That trimmed belly piece on the front bumper sagging like that is going to act as a huge scoop pouring air into the engine bay, rather then diverting it under the car. You should really fab up an aluminum frame to support that leading edge and seal it to the IC with some automotive foam tape. Also, make sure you have those drums of fuel grounded.
More likely it will provide an easy path for air to flow around the IC and radiator instead of flowing through them and doing the proper cooling work. (they'll still work just not as well) In other words - I am betting air will flow out that under-tray hole not in.
@@edmcguirk8603 the air will flow into the gap between that sagging trim and the bottom of the IC and across the top of the under tray. The air will not reverse course and flow towards the front of the car as you suggest. I do agree that the IC has a higher likelihood of performing worse in this scenario.
@@jlehm The way I see it, the under-tray hole is partially protected by the front lip. The air flowing through the grill piles up in front of the IC and drops down through the hole in the under-tray into the low pressure under the car. Bypassing the IC and radiator. If that flow catches the under-tray and balloons it downwards, sure, that's very bad.
That Supra looks so nice! All the little subtle choices you've made along the way have added up perfectly and it looks grand! Gonna have to do something really special with the GT-R for it to compete!
I can fully understand the switch back to the softer transmission mount. I installed a Powerflexx transmission mount bushing into my 86 a couple of years ago and the car rattled so hard inside, that the breaking LED-bar behind the rear glass became loose. I drove maybe for 10 km, and changed it back immediately.
The gearbox mount gets ''softer'' after a little while, one of my favorites are poly bushings that are ''drilled'' to absorb vibrations but not lose the precision...
Hell YEAH!!!! So pumped right now. For the hood insulation I would still look for something to protect the frame, maybe check with DEI what they propose as viable option cuz that turbo setup will definitivelly heat things up a lot. Think that the original twin setup has a ton of covers and still heats the hell up the hood even with the horrible OEM foam.
You guys likely know this, but if you don't put some sort of tube retainer or zip tie on the vacuum hoses to the boost controller they can leak and/or pop off. My 996 turbo is notorious for this, so we zip tied every single connection to prevent the issue in cold weather or higher boost applications. Beautiful build!
Just finished bingeing the Evo 6 series and saw this came out, so much for getting anything done this morning. ;) I hope your tuner is better this time.
Love it guys, looks awesome. The only OCD tweak I'm getting is the cam cover, would be great for that to be black as well (or body color), but not a big deal. Great work.
Super clean! Supra turned out amazing guys! XS Power does have a huge following in the audio world as well. Ive seen people throw 20 batteries in one vehicle lol
Love your videos! Watched every one since I subbed at 50k! Really loving this build, both these cars are so special!!! That being said, you gotta find a way to connect the front lip to the stock plastic diffuser. That big gap is gonna let air pass around the intercooler instead of forcing it through. I mean its not like the car is gonna overheat or anything, its just not optimal.
@ivebeen even 90% of people claiming to be car guys, won't even understand the proper electrical current for anything performance added on a stock vehicle.
From someone that went from aftermarket fibreglass to OEM front bumper with TRD style lip on their Supra - if you are running no undertray, or in your case a cut one, you will want to reinforce the lower edge with a strip of metal for rigidity. Without this I found my whole bumper and front lip bowed in at high speed which unfortunately deformed it to the point that it wouldn’t bend back I used a strip of curved aluminium riveted to the bottom inside edge of the lip and now have full SRD aluminium undertrays at the front, which has greatly improved the rigidity and fitment of the front bumper
I love what you guys did with the under hood insulation. It's honestly the right call, I've personally seen turbo cars catch on fire before where the gross old hood insulation has touched the turbo.
You guys deserve substantially more views than you currently get because your work is top notch - the builds, craftsmanship, camera work, edits, etc. I don’t know your guy’s come up story, but with all the specialty tools, high-quality production and especially how you present dialogue makes your videos seem inauthentic or like you’re just a couple of guys who were hired by a huge company to make videos on their behalf
That supra looks nice and typically im actually not a huge fan of the look of a mk4 but this reignites that flame for me however i have to say its team gtr all the way. They’re complicated to get right but when they are, they’re just amazing.
I've a TRD transmission mount on my JZZ30 Soarer (which has a V160) - Alot of people I know have switched back to stock as they say the TRD one is too firm. Either way, I'm happy with mine. Your Supra is looking great btw!
Please make the next video of the dyno as comprehensive as possible.Would really like to see what will happen with all of these housings. Tnx guys. Greetings from Greece.
I have lithium batteries on my motorcycles and was just thinking about this yesterday when was removing the very heavy AGM battery out of our Mk8 GTI. Changing it out is something I'd like to do in the future. That Supra came out amazing.
Hey! The hood heat insulation is a very cool idea! Looks good +5 hp 😃, is effective (paint protection from heat) +5hp! What would really complete the look would be doing the rest of the hood (not just on top of turbo) if not all, then definetly alongated part of to the left of turbo. Cool stuf guys!
Definitely made the right choice going with the OEM look and not the body kit. Great looking car and great job Dave and Pete. Looking forward to a drive and a dyno test.
What an absolutely stunning build. Love this car, looks perfect! Are you not worried that the under tray is going to catch the wind and with it trimmed pull itself off since it no longer has any bolts up front in the center section? Dyno is going to be awesome!!
The JDM content is really nice. Legend cars and your refinement are second to none. But I really miss your tracktests. K20 miata, civics etc i really loved the comperances and tests. Hope to see more tracktest in the future.
When using a smaller turbo for response you need to ensure you have a big waste gate to keep the turbo from choking the engine or over speeding the turbine.
You may also want to swap the exhaust housings about on the road as the dyno may not give you all transient response info compared to actually driving them.
doing those bigger turboes you really would want to have twin scroll and cams and a big flowing header, but will be great to see what the difference is on your setup...
Really curious about the dyno test results for the different turbo configs, I've been considering swapping to the G30-770 myself so that's perfect!! (granted, any modern turbo is going to be better than the old T78 on the GT-R now)
Great build. Take what works and make it better. A true legend made relevant again. Once the weather improves, I'm looking forward to seeing how it runs. It's gotta be a monster.
lithium has a lot of advantages but they're a lot more sensitive to heat. im kinda worried the battery wont lasts as long as it should be when they're fitted on the engine compartment
Its amazing how well the styling of the supra has held up almost 2 decades later. It almost looks like something you could buy today. You guys might be able to retire from the crazy money you're going to get when you sell this one, lol
When you run big power factory soft transmission mounts equals box moving under big power which tends to throw the shifter mechanism out which can effect shift accuracy and or shorter synchro life given you may not be completely engaged in gear. What you give up in NVH you gain in accuracy. Hence road car average power stay stock.
But the v160 shifter is a tripod style so shifter slop isnt affected by it. All it would do is reduce the movement of the entire setup. Its certainly not as pronounced as on BMWs or Subarus.
I saw the xs power website they mentioned temperature above 140 degrees may damage the battery and the car not sure if they talking about 140degree Fahrenheit then its 60 degree C that means engine bay isn’t a good place for it! Maybe you guys can check with them Edit: their instruction says 140degree F and they recommend having plan for possible fire at all time
Wish y’all showed how you slapped the vinyl on the battery. Maybe could do a TH-cam short next time. Car is beautiful have really enjoyed the build y’all have done

@@edmcguirk8603 we’re not totally in agreement nor disagreement then. 👍👍
Surprised no one argued with the barrels of HAZMAT being grounded. Every large shop ought have a ground post for that reason.
That Supra looks so nice! All the little subtle choices you've made along the way have added up perfectly and it looks grand! Gonna have to do something really special with the GT-R for it to compete!
absolutely beautiful, must feel good to wrap this build up. great job gentleman

I'd get something newer & in good shape from a breakers yard & trim it to fit.
Those big XS power batteries do wonders for big car audio systems. I think they are basically the go to brand in that world.
100%, I them breaking into the light weight battery game is going to start being the same way.
You guys likely know this, but if you don't put some sort of tube retainer or zip tie on the vacuum hoses to the boost controller they can leak and/or pop off.

Love it guys, looks awesome. The only OCD tweak I'm getting is the cam cover, would be great for that to be black as well (or body color), but not a big deal. Great work.
This ended up being one of my most favorite series on youtube.Cant believe it.So exicted for the future.
Super clean! Supra turned out amazing guys! XS Power does have a huge following in the audio world as well. Ive seen people throw 20 batteries in one vehicle lol
You guys have a amazing set of cars. Would love to see more about that Porsche in the background.
I have used xs batteries in my cars for audio systems. Was able to go smaller than the normal size with 2-3 times the power.
Love your videos! Watched every one since I subbed at 50k! Really loving this build, both these cars are so special!!!
That being said, you gotta find a way to connect the front lip to the stock plastic diffuser. That big gap is gonna let air pass around the intercooler instead of forcing it through. I mean its not like the car is gonna overheat or anything, its just not optimal.
Love the batteries, interesting to find out what on earth would need that much power 🤔
Loved them til i saw the price.. holy hell
Got 6 12" subs on a 14k in the back yo.
@ivebeen It's really nice for most car audio applications.
@ivebeen even 90% of people claiming to be car guys, won't even understand the proper electrical current for anything performance added on a stock vehicle.
I am loving this car, the colour of wheels, the lip kit, the interior all come together.

Did anyone one else count Dave's fingers at the beginning just incase? Haha awesome build guys!
Looking forward to it guys! love to see these two wrapped up and awaiting the melt! Im right there with ya, waiting for snow and salt to leave!
When I think Supra, this is what I see in my head. Such a clean OEM+ look. Beauty build guys!
I love what you guys did with the under hood insulation. It's honestly the right call, I've personally seen turbo cars catch on fire before where the gross old hood insulation has touched the turbo.

OEM+ should be a trend. Awsome build
Car looks amazing, love the exhaust setup
XS Power batteries are very popular when it comes to massive car sound system builds. Great option for the supra👌🏻
Please make the next video of the dyno as comprehensive as possible.Would really like to see what will happen with all of these housings. Tnx guys. Greetings from Greece.
true stunner you guys have built! great work boys
I have lithium batteries on my motorcycles and was just thinking about this yesterday when was removing the very heavy AGM battery out of our Mk8 GTI. Changing it out is something I'd like to do in the future. That Supra came out amazing.
Congrats on finishing the build, its awesome. Excited to see the next dyno episodes and the culmination of this series.
Great choice with the DEI heat shield! The car looks amazing!!!
Beautiful Supra. I stick with conventional batteries. Although lighter, lithium vehicle batteries have too many dangers and drawbacks.
Looking perfect! Would’ve loved a ceremonial start up but great job!!
Looks really good ! But, I am nitpicking now, it could use some center caps for the wheels. That would finish it off for me
17:25 that plastic under IC will not flap at higher speeds? Is it stiff enough? Or there will be no high speed wind near that plastic?
Hay DP and PT you guys rock! such an awesome journey those builds with you. TO the PETRIONNNNN. Really thank you guys!
Guys...each time you leave me mesmerized with the results of your cars...my good afternoon from Greece...
Beautiful job, under the hood and everywhere else! Can't wait to see it tested in anger!
Final execution and finished Supra looks great!!!
Look forward to seeing your turbo testing, car turned out incredible
Wow! Second favorite car you guys have built in my opinion. The 964 just holds a special place in my heart.
Supra looks so dam good. Don't see that many red ones but I sure do like them 🤙👍
Thumbs up to Pete for not once talking smack about the Supra.
Can't say the same about the other guy.
DewlaDesigns makes an aftermarket metal splash shield and under tray that replaces all the plastic pieces. Have them on my supra and love them.
great idea on the reflective foil. looks proper.
Car looks so good 👌🏻
Wheels, brakes the exhaust all look damn nice 😍
Hey! The hood heat insulation is a very cool idea! Looks good +5 hp 😃, is effective (paint protection from heat) +5hp!

Very clean build, well done guys
Awesome build guys! Very excited for the dyno videos
You need to cut ALL the pieces for under the hood with the underlying crisscross pattern running in the same direction.
Definitely made the right choice going with the OEM look and not the body kit. Great looking car and great job Dave and Pete. Looking forward to a drive and a dyno test.
This is perfection, don't ever sell this.
What an absolutely stunning build. Love this car, looks perfect!
Are you not worried that the under tray is going to catch the wind and with it trimmed pull itself off since it no longer has any bolts up front in the center section?
Dyno is going to be awesome!!
The JDM content is really nice. Legend cars and your refinement are second to none. But I really miss your tracktests. K20 miata, civics etc i really loved the comperances and tests. Hope to see more tracktest in the future.
A possible mistake cutting up that under tray.
I would have tried reshaping it with a heat gun first and only cut it if that didn't work.
When using a smaller turbo for response you need to ensure you have a big waste gate to keep the turbo from choking the engine or over speeding the turbine.
Loved the montage when setting up the boost controller
I found that race gas burns softer, so the engines last longer. rental service thing
looking forward to the turbo and fuel testing!
I love that y'all are going to dyno test all the different turbo setups!!! Can't wait to see
Bunch of people have removed the OEM hood heatshield. No issues with the paint even with bigger single turbo.
You may also want to swap the exhaust housings about on the road as the dyno may not give you all transient response info compared to actually driving them.
doing those bigger turboes you really would want to have twin scroll and cams and a big flowing header, but will be great to see what the difference is on your setup...

LOVE THE WHEEL SETUP
Man she looks good!! OEM+ is the best way to shots imo👌🏼
Hopefully that undertray doesn’t flap once to get up to speed😬
Never been a supra guy but damn I would love this one. Can’t wait to see the numbers from the different turbo housings and fuels on the dyno
What a beautiful Supra. Just love that OEM plus look.
Sucks the weather is bad up there... Here in Cali we haven't had rain since December and its been 60-75F in Jan and Feb.
Great build. Take what works and make it better. A true legend made relevant again. Once the weather improves, I'm looking forward to seeing how it runs. It's gotta be a monster.
This supra is looking great guys. Really. It's so clean and simple. Love it.... So... When do we get back to Connie? Our first love and rush
Great job fellas! Love the simpler, subtle look. 👌👌👌
lithium has a lot of advantages but they're a lot more sensitive to heat. im kinda worried the battery wont lasts as long as it should be when they're fitted on the engine compartment
They will just stop working near freezing. BTDT.
Love love love the CE28N's. Perfect wheel choice and in bronze too.
This car is so well done id drive it every day and never sell it.
Such a great job on such an amazing car!
well done. looks very good. love this build guys!
U did great job on this supra.. cant wait too see this diamond on dyno n track
An e85 tuned response set up with the timing you can throw at it would make for an insane ride
So beautiful !! Love watching the progress
Those StopTech calipers are gorgeous, great choice.
Eager to see what's in store for the R34 to up it's decel game.
Really enjoyed the chill music during this video
Central Florida, home of the endless summer, is calling Speed Academy! Hellooooooo💪
oh man im very excited for the supra dyno day . the car has com a long way and turned out absolutely amazing .
You should do the whole underside of the hood like that. Looks good
Amazing build, great job!!
This thing is perfection! Well done gents!
Great work, it looks absolutely beautiful.
Holy shit all those turbos to be tested will be the best episode ever. Also the supra looks amazing takes me back to 1998.

I think you guys would enjoy the Kein transmission mount also
For e85 fuel hit up ignite red e90
All the Florida and CT guys use it. The 10% is race fuel. Its dam good e85 xD
im really curious about the G30. it seems way too small for a 3.0 liter engine, specially a JZ that you can rev out pretty high.
