  • A Toyota Master diagnostic technician and Supra Specialists New Toyota Supra Technical review and common problems.
    In this video I go over a technical review of the new controversial GR Supra. Is it a BMW? Is it a Toyota? What is what?
    Well I work on these cars exclusively at the Toyota dealership that I work on full time and this is my take on the cool technical features the engine, Transmission and Differential have.
    I will also share some insider items on the supra for owners like how DIY friendly is the new supra and some information on the Toyota ISTA software which is the official scanner for the new Toyota supra.
    I will cover some of the common problems I see with the Supra like the dying battery and the replace battery message. Also the leaking transmissions and the newest trending issue with oil burning on the new Toyota supra B58 Engine.
    At the very end of the video I will share some information on how much of this car is actually Toyota. If you find more parts that say the words Toyota on the car please leave a common with the part so I can add it to my list. Thank you!!

    You’re gonna love doing injectors, intakes, and tank vent valves!
    At the end of my shift I’ll update this again on everything I’ve seen from the B58 setup. Also are you in IL?
    Update, so the B58 overall is one of our most leak proof engines when talking about oil. The only oil leak that I have ever done was the oil pan gasket, but they’re pretty rare, and the sealant is so strong it feels like the oil pan is nearly welded to the block. For check engine lights, if the car is equipped with active radiator flaps that’s what is the most common 9 times out of 10 (needing new software, or parts replacement). Another very common issue for the check engine light is the fuel tank vent valve being stuck open causing mixture faults. For the AC, on most New BMWs that “condenser” can cause a lot of concerns for AC not blowing cold. More often than not the issue is because the Low temp coolant circuit is low and needs to be topped off. Recently we have seen a 1 off car where the AC heat exchanger was leaking refrigerant into the coolant circuit which was neat. The intake manifold in rare cases can leak coolant into the combustion chamber, and if the leak is massive can cause hydrolock (never seen that, but possible). This is more common with the S55 where the intercooler is not internal to the manifold though. Overall though the only issues that really happens again is either radiator flaps, or a tank vent valve. The B58 is pretty bullet proof. Supposedly it’s a modified Diesel engine in Europe. The only things changed was the compression ratio, and spark plug holes that I know of. Love the videos!

      Are you a BMW mechanic? I am considering buying a Supra and drive it until combustion engines are banned in UK. So, would you say that B58, when I drive with care is a good choice in terms of longevity?
      Is there any video or articles that you can recommend about what to do and what not do driving a B58 engine.

      "The intake manifold in rare cases can leak coolant into the combustion chamber, and if the leak is massive can cause hydrolock (never seen that, but possible)." Nope, don't care how rare or remote the possibility. Any history of coolant leaks is a hard pass. Doubly so if the engine in question is over engineered.

    Thanks for the instructive video. I drive almost 38 years BMW's and like to inform two things:
    1. If you replace the battery, always connect a backup battery or battery charger to the circuit before disconecting until replacement is complete. Otherwise you have a big chance that you need to reprogramming the complete Ecu.(€!)
    2. BMW always says the ZF automatic transmission has a lifetime oil and don't need any maintenance. Even most BMW garages don't have the knowledge how to flush it. The ZF factory in Germany recommend a flush + filter replacement every 80-100K km (this is officially published). I always do it by a official ZF cervice center (price all incl. 980€)
    This different mind-set I never understand from BMW!

      Well said about oil change. For some people life of a car can be 20, 40K miles but for me, I would like to drive the car as much as I can (As I can't afford a Supra every second year :)
      Hence, I believe that sales trick "sealed for life" is a bit misleading. Not all of us wants to change their car after 60K miles.

Toyota will want to adapt from BMW !! in the end thank you for the informative materials you always provide for us . grate work as usual 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

When it comes to transmission fluid I would change it every 50k or so you can get the whole transition kit from fco euro or esc tuning websites. When it comes to new battery I used a bimmerlink app with a OBDII reader to program it.

    Coming from an E86 Z4 Coupe this finally is a worthy successor. I'd even think long and hard about getting it with the ZF automatic. If anybody is on the fence - go check out the current M3/4/5 and see that it is just the best automatic ever. I stumbled over this channel by accident - boy are you good! A very different and fresh view on a car!
    The reason for the deal is kind of interesting - these kinds of cars, Coupe even more than the convertible, are really not big sellers. BMW didn't really want to do a new Z4 and Toyota didn't really want to build a new Supra. Who came forward and initiated the talks i don't know, but BMW in the end said "Well, we'll completely build your Supra onto our Z4 base IF we get a good look at the Mirai internals because our Hydrogen7 project stalled so badly". Here we are - Toyota got a really nice Supra without the horrible development costs and BMW gets its first full Hydrogen car (iX5) with the Mirai tech.

      Well, sealed for life is one of the least descriptive things I have heard. When it is said life, I'd expect manufacturers to say what do they mean by "life." Is it 60K miles? or is it 10 years?
      I have heard same for DSG, and a DSG mechanic approves this. And he also adds, "still, change the oil after 60K miles or 6 years, so you can extend lifespan of your gearbox." As he works in Istanbul where city traffic is heavy, a lot of people are having fatal error in their DSG's around 80K miles, which could be avoided by gearbox servicing.
      I would really wish that manufacturers would give some intervals for people who wants to drive their car for many long miles.

    I’m a semi truck repair tech and the amount of similar technology between this engine and the trucks I work on every day is insane. I love high pressure common rail design of the injector, incredibly efficient and should be used on all cars eventually. Air to water cooler is the same as a EGR cooler which don’t leak as often as you may think, when they do they very rarely lock up an engine or dump excess coolant in intake circuit. Very very interesting, bmw is onto something here with this engine specifically.

    Aside from those 3-4 inconveniences this car is a 10/10 amazing experience. Dont cheap out and get your warranties especially since it’s a bmw. Baby it but also let it rip whenever you want(after oil is at proper temp) with confidence (bc you baby it). I love mine, I just picked it up 3 days ago with 3 miles on it. 3.0 premium. If you can, pick the cooled seats in Alcantara. Get all the features if possible because it really gives you more than a sports car feel. The simple luxury details really make for a super cozy experience.
    A lot to learn especially since it is bmw world if you’re not used to it but as you can see, a lot of this stuff is better handled with the dealership so let them do their thing.

It took me a long time to get used to that, and quite frankly, prefer a dipstick over a computerized sensor that can fail. One can only hope that Toyota will actually design, develop, then build a JDM Supra again. In the meantime, the new BMW Supra looks great aesthetically, but a nightmare for us backyard mechanics.

    Liked and subscribed! 🎉 I totally and completely understand why Toyota chose this route for the Supra. It really is a niche market, probably taking up less than 2% of Toyota's annual income. Toyota was able to make the Yaris GR by themselves, because to other regions, it was just another version of the plain old Yaris, albeit a very punchy one. The US-market Yaris is actually just a rebadged Mazda 2. If Toyota wanted the US to have the Yaris GR, then they would have to sever their partnership with Mazda, which they won't. There are also rumors of Toyota and Mazda co-developing an RWD inline 6 platform, which I could definitely see the A100 Supra riding on. Toyota's strategy is that if the car they want to make doesn't fit into their existing TGNA platforms, then they will seek partnership with another brand. And it's a very smart one too.
    I'm pretty sure this plan is working out well. I mean, just look at the new Corolla, Camry, Sienna, and a whole bunch of other Toyota vehicles! They are still solid and durable vehicles, with that signature Toyota reliability baked into them. Some of them are even luxurious!

    • @rightlanehog3151
      @rightlanehog3151 3 роки тому +1

      FYI, The Mazda Yaris is no longer sold. Toyota simply made a massive PR blunder when they insulted their most profitable market with their refusal to offer us the GR Yaris. It is the best affordable performance car they have made in a generation. As Toyota's best customers, we should be first in line to get them not left behind casting envious glances towards secondary markets like Europe and Australia. Honda, Hyundai and VW can all make a business case to offer their best hot hatches in North America, why shouldn't Toyota?
