chilli Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 276 and 300 bhp according to this - http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-driving/mitsubishi-lancer-evo-vi-2003897.html and this http://www.fantasycars.com/sedans/html/evo.html I love that blue one in the second link. that sounds more like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Fuel smell usually means dodgy oxygen sensor and the car can be running rich which will rob power, are you double decat? i ask because you have the boost only at 0.9-1.0 bar, which sounds more like single decat, a knackered IC with the hot temps we have wont be doing any good to your car and may explain the low boost in combination with the summer temps. TBH id consider getting an IC first and then get the car dyno'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 get the car duno'd. I do that myself quite regularly. What's that noise? - Duno What the BHP? - Duno How loud does the stereo go? - Duno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolance Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 it must have been modified slightly. i didnt think my stock supra was as quick as i hoped but after bpu it was totally different ive got a evo viii fq300 and had a bpu supra before... at high speeds im pretty confident the supra was way faster and felt much safer... i love my evo but its as areo dynamic as a brick going above 100 leptons imo. both great cars lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markie Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I agree with the boost being low for a double de-cat on stock turbos. Changed your plugs recently? Maybe need to upgrade them if they are the same ones that were in there with the stock boost levels? Not sure if that would add to the lack of performance. I use the Denso IK24's running at 1.2 BAR.

Stu_Fraser Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 When i first went BPU, my old sup wasnt pulling very hard above 4000rpm yet the boost guage was showing a healthy 1.2bar...... turned out the fuel pump was fecked and wasnt up to the job, once i changed it though the difference was awesome, so it might be worth changing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 just had a thought, it could have been a Evo VI RS Sprint they look standard but a fair bit more powerful than a standard Evo. 330 bhp 1,255 kgs 0-60mph = 3.91secs 0-100mph = 10.22secs 60-100mph = 6.31secs 1/4 mile = 12.58 @ 110.96mph Surely they'll out run a BPU supra up to naughty speeds ???

Bobbeh Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Look at the 1/4 mile time and terminals, thats average BPU performance for a Supra with decent rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Look at the 1/4 mile time and terminals, thats average BPU performance for a Supra with decent rubber. i wish i could get 12 and half sec 1/4 mile ! agree with terminal tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambertpig Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Sounds like somethings wrong with your car or driving! A stock Evo is an easy kill top end (you can even beat one from standing start if you launch hard in the dry) for a BPU supra You are possibly loosing boost - what boost level do you go upto? you should kill an evo after 110-120 my bpu uk auto reels them in after 120 even modded 8`s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 you should kill an evo after 110-120 my bpu uk auto reels them in after 120 even modded 8`s Charlieboo's original thread says from 50 to 110. agreed a BPU supra shouldn't have problems at those speeds but he did, so either his car needs looking at or it wasn't a standard evo.

Guest dee_rz Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Agreed with alot of points suprasteve has said here, easiest way to see whats going on is just get it on the rollers (dyno) and see what she's kicking out tbo it sounds like a fueling issue to me but also sounds as if poor parts will be a factor also, check it out on a dyno and sort fuelling or find any highlighted problems and you really shouldn't have a problem with an evo up top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 My supra was completely and utterly killed by an Evo 8 once from the lights, it was like my supra against a metro I couldn’t believe how fast this thing was. I am NA though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I might be stupid here... but BPU ?? (what's that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
