binfieldx Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi guys, I've just bought a supra from japan and it will be on the way here soon, it's a 95 TT manual 6speed. I was wondering what kind of things will it need to have done once it's landed. Im not talking about making it MOT legal, but engine wise to make it run as best it can. I've been told I need a new ecu as the stock can't be remapped? Hadn't planned that when buying the car but, these things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Depends how much money you want to throw at it, but BPU is a good starting point - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?94705-BPU-(Basic-Performance-Upgrade) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I was most concerned with the ECU part? I wasn't aware i'd need a new one and I assume i'll be looking at the best part of 2.5k for a new ecu mapped and fitted, that I didn't budget for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It doesent need a new ECU? Stock can't be remapped, but on a stock engine, you don't need to remap the ECU. You only need a new ecu when fitting single turbo, larger injectors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No new ECU required. It'll run fine on UK fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Are you guys sure? I've been told my a company that carries out work on my friends drift cars etc and specialises in import cars this 'Yes we do. Is yours the Orange one? What ecu does it have? If stock then will need upgrade.' Me- "Believe it's stock I havent been told otherwise and yes its the orange one " Ok well few options. Link G4 usually £1950 or Syvecs s6 is about £3k supply/fit/map. Both stand alones' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATT RR Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Sounds like they are trying it on to me to get some money out of you, unless you have stated some other serious upgrades you want them to do like going single etc I'm not aware there is any need for a change in the ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binfieldx Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's got a few upgrades to the engine, like for example an Intercooler + BoV...Would that make much of a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No need to change the ECU at all on stock turbos. Just run it on premium Shell/BP fuel and it will be fine. Just make sure that IF it has a boost controller fitted, it is set up correctly, and not boosting above 1.2 bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binfieldx Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks very much guys, got really worried i'd need to be forking out 3k for a new ECU....! it's got a boost controller so i'll look over that when I get it. I was planning on running the supra only on shell V-Power, that's ok right? Can anyone recommend any good garages for the Supra in Surrey?

Gaz6002 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yes, SRD Tuning is the company you need. Few garages know these cars really well, but they are one of the best. - - - Updated - - - Sorry, I didn't want to name and shame them globally... I can PM it but it says I can't? You'll need to pay the £10 full membership fee to PM anyone that isn't a mod. In the meantime, feel free to PM me instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binfieldx Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) How can I contact the owner? The SRD site is very...unfinished. Does he have a direct number? Edited February 5, 2015 by binfieldx (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The other trader could be correct IF there's a lot of mods on which have no means of control...ie effectively it was a non runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
