Bally Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi all, I am wanting to upgrade my 95 auto TT Supra to BPU (removal of 1st decat uprated fuel pump etc) I use a mechanic who I know well he can fit all the parts the only thing which I think might be a problem is fitting a boost gauge itself as I think it needs to be set up on a rolling road/dyno does anyone know of a good setup near Sheffield? as always any advice gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 and how does one go about "setting up"a boost gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraig Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Boost Gauge doesn't need to be set up mate. Any mechanic will be able to fit all BPU upgrades quickly and easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Are you meaning a boost controller mate? As above a gauge won't need any set up. Once the boost controller is fitted it's just a matter of applying the settings and away you go. Not every car needs a boost controller though. Some cars will raise boost on their own with the double decat. For safety though I'd go 1bar restrictor ring and raise boost with BC to 1.2.

Bally Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks for your reply Kraig I thought you needed a boost gauge as well if one is not needed it will simplify the job next question wheres the best place to buy the bits needed??

Bally Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Just to recap when the Bpu parts are fitted including a restrictor ring is it not possible for the car to produce more than 1 bar of pressure aka (a safe level of boost) don t wanna fit the parts and damage the engine!

tony tt Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 1.2 bar is max on stock j spec turbos. 1.4 on UK stock turbos. 1.2 will be safe for them I've ran that for years and I've abused mine A LOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraig Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Whifbitz do BPU packages or you could try Keron to see if he has second hand stuff, as well as the classifieds on here of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fit a 1 bar restrictor ring then you install a boost controller to raise the boost to 1.2bar or 1.4bar depending on if you have a jspec or UK (or j spec with hybrids) as tony said. A boost gauge is a nice to have, technically not really needed if all BPU upgrades are fitted correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
