dude Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well i dont know what to say, Im only saying what ive been told. Me and my dad are supra newbies and we are just trying to get the best advice on running 400+bhp without breaking the bank. Thats what we are trying to do, give you the best advice, I must have BPU'd hundreds of Supras now so we pretty much know what we are doing and everyone here will help you take the correct route for what you want.

Chris Bailey Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Can anyone tell us what to do to see 400+bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Unless you've seen it for yourself on a dyno (and a reputable one), never, ever quote a figure on here - you'll get ar5e-raped (like you are doing now!!) And people selling you cars will always, always lie! Be they didn't tell you about the oil leak and knackered shock when they sold it either.

Graham1984 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Best thing you can do is take it to him Or sell it to me....... Actually I nearly wrecked a NA the other week maybe I should go back to my other vehicle rather than getting something faster http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT7yzaDcjU_BL9rAYTcV4l6glmAhJ6oHl6gHfwA7j4m2Xp62NwU_w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well i dont know what to say, Im only saying what ive been told. Me and my dad are supra newbies and we are just trying to get the best advice on running 400+bhp without breaking the bank. You have to rewind though bud. First things first, you're on a Supra owners forum where more notions of power have been seen than during a by-election. We are telling you approx how much power your car will be making, we are telling you the reasons that your car will be making that sort of power, we are telling you how much you can get out of your car and we are telling you what to do to get the most out of your car. These figures come from knowledge and experience from being on this forum for a number of years and from working on these cars for a number of years. What you are being told, from wherever you are being told it, is a load of bull. This all came out in page one and we have been going round in circles since then.

dude Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Can anyone tell us what to do to see 400+bhp Remove the 2nd cat, fit BC and IMO refit the stock airbox if you still have it, run car on dyno to check fuelling which we always do as part of BPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Can anyone tell us what to do to see 400+bhp Why this obsession with BHP?!?! Always makes me laugh. Get it double decatted, make sure all the other BPU bits are checked off and then get it dynoed (if you really need to). But get the oil leak sorted first.

Chris Bailey Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nope your quite right ellis lol - We didnt find that out until we took it to Paul at Whifbitz. Im hoping Paul can point us in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 This is what the car looks like and the mods that have been done to it, As i said we havent changed anything apart from NGK iridiums and a air induction kit. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=4537 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Im not sure if it has a mines ecu, Yeah we still have the stock airbox so if your 100% that will help then ill refit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) May one enquire as to where you bought the car from? It looks like one from here. Found it - Supralad's car!! He estimated the BHP (bless!) Ahem! Edited March 5, 2012 by ellis (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Im not sure if it has a mines ecu, Yeah we still have the stock airbox so if your 100% that will help then ill refit it. If you have a mines ecu you will need to make sure you only use the highest octane fuel you can get, it will prob be boosting hiogher than .8 bar and have more timing in it than stock, it will make more HP as a result so a dyno run would be interesting, you must have been told this already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Its sitting at 0.8 on the turbo timer on full boost im 99.99% sure. I'd imagine my dad would like the 2nd decat done, He just wants the car to run fine and look the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's amazing that he owned the car so long and claimed it was full BPU! Some people!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well maybe it doesnt have the Mines ecu anymore then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
