mikeyb10supra Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 a guy at work owns a vvt-i aristo and has challenged me to a freindly race. He is BPU with pure meth injection and I am ful BPU with a front mount + BOV. Were both auto as well Now I think I will still win and obviously he thinks he will. Anyone else have any views on the possible outcome Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 would be pretty even both cars would have simular sorts of power, not sure about weight tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You are lighter, just about, you should win. But it'll be more down to the driver I expect, does he know how to power-brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 what type of race? is it a proper race round a track or just wanting to see who can get to 100 quickest? my views on the possible outcome are : (1) you will 'win' (2) he will 'win' (3) neither will 'win' hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You could cheat and drop the gearing and wipe up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 You could cheat and drop the gearing and wipe up. that sounds like a plan although somewhat expensive and probably too much grief for one race also would it not mess with the stock ECU settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 take all the seats except for yours out of the car and reduce the tyre pressure you should have him easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 have you not got a mate with a similar looking car with a single in it that you could use for the race;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I think you will have him but it will be close, he has a bit more weight to shift though, I am so impressed with the way a stock TT pulls and may take both the single and stock TT to the pod this year, very tempting to turn the stock car to BPU, the standard TT set up is so much fun on the road IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 As I've owned and driven a few of both, the Aristo will be very surprising quick On the lakes runs a couple of years ago, my BPU (1.1bar) Aristo could easily match/make a little ground on a 1.2 bar BPU Supra. The Supra driver was pretty surprised that he couldn't shake me! Hopefully you have better skills behind the wheel, because you'll need them! Gaz.

Sheefa Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I reckon you will take him. Will the addition of a new (ish) FMIC your intake temps should be lower, turbo spool should be good and you could always ramp up the boost to say 1.3-1.4 tops if you have a BC? (how old is his car and is it a crumbly SMIC?) I would imagine the weight savings would put you in a better stead to. Curb Weight for Supra around 1580kg for the TT and between 1,620 to 1,955 (varies by model) for the Aristo. Will be fun none-the-less Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those boost levels are fine for a quick blast!! I know they'll be running around 100% duty on the ceramics but J-specs run slightly rich anyway and I'm sure if you gave it some WOT at 1.3 bar for a good 2-3 mins all would be fine..........I hope.......for his sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't advise going over this TBH unless in very special circumstances, none of which are mentioned Agreed, I wouldn't 'advise' it at all. I wasn't running more than 1.3 on Hybrids because of the weedy J-spec 440's so keeping within the limits is a good idea. ......Try stripping out the car instead then Mikey!
