Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my custom Stage 2 6MT tune for anyone having issues with MHD OTS maps on a 6MT.
The goal of this tune is to give anyone starting a base file to work from, especially if you want to start tuning your own car without having to go through the entire learning curve...
On a good tire (200ish TW or better) and stock power, fuel starve is very real at 1/2 tank or less. For instance a long right sweeper like between T13 to T14 at CMP, I've hit fuel starve/limp mode multiple times, ruining potential PBs.. The only other real weak point with stock hardware is low...
Have you checked the coolant level of both tanks?
It's possible that there was an air bubble trapped, causing a lowcoolant level.
I had the same thing with another car 40km after the water pump was replaced. I filled it up, and it has been going strong ever since.
...a week ago, everything seemed to be back to normal, great.
I've put maybe 50 miles on it the past week, and tonight as I start it up, about to go pick up some late night food, I get a LOWCOOLANT WARNING and immediately feel PTSD flashbacks lol.
Just gonna bring it back in. Idk what to say...
I did the oil and coolant change. This was the first time doing the coolant since taking ownership 6yrs ago.. (car has 6k miles).. the old coolant was a clean green color for both the high and low temp circuits and did not smell awful or anything like that.
I don't have a vacuum filler so...
Ya my mechanical water pump starting weeping at 37k miles 😭
I got a new oem and it was full of burrs inside the coolant ports.
Maybe that's why my original pump went bye bye.
BMW quality control was 100% Yolo sending it with my pump.
I'm not entirely sure, they just referred to it as a "coolant pump failure". I had a lowcoolant warning they brushed off about 8 months ago during a regular service, they topped the coolant up and said to keep an eye on it in case I get the warning message again. Which I didn't, even with this...
Is it the electric low temp coolant pump? It's underneath the intake manifold closer to the steering rack.
This is the pump that directly interface with the Freon in the AC system to exchange head.
Or is the failure the mechanical pump in front of the car driven by the belt?
Either way, the...
Not sure if there's a good way to drain the coolant other than disconnect the bottom hose from the radiator. I haven't personally messed with the cooling system before.
For bleeding, this should work:

Image ??. If it's wet and forming a drop/drip from the pump seal weep hole then the seal is "on the way out" Might last months or less. Hard to say. There are approx 20,000 drops of water in a litre so even losing 100ml of coolant going to be a 2000 drop mess so it's not about the leakage rate...
...engine bay. Its got 31k miles and I've never touched or topped off any coolant since I got it from the dealership. Model year 2025. No lowcoolant warning. Not sure if its coolant residue or something else. Rest of the engine bay looks clean, nothing on the belt or the splash...
Hey everyone,
I have a 2023 gr supra b58 stock tune (with a locked ecu), JB4 (i rarely load a map that is not stock), catless armytrix downpipe w/ cat simulator, mst v2 intake, fuel-it flex fuel sensor (but i've been only running 91 for last 6k miles) with about 23k miles
Recently, my supra...
...I had to add oil after 2000 miles since an oil change. I did change the coolant cap (the larger one) and it seems to have helped. I was getting white smoke from the exhaust, lowcoolant etc.
So, had to have it towed to a mechanic, have googled and read a bunch on the interwebz. Anyone any...
The green is colour is actory fill and the magenta is retail BMW coolant. They changed the retail coolant colour to match the factory fill some time ago. If you only need a few hundred ML for a one off top up then you can just use some plain deminerised water. The dilution % will be neither here...
A couple days ago I got a lowcoolant warning when starting my 2022 Supra 3.0. I looked in the manual and it said to use BMW LC 18 coolant.
When I looked in the reservoir the coolant looked green. I read on other posts here that said to use HT-12. I couldnt find any HT-12 or even LC-18...
Hi everyone.
I haven’t been as active in the forum lately.
I’ve been having two issues with the car for a week now.
First one, the power supply warning appeared, out of nowhere. It says that the battery can’t be charged and I need to request road slide assistance.
About a month ago I installed...
We have seen this leak on the Waterpumps on various Supra and other B58 Gen2 vehicles. Usually only need to address if you are noticing LowCoolant issues. If you are then it's best to replace/refresh the Waterpump and associated seals. One of the lower left bolts near the Crank pulley is hard...
