I kinda like the in car interview
Kinda cramped cuz of the type of car
It’s sick but god damn they should a left the windows up
@@Richestmanintheworld395the outside sounds from the track were kinda cool given the topic.. minus the engine revs here and there lol
@@Richestmanintheworld395if they rolled the windows up they woulda been cooking in that heat. Probably 100 degrees out there at the track that day
@mikeyz131 it's 100 degrees and they both have hoodies on?
B58 Gang 🔥
The legend! I’m getting in a b58 because of your videos. I’m coming from the EA888 world which was fun.
@@alvaroperez7879good
I just stumbled on this video. STI Mikey tuned my 04 WRX 11-12 years ago when I was a broke college kid. I was lucky there was a meet up where he came and tuned 5-6 cars for an affordable price. Unfortunately my car was parked and a kid under the influence crashed into it and totaled the car a few years back but if Mikey is reading the comments I really appreciated you tuning the car and glad your doing great. Be safe. Thank you both for the interview.
One of the best tuner videos to date. So nice to see someone ask the man about goals, budget, and fueling to achieve certain goals!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've had a Mikey tune on my subaru for 10 years and still going. I'll definitely be going back to him once I cross over to the B58 platform. Its great to see and hear some real world numbers, and figures, of what it actually takes to make a car go fast on the track.
All the b58 Supra rumors coming to the end 7 sec Supras mk5 happened in less than 5 years . 2jz mk4 fanboys whip their cream those numbers no lie …
This video is so goated. Tukes you’re a really finding a lot of success with these interviews, bro you just interviewed at the man the myth, the legend for the A90. Nothing but good things to say about him. He definitely knows how to make these cars go fast. way faster than I want to go. Excellent work with the interview a good questions and good vibes.
Excellent conversation and interview. Learnt a lot. Love the in car setting.
Great interview. I love hearing from the goat, and the way the interview was conducted. I saw yall filming this live at the track.
Man I really love this episode… sooo much info… I’m going to have to watch this again… this was good 👍🏽
love watching tukes while editing. Great podcast and very informational cant wait for the new uploads. And my clients can thank him because I can actually get stuff done. Great Job Again TUKES
Wow i truly really loved this interview,one of many that one can learn alot from,mikey sharing his bad experiences and good ones,creating an atmoshere of motivation and h8s love for the sporttells me how ambitious and competive he is and not giving up in whst he wants to achieve,thanks you both for mak8ng this interview possible.
Great interview guys Much respect to @stimikey
loved this podcast useful info on the b58 for my b48 in parts, keep up the vids 😄💯
Been getting tuned by Mikey for close to 10 years now! Most humble & raw tuner I’ve worked with 🙏🏽
Hands down the best tuner in the world. Every supra needs that bottisauce
Idk about the best tuner in the world. But he definitely knows his shit.
best tuner on the b58 platform and its not even close.@@e30gangsta
@@richardstevens679 that's different than your original statement. But I agree.
Best tuner in the world? 💀 maybe for the b58 platform
@@GabethemosthatedSeems like one of the best for the S58 platform as well, He just trapped 159 mph in the 1/4 on a stock motor S58.
This series is gonna blow up you guys have such a solid product that i enjoy
I like the change of scenery. Sitting in the shop looks repetitive although ive been enjoying like ya last 4-5 interviews from start to finish! Keep up the good work!!!
Best interview & Mikey gave great info!
PREMIUM podcast.. Mikey is the MAN , and been SO nice to the Rices & Beccas Boopra
Awesome pod, super humble guy, mad enthusiast. Love it
His E-Tuning methodology is solid. After just three iterations, we started cranking the boost. I don't believe I ever saw knock during the tuning process. Fast turnaround and almost always available. That was my experience in 2016.
THIS IDEA IN THE CAR IS GENIUS KEEP STEPPING OUT OF THE BOX WE ARE HERE FOR IT 🙏🏽💪🏽
Great interview!
Car interview is fireeeeeeeee🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been looking for a video like this since I got my '21 3.0 a couple years ago. I have HKS downpipes but my ECU is a locked one which has kept me from a tune for so long. I've notice prices come down further and further to unlock though. When I got mine they couldn't even unlock stateside, I think it was only somewhere in Russia that offered it. Hearing this is motivating. I don't want a drag car, just a street car that can beat pretty much anything that comes up. Will go meth and ecu instead of turbo>meth>ecu most likely now.
running Mikey's e50 tune on my 22 VB WRX for 400whp and 480wtq for 13k miles so far, hopefully we go pi soon for a stg2 turbo for me.
Great podcast as always❤
🔥!! That’s my tuner right there !! We still tuning but he’s the 🐐
Mikey tuned both my wrxs fantastic dude highly recommend this guy 👏👏
Awesome Interview
The in car interview is so dope. Bring this back
My man Mikey. I hosted him so many times on his early days traveling up and down the coast. Had good times! He’s tuned every car of mine.
Gave you your flowers too. Awesome guy
This is a good one Tukes!!
Intro highlights are good but yall gotta put the segments (Video Chapters) in the video so that it can get more engagement and make it possible for someone to jump straight to the topic
Literally been kinda interested in tuning my own car and have an old nissan fwd that I've been interested in messing with the ecu but like this guy kinda gave me that push of okay do it
these last two videos are HEATERS 🔥👍🏻
Buying a b58 and calling this guy
Awesome vid
top 10 podcasts !!🔥
Great one
thats were i had my subaru legacy gt tuned prime motoring and now that im getting a bmw m240i i will be looking for tuneing
Now were talkin! Best one yet
You should have asked Botti if he liked the release of the 6MT MKV. Wealth of knowledge here. Pioneer
Wait he implied 🐝 58 is amazing!!! Yessss
Lit episode bro is smart asf
Every podcast from now on should be in a car. It's awesome
Great job with this interview brother
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Mikey tuned my WRX and he is one of the coolest tuner/gearhead I met in the car world.
I own a VW but know of the legend of Botti tuned. Some of the fastest cars I have seen along with Bader.
🔥 best one so far
Thanks!
5:47 shoutout to Ron Watson (Phatbotti Tuning). Tuned my WRX a few years back still going strong
Nah this a lit interview 🔥
Really great video and interview. Loving Mikey.
Does Botti have a channel, or some sort of community and way to get in touch with him??
I have questions about the Supra build I want to do and obviously have him tune.
Thanks! In the description is his info =)
Homie street tuned my forester back in the day , great dude
We need an interview with Jeff Payn next!!
He tuned my wrx back in 2017 the car ran amazing after
About breaking in the car aggressively..there have been articles and info about how the "drive it like you stole it" method is better than baby-ing it in. Somthing about the way the piston rings seal/seat against the cylinder bore or something like that.
Very informative. I usually do Dyno but on my last tune, I went street for drivability, which made a difference.
He just tuned my vb yesterday. Him and jaz are the fucking guys! 💪💪
Awesome video man. A lot of gems was shared. By any chance does anyone know what driver seat that is
Tuned by him now and my car Supra doesn’t run good at all. Had a bad experience with him when I paid for a remote tune on the dyno. Hopefully he treats his customers better now.
Damn he said the Turnpike, I definitely remember those days…Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Pepboys definitely used to be lit
Those cars are very impressive.
When I get my supra I'm gonna have Mikey tune it 😍
Man this guy knows what he's talking about
STi Mikey is a pillar in the Subaru community. You gotta JR next, or Bader.
My boy on that yayo
The fact that the notorious epa overreach is news to you is the reason its such a big deal. Its an extremely serious problem that such a small margin of us enthusiasts are aware of. Auto manufacturers, parts manufacturers, parts sellers, calibrators, shops, end users, all under attack without clear language on what line we can walk.
You can think diesel brodozer coal rolling dickheads for this, by the way. Riled up the EPA and ruined the fun for the rest of us.
The EPA doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about in the first place lmao…..A Catless Car with a really good Tune from a “Reputable Tuner” will produce less Emission related Gases compared to a Stock Car with a Cat from the Factory especially when the Catless Car’s on Full E85/C85 or just a Basic Ethanol Fuel Blend….ALSO ELECTRIC CARS CAUSE MORE EMISSIONS THAN COMBUSTION ENGINES WHICH IS A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FACT LMFAO This makes me think that the people working at the EPA are completely Uneducated/obvious on Basic Supply Chain Economics outlining how Electric Cars are Built, where the Materials come from, and where the Power to Charge these Cars originates from LOL…..The EPA at this point is just a group of Mindless Governmental Pawns that’ll believe anything the “Mainstream Scientific Studies” say mainly because THEY PAID FOR THOSE “MAINSTREAM STUDIES” IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!
RIP ATCO RACEWAY many memories and sad to see it go
What limits S58 cars to 8psi on the line? More revs overcome brake boosting or something?
The GOAT 🐐
Nasioc, classic . Good ole days
Shouldve asked what the difference is between 240/340/supra when it comes to power is there a difference? Has he seen a xdrive hinder power translation into the floor so many questions so little time lol
🔥 🔥🔥
Bruh the fact you didn’t know about the EPA stuff is wild. Get with the program lol
you gotta get Hesi and 1stock on the podcast
Ill have to get another MKV Supra.
Dope
Mike do you think the S58 requires methanol? Methanol doesn't seem to in the s58 community currently
Should’ve asked about s55
🔥🔥🔥
muy buena 👍
Here’s a reason for break-in period.
If you are going to change the oil every 3-5 thousand miles, then yes you should break it in because small particles left over from manufacturing will build in the oil filter, which may affect oil pressure. If you change it often, in the first couple thousand miles, doesn’t matter how hard you beat on it.
Connecticut stand up !!!!
I just bought a 2024 bmw m240i I'm in Western Mass area looking for good shop for upgrades
Interview Jason waters bro !
Gotta get F80Paul next man!
I have a BMW 440i and go to the pyke!!
Bader “hold my beer”
Does sti Mikey tune other car brands or other built motors?🤔
W VIDEO
It’s Alpha was focused on making sure his hat didn’t fall off the entire video
Mike spoke from his personal experience here, but the Rick and Ranny interview had better accuracy with respect to the platforms if you're looking for that.
Was the Dodge Caravan a Turbo version ?
its official the b58 is now the new gen 2jz
21:14 idk why people put so much money into Subies to make such little HP. U can go get a 340i for less and push the same number reliably for about 10k of mods
more of B58
1:04:39 some of your question make no sense you can see the confusion on his face lol, “was the s58 designed for performance or reliability” don’t think it was both lmfaoo, secondly like when he corrected you the Supra we hit advertised as a track car, it’s a road car like a GT
How much $$$ to run about 600whp and what mods for b58 gen 1???
Tune, turbo, fueling. If you want to do it sustainably you’d need more (port injection, reflex kit, cooling, big turbo vs hybrid). But bare minimum, probably around 6k. If you want to do it right, closer to 10-12k.
This doesn’t include that fact that around that amount of power, your trans will start to slip and you’ll need to get it rebuilt. That’s about 5k.
u need to support the trans first, hybrid turbo, tu pump from gen 2 cars
This podcast almost makes me wanna go from Coyote to B58 😂
Best B58 tuner in the world🔥
Fastest for sure but his cars blow up far more frequently than other tuners
@@JamaicaItalia If you are not on the edge of blowing up, then you are not getting all you can from it.
@@JamaicaItaliapushing records that what’s gonna happen.
@coryr7499 pushing records is irrelevant especially when there's always something faster.
Happens to cars that aren't pushing records too. His tunes are notorious for blowing up. Look at Dom Tracy's supra. Lasted less than a month with a Mikey Tune @@coryr7499
