It attempts to break the 1,000-horsepower mark.
Owners have wanted to swap the BMW engine for the Toyota Supra A90’s iconic 2JZ since it was released. Hoonigan’s “Dyno Everything” series featured one such example, which set the standard for all subsequent episodes.
The tuned Toyota featured the 3.0-liter 2JZ Inline-Six engine. It features a Precision Turbo 7675 turbocharger, which the owner installed the night before the dyno runs. The new internals are complemented by an upgraded drivetrain that is unable to handle the engine’s full power. The owner doesn’t know how many horsepower it produces, but he estimates it to be around 900 horsepower (671 megawatts).
The Supra only produces 545 horsepower (406 kW) at the rear wheels. This is more than the stock figures, but still far less than the owner predicted. We are now ready to calibrate the second pull and get a new baseline figure of 917 horsepower (683 kW). Although this is closer than expected, it still falls short of our hopes and expectations. Although the third and final pull failed to surpass the first, the car still produces a strong 897 horsepower (668 kW).
The 2020 Supra was equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter engine that produces 335 horsepower (240kW), so it is an improvement. There was some speculation that Toyota had underrated the new Supra.
The Hoonigan crew uses Price is Right rules to predict a car’s Dyno number. This is the premise of the new show. For the first episode, the lowest guess of 650 horsepower (484 kW), won. The rest were too optimistic. Hoonigan offered to pull the Supra’s 917-hp figure a fourth time, but the owner declined. He was careful about turning up the power without dialing it in properly beforehand.
Hoonigan’s new series will be filled with surprises, as it brings a wide range of make and model vehicles to the dyno. In future episodes, we’ll be able to see “simple, stupid, race, and brown cars” hitting the dyno.
