honestly the yaris was a prime example there made the most power engine per litre. Yeah the b58 is amazing but I feel like toyota probably let smdown the real toyota fans by not producing there own motor

[@basemdl8316]

@@EngineBoiz I feel that the amount of R&D that would go into that is a little much, they were looking to put a worthy inline 6 as the successor rather than what would probably be a trd camry motor or something to that effect, honestly bmw was the best decision they could have made

[@NafaratMiyaMiya]

Toyota actually had quite a few changes made to the B58 for the Supra ... these cars are underrated and they're only going to get more support from the aftermarket ... great vid!

Couldn't agree more! Thanks!

[@ErectileSceptile]

I'm not even a JDM / Import guy but I'm glad more people are coming around to the mkv supra. It's a fantastic car and gets stupid hate. Anybody that knows Toyota knows that they wouldn't have used BMW's engine if it didn't live up to Toyota standards. This is the same company that'll shut down an assembly line for a warped lugnut.

Incredible work ethic/quality control.

Ive got a Stage 2 tune (DME by far the best, piggy back is a joke). It got FBO gets me close to 500 whp on gas. Ready to see what the pure 800 turbo does. E85 could destroy all your lines be careful unless you're a seasoned pro.

[@franciscocruz6726]

I'm happy with my Evo 9 build. I paid $21k several years ago and with roughly $13k invested I have done all kind of maintenance over the span of 7+ years and upped the whp over 450whp along with cosmetic upgrades. $6k more and I'll be in the 550-580whp on stock block and under $40k.

Why are we only seeing 600-800 hp range is it because the b58 isn't capable or it's still new that we aren't seeing 1000+ hp like the 2jz

[@maperformance]

Probably due to the 2jz being over 20 years old, while the B58 hasn't had that same amount of time for R&D!

[@Dan-nr3om]

900 for a downpipe 🤣🤣🤣

[@57precision]

It's a shame all this is irrelevant now due to the locked ECU's if you buy a new Supra. Unless I'm missing something, you can go ahead and add another 5-6K to get it unlocked before you can even start tuning.

[@koston777]

There are going to be a ton of Automatic Supras for sale cheap once manual Supra is released.

[@soapa4279]

You underestimate the market. All the Supras currently sold, the buyers know full well it's an automatic. People love the ZF 8speed. The manual could probably take about 20% if it does come out. So no, there are not going to be a bunch of "Automatic Supras for sale cheap"

[@maperformance]

We hope that the words "cheap" and "Supra" can be used in the same sentence some day!

[@thillyard1]

I doubt it because the ZF is paired so well with the B58 I suspect a manual will give up performance. There are rumors of a manual MKV Supra, but we will see, I do hope they offer it to those that want it but the ZF is no joke.

[@soapa4279]

@@thillyard1 Yeah, also to add I think people keep assuming the automatic is the old traditional slow shifting econoboxes. When in reality, once you drive with one it alters your perception of what automatics can do. I've owned manuals most of my life, and love how fast mine shifts and wouldn't even care to trade for a manual supra.

[@thillyard1]

@@soapa4279 100% agree. The MKV Supra is my first automatic sports car, I’ve probably owned 15 manuals over the years from RX7 to C7 to GT350. I didn’t know if I would l would like the ZF but I love it. I manual/paddle shift in sport mode + about 99% if the time. Car still feels engaging but I’m focusing more of my effort on driving than shifting.
