Check out this video on the B58 in Supra and Z4/BMW and comparison to N55. Very informative!

thanks for sharing - very informative - I learned a thing or two - but I feel out of breath after watching that guy speak for 11+ mins

Thanks for posting that. Nice break down... dumbed down for me perfectly.

I found that transmission code as the Z8HP51... anyone know what's different than our Z8HP50?

the mk5 supra is a let down and isnt worthy of the badge. The video review was cool and the b58 is great but man that supra is gonna flop. Why spend that money on a toyota when you can just get a 2 series or a z4?

Cool vid. Thanks for sharing. I finally learned how a twin scroll turbo works!

Nice. Little disappointed with the new supra. I guess I have the best of both worlds. I have a mk IV supra and a B58 motor in other car.

C7 Corvette. Better performance, better sounding engine. 40-45k for a very slightly used one.
