chrisavila100 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just got back home after picking my car up from chris wilson(thanks mate:thumbs:) After lots of advice from everyone on here:thanks: i decided to splash the cash and go full bpu, This is what chris did to the car for me! :C/w smic :C/w Decats :Water injection : Fcd/colder plugs :Hks evc 3 :Greddy EGT gauge :Blitz mirror drive oil temp gauge :Blitz mirror drive boost gauge :2x new o2 sensors :Replacement Maf sensor :New PAS resivoir :C/w front pads :Full service, inc Fuel filter and ALL fluids and oils changed :c/w 4 wheel alignment.. All i can say is wow! the car feels sooo much better! The car feels so much more planted now with lots more grip! And power wise, well to be honest its like chalk and cheese.. The car picks up alot quicker now and just feels so much faster in all situations, the 80 to 120 pull in 4th is addictive.. And thats only at 1bar.. 1.2 got me a bit:scared: Now some of this massive difference is probably because ive been driving a 1.6 for the last 2 months, but then again when i turned the boost controller off the car felt very sluggish at 0.7 bar! It was such a nice drive home, all 250miles of it.. Great day out apart from 5 hours on the trains.... The fully decated nur spec sounds sweet, alot deeper grumble to it now:eyebrows: but not much louder than when i just had the 1st cat in.. A bit droney on the motorway, but only after i give it some welly! so steady foot = no noise.. well not much.. But then again when i let her idle for 3 mins (oopps) back at my place, the annoying woman from downstairs shouted out of her window "turn that bloody noise off":rolleyes: Felt like telling her to shut the F**k up.. long story with her.... problems ahead im sure.... ANYWAY...zZZzzZzz Im glad i took your guys advice and went bpu, instead of selling my car and buying a single! But now its got me thinking how much fun a single must be..... Once again thanks for all the advice, and thanks to all the club members on here that sold me parts to get me bpu'd:) And a big thanks to chris wilson for all his time and effort, and very reasonable bill;) great job.. P.s From the long waffle, do you can get the feeling im a little excited:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Sounds good Nice suprise when you have the cats out and run a little more boost! Why the new MAF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisavila100 Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 The car had a very strange misfire before she went in.. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=110417 And this was thought to be a cause, the misfire has almost gone:( Still has a slight miss,(sometimes) but only seems to happen when i drop it down a gear and floor it.. so just at the start of the 2nd turbo coming online.. Chris is going to get hold of a few coilpacks to send to me, so i can see if that sorts things out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I know how you feel, it's a completely different car, and so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisavila100 Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 I just cant get over how much quicker the car springs into life.. and how well it keeps pulls all the way to the redline.. Maybe its just because my heavy and slow spooling "steel" bladed uk turbos, needed a kick up the ass;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steb9780 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I bet all that set you back a penny or too. Sounds good though. The car certainly spools a bit better with the CATS out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Well done mate, a BPU'd Supra really is a cracking performance car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisavila100 Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Cheers for all the good comments guys! Razza the WI helps prevent det when running higher boost,and is "supposed" to help reduce intake temps.. some say its overkill on a bpu car and some say it should be fitted to any turbo car:search: The main reason i had it fitted, is A) to be on the safe side! and B) after doing LOTS of homework on wi, it seems very good at maintaing a clean,heathy engine, and also seems very good at de carbonising engines, i read some articles where they inspected some engines before wi was fitted, and then rechecked them some thousands of miles later, and the engines looked in A1 condition, infact much cleaner than at the first inspection:search: All i know is it will not do any harm! so should gain me something.. The basic aqua mist 1 kit is around £325 + fitting.. so not bad really, if it does what alot of people say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
