Inside Papadakis Racing's 1200HP B58 Supra Engine Build

In this video, we visit Steph Papadakis’ shop to dive deep into the remarkable 1200hp B58-based engine powering his Toyota Supra drift car. Steph—widely respected as one of the smartest innovators in Formula Drift—reveals the secrets behind achieving massive power with impressive reliability, including the factory crankshaft, wet-sump oiling at nearly 9,000 rpm, and a well-developed head featuring minimal port work. We also learn about his use of advanced tech like 3D printing for manifolds, dividing the turbo manifold for optimal spool, and integrating nitrous for immediate boost response. If you want a masterclass on pushing an engine to the edge under the brutal demands of professional drifting, this is it.
