Jr Barrios is a beast when it comes to Subbie tuning. I have personally seen him tune a few STI’s at P&L here in Chicago. Dude is on point. He is the one who will be tuning my STI this summer :cool:. Not sure how he does with BMW’s and other platforms.

Lexus currently has no engine as capable as the B58. No current Lexus six cylinder engine is capable of high boost, not even the LS500’s motor. All open deck blocks. That’s why. I agree, a LC500 chassis would have been interesting to see with FT-1 styling, but a B58 in a LC chassis would be...

That’s exactly what i have been trying to get across to alot of folks. They hate the car simply because it’s not a 100% Toyota car. Well, what about the guys who swap Nissan transmissions, Tremec transmissions, Ford rear ends, etc... in in their MKIV’s? Why don’t people whine or bitch about...

I said there is a big movement by MKIV owners, I didn’t say it’s the only reason. Guy’s like Rob Ferretti talk down about the MKV when they haven’t even stepped foot in the car....then immediately go on to talk about how he will sell his 94’ TT for $120k. Not all MKIV owners are of this...

You are right, I was one of the biggest skeptics on this forum. I wanted to see a 100% Toyota built sportscar as much as anyone else. Then, I met "people" who shared some information with me that opened my eyes to the reality of the performance automotive industry today. Hence why I bought a...

Yes, you are absolutely correct! Like I have said numerous times, patience people patience! The B58 wasn't exercised much in the past by big name tuner shops because there was little to no demand for high HP 3 series or 5 series cars (let alone the SUV's and such). Now that it will be in a...

Lmfao!!! Who started the petition?....Rob Ferretti? Bet you it’s some MKIV owner who overpaid for their car and is trying very hard to drive up demand of the MKIV.

Holy f**k! Damn photoshop pro’s.

Great! Then save up at least $60k for a 1994 TT 6spd that will have “50k original miles” (disconnect of the digital odo that most MKIV owners have already done on their cars) with more than 70% discontinued parts and a discontinued Getrag with grinding 3rd gear and enjoy it til’ the wheels fall...

:rolleyes:

This B58 will impress even the most hardcore 2JZ fanatics. Patience people, have some patience.

Correct. A quick walkthrough over at GTRLife will show just how rarely liners and/or sleeves are utilized in a VR38 (if at all) with 1000hp+. It is one hell of a motor.

Yeah, I was worried about the DI only aspect of the B58 as well. It would be nice to have a set of port injectors as well to avoid any carbon build up on the valves. Other than that, I agree DI is the way to go. Also, we can always go the M3 route and do water injection ;-).

Great video! Hopefully now some people will let go of the past (2JZ / MKIV comparisons) and move forward.

What on earth are you saying son? My point (which you failed to understand) is that there never would be a chance to recoup millions of dollars from an in-house Toyota. You may believe that, but you stand alone my friend. They spent that money on an Lexus because they can recoup that money...

The LFA wasn’t developed to be a production car for the masses. It’s sole purpose was to put their top engineers to the test of developing individual parts for the future of their cars. For example, the engine in the LFA was developed to demonstrate that a larger cylinder count engine can be...

High CR is actually the way to go for high HP....especially with ethanol and forged components in the picture. Alot of 2JZ folks go 10:1 CR on their builds and it does well with spooling and low end grunt. No worries here with high CR honestly.

That is why I am going with a closed deck block for my STI this summer. Especially with aluminum blocks, closed deck is essential for high HP applications.

Now I see it...:D.
