Building the Ultimate 1000hp A90 Toyota Supra With Steph Papadakis

Making 1000hp these days is a cakewalk. All the right ingredients are right there for you to find online. But making 1000 ponies *reliable*, on a brand new platform, all while smashing that rev limiter relentlessly - now that’s where the build skills come in. And if you’re building a fast Toyota in the U.S., you know exactly where to go: Papadakis Racing. Steph and Betim get into what makes this thing rip.

The insane amount of knowledge between Steph and Betim, and they still manage to step it down a level for everyone to understand

[Juanpi]

I can sit for hours and listen to Steve talk about his knowledge in cars, mechanics, techonolgy. This guy is the GOAT

[commentator.]

Papa is the GOAT for developing the B58 instead of just swapping in a 2JZ

[firelizard]

Charismatic and humble racecar builder interviewing charismatic and humble racecar builder = amazing content

[GARBO]

Love the way he hosted he'll like point something out and then let the other guy talk forever about the car which he built, how it should be

[TheKennonprua]

So happy to see build bio back. And bringing in hell yes

[pieterv]

"Great engineering makes things simple again."
ABSOLUTELY!

[ogentor_no]

Great choice of Betim for host of this. You can tell he's got a fairly good grasp of the technical stuff and shows genuine interest in it, which i'm sure makes it easier for the other part to get real in depth and nerdy. Not that i doubt in Steph on that front, but it might be the case for future features. Nonetheless, stoked on the direction this is going guys

[SloppyMechanics]

Love videos with Stephan, so much knowledge

[ganggasuwana]

It's awesome to see the way Betim making the approach to the car while listening Steph explains everything about it

[Inimigor]

Man, I could watch them talk about this supra and actually any other cars for hours! This is amazing! Papadakis as always showing he's got a ton of knowledge and is happy to show us, I really want to have the same level of proficiency in PC stuff that papadakis has in car stuff.

I've been following Steph since I was a kid, and seen his first 9 second run in the yellow civic. This guy is just a pure genius

[DataRew]

Excellent choice of host! He does a great job in getting info, being concise, and is OBVIOUSLY super qualified to talk about anything mechanical. I'm super excited for the rest of the season

[FraserFulton]

Yo, Betim hosting build bio is awesome!

[jasonpappas]

Betim is the Best Host on Hoonigan! His passion for cars can be seen in the way he talks about them. He puts a smile on my face and we share the same enthusiasm! Please continue to have him as a host!

[Thegtmoose]

By far best buildbiology to date. Intelligence between the two was crazy. The questions asked and the answers given were articulated in such a way that it was technical without being over the head of the casual enthusiast. Betim was given the right assignment for his first opportunity. Bravo hoonigan, but when we going to get more home wrenchers with Sean. In my opinion Betim and Sean are two solid talent acquisitions. Keep it up hoonigan.

Betim x Papadakis combo; Talk Nerdy to Me Session!

[nyalsewell]

BETIM!!! Low key one of the coolest dudes yall have ever had on

[roochiecooch]

I've been following Papadakis Racing since the Scion iM drift car that quickly became the Corolla iM when Scion was discontinued in the US. I absolutely love the work these guys do at their shop. Amazing stuff. I was actually prettty impressed with the stock Supra engine when Papadakis first did their tear down. They did it in preparation for the 1000hp build in this car. Still the oem unit is pretty stout.

Listening To Steph, Never Gets Old. Well Done, Papadakis Racing!
