Cheap Supra for someone.

Bonus of a very expensive Motec M800 ecu

I want those wheels back so much. That's a real bargain.

Works fine here

470bhp?!

I editted it - they had a little server problem.

Blimey! Take the wheels and ECU out, sell the car again for more than you paid... then grin

damn it why did i buy mine ?

sounds like a trick bit of kit and so cheap too

Install a Motec ecu for 170bhp gain! lol

The Motec is worth £900 to a grand all day long, so with some messing and a stock ecu the car becomes one of the mythical sub 4K TT's I speak of sometimes If they haven't passworded the map and it runs properly, you get a free, but saleable map for an m800 in a MKIV as well.

Was on ebay last week, didn't sell obviously. The guy is also a member on here.

Comes with a magic tree too, sweet!

It has a lot of decent mods on it...my question is, why so cheap for all that money spent on that Supra??

ahhh that must be what give its 470bhp on stock turbos

That's cheap!

y so cheap, turbos are running parallel appartently, not always a good move. usually some thing that cheap i wudnt look twice at cuz i expect some thing dodgy? its easier to sell a car slightly over prices than stupidly under priced

it does have some reasonable bits on but your average punter does not give a stuff about a Motec ecu and TBH neither would i on a stock turbo car (apart from re-sale), what they do care about is mileage, overall condition, servicing etc, to be blunt the guy is not doing himself any favours, £500 would have tidied the car up and probably commanded a higher price, as an enthusiast buying the car the questions i would ask are what boost has the guy been running to get the kind of power figures he is "claiming" and hence what is the condition of a very expensive engine to pop

Thats appealing at that price, very

Is anyone able to get me a pic of an M800 today? I'm going to pick this car up tomorrow, basically to revert it to stock and keep the Motec for my own car for when I go mega-single one day.

I do however want to be sure of what I'm getting

It does strike me as a little odd to have such an ECU in what is basically a stock car, that's all!

Try and knock him down on the price, you never know;)

Ah so it will be quite obvious then if it's bright gold *grin*

Yeah I think I may be able to get a few quid off as well, because he's now saying there's an intermittent starting problem where it will just click click click sometimes but be fine other times.

Possibly starter motor refurb time?

it's possible that this supra 'used' to have a big spec, single turbo, hybrids etc and was then put back to stock, check the interior for holes where gauges could have been previously placed

Even more strange that they wouldn't revert back the single most expensive part then

Since it has stock injectors I am betting that I can drop a stock auto ECU back in no problems.

Hmmm. I can't find any confirmation that the M800 controls the auto gearbox - but in this car, it must be, surely?

in a way for hassle, but if it did have a big spec you'll get more money back in parts than selling the car with all the bits on

Give Owen developments a ring if they indeed did fit and tune it for £3700 then they will have a record of that. Also for the gear box you'll find they may have piggy backed the stock ECU to drive the box which would mean theres still a stock ecu in it as well..

It seems that it's the car in this thread:

So basically he's selling it for what he paid for it 8 months ago (yeah.. he won't be getting the full amount :D)

Also, the dyno plots are there:

Now, this suggests 395BHP tops, well that's fine for BPU and gives me more bargaining power as it's not 470 is it.

The thing that I just don't understand though is the 3rd plot where it seems to suggest it's plotting RPM versus boost. Can someone take a look at it for me, please?

Peak boost at 4250 ish RPM seems to be a shade under 230Kpa... which is 2.3 bar! W.T.F.? Or am I missing some sort of absolute vs relative pressure type thing here?
