Horse Power Upgrade.

I'm looking at Supras and wondering if you lot might be able to suggest a 'kit' to get some horse power on the go up to the two grand mark?

Cheers.

Are you looking at an NA supra or TT supra? Horsepower gains (and their methods) are different for each.

I don't think there's any sort of 'kit' available. If TT then BPU is what you're after (click the word BPU for details).

Some would argue if you're after making your car quicker A-B then spending money on brakes/suspension/reducing weight is just as effective rather than adding raw bhp (esp effective on NA cars due to cost of adding bhp).

Might be worth buying one first and seeing how you get on, how do you know you need more power ?

I think some of the traders do sell BPU kits for the TT... contains things like fuel pump, exhaust etc...

Everyone NEEDS more power - doesn't matter if you can use it or not...

Yep, get a TT mate and I'll make you a Restrictor Ring for a trade price of £1,200 and someone else can supply the decat pipes, fuel pump, colder plugs etc!

No, as mentioned it does depend on what model you're looking for and what power gains your after. The NA will take a substantial amount of money to get more power out of it following a BPU upgrade. Then again, same for the TT if you want to go down the Single Turbo route.

TT I'm after - Hopefully in manual, en all.

...So this BPU... would be how much, lads?

Thanks again.

click bpu

even better you will not find another car that has the hp per £ value as a BPU supe.

Thats why I want to go down this route Daston, my friend.

Edit: What does the BPU do to the 0-60 time and top end speed?

That is a US company, the US spec Supra is quite different to the J-spec Supra and so your BPU requirements are different.

The company in question also doesn't have a very good reputation amongst the Supra community.

Could you recommend a J-Spec BPU kit?

Try these choices

Tanabe touring or HKS superdragger exhaust, both give good power but not too noisey.

If its jap, HKS decat pipe or UK see Chris Wilson.

Blitz SBC series boost controller or HKS EVC to control the boost level. Run a max of 16.5 Psi and it will go very nicely and reliable.

Blitz LM panel filter

HKS type S FMIC (front mounted intercooler)

Walbro pump

Thor speed/ boost limit remover box.

Denso Ik 24 plugs.

Easy way to good horse power.

I have used or currently own these items and can vouch for the quality.

Shop around, you ought to get that lot for £2K if you get the right deal.

Could you recommend a J-Spec BPU kit?

You will want:

1 x cat back exhaust

2 x decat pipes

1 x restrictor ring

6 x cooler grade spark plugs

1 x boost gauge

1 x Fuel Cut Defender (FCD)

Optional, but recommended.

1 x fuel pump

1 x fuel filter

1 x Exhaust Gas Temp (EGT) Gauge

1 x boost controller

I can supply all parts except the decat pipes and restrictor ring (these you could get from Chris Wilson.

Cheers.

have a look here, you have to add vat to the price tho.
