tony1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) As per title. I would like to say a massive thank you to LeeP and all the guys at SRD who have worked on my car over the past few weeks. I bought my stock 94 UK Spec auto in 2008 and ever since then wanted to go full BPU. Due to different circumstances over the years I've never got round to getting it done until now. Wow what a difference. The only things I had done to the car myself before taking it to SRD was a K&N Panel filter, 2.5" double de-cats, 3" single box system and Iridium spark plugs. I originally took the car to SRD to have FMIC, Boost controller and BOV fitted. But I imagine like most people when they take there car in, I ended up getting a lot more done. I asked Lee to future proof the car in case I go single later on down the line. So it begins. Due to being a UK car, it had some rust issues which needed sorting before anything could be done. Pics below. <!--url{0}-->[/img]</p><p> <img src=[/img] <!--url{2}-->[/img]</p><p> <img src=[/img] With the new bar fitted it was just a matter of putting it all back together again with the new FMIC. Or so I thought. Lee sent me lots of pics of the work in progress and while the front of the car was completely taken apart, now seemed a good time to replace some other tired looking bits. To keep things simple here is a list of everything that ended up being done. All new: HKS SSQV BOV HKS EVC S boost controller Greddy Fuel Cut Defender Mishimoto aluminium radiator Mishimoto silicone bottom hose SRD Aluminium top hose 2 x SRD Auto box coolers SRD Aluminium under tray Gates kevlar racing cam belt Garage Whifbitz FMIC Garage Whifbitz power steering cooler Garage Whifbitz polished aluminium header tank Garage Whifbitz carbon fuse box lid Garage Whifbitz carbon Spark plug cover APR carbon cooling plate Fuel damper by-pass hose <!--url{4}-->[/img]</p><p> <img src=[/img] <!--url{6}-->[/img]</p><p> <img src=[/img] <!--url{8}-->[/img]</p><p> </p><p> Some handling parts fitted as well, Again all new.</p><p> Toyota front discs (Old 3G discs were Very Badly warped)</p><p> Porterfield R4S pads</p><p> 15mm Hubcentric wheel spacers</p><p> Spigot rings</p><p> </p><p> <img src=[/img] <!--url{10}-->[/img]</p><p> <img src=[/img] <!--url{12}-->[/img]</p><p> </p><p> Once all back together the car was fully serviced including air con refill and taken for an MOT.</p><p> </p><p> It was then off to the dyno for a power run and to set up the boost controller. Here are the dyno pics of when I first got the car and the other is once the BPU had been done.</p><p> 320BHP & 265lbf.ft torque when I first got it.</p><p> 394BHP & 377lbf.ft torque once full BPU</p><p> </p><p> <img src=[/img] <!--url{14}-->[/img]</p><p> </p><p> Lee said he was impressed with the power figures considering its an auto but mentioned the boost was dropping off towards the top end because the decats were still restricting it. </p><p> So on that note I decided to order myself:</p><p> </p><p> Garage Whifbitz 3" decats &</p><p> Garage Whifbitz 4" single box system</p><p> </p><p> <img src=[/img] Once Lee had fun and games fitting them, it was back to the dyno to see if it had made any difference. <!--url{16}-->[/img]</p><p> </p><p> I will let the graph speak for it’s self.</p><p> </p><p> <img src=[/img] We actually turned the boost controller down 10% and still made an extra 30BHP 425BHP & 450lbf.ft torque <!--url{18}-->[/img]</p><p> </p><p> I am well happy with the result and glad I took my car to SRD to have the work done. </p><p> Again would like to thank LeeP and all the guys at SRD for supplying parts and labour. </p><p> Also thank you to Garage Whifbitz for also supplying a lot of the parts as well.</p> Edited August 25, 2015 by tony1 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony1 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Impressive numbers - how much did it make at the wheels? Annoyingly that pic of the final dyno run is all I've got. I do want to do another run and get the full list of numbers. Once I've done it, I will post up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 No problem Anthony was a pleasure to do and a great result. Very nice car you have there. I will get the rest of the dyno print outs for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Lee's workmanship is top class as usual + the Whifbitz kit suits the car very well. you should have got Lee to tidy up the wires in the engine bay to finish it off nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident I will at some point so when the car goes in to be converted we will then look at tidying up wires and de-cluttering the engine bay.

j_jza80 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nice The rust on the cross member is a common issue (with a lot of cars, not just Supras). Otherwise, it all looks in really good condition given how many years it's been on British roads And the dyno results are great, your engine must be in rude health.

binfieldx Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 SRD are the best, my supra won't go to anyone else! Just got it back from there after having a tonne of work done. Lee always goes out of his way to make sure everything is done to a top notch standard! My supra is running absolutely spanking now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai 20V Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Wow, thats awesome power! What boost level is this at? Is the 4inch exhaust making the difference here?

berg Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thats impressive figures Mine made less than 380 with virtually the same mods (apart from the 4" cat back) Nice upgrades though, BPU is a huge difference to standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Nice results mate that's some nice improvements and yes SRD FTW, Lee dose some Amazing work and has the supra seen fully under his spell with all the first class builds and high power cars rolling out the doors great work guys, Edited August 26, 2015 by supra matt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony1 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Wow, thats awesome power! What boost level is this at? Is the 4inch exhaust making the difference here? The boost controller is set at 1.3bar The only things changed on the car between the 2 power runs of 394bhp and 425bhp is the 2.5" decats for 3" decats and the 3" single box system for a 4" single box system. We also turned the boost controller down 10% when we changed the exhaust because we knew it would be more free flowing and didn't want it over boosting and running rich.

alibabba Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Sorry for bumping an old thread. But I'm looking at a similar setup. Are the 2 auto box coolers place in front of each other, between the radiator and the fmic? How is the cooling? Is there any room to place one in the position of the smic?
