edd_t Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 After 3 years of Supra ownership and a lot of money saving. I decided it was time to go BPU on the car. I took the Supe in to Whifbitz a couple of Fridays ago and picked it up during the week. So all this weekend I've been blasting around having fun and seeing what the Supe can now do. First thing they did was a full service with top products and a cambelt change (as I had no record of this being done) I had the Whifbitz stage 4 performance pack fitted, including an Apexi Power intake, HKS SSQV and HKS Super Dragger. Also had some Defi din gauges and a Defi boosy gauge fitted to. All for a very reasonable price At the moment I havnt taken the boost controller out of its 'low' settings, so when I crank it up to high 1.2 i'll probably sh!t myself woohoo! So big thanks to Whifbitz, especially Darren as he did all the work. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 ive recently upgraded to a TT lump, and went straight to BPU so im not sure what it was like before. how does it compare? Darren certainly knows his stuff too. hes worked on my car a few times now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Its a major difference, but then my engine wasnt tip top before I gave it to them, as I found out someone had bodge some breather pipes so it wasnt working great but the acceleration now, especially in 3rd gear as the 2nd tubby kicks in is crazy! And like I said, I havnt even taken it up to 1.2 bar yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Congrats I still remember taking mine down to Chris Wilson's to have it serviced and BPU'd... in particular I remember pulling off the roundabout and flooring it in 3rd down the motorway slip road on the way home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 yep a massive difference.....I noticed straight away the back side coming unstuck a lot more when up to 1.2bar, factually felt like a quick car compared to sock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 So how are you keeping the boost down below 1.2 bar? Smaller restrictor rings and then tweaking it up with a controller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Nice one. Had mine done at Whifbitz too. Enjoy the transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 So how are you keeping the boost down below 1.2 bar? Smaller restrictor rings and then tweaking it up with a controller? no idea (thats bad I know) i just bought the kit, I have a little button that when I press it, it jumps from low to high, simple things like that make me happy. Great nice one Edd, im thinking of going BPU...well, (the rest of it anyway) how much did you pay Edd if you dont mind me asking... I think the fitting of the kit costs around £400 (found that on another thread) I had all that other work done so I cant give you an exact figure really. Cheers everyone else for the congrats and stuff (its like I have a new baby, lol) Took the GF for a spin in it yesterday, I'm not quite sure at what point but all I heard was "OK THATS ENOUGH" at 1000 decibels in my ear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Congratulations mate ... I was at Whifbitz last year for full BPU ... and this year, in may, my car was back there for single conversion ... you see what you have to do As for the boost controller ... I never used it on low boost ... neither on BPU nor single ... put it on high boost and floor it ... that's fun ... specially the first time you do it (and that you are not used to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
