Glosphil Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi guys, I keep thinking of things to do to my car and with everything buzzing around, i dont actually do anything ! I've come up with an order of evens that Im going to stick to and start the first thing this week. Please let me know what you think. (done IK22 plugs already) 1. FMIC (my smic is knackere) - Is a Greddy 3 Row the best to go for ? Is it easy to fit ? 2. Exhuast System (thinking HKS Superdagger or Nurspec ?) 3. Double De-Catt, with 1.2 Restrictor thingy 4. Walbro fuel pump 5. FCD ? 6. Boost Controller 7. (probably long way off) Single tubby.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Maybe do the fuel pump and the FCD before the double de-cat if you plan to spread these mods out over a period of time? If you're getting them all done at once then doesn't matter which ones come first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think in this order (based upon progressive mods and safeguarding the engine components during all stages of BPU upgrade: (New SMIC perhaps instead the expense of a branded FMIC perhaps) 1. Walbro fuel pump 2. FCD ? 3. FMIC (my smic is knackere) - Is a Greddy 3 Row the best to go for ? Is it easy to fit ? 4. Double De-Catt, with 1.2 Restrictor thingy 5. Exhuast System (thinking HKS Superdagger or Nurspec ?) 6. Boost Controller 7. (probably long way off) Single tubby.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I wouldn't buy another Super Dragger. I've had two of the damn things rust to pieces. Go for a decent stainless or Ti system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couv3z Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 3. Double De-Catt, with 1.2 Restrictor thingy QUOTE] quick question, as the supra has 2 cats , will it pass a mot with only one installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If your going to be BPU i would suggest a replacement SMIC. FMIC would be a little overkill for your needs plus you will loose the excellent ducting the toyota engineers have provided you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ok, what SMIC should I go for ? I've seen 2 on Miami GT a standard and uprated one, but dont know if they any good... Advice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 CW is doing a group buy on SMIC's at the moment. If you can afford one, you wont regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glosphil Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=97742 thanks, already found it however..... Still confused... MGT do two SMIC's one standard one, one uprated one, both cheaper than CW's. Which is better ? where's the proof ? I've not seen anything concrete for any of them... I've got a lot of parts to sort and just wish there was a list of "this is the one you want" "avoid this" lol Im getting nowhere fast keeping procrastinating over it all.

Sheefa Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 The Miami GT ones are certainly good mate and are far better than a knackered SMIC. I've got a decent Greddy 2-row that's perfect for BPU, but personally, I feel I should of gone for the CW SMIC. The ducting for the SMIC on the Supra is a work of art and CWs SMIC makes full use of it. I'd spend the extra cash on something that's proven to work very well indeed with no issues whatsoever, and that my friend, is a CW SMIC.

Ric Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 For a BPU application a MiamiGT one is more than adiquate. I have one on my car at bpu level and its fine. Its a standard replacement and for the price, i think andy is doing them at £225 + around 15quid for delivery u just cant go wrong http://miami-gt.co.uk/store/product_info.php/cPath/1_30/products_id/694 Website shows 245 but they are 225 for members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Carbon said, Miamit-GT one will be fine for BPU, but it all depends on what plans you have for your car. In terms of future proofing, I'd still go with a CW SMIC or a decent FMIC with additional ducting - small single + territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well I'm going to take it BPU for now, so perhaps I'll get the standard Miami GT one, then when I go single I'll get an FMIC ? sound ok ? Would I realise any gains at BPU with the CW one over the MGT one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Probably not, maybe better handling of boost pressures, but the further you go up the upgrade route, the better the CW SMIC will prove to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
