RobD Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Paul whiffin quoted me 1600 to 1700 for full bpu i think it was, somewhere in that region anyway lol that was fitted! Not bad I think alot of bang for your buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Fairly cheap for the gains you get mate well worth the cash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Assuming jspec: - Walbro pump: £90 - Decats: £250 - Boost gauge: £120 - Plugs: £15 - Restrictor ring: £10 - Cat back system (2nd hand): £200 - FCD: £70 Total: £755 Fitting is a breeze, the only issues can be the 1st decat as the bolts will need heat to get off. Most people just take it to their local exhaust place and give them £20 cash to do it. That'll get you 1.2bar and up to 400bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I would also get: 1) AEM AFR guage £170 ish 2) EGT guage £125 3) Check/replace (if worn) Intercooler:- Good 2nd hand £100 Just imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Would you need a FCD to stop fuel cut because of the higher boost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 yes you will get fuel cut at boost above 1 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Would you need a FCD to stop fuel cut because of the higher boost? Yeah good spot! Though there was something missing from that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Will you be looking for more power at a later date? Mine has cost the best part of £5000 but im going single slowly:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Great thread, whilst mine is stock and to be honest I'd love to keep it that way, I'm tempted to consider a 'modest' upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah mine cost about £1400 just for BPU from jap spec. All nesercery parts for BPU plus new Greedy 3 fow intercooler Now I am going for single turbo upgrade and looking at £7000-£9000 all in. Happy days.

Terminator Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Great thread, whilst mine is stock and to be honest I'd love to keep it that way, I'm tempted to consider a 'modest' upgrade. LOL:d, I am sure I have heard that before. The start of a slippery slope;) Another thing that wont cost you any money but may prevent a nasty surprise. Check all hose clips that you can get to. Some of the ones on the turbos, may be hold for stock boost, but may allow hoses to pop off at higher levels. Just nip them up so they are good and tight. You may see small amount of smoke on boost that was not there before, I think Chris Wilson refers to it as "tired turbo seal smoke". Nothing terminal, mine did it for 6 years. A check of the brake system would be a good idea, possibly some uprated pads especial if you have JDM brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I always assumed a FMIC was a part of it? Or is that BPU+? No a SMIC in "good" condition will cool the charge sufficiently for those mods. An uprated SMIC will support 500bhp, they are hard to find now but ARC and Greddy and possibly others made them. I know Chris Wilson had some made up and by all accounts very good to, as you might expect. As soon as you go FMIC, it is very hard to replicate the excellent ducting Toyota developed. You have a good chance that the ageing water cooling system will suffer as the rad is just inefficient in a reduce air flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I always assumed a FMIC was a part of it? Or is that BPU+? The "+" things are meaningless, they were dreamed up by a certain US retailer many years ago and have no reflection on actual engine performance. An FMIC is utterly pointless on a BPU car, it only serves a benefit if the stock intercooler is knackered. In most cases it'll degrade performance as near everyone fits once with no ducting. Best option is to just replace the stock one unless you plan on going for a mid-large single setup in the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Any idea how much a new stock one would be? Or is there a decent aftermarket one that would work out cheaper but just as efficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think a new stock one is near £900. The after market ones are more efficient thank stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think a new stock one is near £900. The after market ones are more efficient thank stock £450 was the last quote from Nic for a stock one. CW one would be the choice IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no I know they're not helping the performance when sitting at stage 1 sorta levels Was just curious as to what was all part of the "package" as it seems that many opt for a FMIC and I've read the "+" and "++" all over the place and didn't really know what it denoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Whifbitz seem to do a replacement intercooler, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
