Some help and advice needed

[Firestorm]

hey guys, new to this- already said high in the new members section but now i need some expert advice.

 

ok first and fore-most - i had a warning light come on my supra today the one with the car and the lines coming off it i beleive this is the rear lamp failure thing - as far as i have researched this is nothing to worry about as such as is probably water(frm glos so u can understand!) and it will dry- is this tru?

 

also can you guys recommend what the next course of action i could do to the supra if i wanted to think bout dragging 1/4 mile and dyno it etc (without removing the backs seats lol )

 

my spec is in the new members page btw heheh.

 

thanks chaps.

Also, I assume you've got no cats in? What boost are you running generally? Next stage after BPU is costly unfortunately, you need to decide on how far you want to go. You could stick with the stock turbos and push them as far as possible (450bhp ish), or you could get some hybrids (up to 550bhp ish? Not really sure on this), or you could go single (sky's the limit. ).

um as far as i kno it aint been de-catted- as i said only had it a weeks so im still go over everything- just aslo preparing for the future!

[tbourner]

In that case you need to check what boost you're reaching, see what the boost controller is set to and watch the boost guage. If it's up over 1bar/14psi you'd do well to make sure it IS decatted, otherwise you may be getting high EGTs.

Hi there,

 

Go my Blitz sbc boost controller set a normal/standard zero boost with a peak at 1.25. i think ive only once got it there but ddint wanna go further cos of EGTs. im still concerned witht he legality of de-catting i guess.

[spidermonkey]

if you're not de-catted do not raise the boost up too high (no more than 1 bar) or you will soon be investing in a new set of turbos

[Firestorm]

funny you should say that cos- they chap i bought it off actually gave me 2 (TT) turbos from a VVTI Supra (bout 20k on them tho) i beleive they maybe Uk spec.

 

im not looking to up the boost until i have got everything else in sorted and in place first.

 

id like to join you guys down at a santa pod style track thing - but need to do the essential things first.
