Guest Nicholas Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi all, Picked up my Supra (Sally) from Paul on friday and all I can say is wow! very impressed with the car. It's only running 1.2bar boost at the moment but will be 1.5 in Jan! it tends to light up the rears through 3rd and most of 4th (great fun!). We took her out to a private test track and got to 180 leptons with plenty left! A little later we found an R34 and unfortunately he went for it as I got into third so a brief moment of scary sideways action. by the time I had hit 4th and caught him he slowed I'll post some pictures up when she's clean again as I've just driven 100 miles down the M1 in the pouring rain. If anyone is thinking one is thinking of going single do it! oh and she's going back to paul for a new ECU (Currently running FCON) and some more goodies in the new year . for all the midlands guys and girls that turned up for our little outing - was nice to meet you all!

Guest Nicholas Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Congratulations Nick Why are you removing the FCON? Cheers Nic, Paul thinks the car would be much better with either an apexi or aem unit. It's also running quite rich at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also running quite rich at the moment Is it the FCON V Pro? if it is, this is equal if not better than both the Apexi and AEM. The FCON can only be mapped by an HKS Pro Dealer, some see this as a negative, I don't. I'd personally prefer an HKS trained pro dealer to map my car.

Hmm so do you know anyone in the UK that maps them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 If it's HKS then Paul can't map it hence the suggested change....you can look at this from 2 directions. Trust Paul's mapping skills and go with his choice of ECU. (I have no reason to doubt he can get either Apex'i or AEM sorted for you). Or take the existing Fcon to someone like GT-Art or Owens to get it Mapped by an authorised HKS mapper. Both routes could be full of pitfalls. So take your time and learn about these things first.

Cable Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hello Nick, Twas a good gathering on Sat, and the trip to and from Sixhills was quite amusing Your Supra sounded like a bloody train when you came by us what with the hissing from the turbo and all... I was also very impressed with Johnnyknox's as it did damn good job against you and Ash. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
