The FB is considered the more "efficiency focused" of the new engine platform. Generally longer stroked and has a narrower valve angle than the FAs IIRC.
The GR86 will almost certainly get an FA vs an FB, (an FA24F prob). I would guess a 92x90 vs the FA24DITs 94x86. Presumably, still with some...
Welcome! I don't see too many of us around Chicagoland so I'm glad you joined the fray! If you ever see a beat-up A90 racecar that's 6 different colors, say hi!
The 2021 Supra uses the same EPS rack but with different software tuning and I personally felt that it was noticeably better on-center than the 2020 rack. So, tuners of the world, is this something that we could update with a flash tune? I know M3/M4 guys flash/code the GTS steering+diff+ESC...
Thanks guys! It might be a little bit before I do anything to the car as I am focusing on finishing up my MKIV Supra project right now, but I'll be sure to update here! I did hit 10k miles though, which is a cool little milestone! Need to get out of the warranty period as quickly as possible haha.
One man's ruined is another man's dream car! :p
I for one think that we should cut up all the things! Modding is the avenue for discovery and learning in the car world.
Agreed, mechanically it's reasonably straightforward. The real complication comes with coding the car to understand the swap. These cars are notoriously finicky when things are missing, I've run into a fair few issues during the rebuild process. I will continue looking into BMW forums to see how...
Alright, friends! This has always been a topic in the background of many discussions, but not one that has been really deep dived much. This is completely understandable because (as you'll see momentarily) an MT swap is a complicated and expensive ordeal, with a huge number of unknowns.
For...
Even if the radar wasn't there, opening it would not make for better cooling. Grilles on performance cars are strategically opened to catch air from high-pressure zones on the car's frontal area and expanding ducts are used behind them to efficiently pass air over heat-exchangers. Opening this...
