philstowell Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Im not overly mechanicle minded yet, so if someone wants to look at this it might be of someones use to some one? http://www.ultimateresourceguides.com/content/freemods/toyota-supra-freemods.html how many some ones in that?

miko_supra Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 well for about 5 bhp it certainly all sounds logical and believable. although i cant really see myself rushing to angle my sparkplugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstowell Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 what, you wouldnt rush for 5 hp ha ha, cheers bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Erm... the first clue is when he talks about IAT sensor moving... However, there is a way to "trick" the engine computer into thinking that the incoming air is a little cooler than it really is, and therefore get the ECU to advance the timing a small amount and increase fuel supply at the same time. At that point, I stopped reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Presumably there is somewhere a dyno that can reliably measure a one hp difference between two pulls ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I have no idea yet, just thought id put it on anyway? Nothing wrong with asking if it is a good idea or not, to be fair a few of us have seen these things before hence the short response Mods like those described in the above article are generally not a good idea.

RobSheffield Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 The throttle body heater one isnt THAT rubbish, but im not convinced you will see 5hp from it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 wow that guy managed to do something that the Toyota techs missed! Someone forward this to toyota no doubt they will pay him 100ks a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Modification Number One: Index Your Plugs Total b*llocks Modification Number Two: Insulate Fuel Lines Not sure what the theory is here and whether colder fuel helps it atomise better. The fuel line into the fuel rail is away from heat sources anyway so can't see how it would make any difference. Modification Number Three: Relocate IAT Sensor I laughed at this one, what a stupid thing to do! Modification Number Four: Synthetic Oil Can't see how this will help gain power, but I'm sure we all use synthetic oil anway Modification Number Five: Increase H2O Ratio In Coolant The engine tempurature is controlled by the thermostat anyway, so unless you have an overheating problem (i.e. something else wrong) it won;t make any difference Modification Number Six: Throttle Body Coolant Bypass Another one that made me laugh - he said it only makes an improvement when the engine is cool - who the heck is going to start ragging the car with the engine cold! However, it might make a tiny difference on a high powered single conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
