Intake pipe

:taped:Just a quick note for people silly enough to buy an intake pipe and filter for a supra from ebay...

 

like me :D Oh well :rolleyes:

 

Anyway the filter seems pretty decent as my car acheived 420rwhp on chip wizards dyno last week but was being a royal pain in the arse on occasional runs and driving when pulling past 1 bar of boost. It would suddenly die and loose all boost but returning to normal on re-application of the throttle. It only did this once it was really warm and since found that it is the supplied flexible hose sections that just are not up to the job espcially when warm... The pipe gets sucked almost completely flat GRR

 

Well its fixed now by shoving the pipes in further until my proper silicone replacements arrive.. :sly:

Hi its a UK TT auto with a full decat, colder plugs, big FMIC, boost controller set to 1.2 bar and running aproximately 7% methanol in tesco 99 ron to help correct the over rich fuel mixture and get the octane up a little.

It is what the dyno said and it normally is pretty accurate as far as I am aware.

 

I am not saying it is 420bhp but the dyno did on the day repeatably between 390 and 420 run after run.

 

who knows ..

Cool! So allowing for automatic transmission losses that's about 530-560 flywheel BHP then?

I dont have one because I was using the dyno myself and didnt know how to print or delete each graph as I went.

 

I will get one in the next few weeks, I am often there.
