SupraMKV2.0 Build Thread

[SupraMKV2.0]

It’s odd to say this, but the weather is actually kinda decent here in Wisconsin. I was finally able to throw on the new 19” Apex SM10 wheels.

Got around to installing the new Rexspeed steering wheel with black aluminum paddle shifters. A little bit of a whore of an install but worth it over the OEM wheel.

What was the worst part of the install?

Install is like a 1 out of 5 easy. The only "physically" hard part is removing and retorque the bolt.

Correct.

- Removing the air bag cartridge without destroying the OEM wheel's perforated holes.
- Breaking the bolt free that holds the wheel to the column.

Everything else is pretty straight forward in regard to disassembly and reassembly...Take your time.

On my last car I used a torque wrench. Makes it a lot easier.

Yeah I had breaker bars and torque wrench to get it done. Fully clocking the wheel left and right is a workout.

My 2.0 Supra is just turning 15K miles, so I ordered up some maintenance items for a little weekend project. I'll also be working with Jesse to dial in a custom JB4 tune and that should pretty much wrap up this "build." My goal with this car was just to make it a little more track friendly and extract just a few more ponies.

It's never been about extracting the most HP, but something my wife and I could have some fun track-days in and not be too worried if something gets effed up on it. So far so good and we're enjoying the car.

Installed the FTP charge pipe yesterday afternoon. The car does feel like it gained better throttle response with this mod, but not sure if it’s just a placebo affect. I’ll be swapping out the OEM coil packs with the new Dinan versions today.

Loving the build so far, Looks like a very HPDE friendly/ autocross/ track day car. I tried tracking my car and even on 93 in low boost it just goes sideways every chance it gets, Car is def overpowered for my skill level.

Installed the Dinan B48/B58 Coilpacks. Idle and acceleration do seem a bit smoother.

Quick FYI; when installing these, do not pull the Coilpack out from the top plug portion. Pull up slightly and then grab at the base of the boot and pull. This will prevent the coil from separating from rubber boot.

Didn't know you can upgrade coil packs. What is the purpose?

Supposedly they produce a 10% increase in energy over OEM. APR and Dinan have offered upgraded coil packs for Audi / BMW for years.

Loving the build, man. I plan on doing a lot of the same things to my white 2.0 as soon as the warranty expires. Interested that you upgraded to 19s. Can you tell a difference in speedo readings?

 

[SupraMKV2.0]

Thanks.

You enter the wheel spec information into the I-Drive so it can calculate accurate speedo and tire inflation.
