Sheefa Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Obviously for a TT - FCD/Restrictor Ring, Boost Controller, FULL Decat I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayssupra Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Fuel pump and colder plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Right Im sure a BC and fuel pump arent part of BPU, why would you need a BC if you have a restrictor ring...........?? BPU is basic, not winding the boost up past 1.1, and the fuel pump deffo dont come under BPU, maybe BPU ++ Unless BPU has changed over the last 4 years......

Thorin Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I class BPU as raising the boost to 1.2 bar and the accompanying mods to get you there, which vary whether you've got a J-Spec or US/UK spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Didn't you see the FCD/Restrictor ring part mate! If I'm right, and please correct me if not so, if you have a RR then no Boost Controller is needed, but if you have a FCD then you can plumb in a BC to control boost up to fueling point? Could be jibbing crap here. Doubt a uprated pump, Walbro or the kind is needed, but probably helps to handle the additional grunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 ^ Yes to Thorin... and BPU++++++ at something like 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Ok, ok, you fecking critical bunch Basic Performance Upgrade™ (BPU™). This terms was coined by our founder Mark Tozer to best describe the basic set of performance modifications on a 1993-1998 Twin Turbo Supra. Instead of having to type out every basic mod a car had, we came up with this term. In it's simplest form it describes a Supra that is running elevated boost. In more detailed form the original BPU™ consisted of the following modifications: I. Downpipe. The downpipe replaces the factory CATS and allows for quicker turbo spooling and 1-2 psi of boost increase. Good for around 35-40 HP. II. Aftermarket Exhaust. Anytime you can free-up exhaust energy in a turbo car it is a good thing. The factory 2JZGTE engine with the BPU™ mods can flow quite a bit of exhaust gasses. Most aftermarket CAT-Back exhausts are good for around 15HP+ on a BPU™ Supra running 18psi of boost. III. Elevated Boost (17-18psi+). The major gain in HP and torque (up to 440rwhp and 410 ft.lbs of torque to the wheels) comes when you increase the boost in a Twin Turbo Supra. Increasing the boost can be done via a manual bleeder which allows for higher boost, but no control over boost levels. Manual boost controller, which uses a manual valve for adjusting boost levels (non-electronic). Electronic Boost Controller (most popular), which allows for in-cabin adjustment and regulation of boost pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 IV. Boost Cut Controller (BCC). The GReddy BCC is an electronics interceptor device that modifies the manifold pressure signal (boost) to the factory ECU. The Toyota factory ECU in the 2JZGTE Supra has a factory imposed fuel-cut at 1 bar (14.7 psi) of boost. The BCC is adjustable and alters the factory fuel-cut level so higher boost can be run. Those four items are the foundation of the original BPU™ FAQ written for MKIV and typically produce anywhere from 440-500 HP (crankshaft) on both automatic and 6 speed 2JZGTE equipped cars. Numbers vary upon state of tune and vehicle condition but the formula works and is run in hundreds upon hundreds of Supras. This BPU™ term has become so popular throughout the world and the NET that it is often quoted in magazines and even by other car owners when describing a Supra TT.

Suprash Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 But then thats shite, cause a air filter should really be included in BPU. I remember that all the different stages of BPU, ++++++ was all explained on here years ago, but feck knows where it is now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (up to 440rwhp and 410 ft.lbs of torque to the wheels) I wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 But then thats shite, cause a air filter should really be included in BPU. Nope, as you quite possibly could lose power by ditching the stock air box and fitting an aftermarket filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Nope, as you quite possibly could lose power by ditching the stock air box and fitting an aftermarket filter. Well then things have changed since my days of learning, cause trust me back then air filter was deffo regarded as BPU......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well then things have changed since my days of learning, cause trust me back then air filter was deffo regarded as BPU......... Not that I remember, it's usually one of the first mods people do though. Cams, and FMIC are usually two of the +'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I consider a fully decatted Supe running atleast 1.2 bar a true BPU, some say 1.1bar and some say 1.4bar, generally its when your fully decatted with supporting mods and the boost truned up. Fly wheel power assuming your running 1.2bar can be any where from 380-420BHP assuming you have a healthy engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get that, it just sounds contradicting......but yeah one of the first people do, hence it being BPU...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underworld Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Are colder plugs and Walboro fuel pumps a must? Ive got my fcd, boost gauge, about to get my decats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Are colder plugs and Walboro fuel pumps a must? Ive got my fcd, boost gauge, about to get my decats. Colder plugs yeah, fuel pump not necessarily but people tend to if their pump is 12 years old and if your running higher boost, which you then tend to do the 12v fuel pump mod, which adds extra strain to the pump as you wouldnt want your pump failing at WOT But this is more of a precution then a power mod....

Thorin Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 hence it being BPU...... But it's not a "performance upgrade", it's a "sounds cool and looks nice" upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Would a intercooler be a supporting mod ? No as you can quite capably run a small single on an SMIC, you certainly don't need one for BPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 If you're a j-spec, it's not a bad idea to replace the pump, but it's certainly not required. I haven't. And don't do the 12v mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
