Great info.
Absolutely! I tried this but I think I still used regular LC from 2nd gear. I'll have to try again once it warms up some and disable TC fully on my next few attempts. Practicing this alongside some stickier tires should do the trick ;b Thanks for sharing!

Those might be the ticket, I'll definitely keep them in mind this Spring/Summer. 100% with you on the weight difference and feel. It's far easier to add additional power to this platform, then shed 250 lbs off of it.

I think you'll be fine with even 275s with quality tires IMO. These Firehawk's I have now perform brilliantly through the twisties, my only complaint is the traction now from a launch. It is so poised and agile though through the corners and an absolute riot to drive...I just love this car ;) JB4 leaves no trace either, so that's why I've went with this tuning solution on my last 3 rides. With Jesse providing a very strong and safe tune (both on 93 and E30), it's phenomenal overall!
Does anybody have a video of a JB4 install on a 2.0 Supra? Having a hard time trying to find the TPU cable.

I didn't record it, but there are quite a few videos online. Here is one I found pretty quickly on YouTube. Maybe this will help! -

Nice numbers with the Supra 2.0+JB4! The low weight helps it a lot too.
I'm interested in knowing some details about the E30 Protune map. I'm guessing that is the custom map from DaBears? Is it like a custom map 6 in the JB4 or a different firmware or something that you get that you flash onto the JB4 (something like the firmware updates BMS pushes out using their app)? Sorry if it sounds noob-ish. I also understand if you'd rather not say. Just really curious since I have a car with the same engine (not a Supra though) and JB4 and would love to get some more out of it :D

Custom mapping. Let me know if you have any questions :)

You got it! MAP 6 is just for custom maps. I have one saved for 93 octane that we worked on extensively for a week or more. After the Fuel-It kit, we then began working on the E30 tune. Jesse is incredibly talented and versed on this platform. Everything is just perfect and the power just never drops off anymore and pulls strong throughout the entire powerband. The top end is especially impressive over the OEM or OTS tune. These motors respond really well with the JB4, especially with Jesse's handiwork on the B48 and B58.

Having a little fun on some mountain backroads! I have driven on these since I first got my license and very first sports car (350z). They never fail to make me smile and the Supra performs beautifully ;b
