  • 2020 Toyota GR Supra – AMS ALPHA 6 Turbo Kit

    2020 Toyota GR Supra – AMS ALPHA 6 Turbo Kit

    Steve brought us his Tungsten Silver 2020 Toyota GR Supra to get the 2-port B58 engine ALPHA 6 equipped, Flex Fuel enabled, and up to the 600whp mark! Setup below:

    • AMS Performance ALPHA 6 turbocharger system
    • Garrett – Advancing Motion GTX3076R Gen II turbocharger
    • AMS Performance down-pipe with EPA compliant GESi catalytic converter
    • AMS Performance 3.00″ charge pipe
    • Visconti Tuning Flex Fuel conversion
    • LG Motorsports auxiliary fuel pump
    • Mishimoto Automotive catch can
    With the mechanical work wrapped up in the shop by Michael, John strapped her down to the rollers for a custom Flex Fuel calibration by Vlad via EcuTek Technologies Ltd. With the factory direct injection system limiting ethanol content to E40, output still increased to 598.88whp & 555.06lbft — a gain of over 256whp & 159lbft over stock baseline at peak! These cars are an absolute blast at this power level!
    As we saw with Mark’s ALPHA 6 GR Supra build, with the addition of port injection, Steve would be looking at an additional 35whp & 20lbft when he’s ready for more jam.
