Look at how bulletproof a new/ independent ecu is compared to the ultra reliable LS. I’ve watched for seven years now and I’ve been waiting for a real LS build. Keep your head up and frustration down. Your awesome tj.
His engine is not even remotely close to stock either. So a stand alone ECU won’t fix his high IAT and EGT issues causing limp mode, it’ll just end up melting pistons. Aasbo’s engine is fully built and would take months to acquire parts to build something comparable. An LS would be super quick as part availability isn’t even comparable. That’ll also allow him to run NA which will eliminate all IAT/EGT issues as it’ll be an NA engine. No turbo, no IAT or EGT or lag issues.. Maybe not the coolest thing to do, but that’s exactly why there’s so many LS’s in Formula D, they just work and live for ever if built properly.

I fail to see the issue. Checkout SIKKY they’ve got an entire LS swap kit for the Supra MKIV $2,700 even includes trans mount and HD driveshaft. Just add an LS and ECU, Radiator and time.
@@jordangarneau8817 Well no shit not everything is gonna go fast and smooth as planned. Thats why its called trust the process. Aasbo team has done it so the b58 is more than capable and any other person can do the same. Will it be costly, sure it will but its part of the game.
Tj im gonna be fully honest I love how unique you are with your builds, but im personally a ls guy and you said it best its just the best simple and reliable setup. Whatever you decide is gonna be sick. Keep kicking ass!
fun and exotic and one offs are great for daily and projects. This at the end of the day is a work car. It needs to work. If LS swap is what gets you there, DO IT. The time effort and money spent on trying new stuff on a car you need to be consistent is being thrown out the window. Go with what works, and let the driver skill shine. Love the channel boys!
Go LS...I'm at 221,000 miles on my stock bottom end LS7, and I've been drifting it since the 200,000 mile point. Bottom end has never been touched. I've replaced the heads every 100,000 miles. Car makes 580 wheel, no issues.
Same as similar comments but surely you could just do a standalone ECU with that motor? As you said, it’s mainly ECU and electronic issues… surely having a stand-alone would limit that and would mean, you have more control over the car and what it does🤷🏼♂️
The engine makes good reliable power, it's just the components controlling everything else that keeps hiccuping. I would swap to traditional steering rack over the electric and drop in a sequential and a standalone ecu and call it a day 😁👍
You do realize the high IAT’s and EGT’s that are the root of his limp mode issues end up melting pistons if the root issue isn’t addressed. A stand alone ECU does nothing to address the root cause of high temps. Hell just end up melting pistons constantly until those issue are corrected.
@@Sunsetchasrs_bts yeah, look at the front nose of a Supra. Practically no where for air to move through it. Definitely a known issue. He’d have to butcher the F out of the front of it with aftermarket intercoolers etc. would be a Huge pain to fix properly. Or he could just do a nasty NA LS build and problem is solved. Remove the turbo and those issues go away. A JZ swap would still have the same issues as their obviously a turbo engine. It’s not so much a B58 issue as it is a air movement/heat issue. Removing the turbo removes that issue.
i think that a simpler system is a good idea, but im not sure a LS is a good fit for your team. you have built a great team and further surrounding support that have a tighter handle on something like a 2J (although personally i would love to see you throw out the bmw next year and pick up a S-chassis with a RB)
The LS is no more complicated than a 2j and it's not like they cant get help with it as its a very common engine.. " S-chassis with a RB" so a generic chassis, he wanted to use the Supra so he could use his kit and be somewhat unique stylistically.. If the LS isn't a great fit, how is the RB any better.
Stand alone ECU would probably be the best route considering the amount of time and custom fab an LS would cost you. Plus the downtime not being able to use the comp car if it’s just sitting. B58 is a competitive motor for sure. With you as a driver and your amazing team it can definitely win championships. We’re proud of you Teej. keep moving forward!
A LS would be dope don't get me wrong. but you have a BUILT 2J!! I think it would so cool to finally see that in a car especially the A90. obviously do what you think is best and keep up the great work!!!!
DONT GIVE UP ON THE B58 TJ !! Try to sort out the problems ASAP. If it leads to a dead end, then take matters to your own hands 🫡 (🏁Ls7 or 2jZ PAPA🎉🏁).
Awesome video as always TJ Hunt and Crew. TJ which ever motor you choose wether it's a LS or a JZ or you choose to keep the current one just choose which ever fits your style of driving.
Standalone for direct injection is still not on the market, as far as i know. He will have to go port injection only for this to work 🤷🏻♂️, which is a lot more hassle than needed
How about you do the track supra thing of getting an upgraded intake manifold to correct your IATs (EOS>CSF>AMS) then go standalone if it continues to have issues. Stock manifold heat soaks easily. B58 will be bulletproof at 500-600. As far as the ECU you'll have to go standalone with any swap as well anyways.
Seems like you could just put an ecu on it and no more limp mode problems. Then youd still be on the reliable stock drivetrain you initially set out to run.
Doesn’t fix the REAL issues that are causing the safeties to trip. High IAT’s and High EGT’s melt pistons in damn near the blink of an eye. Does nothing for the reliability and will certainly make the issues even worse.
@@MechanicalMafiosotell me you know nothing about a stand-alone without telling me… you can still have every safety under the sun in terms of engine management in a standalone system… the benefit to going to a stand-alone system is you can set the parameters to everything and remove the limitations setting it into limp mode for the steering. The cooling system is an easier fix if that was the only issue he was having but it isn’t the only thing going wrong.
@@MrYetti 🤣🤣🤣 Tell me you know nothing about how turbo engines work or how engines work in general without telling me… DA!!! Those safety’s are there for a reason on turbo cars…. DAMFER! 🤦♂️
@@MrYetti maybe look into what high IAT’s or high EGT’s will do to an engine specifically pistons! That’s why it’s going into limp mode, the front of a Supra has jack for air flow…. Now smart guy, tell me how a stand alone is going to correct said heat issues besides turning a blind eye to it. Which if you didn’t know will end up with holes in pistons if the heat issue isn’t fixed. So again how exactly is a stand alone going to fix that? 🤨🧐
@@MechanicalMafioso my god you are dense as a damn wall… one quick scroll and I can see you just replied to everyone over and over copy/paste. You are like a kid who just learned what IAT and EGT is and it is now your whole identity. Keep on googling buddy.
I say go LS and be happy with a reliable setup instead of having all the headaches everytime you go to competitions. Not only that but the accessibility of parts if something does break.
Like the B58 isn't already an extremely reliable engine... Although, a 7 litre LS engine would be a lot stronger and would be way easier to make power, than the original 3 litre
Think you should really reach out to Papdakis Racing and pick his brain on the B58 before you switch to a different engine platform. Also I would rather see a JZ in the Supra versus an LS. Would feel so wrong seeing an LS in the Supra, though I get why you want to do it.
TJ just chill... no need to rip out everything when the only problem you have is ECU. And your easy fix is standalone. Simple. The power , the engine i mean everything else looked great. Keep B58! LS = boring. You know it.
Try some coolers first on the off season then switch up. The car performs great. Almost looked like how a 350z would compete stock in terms of reliability.
Me personally tj thinking that starting with the jz would be better for you financially and if you don’t like the feel of the jz or if it happens to break parts aren’t gonna be as cheap so what am thinking is that you should get a feel of the jz before going all out for the Ls swap
Just go LS, whatever is most reliable and will put you in the best situation for competition. Whatever you build Teej we will watch.. You’re here to win and takeover
its really a surprise to see you and jimmy choosing ls over jz. with all your jdm roots and all. but if something works i understand the decision. for competition sake you need reliability. i just loved adams 2jz e36 so much. well i hope whatever you decide works. and good luck to all of you in future comps..
Adam’s jz e36 is overbuilt to the moon and back for the power it is making though. It is hella turned down compared to the well over 1k whp it can be putting down. That is the only reason that car is as reliable as it is and even then, he had a lot of growing pains to get it there.
@@MrYetti oh i get it. thats why i said i understood. but we are also here to voice opinion. and i stand by the fact that adams jz e36 was probably sicker than any ls e36 i have seen built. just my opinion as a spectator and fan. im not the driver. tj is. and if they decide on an ls im sure he will crush it regardless. our boy has talent.
TJ why changing the B58? Swap all the eletronics! Tbh, almost everyone says that the b58>2JZ so why changing the engine when you can upgrade it to be a monster🙃 Give it some thought
@@cordelldejagerThat's true! And he never had some real issue with it! B58 is a beast and I would never swap that engine with a LS!!! Maybe a JZ but hardly
if you want reliable go for the ls but spice it up a bit with a turbsky and a link ecu v8 has alot of bottom end torque you wont regret it love youre content all the way from south africa doing great keep making content
My personal opinion about swapping it is that it is probably a better option to ls swap it as much as I love the JZ I always seem to find that it just has reliability problems and considering you are in the US there is just generally a lot more support for v8's and stuff so it would make everything a lot more simple in the grand schema of things
AdamLZ made like 750 wheel with a slightly up graded turbo and Ignite Red on stock internals in like 6 months of the A90 being released in 2020. The power is available and, when the electronics behave themselves, TJ already looks comfortable in that chassis. So I agree, keep the B58, but change the few components that keep causing problems. The engine and transmission aren't the issues, the steering is
LS is easier to drive, tune, and maintain than a JZ. I like the idea of B58 on stand-alone but you’d need to support to get it setup properly and tuned
I know the b58 engine and know the temps that they get and the limp mode that they get on them. And have had two racks replaced bcs they have failed me. I could say that doing an ls would be the easiest route and the safest. And yes b58, b48, b46 and b38 have had all temps issues and coolant issues and forcing them would not help them. If you want to keep one last time the Supra you should take it to a specialist and do a complete flush on the car. And work the rack but if you are going to use the stock rack ur going to have the same problem over and over and over again.
Screw a stand-alone all you need is cooling mods with a good custom tune.. as for the rack jus swap to a e90 335 manual rack it’s already been done before
A Motec standalone would solve all the issues. Papadakis would be a great help or any other Motec certified shop with good experience. Heck, just contact Motec and they might hook you up as a sponsor. The Motec can communicate with all the car electronics through CAN and keep it happy even if the engine blew up. No limp modes or freaking out sensors while keeping A/C, headunit, and dash happy. Not to mention all the added benefits of a standalone like logging, adjust tuning on the fly, multiple maps, nitrous, E85/race gas and so on.
I'm also more inclined to build the supra with an aftermarket ECU, something like Haltech maybe, that way you can maintain the soul of the supra (its whole drivetrain) and also be controlling all that stuff that's meant for street use instead of track use.
Teeg, put an LS. And here’s my reasoning for why I say LS over 2JZ. You had Selena go through how many 2JZ’s? How many times in pits because of a A/N fitting loose or something else is loose? How many times did the motor come out to be rebuilt? LS is the simple answer just to be one and done unless you wanna do a coyote swap 😅👀
VIPER ENGINE, there a 8.0L, 8.1L, 8.2L, 8.3L, 8.4L, or my favorite is the built stroker 9.0L V10. But if u r leaning towards a LS cuz of reliability, then I would go Chevy small block over LS, cuz its been around the block (pun intended) a few more times than the LS. Plus u can make more usable power, for probably cheaper than a LS. Just a thought.
Please stick with it and don't go LS It might be the easy option but you said it yourself you signed up knowing this wasn't going to be plain sailing, keep at it bro you and the team can do this
Be different and throw a 5.0 Coyote, like what's in the RTR mustangs. Check with Adam and get his honest thoughts on it? Also seeing you shred with the supra when it's working is absolutely siiiiiiiiiick. Love the work Tj !
I think it'd be neat to do the jz but it kinda sucks after how hard you fought to get the manual supra but it'd be neat to use a toyota engine in the new toyota. But hopefully you can find a solution to use the original driveline!
tbh you can always have the stock motor build. But in these conditions especially drifting in many places upgraded coolers should’ve been added from day 1. Csf/D088 have engineered coolers that do much better then OE. give the b58 another chance.
VHR fully built and maxed with a supercharger. I’ve been seeing a lot of DE’s swapped in cars but randomly seeing a VHR fully built and pushing a solid 600hp in a mk5 would be sick and different 100%!
B58 with aftermarket ecu, go back to a powered steering pump on the belt. the capabilities of the B58 is insane, motor isn't the problem. The electronic rack were not built to withstand this type of abuse from factory. Seen many cars come threw my shop with failed electronic racks do to lower and wheels. Put's more stress on the motor than it's built for.
At the end of the day, you already answered your own question as to which engine you want to go with. " I didn't think I cared as much about competition till I get in moments like this " LS. they are reliable, if they start having issues it's easy to fix them, there is more than enough room for it and if you want to go over 500-600 you could do a supercharger or twin turbo setup. They're easy to work on and they have such ready available parts for them that if it ever comes down to you needing a part from an auto store while at an event you can go get it opposed to the JZ. I vote LS. less issues, more in stock parts, easy to work on, tons of options to where you can build it just how you want it.
high compression (9.4:1 Series 4 FC NA rotors) turbocharged 20B. All of the power, all of the response, plenty of torque, reliability where it matters most, be one of the few, show up Adam's 4 rotor supra
I would love to see this B58 work, since it’s still fairly new platform. I remember you mentioned something about Papadakis racing helping you out. I could of misheard this. However a collaboration or asking for help with Papadakis racing would be cool.

LS IT IS MY GUY !! Do what’s best for you and the team in competition don’t leave it up to us . This build is what’s best for you guys in the end .
So stoked to hear an LS swap!!
Aasbo is also using the b58 for his in FD, Id say stand alone ecu and go from there. Keep the original contents that car came with!
His engine is not even remotely close to stock either. So a stand alone ECU won’t fix his high IAT and EGT issues causing limp mode, it’ll just end up melting pistons. Aasbo’s engine is fully built and would take months to acquire parts to build something comparable. An LS would be super quick as part availability isn’t even comparable. That’ll also allow him to run NA which will eliminate all IAT/EGT issues as it’ll be an NA engine. No turbo, no IAT or EGT or lag issues.. Maybe not the coolest thing to do, but that’s exactly why there’s so many LS’s in Formula D, they just work and live for ever if built properly.
@@MechanicalMafioso Just a opinion man, he stated to just comment down ideas thats what we are doing is giving him suggestions. But yes to your comment, im sure the team know what they are doing nonetheless
@@MechanicalMafiosoall you've said is "aasbo's team has done the work and TJ doesn't want to " ....... it takes months to swap a car and properly work out all the kinks .
@@jordangarneau8817 for an LS swap? 🤣 LS swap could get done in a week. Pretty sure there’s a bunch of info on doing a LS swap, literally the easiest in the world to do. Support for just about any combination is there. Want engine mounts? No problem someone makes them. Want tunes everyone and their brother can tune an LS. Need parts? Also everywhere. I fail to see the issue.
Checkout SIKKY they’ve got an entire LS swap kit for the Supra MKIV
$2,700 even includes trans mount and HD driveshaft. Just add an LS and ECU, Radiator and time.
@@jordangarneau8817 Well no shit not everything is gonna go fast and smooth as planned. Thats why its called trust the process. Aasbo team has done it so the b58 is more than capable and any other person can do the same. Will it be costly, sure it will but its part of the game.
Tj im gonna be fully honest I love how unique you are with your builds, but im personally a ls guy and you said it best its just the best simple and reliable setup. Whatever you decide is gonna be sick. Keep kicking ass!
fun and exotic and one offs are great for daily and projects. This at the end of the day is a work car. It needs to work. If LS swap is what gets you there, DO IT. The time effort and money spent on trying new stuff on a car you need to be consistent is being thrown out the window. Go with what works, and let the driver skill shine. Love the channel boys!
I think it is time for a LS build on the channel honestly. So hyped for that
Factual, we need supercharged bald eagle supra
b58 is an amazing motor...... you should work together with a shop to make a custom harness and do a standalone ecu. It is the best option
I'd personally prefer the JZ but totally understand why you go the more reliable route
Go LS...I'm at 221,000 miles on my stock bottom end LS7, and I've been drifting it since the 200,000 mile point. Bottom end has never been touched. I've replaced the heads every 100,000 miles. Car makes 580 wheel, no issues.
Same as similar comments but surely you could just do a standalone ECU with that motor? As you said, it’s mainly ECU and electronic issues… surely having a stand-alone would limit that and would mean, you have more control over the car and what it does🤷🏼♂️
The engine makes good reliable power, it's just the components controlling everything else that keeps hiccuping.
I would swap to traditional steering rack over the electric and drop in a sequential and a standalone ecu and call it a day 😁👍
really hoping he goes this route
You do realize the high IAT’s and EGT’s that are the root of his limp mode issues end up melting pistons if the root issue isn’t addressed. A stand alone ECU does nothing to address the root cause of high temps. Hell just end up melting pistons constantly until those issue are corrected.
@@MechanicalMafioso oh 😬😬
@@Sunsetchasrs_bts yeah, look at the front nose of a Supra. Practically no where for air to move through it. Definitely a known issue. He’d have to butcher the F out of the front of it with aftermarket intercoolers etc. would be a Huge pain to fix properly. Or he could just do a nasty NA LS build and problem is solved. Remove the turbo and those issues go away. A JZ swap would still have the same issues as their obviously a turbo engine. It’s not so much a B58 issue as it is a air movement/heat issue. Removing the turbo removes that issue.
@stephenjohnson9235 he had a power steering issue. How's that engine related?
i love to see that your drifting getting better by every year . much respect man !
Im all for TJ doing his own LS, keep the stock stuff in storage just incase, it cant hurt to venture down a new route! Or at least try!
JZ Build! You can def tune it powerful enough to compete and low enough to be reliable
I like LS but why not try a stand alone ECU first. Would be less work than a LS swap to get everything to work. Even if you go after market steering
A LS will change your life TJ! So hyped to see a V8 build
The way you adapted every round and did better and better let's us see your the real deal !!!💪🏻
i think that a simpler system is a good idea, but im not sure a LS is a good fit for your team. you have built a great team and further surrounding support that have a tighter handle on something like a 2J (although personally i would love to see you throw out the bmw next year and pick up a S-chassis with a RB)
The LS is no more complicated than a 2j and it's not like they cant get help with it as its a very common engine.. " S-chassis with a RB" so a generic chassis, he wanted to use the Supra so he could use his kit and be somewhat unique stylistically.. If the LS isn't a great fit, how is the RB any better.
LS is the easy way out, 2JZ…100k on a body kit. You can build a pro spec JZ
Stand alone ECU would probably be the best route considering the amount of time and custom fab an LS would cost you. Plus the downtime not being able to use the comp car if it’s just sitting. B58 is a competitive motor for sure. With you as a driver and your amazing team it can definitely win championships. We’re proud of you Teej. keep moving forward!
A LS would be dope don't get me wrong. but you have a BUILT 2J!! I think it would so cool to finally see that in a car especially the A90. obviously do what you think is best and keep up the great work!!!!
DONT GIVE UP ON THE B58 TJ !!
Try to sort out the problems ASAP. If it leads to a dead end, then take matters to your own hands 🫡
(🏁Ls7 or 2jZ PAPA🎉🏁).
Awesome video as always TJ Hunt and Crew. TJ which ever motor you choose wether it's a LS or a JZ or you choose to keep the current one just choose which ever fits your style of driving.
Keep b58 with standalone
Standalone for direct injection is still not on the market, as far as i know. He will have to go port injection only for this to work 🤷🏻♂️, which is a lot more hassle than needed
The wheel tyre sizing on the supra is perfect. Bring back chunky sidewalls!
How about you do the track supra thing of getting an upgraded intake manifold to correct your IATs (EOS>CSF>AMS) then go standalone if it continues to have issues. Stock manifold heat soaks easily. B58 will be bulletproof at 500-600. As far as the ECU you'll have to go standalone with any swap as well anyways.
Seems like you could just put an ecu on it and no more limp mode problems. Then youd still be on the reliable stock drivetrain you initially set out to run.
Doesn’t fix the REAL issues that are causing the safeties to trip. High IAT’s and High EGT’s melt pistons in damn near the blink of an eye. Does nothing for the reliability and will certainly make the issues even worse.
@@MechanicalMafiosotell me you know nothing about a stand-alone without telling me… you can still have every safety under the sun in terms of engine management in a standalone system… the benefit to going to a stand-alone system is you can set the parameters to everything and remove the limitations setting it into limp mode for the steering. The cooling system is an easier fix if that was the only issue he was having but it isn’t the only thing going wrong.
@@MrYetti 🤣🤣🤣 Tell me you know nothing about how turbo engines work or how engines work in general without telling me… DA!!! Those safety’s are there for a reason on turbo cars…. DAMFER! 🤦♂️
@@MrYetti maybe look into what high IAT’s or high EGT’s will do to an engine specifically pistons! That’s why it’s going into limp mode, the front of a Supra has jack for air flow…. Now smart guy, tell me how a stand alone is going to correct said heat issues besides turning a blind eye to it. Which if you didn’t know will end up with holes in pistons if the heat issue isn’t fixed. So again how exactly is a stand alone going to fix that? 🤨🧐
@@MechanicalMafioso my god you are dense as a damn wall… one quick scroll and I can see you just replied to everyone over and over copy/paste. You are like a kid who just learned what IAT and EGT is and it is now your whole identity. Keep on googling buddy.
Hell yes, finally some drifting on the main channel again😎
Another vote for B58 with a standalone. I think the engine is fine. I think the BMW DME parameters are bull$hitting on you and causing these problems.
I agree. B58 is already a proven engine. Just look at Papadakis
LS baby!!!! Finally!!! I can’t wait!!
The corvette chase was sick af.
Go LS, its your car at the end of the day so do what you want, everyone is just here do watch your automotive journey
Keep the b58 and manual
I say go LS and be happy with a reliable setup instead of having all the headaches everytime you go to competitions. Not only that but the accessibility of parts if something does break.
Like the B58 isn't already an extremely reliable engine...
Although, a 7 litre LS engine would be a lot stronger and would be way easier to make power, than the original 3 litre
Damn TJ that was some killer driving.
LS Baby! Cheaper and more potential. Plus it will be great content and the sound coming from a new Supra would be nuts
Think you should really reach out to Papdakis Racing and pick his brain on the B58 before you switch to a different engine platform. Also I would rather see a JZ in the Supra versus an LS. Would feel so wrong seeing an LS in the Supra, though I get why you want to do it.
I definitely think it’s time to go on a full stand-alone and simplify the car 👌🏽
TJ just chill... no need to rip out everything when the only problem you have is ECU. And your easy fix is standalone. Simple.
The power , the engine i mean everything else looked great. Keep B58!
LS = boring. You know it.
Try some coolers first on the off season then switch up. The car performs great. Almost looked like how a 350z would compete stock in terms of reliability.
TJ lets go for that LS I always wanted to see an LS swapped Supra.With an LS you would get eassy W. You did great
Me personally tj thinking that starting with the jz would be better for you financially and if you don’t like the feel of the jz or if it happens to break parts aren’t gonna be as cheap so what am thinking is that you should get a feel of the jz before going all out for the Ls swap
Is there anyway u can use a standalone ecu?
Sure, but does nothing to fix the high IAT/EGT issues he’s having that are the root of his limp mode issues. All that’ll accomplish is melted pistons.
Just watching the tj clips and this pops up ❤
Just go LS, whatever is most reliable and will put you in the best situation for competition. Whatever you build Teej we will watch..
You’re here to win and takeover
@@cordelldejager 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The edit when you passed the first cone on the practice session made me spit water all over my computer! Haha good stuff!
Finally TJ is going to step his game up by doing an LS build!
its really a surprise to see you and jimmy choosing ls over jz. with all your jdm roots and all. but if something works i understand the decision. for competition sake you need reliability. i just loved adams 2jz e36 so much. well i hope whatever you decide works. and good luck to all of you in future comps..
One word RELIABILITY! JZ isn’t even close.
Adam’s jz e36 is overbuilt to the moon and back for the power it is making though. It is hella turned down compared to the well over 1k whp it can be putting down. That is the only reason that car is as reliable as it is and even then, he had a lot of growing pains to get it there.
@@MrYetti oh i get it. thats why i said i understood. but we are also here to voice opinion. and i stand by the fact that adams jz e36 was probably sicker than any ls e36 i have seen built. just my opinion as a spectator and fan. im not the driver. tj is. and if they decide on an ls im sure he will crush it regardless. our boy has talent.
@@MechanicalMafioso oh i understand. and thats what i said. doesnt make it cooler tho. but our boy will crush it regardless how he builds it.
TJ why changing the B58? Swap all the eletronics!
Tbh, almost everyone says that the b58>2JZ so why changing the engine when you can upgrade it to be a monster🙃 Give it some thought
@@cordelldejagerThat's true! And he never had some real issue with it! B58 is a beast and I would never swap that engine with a LS!!! Maybe a JZ but hardly
if you want reliable go for the ls but spice it up a bit with a turbsky and a link ecu v8 has alot of bottom end torque you wont regret it love youre content all the way from south africa doing great keep making content
My personal opinion about swapping it is that it is probably a better option to ls swap it as much as I love the JZ I always seem to find that it just has reliability problems and considering you are in the US there is just generally a lot more support for v8's and stuff so it would make everything a lot more simple in the grand schema of things
JZ maaaaaan! Keep a Supra a Supra! You said it yourself. Almost everyone is running LS. JZ ftw!
I would love to see you guys do an LS for the supra. Honestly would love if you guys did more LS builds 🔥
Please keep the b58 it would be nice to see more mods to make it more competitive and see what the platform is really capable of
AdamLZ made like 750 wheel with a slightly up graded turbo and Ignite Red on stock internals in like 6 months of the A90 being released in 2020.
The power is available and, when the electronics behave themselves, TJ already looks comfortable in that chassis. So I agree, keep the B58, but change the few components that keep causing problems. The engine and transmission aren't the issues, the steering is
LS is easier to drive, tune, and maintain than a JZ. I like the idea of B58 on stand-alone but you’d need to support to get it setup properly and tuned
I know the b58 engine and know the temps that they get and the limp mode that they get on them. And have had two racks replaced bcs they have failed me. I could say that doing an ls would be the easiest route and the safest. And yes b58, b48, b46 and b38 have had all temps issues and coolant issues and forcing them would not help them. If you want to keep one last time the Supra you should take it to a specialist and do a complete flush on the car. And work the rack but if you are going to use the stock rack ur going to have the same problem over and over and over again.
Make the b58 work. We've seen 2J this LS that RB whatever.
The LS with NOS would probably be the most reliable option imo. And we need a LS build on the channel.
I think either a texas speed 427 or a LSX 454 would sound beautiful as well as perform perfectly. I’m leaning towards the LSX 😊
Screw a stand-alone all you need is cooling mods with a good custom tune.. as for the rack jus swap to a e90 335 manual rack it’s already been done before
A Motec standalone would solve all the issues. Papadakis would be a great help or any other Motec certified shop with good experience. Heck, just contact Motec and they might hook you up as a sponsor.
The Motec can communicate with all the car electronics through CAN and keep it happy even if the engine blew up.
No limp modes or freaking out sensors while keeping A/C, headunit, and dash happy. Not to mention all the added benefits of a standalone like logging, adjust tuning on the fly, multiple maps, nitrous, E85/race gas and so on.
I would rather see an 2J but won’t be bent either way
Gent B58 is a great motor and make great power, easy 700hp on stock block, just put it on a stand-alone management system.
I'm also more inclined to build the supra with an aftermarket ECU, something like Haltech maybe, that way you can maintain the soul of the supra (its whole drivetrain) and also be controlling all that stuff that's meant for street use instead of track use.
Teeg, put an LS. And here’s my reasoning for why I say LS over 2JZ. You had Selena go through how many 2JZ’s? How many times in pits because of a A/N fitting loose or something else is loose? How many times did the motor come out to be rebuilt? LS is the simple answer just to be one and done unless you wanna do a coyote swap 😅👀
VIPER ENGINE, there a 8.0L, 8.1L, 8.2L, 8.3L, 8.4L, or my favorite is the built stroker 9.0L V10. But if u r leaning towards a LS cuz of reliability, then I would go Chevy small block over LS, cuz its been around the block (pun intended) a few more times than the LS. Plus u can make more usable power, for probably cheaper than a LS. Just a thought.
Please go LS you are a very talented driver and you need the reliability. Also great build series for us to watch
Please stick with it and don't go LS It might be the easy option but you said it yourself you signed up knowing this wasn't going to be plain sailing, keep at it bro you and the team can do this
Supercharged LS would be all you need and you would have instant torque at your hands on a super reliable platform!
Don’t give up on the B58 so quick man it’s a new platform everyone’s still learning somewhere they’ll be the help you need to get this right
Be different and throw a 5.0 Coyote, like what's in the RTR mustangs. Check with Adam and get his honest thoughts on it? Also seeing you shred with the supra when it's working is absolutely siiiiiiiiiick. Love the work Tj !
I think it'd be neat to do the jz but it kinda sucks after how hard you fought to get the manual supra but it'd be neat to use a toyota engine in the new toyota. But hopefully you can find a solution to use the original driveline!
LS 100% baby! .. every champ have their losses. But it’s always to make you better.. BIG love team! ❤
403ci LS with a harrop 2650, all the torque and power on tap 👌🏻
how much i love the b58, i would love to see a supercharged ls3, i think the screaming of a supercharger in the mk5 would sound sick
tbh you can always have the stock motor build. But in these conditions especially drifting in many places upgraded coolers should’ve been added from day 1. Csf/D088 have engineered coolers that do much better then OE. give the b58 another chance.
VHR fully built and maxed with a supercharger. I’ve been seeing a lot of DE’s swapped in cars but randomly seeing a VHR fully built and pushing a solid 600hp in a mk5 would be sick and different 100%!
B58 with aftermarket ecu, go back to a powered steering pump on the belt. the capabilities of the B58 is insane, motor isn't the problem. The electronic rack were not built to withstand this type of abuse from factory. Seen many cars come threw my shop with failed electronic racks do to lower and wheels. Put's more stress on the motor than it's built for.
At the end of the day, you already answered your own question as to which engine you want to go with. " I didn't think I cared as much about competition till I get in moments like this " LS. they are reliable, if they start having issues it's easy to fix them, there is more than enough room for it and if you want to go over 500-600 you could do a supercharger or twin turbo setup. They're easy to work on and they have such ready available parts for them that if it ever comes down to you needing a part from an auto store while at an event you can go get it opposed to the JZ.
I vote LS. less issues, more in stock parts, easy to work on, tons of options to where you can build it just how you want it.
high compression (9.4:1 Series 4 FC NA rotors) turbocharged 20B. All of the power, all of the response, plenty of torque, reliability where it matters most, be one of the few, show up Adam's 4 rotor supra
I would love to see this B58 work, since it’s still fairly new platform. I remember you mentioned something about Papadakis racing helping you out. I could of misheard this. However a collaboration or asking for help with Papadakis racing would be cool.
Talk to the guys over at Haltech to see what they can recommend. Probably faster to rewire the car with the current setup.
