I can see a hotter version being a GT4 and Emira competitor, but I'd imagine they have to price it lower than the V6 Emira b/c of those cars' mid engine setup advantage.
An in-house inline 6 sounds like nothing more than a rumor, from my perspective. I can't see Toyota designing an inline 6 from scratch in just 2 years while maintaining their threshold of reliability. That's not to mention that there's no factory line that's set up to build an inline 6, so...
It's all fun and games until someone pulls this shit at a station where doing this blocks ingress and egress or stops other people from using the pumps, like the 76 station on Denny Way right next to the Space Needle.
I've got an MST intake on, but with that heat shield + Verus heat shield + gold tape, I've noticed the IAT that the JB4 app was reading to drop from 150-160 down to 90-110. I think ambient temperatures were high 70s - low 80s when I remember seeing the pre-heat shield IATs and high 60s - mid 70s...
I vaguely remember the previous gen Z06 or ZR1 getting complaints from "purists" for the supercharger they used (purist in car culture ticks me off; they love saying "this car sucks because its not like how they made it in my day" and ignore so many other details of how stuff has impoved). Safe...
My guess is it will be priced a shade under the Cayman GT4. I wouldn't be surprised if prices for C8 end up following the R35, from relatively affordable MSRP to 6 figures in the middle of the run.
It seems brilliant from the trailer.
Used some pliers to try and get a better fitment. Still kinda crap b/c some of the corners don't match the original lid, but it was enough to be able to get it installed. I'll grab some pics tomorrow since the one I took today is potato quality.
Not to mention quite scenic and fun driving roads -- Cascade Mts to the east, Olympic Mts and the Pacific coast to the west, and fairly open and flat land with a canyon in central WA. Washington is quite blessed with a lot of diverse landscapes so you're spoiled for choice on what sort of...
Technically, yes, those mods can void your warranty. But I doubt you're swapping your intake and charge pipe every time you take it in.
Realistically speaking, you'll have to go and talk to your dealer to figure out their policy. The place I bought mine did the recall while I had an AA downpipe...
I also noticed a better exhaust note with just the AA catted DP, and way more gunshot pops in manual when downshifting. They were also a good amount louder than OEM.
Yeah, I definitely agree; for big gains, gotta get better airflow.
I did have the JB4 on for a little while before my DP came in, and map 2 did feel like the car accelerated harder. Unfortunately, I don't have numbers to go with the butt dyno.
JB4 --> power
exhaust --> sound (some will claim HP bumps, but the primary focus is sound)
downpipe --> a bit of both.
The JB4 is also definitely the easiest of the 3 to install and remove if necessary.
About 30 or so between Everett and Tacoma who've come to meets, plenty of which are modded -- you'd be lucky to meet someone whose Supra is still bone stock. Washington doesn't require inspections, so you don't have to worry about emissions testing or having tunes being deemed illegal like...
Pre-loaded Forza Horizon 5 to enjoy a virtual Mk5 Supra while the real one gets little usage during the winter months.
Hopefully, I'll see some of you guys mobbing all sorts of Mk5s in game.
