I have a non turbo mk1V , love the car but cant afford to upgrade to tt at present, any ideas on getting more power or am I wasting my time and money on a non turbo ??

 

Many thanks

I now supply a N/A cat removal pipe. I was sceptical about the gains but people kept asking me to do one. I admit huge surprise at what a difference removing the cat stuff on the N/A makes! It really does wake them up, especially with a decent aftermarket exhaust from the cat pipe back. The Hyper is VERY loud on the N/A with no turbos to take some energy out of the exhaust, so I personally prefer the Super Dragar system. Never heard the Blitz stuff, although I think they do make an N/A system. E-mail or ring me direct for price if interested. See sig for number. Direct e-mail is [email protected]

 

Further mods will not be very cost effective, i doubt changing the air filter or filter and box will gain anything whatsoever, may cost power. You could spend some dosh on the handling if you like to throw the beastie around, the lighter front end should make it handle a lot better than the TT, set up right.

Oh definitely. There's Lee who occassionally pops his head up on he with a BUP+ (?) silver TT. There another silver TT in Rodbourne and I think a blue or purple one in Straton village. That's 6 that we know of for sure. Think there might be another black one about too. We'll be rivalling E Anglia's glut in no time!

 

Begs the question why we never see any of the others around town?

There's nothing wrong with VVTi, but as someone said above most of the tuning kit already available for the Supra will not talk to the VVTi electronics.

 

As a technology, VVTi is well and truly here to stay. There is a tremendous amount of research effort going into it, and related technologies.

 

Latest Motec M800 software will run infinitely variable cam timing like the BMW Vanos and Toyota Altezza with twin cam VVTi and will of course run Supra VVTi too. Be a BASTARD to map, but it is possible...
