Looking for around 500bhp with great spool. rebuilt bottom end eagle rods wisco pistons race bearing new oil pump new timing belt new fan belt new head gasket ARP bolts complete new gasket set head examined and cleaned new turbo kit / gt35r cast / tubular manifold tial wastegate tail bov new oil lines oil filter relocation kit 16 row oil cooler gear box oil cooler new auto gearbox (stock setting not uprated) New torque converter new DP new fuel system 880cc injectors titian rail aeromotive FPR -10an fuel lines examine fuel cell for for walbro pumps / rework hanger AEM ecu AEM map sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Nice setup... might be an idea to get some experience driving the Supra fast at BPU levels before going single though. It's a fairly big jump. Your platinum card must be almost worn out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Christ... Ide have had to have had the Lambo, BUT that is one hell of a Supra, is the engine bay painted? Might as well go to town on the engine too.. SHame not to if its all out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra matt Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Very nice mate but i would not bother with the aem as that's what I'm running at the moment and it dose not control the auto box very well . So i'm going for the greddy emu now so i can keep the stock ecu to look after the auto as it's meant to , But if your adamant on going with the aem mine will be for sale got the hole lot aem ecu aem 3.5 bar map boost solenoid hks dli Only done 1000 miles top and was all brand new gear yours for £1100 delivered .

It's a fairly big jump. Your platinum card must be almost worn out now. I've owned the supra for nearly 4 years now, It was a proven 400bhp car at JAE 3 years ago, last year i havent been driving it pretty much at all but I'm no stranger to speed. I have no debt either but thanks for the concern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 cast / tubular manifold Which one? Also are you going manual? if not id reconsider the AEM ecu, Bolabag has a Motec for sale or just go with EMU for nice autobox gear changes.

I have no debt either but thanks for the concern My concern was based around you crashing actually, not your debt situation. Maybe it was proven 400bhp but you couldn't handle that, could you?

Might as well go to town on the engine too.. SHame not to if its all out.. I would have too but its been 4 years of spending and i doubt i'd get the trade in value either!! Its not no but it has had all the visible bits sprayed Matt black and it looks great. Next step is a complete leather re-trim including dash and a pillars etc to finish her off Cheers for the compliments JODY It will be a totally different car when it comes out of Michels!!!!! He's a top man when it comes to turning these cars out! He has done yours mate proof is in the pudding as they say. Cant wait! remember to give me a shout when we're going up! Very nice mate but i would not bother with the aem as that's what I'm running at the moment and it dose not control the auto box very well . So i'm going for the greddy emu now so i can keep the stock ecu to look after the auto as it's meant to , But if your adamant on going with the aem mine will be for sale got the hole lot aem ecu aem 3.5 bar map boost solenoid hks dli Only done 1000 miles top and was all brand new gear yours for £1100 delivered . I'm purely going from Michels advise and i'm going to stick with it as he knows his stuff. Not sure what the score is with parts but i believe Michel has started ordering already. Thanks for the offer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a EMU before my AEM and AEM transformed the drive! The shift characteristic are far better and mine seems to blip the throttle on the down change I suppose it comes down to the mapper though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not confirmed as yet, which everone Michel things is most suitable. Remember my knowledge on these things isnt outstanding, so i wouldnt know which one would be best myself.

JODY T Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Ive been in some AEMed AUtos and have to say that it jerks in gear and isnt the nicest on the move.. They kept saying the new firmware would sort it but ive never noticed a change.. Hopefully Michel has a plan, as i see that car as a fast 'Cruser' so gear changes, whist going slow ide think would be important.. Unless Michel is going to use the AEM for the Engine and the OEM for the Box... That would change everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
