RiceRocket Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Surely you goto give me credit for coming back on here and standing up to my mistakes i think we should feel sorry for the guy.. i dont think is his fault ? hes had some stick (and put up with it) and now he has admitted its wrong and held his hands up.. so there is no reason to laugh at the guy.. now i suggest we can welcome him to the forum and if we wants more power to genuinely give him good advice unlike his tuner did..

CardiffSupra Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hate to say it but "We told you so". Fairplay to you mate for coming back on and i wish you all the best for the rest of the project. Please please please listen to the guys on this forum they know the Supra inside out. One more thing, If your tuner did this on a car in Japan and got 550-600bhp what went wrong? Have you questioned him? Is it anyone in the Cardiff area? Good luck fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 414 @ 1 bar, be very intersting to see what you get @ 1.3 bar and beyond, fair play for hanging in there and not running out. You obviously like your car, and are enthuastic about it, so we as a club should support your efforts to get it where you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Fair play for coming back to the thread and dodging the pitch forks My advice would be to get a FULL spec list for the car then post it up on here. The good folks on here can give you an idea of where the lean issue is. Are you still selling it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraspeed Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 get some forged pistons and then up the boost... OR... if your tuner claims its will be ok i'd deliberatly smash up the boost, fry the pistons, demand a whole engine rebuild on his expense...or if he thinks its too much money, give him the option to get you a free single setup. i'm waiting to get my dyno results once i fit my new gearbox. then a few phone calls to the seller if it doesn't have the figure bhp i paid for....unless its more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraspeed Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 How long you had it? And should you not have checked that bhp figure (Dyno plot) before you bought it? i was young and foolish, bought the car on impulse with no knowledge of anything. stupidly trusted the guy selling it, told what the power approx was, said they were going to send me the sheet as he had misplaced it at the time and never found it gearbox went 3 weeks later.... spent 5 months getting upgraded 5 speed box as i had no reciept from him as he was a private seller so had to save for a while. 3 days later got forced off the road by some twat trying to overtake another vehicle on other side of the road...and into a ditch hitting a tree at about 10mph... got it repaired and the gearbox went again 2 weeks later after i realised it was not a new upgraded one. had big argument with gearbox company and turned out they ripped me off repairing 5 speed rather than upgraded one. got car still and about to do a 6 speed conversion so haven't had time for dyno between problems. ive been a bit of an idiot i agree but i'm slowley learning from my mistakes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
