Tuning Overview for the MKV Supra
Oct 1st 2022
What You Need to Know About Tuning Your Supra
The MKV Supra is a mechanical marvel right off the showroom floor. The BMW underpinnings are blatantly clear to anyone who drives one, making for one thrilling ride. The B46H offers enough spunk to keep the daily commute interesting, and the B58 motor puts out enough power to pave the way for some serious performance feats. Ultimately, the Supra makes for a proper driver’s car that rewards a press of the accelerator with a guaranteed grin every time. How do you keep it that way? Drive up the performance with a tune so it can never grow stale.
Why Should You Tune Your Supra
The A90 and A91 Supras are powerful vehicles from the start, but buyers of these vehicles, like yourself, typically aren’t the type to settle. Getting your Supra tuned is the best way to ensure it aligns with your performance goals. Ditching the factory tune and opting for a custom Supra tune allows you more flexibility in your journey to reaching your performance goals. Whether you want to try new fuel types or alter your boost curves, a custom tune allows you more precise control over how your Supra performs.
When Should You Tune Your Supra
Like with any vehicle, you should tune your Supra when you’re ready to optimize your performance to match your expectations and demands. The factory tune for the Supra, while plenty powerful, leaves some power for the taking. Then, if you’ve made any modifications to the engine, odds are you are using them to their full potential unless you’ve gotten a tune. Performance modifications like new tires or brakes wouldn’t need a tune, but for something like a custom Supra exhaust or even an aftermarket turbocharger upgrade, you’ll definitely need a tune to get the most out of your investment.
Parts For MKV Supra Tuning
The MKV Supra has a wealth of aftermarket support, meaning there are plenty of components available to get your Supra performing to your liking. That being said, there are more limited options when it comes to altering the ECU of your MKV Supra. Not to worry, we at Boostin Performance have what it takes to get your Supra tuned to spec. We supply parts and services for Supra tuning, so whatever your power goals are, speak with one of the performance professionals at Boostin Performance to open a discussion on how we can get you there.
How To Tune Your Supra for E85
Flex fuel compatibility for your Supra can mean a great deal for your available power and the convenience of filling up. With an MKV Supra flex-fuel kit from Boostin Performance, your Supra can run off e85, straight gasoline, and anything in between. No more worrying about timing those fill-ups or running on “E” just to get the right mix of ethanol. Worse yet, e85 from the pump isn’t even always an 85/15 ethanol/gasoline blend, meaning static e85 tunes can run into some serious issues.
Flex fuel compatibility for your MKV Supra allows you to reap the high-octane benefits of ethanol without worrying about its availability. If you’d like to switch up fuels for a road trip, you’re free to do so without draining the tank. If you’d like to get the most power out of your setup for an upcoming track day, fill up on e85 and get all of the advantages it brings. To get your Supra flex-fuel ready, get in touch with the professional technicians at Boostin Performance.
How To Tune Your Supra For Drag Racing
With a stout powerplant and an active rear differential, the MKV Supra is a natural choice for drag racing. Even the stock 275mm wide tires offer plenty of grip for a solid start off the line. These Supra models come factory with launch control, which can be great for people getting comfortable with the vehicle and for getting their feet wet with drag racing events, but it soon becomes limiting. An experienced driver may be able to outperform the stock launch control. Even further to that, any modifications you’ve made to the vehicle may reduce the efficacy of that factory feature, but its functionality can be restored with a proper tune that accounts for aftermarket modifications. Whether you need a tune that allows you to run an alternate fuel in your MKV Supra, or you need to get a better launch on drag slicks, Boostin Performance can make the difference in your Sura.
