B58 - For those of a mechanical persuasion
Absolutely fascinating to watch - and he says this engine is 'simple'.

And then give them to Toyota who take them away and make them even better
Love the B58 and still miss it

Great vid - thanks for posting.
Plenty of strength in that engine, especially the closed deck block.

Haha. However, I think it's only software tuning that Toyota has modified. The engine and all hardware components are the same, iirc

If they have changed 300 components then it's no longer the same engine. |

On an individual level BMWs are more premium than Toyotas but Toyota is almost 3 times the size BMW. Premium means nothing when comparing companies as a whole

That's pretty epic. I do love a good tear down video. I must say, the Supra in black looks pretty nice too.

Very interesting video to watch, especially how they've coated the rod bearings to mitigate excessive wear from the start stop. I'd also be interested to see a tear down of the 'BMW' B58. If Toyota have changed over 300 it'd be interesting to see what they've changed to meet their standards over BMW. The N47 engine was notorious for its timing chain problem but generally BMWs engines have been bullet proof.
