asupracar Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Just become proud owners of a UK spec Sup. Love it. This is after selling my beloved e34 M5 3.8. I know your views on BM drivers- I agree. I think of my self as different, as the car I had was a cool classic- but compared to the sup performance wise, the supra comes 1st every time Hopefully I will learn a lot from this site and be able to come to some of the meets etc. It would be nice to see some BPU car as mine is stock apart from the boost gauge. Anyway to my point! I know searching is the key etc. But I just need some advise. My cars stock boost is around 0.7bar, which is about right as Toyota claim it should boosting between 8.8psi -10.8psi The problem I have is that when I raised the boost by bleeding off some air from the Westgate- now boosting at 0.85 0.9bar. The car hesitates at the higher revs. Boost is stable no smoke no engine light just power seems to come and go very fast. This however does not always happen I have read that it could be the plugs????????? I know a decats in order to help the cat breath but this was just a demo run to see what kind of performance gains raising the boost by 0.1 bar would have and I was very impressed So what are you thoughts on this hesitation?

SimonB Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Yes, that sounds like plugs. You want some Denso Ik24s or equivalent. Oh, welcome btw! Very brave admitting the BMW thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
