I lol'd so hard at the road rage, Pete is such a well mannered and composed man in the videos but we all hate idiots in traffic haha

[christopherokeefe]

This is the essence of a JDM build. Kudos for staying true to the “OEM +” goal…can’t wait to see the target price!

[curtism]

I hate the disregard people have when seeing you drive, absolutely love the car, sounds incredible guys!! The excitement I hear in your voice is quite contagious, just incredible...

[g-mane]

When Pete road rages lol. But man that dude was being stupid maybe because he saw a SUPRA!!! LOL

[dbrandon]

So Clean!!
Would rather have 383hp safe Hp all day instead of blowing up

[tarun]

this entire build made me fall back in love with supras again.
one of the most cleanest and most detailed builds ever on YouTube
so hyped to look at the bidding wars on this!!

[timocallaghan]

I am kind of in awe that you just decided to build the second supra out, those wheels are amazing!

[gforceracesolutions]

Love these videos. The lulls in the shift you describe is from the ecu cutting fuel, retarding ign timing and closing the TRC throttle, that's why you hear the BOV go off every shift even with foot to the floor. Fitting a shift kitted valve body would cut the 1/4mile times by up to 0.5sec and also prolong the life of the transmission by minimising slippage between shifts and holding power up top by mechanically increasing line pressure and opening up passages in the shift circuits. Once you've done that you could remove the TRC fuse and or disconnect the "throttle ecu", it would trigger a fault code 89 but that will allow you to build boost on the line and not shut the TRC throttle valve preventing decent launch. Taking it further a standalone ecu controlling both the engine and transmission would transform the car to feel much more direct and modern.

The supercut of PT putting the door card back on was a nice touch. Also, love the new center caps on those stunning wheels...really ties the whole build together!

[JohnDoe-mxsq]

The shift timings are in the TCU. Most import transmissions from that era can handle more like pressure and tighter timings. They were so concerned about having the smoothest shifts they overbuilt the trans and took all the snap out of the shifts.

Just a gem of a car. Love the build guys. So nice to see the twins on there. I am in love with those rims. Pete getting upset was hilarious,

[Shiaxz]

Everytime I hear jz or rb idle, my brain tingles. There is just something with those inline sixes with the 3" exhaust that is so soothing to me

My wife drives an automatic 6.0 GTO with long tubes and I have to say it’s a nice change of pace and still fun to drive from time to time coming out of my mazdaspeed3.

[TshuajCL]

i remember seeing guys making 450whp just with bolt on with stock twins. great seeing this video. brings back highschool memories sitting in the back seat of a TT auto supra

[charleshenshaw]

This was such a great series. That engine is making over 450hp at the crank. Really a job well done. ✌

Another awesome episode, thank you very much!

Before I bought my Supra, I test drove the 6-speed manual (both NA and TT), 5-speed manual and the 4-speed auto (both NA and TT) . I fell in love with the 4-speed and I've been rocking it ever since. I have shimmed my actuators and increased the pressure in the valve body so it does shift faster and firmer, but obviously, it's not going to be as quick as a modern automatic transmission. When I'm driving around town, the shifts are smooth and you wouldn't know any different, but out on the back roads, you know that the transmission is not stock. It really is a great transmission, but again, it's not for everyone - same with the manuals. The good thing is that we have choice and we can go with whatever works for us 👍🏾.

[jyoung]

No hate on this build. Keep up the good work!

[MrNathan]

I love how this kept true to what the Supra is, OEM+ builds like these are my absolute favorite by far as it still keeps to the original car as much as possible whatever car it may be.

[Syscrush]

If you had told me that I'd be saying this 25 years ago, I would have said you're out of your mind...

But over the years I've actually developed some fondness for good old slushbox autos. They're reliable, smooth, easy to creep & launch, and with (usually) fewer gears, they can run through the rev range without hunting. When set up right and driven on public roads, they can be really sweet.

[miketejero]

And because of this, resale value of the MkIV Supra automatic just went off the roof! Great series guys!
