Is a tune worth it?! + My 500HP 2021 Supra Review

Honestly, the stock 3.0 is pretty damn fast.

I’ve watched 30+ videos on tuning supras (I’m about to buy one) and this is the best video by far

Equal parts e85 and 91 doesn’t get you to e50. That would give you at best e42.5. A flex fuel sensor, like a Fuel-it and an e85 calculator is helpful for knowing the ratios to add at each fillup

I test drove one and I didn't feel the need for more power even in normal mode it's crazy fast

[Jbpgarage]

Nice, 500 hp is the sweet spot. I drove a 700 hp F80 M3 and that was scary.

I have 2 B58 cars. One stock and one with a hybrid turbo and E30 mix. The difference is amazing. The extra 150+ HP makes a world of difference. My Supra would get destroyed by my stock looking 340i. I’m still wondering if I will go all out with the Supra or custom tune with the stock turbo. Supra still has payments and under warranty. That’s what’s holding me back.

Kind of makes me wish I would've went with a A90/91 versus my OG M2 just for that B58!

I have a Visconti e50 tune. What makes the e50 tune so much fun in daily driving is the incredible torque. What dampens the fun is the stock Michelins. I replaced my rears with 305/35-19 R888R's after about two weeks of incessant spinning. The only downside is they are a bit noisy. I certainly would not run them all around for that reason.

Man what a awesome video. That burble thing is really cool also. The only negative thing about tuning your car is the potential for warranty problems if something were to break.

As a Supra launch edition owner... Bottom line is the car was made to be tuned. It's called the B58TU and it was developed as such. You can easily put 100whp in it on gas alone. If you don't you're missing out. Also by adding 100whp you still get decent gas mileage, somewhere around 22mpg

Flex fuel kit with ecutek software is best for getting perfect e50 blend. Ecutek shows your fuel in liters which is much more accurate than gallons. My tuner also has my sport display showing the ethanol percentage so I can check it with one button press(preset on programmable number buttons). Gas station ethanol pumps vary in ethanol content from 75-82 where I live in NYC/LI area so you have to test it out and see which stations offer the most ethanol content for your money. It’s never equal parts ethanol and 93 for me. I always have to put more e85 than 93 to get the perfect E50 blend. Worth it completely so I can make my 500whp and 600wtq. The car is extremely fun on proper 305 rear tire setup. Too bad I’m craving more power. 🤦🏻‍♂️

3:45 that's called splash blending in the oil industry

[jackisgreatness]

Really appreciate the video! I got mine just under a year ago and I’m still under warranty, but a tune is so tempting.

I was wondering if you are running a tune on factory parts? Or do you have any bolt ons?

[KingOfEden]

Off the shelf tuning isn’t always a “prediction” I can’t speak on behalf of all of them obviously but I would say some of them are made to be that perfect balance of a boost in power while still keeping reliability in mind. Depending on the brand, some OTS products are tested many times to find that “sweet safe” spot for the specific car. Obviously if you want maximum power you’re gonna need a custom tune but that’s also a risk depending on the tuner. There are some tuners who have guessed if something would work on a car and the driver ends up blowing their motors. So I think it all depends on the quality here. Is the OTS tune from an accredited company? Is the tuner a reliable person that takes everything including reliability into consideration? And obviously if you have the money for a custom tune.

You forgot to mention you can easily get 500+ hp on pump and not have to bs about with E mixes. IMO worth the upgrade (pays for itself in the end (time and bs is money)). pump and done for dailies 5-600hp range, race fuel is for when you are modded out (stage 3 range) and pushing for the top line imo. Sure it's super attractive at first glance but work smarter, not harder. It's just bs you don't have to deal with (mixing). Get it wrong and you could be in big trouble. good vid none-the-less ;)
Edit: Also, if you do decide to run an ethanol mix, something like Zeitronix ECA that monitors and displays your fuel mix is worth its weight in gold. big time saver and ensures you are on your mark ;)
I love telling e boys "I run on pump" lol sorry it's just satisfying ;)

People says it's a BMW it's not real, etc etc, , I don't care I want one 😄👍🏼

For those that aren't aware, he's talking about 500 whp, which is actually around 600 hp to the crank as a manufacturer would advertise. He's making more to the wheels than am R35 which advertises around 560 bhp, or 470-490 whp.

A 21+ Supra dynos 370-390 rwhp stock which is actually underrated and closer to 440 hp crank.

[richardquiles]

I've been debating between a F82 M4 or a Supra and now im leaning more towards the supra, Great Vid

[nathanway]

I got ecutek tune on my a90. It made 450hp on 98 octane. Catless exhaust system and CAI. These cars are fun. Eventually I'll put it on E85.

Who tuned ur 21 Supra? Heard botti is best for more power
