Rob Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Just a quick note, you have gone to some length here to "thermally improve" the air intake yet I note you have not bypassed the water heating on the throttle body. That's a £10 mod, I don't know what it adds, probably a miniscule improvement, but when scrabbling for every HP you should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) Rob, Take a look at the plenum intake before it was insulated snap, and you will notice a brass tap at the rear of the rocker cover. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=16204 This allows me to keep the hot water isolated, yet should the throttle body freeze up one damp cold morning, I can open it. Simples Paul/Ian I am just as curious to have these figures. For the ?rd/th time, these will be measured after I finish the efficiencies upgrades. Only pointless prattling until then. m, If you read the thread, you will find that my target is 280. However, I don’t really want fuel wasting cam overlap. I shall decide on the day, and be quite content with the outcome. This is my everyday car, I am up to my neck in half finished jobs and the flashing overdrive light, and throttle position sensor (error code 38) hiccough is holding me up, my gearbox and overdrive are not working properly because of this, and since fitting my new speedo face, it is reading about 12 mph too fast? I do all the work outside, and the weather has been awful. If you want to know any quicker, then get your woollies, wellies, spanners and brollies out. Can you please think of some new and maybe not so negative topics, I have answered these before.

David P Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 8mm brass gas tap, fits and works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 m, It is pretty average for 20 of the horses to have escaped from a 60k engine so gave myself a 'ball park' start figure of 200bhp. Should I acheive 280, then that would be around 300 on a built engine. Can we move on please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 hey i was just wondering as when you started this you was saying 300... watching with interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Here's a better snap of the tap.

w41k3r Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Put it in in google then its a mines ecu piggyback from what i read The computers that are installed in the Toyota vehicle and the CPU are located in the same body. It's been said that we cannot analyze or even change the data. So, we introduced the VX-ROM for TOYOTA to break that theory and it was developed with all of our technology. This masterpiece is our confidence and pride! Taken from a post on supraforums I've seen some N/A supras getting around 225whp with just a Mines VX ROM, and exhaust. Even though the chip is not a mapping chip, it's still widely regarded as one of the best piggybacks that you can add to an N/A supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I know mines are pretty well regarded in Japan for their reprogrammed and replacement ECUs, but there is no way on earth i would believe that a reprogrammed ECU is going to increase an N/As power 80BHP:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 w, Thank's for the tip, and the link Have taken a look, it sounds a bit 'tea from China', but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I have sent an enquiry for more info, and the price. Have just fitted the U.K. brakes, which was not quite 'plug and play', as I didn't have the U.K. back plates, so the fronts were removed, and the rears given a pruning with the disc cutter. Looking forwards to giving them a few G's after they are bedded in and the Jap spec brakes not rolling about in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w41k3r Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I didnt see the 80bhp increase part but on supraforums think they said a good 20% or 20bhp was the increase but more info is needed just posting what i come across to help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) I will let you know what info they send. I have been studying the wiring diagrams, not easy with on disc info, and for a different sensor set up. It looks likely that when I wired the new AIT sensor into the loom, I severed the ring earth for the EGR sensor, Throttle position sensor, Trans oil temp sensor and EFI water temp sensor. No wonder it's not happy. Edited December 11, 2009 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
