JamieP Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 would new intake manifold be any benifit on bpu supra. I doubt it, be good to see a before and after dyno sheet to be sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelboyne Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 thats a lot of hp to gain. why do you think i wont gain anymore hp on bpu car.looked at virtual works one looks amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 There is no gain till after 6200rpm, Singles push a lot more air and that gain is helped via mapping, it may help a little on a bpu car but its a lot money to spend for a small gain, the virtual works one is around £2000 iirc. Be good to know for sure so if you plan on going single later and dont mind spending the money then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I was going to leave the single turbo as the last and final modification. so new intake maybe first. then the fuel rail and injectors and second fuel pump and lines filters etc clutch and rad.still really enjoying 1.4 bar on the twins.was hopeing to get a spin in something like your single jamie in carlow but none to be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I say your cheapest and the most overlooked gain is from weight reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 what would you remove considering i like the uk toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 what would you remove considering i like the uk toys. I like my radio too but For me first thing I am goin to do is Lighter front seats (Bride Carbon Kevlar Gias Low Max), the stock seats weigh alot I dont think the spare wheel is much use to me if I get a puncher so that may go soon, it is about as far as I am willing to go with mine as it is a daily driver not a track car. Lightened Wheels will reduce sprung weight but I say you are very attached to your stock wheels, maybe light weight wheel studs Just cant think of anything else, I like my comforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 love my old fashion standard wheels already have the boot completely stripped of everything except strut brace and carpet. never carried a spare I review what you can live without and try and make her as light as possible, at the end of the day it will cost you nothing and you will gain performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kearney Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nigel don't change a thing with the car by lightening it or anything seriously its too clean to do that to! Get a few more engine mods, maybe even look at a nice set of hybrid turbos or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Dont strip it, its a nice car as is. Dont waste your money on hybrids, if you want more power id just buy a single kit, as you have a f-con and 550's they will do to start with till you feel the need to upgrade the fuel system.

nigelboyne Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 love the car the way it looks eventuall goal is 600/700hp with the to4z hks kit. be a proper wolf in sheeps clothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nero Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 You will gain some power, but for the money at BPU its not the right thing to do. Now if you plan on going single the gain is better. So if you want to just spend a little money and not all of it, this could be a worthwhile mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
