The piggy back will still void warranty if anything breaks. They just plug in the ecu reader and it’ll show it was making more boost and timing to factor and boom warranty gone
Unichip has never gone away and is very popular in Asia especially diesel tuning but it's common in Australia..my WRX had bolt ons and Unichip and was superb..I guess it depends a lot on your tuner
Using wider tyres on the OEM wheels is not a good idea. The tyre shoulder may not get enough support from the inner metal wheel, thus less grip than what it is designed to be. And the tyre wear will be uneven across the surface. Better to get wider wheels or just stick with OEM tyre width. From what I have seen in the past, even just 1 size wider wheel with the same width tyre may get better corner speed because of extra shoulder support during cornering
When you do the clutch in the next episode can you please include details and a link so I can get one for my 23 mt getting parts for this car is getting very annoying in Australia especially motor sports parts
The car is done nice except for the wheel spacers. They make it look good but they can be dangerous as you are shortening the length of the thread on the studs, maybe they are recessed to get around this?
Stock wheels (9J + 10J) are too narrow for a 275/295 setup, you will get much better results on stock sizes RE71RS. One 23 Supra 6MT did a 1:42.5 at SMSP on RE71RS, stock power and no aero, just lowered springs and pads, fluids.
Andrew, your the only person i trust given your experience. What are your thoughts on wheel spacers? Are they good for street and track use or better without please. Also where is exhaust from ?
@@MotiveVideoso just get it unlocked by Femto like the rest of us manual Supra owners and then literally do what the rest of us manual owners are doing and then tune with BM3 or MHD. It’s already been known from the community that piggybacks + manual haven’t been having stellar results. Also the choice for a 295/30 in back is stupid. Shorter tire, more wheel gap. I’m running a 305/35 in back and per GPS is 100% dead accurate at 85mph. As in, improved accuracy. Meanwhile your Speedo is way off with those undersized tires. Some seriously bad choices already going into this build. Don’t understand why you aren’t doing a catted 400 cell GESI downpipe, plenty available and plenty compliant. I feel you guys have done zero research in doing anything right here. For the price of the titanium catback that did nothing and the piggyback that is 100% going to give you overboosting between shifts, you’d have been able to get a catted downpipe and 3.5” catback which both combined would have given you solid gains even untuned. Especially if the shop took ten minutes and a welder to remove the factory connection neck down for a 3.5” connection. Then you’d have been able to use that leftover money not spent on the exhaust choice and the piggyback to send the ECU to Finland for unlock. Turn-around is only a week. Then you’d be ready for a real tune and real power. It’s a shame people are going to watch this video and get the wrong impression and follow a poorly executed build path because no research or game plan was laid out.
Dude that race chips is trash. Have tried two. On on 6 port head 2020 bmw m340i and it lost power. Went from 11.71 in the quarter to 12.4 back to back test, same day same strip. Tried another on a friends vw. It felt slower. We both end up doing returns.
@@tturi2 OEM fitted spacers are legal. Anything else (like the ones in this vid) are not. It sucks but unfortunately if you want better fitment without giving your insurance company a reason to void your claims, you have to get new wheels. Even then, there are strict rules on how much wider the new wheels they can be.
This was such a unique car as a prototype. And then they shit this out... Not BMW not Toyota... It's like g35 skyline))) but that was Nissan made... Not BMyota.
There is a solution, these guys are just morons and tossed a piggyback on it, when the community already has known for a while now that piggybacks don’t do well on the manuals and that the solution is FEMTO unlocking the ECU so it can be tuned.
@@MotiveVideowrong. You can tune the manual Supra, you just didn’t do a lick of research and didn’t come in at all with a game plan and now have fucked this build right from the start with no downpipe, undersized rear tires and throwing a piggyback on the car instead of following the path as the rest of the actual manual Supra owners and having the ECU unlocked and then tuning it.
i reckon it'll sound better with a mk 4 supra muffler with custom piping. you could go with carbon propeller shaft & lighter brakes too for better response.
@@flamintasty clearly you've never heard how a mk5 supra sounds like with a mk4 muffler + custom piping on youtube, just like how all the people hate on the mk5 initially when it was 1st announced. enlighten me, how is installing both a carbon propeller shaft & lighter brakes not improving response?
@@wezkerlim so you’re saying a stock mk4 muffler Which is minimum 22 years old and almost silent would sound better on the A90 than this titanium catback?
@@tturi2 if something is reasonably successful or effective, there is no need to change or replace it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It made the supra a iconic powerhouse and used in applications that chops the most modern of cars today and it's actually made and designed by 'Toyota'
@@azzamatic4190 if you put a big turbo on a mini engine it'll still make lots of power, a nitro RC engine makes similar hp/L to an F1 car, 610hp per litre, no 2jz is touching that
Really tasteful mods to the Supra. Love it!
You gotta do the ECU unlock please
100% adding the extra mods to piggy back chip is useless
Look up drift works b58 down pipe he made a custom one and made it as a production piece and sounds killer 👌
Those BM stainless factory exhausts are made really nice.
Two extra catalytic converters i believe (cat 3 and 4) compared to the replacement.
Had those Zestinos on our car it aquaplaned in moderate rain on the highway just cruising and we ended up in the nature strip. Never again lol

looking really cool, loving the subtle carbon touches
Oh yea bro is having fun with this project!🔥❤️

Looking forward to the Z grudge match!
Starts to make the 400z seem a lot easier to get more power out of
Never thought I’d see piggy backs making a come back….. 🤦♂️ I hate them due to their effects on ignition maps
Or reprting a false low torque figure back to the auto trans. (This case its a manual car)
Great video, nice work!
Car looks awesome 💪😎
Definitely a good build, I'm enjoying it. I'm glad that y'all doing it, I'm not seeing anyone else here in the States upgrading a manual mkV Supra.
Any ideas when the BMW compatible Uniclutches will actually be available? I don't even see a fitment for the BMW Supra ?!?
nice video ! 100👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

There is no blanket rule. Some factory wheels have no problem going 20-30mm bigger, some don't. it is fine on this car.
❤
Which exhaust system is that? And does the 2nd valve still get controlled using the sport button?
When you do the clutch in the next episode can you please include details and a link so I can get one for my 23 mt getting parts for this car is getting very annoying in Australia especially motor sports parts
Andrew, did you get any rubbing issues using those sized spacers on the stock height? 15mm front and 18mm rear.
Nope. All good, even at the track
Even with the wider tyres.. Awesome. Thanks mate!
Was there much weight saving from the exhaust or is the stock system relatively light?
I think the cars exhaust just needs to be a bit easier to hear and I'll be perfect for me as standard
The car is done nice except for the wheel spacers. They make it look good but they can be dangerous as you are shortening the length of the thread on the studs, maybe they are recessed to get around this?
They cone with longer bolts
supea doesn’t use studs
@@MotiveVideo in that case it's the bees knees
Does uni make a clutch for c7 z06 corvette? And can i get uni parts in the us

Bro. Wheel spacers are illegal in NSW.
Not an issue, they are used on racetracks every weekend. My car even had them from the factory.
@@Gregsheppo66 so is every other mod
@@garagecedric good to know, I see plenty of people install just not sure how they go
@@aaaaadkfidhekrkgije
No, just the wheel spacers are illegal. Look it up.
Does uniclutch make a clutch for r32 gtr? I don’t see it on their site.
Your hair is totally wild
Pardon my ignorance, but why did you not just replace the factory ECU? Was it cost/compatability/workload?
Cheers
Because no one makes a plug in ECU yet.

Truly believe Toyota missed the mark on the new supra due to the lack of tunability
Andrew, please go up a shirt size bro. Those sleeves are doing my head in.
hahahaahahahaha
Lookout it’s the fashion police
it's hot in Australia
If someone can afford a new supra they can afford a motec plugin.
I am surprised that a piggyback tuner is still a thing in 2024.
are spacers legal in aussie?
Nope😢
if it's minor, mercedes and porsche use oem spacers

Needs NOS!
I love the car. It turned out great. But aren’t wheel spacers illegal?
So is the exhaust, the race chip, the added carbon bits etc
What's your point?
Swap in an auto 👍 it'll be alot faster
This was such a unique car as a prototype. And then they shit this out... Not BMW not Toyota...
It's like g35 skyline))) but that was Nissan made...
Not BMyota.
Not Toyota
Not BMW
Better than both.
What an awesome car.

racechip is the worst gimmick you can buy, nothing will beat a proper ecu tune like mhd, botmod3 or ecutek

First
Toyota would have made a ton of a lot more sales if they just brought back the 2JZ
We don’t agree. It’s not the engine limiting sales. It’s the bmw stigma some have
