Supra_cooper2 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hey guys I'm just looking at picking some bits for my NA which I am planning to either gte swap or na-t. I haven't yet decided which it's going to be I would love to go gte but I think it might be to expensive these days . Anyway does anyone know if this is a decent ECU as i know someone selling one for £260. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Doing a proper NA-T build is going to cost you at least the same if not more than dropping in a supra GTE engine & wiring loom. HKS F-Con IS is capable of running NA-T but you will need to take it to an FCON authorized dealer/tuner in order to get the tuning done. So this may limit your choices on where you can get the ECU tuned depending on where you are in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_cooper2 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Cheers and I'm in the Midlands will it work with a gte or just a na-t. My thinking is if I go na-t I know how this engine has been treated to an extent but if I was to go gte I could spend the money on an engine and it go bang not long later One more thing are the Aristo engines inferior to a supra one Edited March 25, 2018 by Supra_cooper2 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Go NA-T ..you’ll spend £3k on a GTE and then another £800-£1500 going BPU and you’re at 400bhp. If you want more you’ll have to take the twins out and buy a single turbo kit anyway. I would use that money to buy a single turbo kit for the n/a with TT headgasket or build it according to your power goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_cooper2 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks. Im looking for as much power as usable on the road as I hear a lot of massive power supras aren't really usable I'd be happy with something that could see off an M5 easily but without being stripped out.

AC93 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Are you manual or auto? If you mean the F10 M5 (507bhp V10) then you want around 500 to see it off ‘easily’. I was in a friends 375bhp na-t at 0.5bar and he gapped a B8 RS4 twice (08 plate V8 ones). Now thats mapped to 430bhp at 10psi and pulled slowly away from an M4 What’s useable will be down to your drivetrain and suspension set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_cooper2 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I was thinking more along the lines of the V8 with 553bhp so I'm gonna be looking for around the 600 mark. What's the best deivetrain and suspension setup to get that kind of power down. Would that ECU be ok for them kind of goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Have a chat with Littlenum (James) at Performance@Hart https://performancehart.co.uk/. He is based in the West Midlands, and should be able to help you decide on which way to go mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
