I've ran them on the B48 Supra and now the 3.0. They perform beautifully through the twisties. IMO, they aren't the best for launching though. I was struggling for traction on my E30 build on the 2.0, much less now. Overall, they are excellent and my only gripe is needing some more bite from...
Congrats and great color! A buddy of mine picked one of these up last month. Love the matte finish ;b The lines on the MKV really pop with this LE color.
For peace of mind (on oil consumption), use Liqui Moly Special Tec V 0W-30. The manual states this weight can be used when 0-20 isn't...
A dealer could only void warranty on the exhaust (like your actuator valves for example) if it was modified. That's why a CBE can't affect your powertrain warranty. If they see you swapped the DP, that's a different story, as that can cause overboosting and that modification does require a...
I did this on my previous 2.0, no drone and just gave the car more sound at WOT and louder crackles (only cost me $45). A reputable muffler shop could also gut out the rear muffler too and close it back up for more volume, but I have not personally heard how that sounds.
I'd go with the res...
Ha! I keep hearing that, LOL. I had a year of fun with mine and it was proper fast, handled great and was just a joy to drive. Don't mind the people that haven't actually owned and modded the 2.0; I am not sure why some immediately dismiss it. If you don't need crazy power, the B48 has...
Sounds like the 2.0 is a perfect fit for your needs and goals. No tune needed for a catback exhaust or CAI. I do highly recommend the JB4 and Jesse's Pro tune though for even just a strong 93 Map. It's untraceable unlike a standard flash tune, so no worries on voiding the powertrain warranty...
Great B48 build! I had a ton of fun with mine ;b It's a solid platform and thrilling through the twisties. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses :headbang:
Thanks for the mention @zrk . The B48 is a pretty fantastic platform for those more interested in the twisties and track, than straight raw power. However, with the JB4, Jesse DaBears tune and a solid E30 map (which he absolutely nails), you can make it night and day from stock.

We had a blast last year working on the B48 platform (Supra 2.0: R R8TED Build) and are now jumping up to the 3.0 for some extra kick!
Just getting started, but it's already an incredibly fun ride with loads of potential. Here is what we have done so far, look forward to any recommendations...
Have something similar and also have the Rexpeed carbon fiber mirror plates. Zero wind buffeting of any kind, no matter what position both windows are in or at any speed.
