How much for a TT BPU conversion

Hi

I'm sure its been covered before but how much is it to have my NA supra converted to a TT lump with BPU?

I'm after around 400bhp to be happy. Is that the normal figure BPU gets?

cheers

Sell it, add the money that you are willing to pay for the conversion and buy a tt!

That's the most sensible thing you've said on here yet

Why thankyou

I can understand why he wants the conversion? because his car is nice.

I think a TT engine conversion is £2,500 if I am correct? Maybe more if you have a manual & need to change the gearbox & clutch...

then your looking at nearly double that.

Going BPU is cheaper... around £700 - £1000?

These are just rough prices, don't quote me on it.

And hit the search button. It has been covered loads

i found an NA that i like stylingwise so i've got that.now its turbo time. Its already a manual so thats some of the bill off. I wont be going any higher than BPU or BPU+ as changing the turbo's isn't likely.

How much are the engines to buy?It must be quite a simple job to slot it in surely???'

Hunt around the internet, exhaust every Possibility before you start

Out of interest what's the difference between BPU and BPU+?

not quite as easy as 'slot in' but not that hard either. i got my conversion complete for 1700 (not fitted)

To the OP - a lot depends on whether it's manual or auto price wise.

The + signs were something that Suprastore (who tried to tradmark BPU, but failed) as part of their sales packages for the BPU mods. They promised addition HP by adding cam gears and the like, but in reality we know that they make no difference to power.

And he says - "Well yeah. I was just sitting here, eating my muffin, drinking my coffee, when I had what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity."

its a manual and will be staying a manual. I'm guessing thats cheaper

Cost of BPU from my experience this week;

Whifbitz UK Double-Decat £215

Whifbitz Uprated SMIC £460

GReddy Cut Control Defender £85

Gizmo Boost Controller/Gauge £200

NGK Grade 7 colder spark plugs £60

+ fitting costs

If going from N/A > TT engine conversion route, I'd say try and source the correct uprated intercooler (side mounted or front mounted) as you go. This will save you having to buy twice!

5spd or 6spd?

VERY important when considering this. The W58 5spd will spit itself at BPU power levels, the diff is at similar risk.

From keron ( who will be on you doorstep no doubt in leicester) , last time I looked he was charging £1700 for the conversion kit ( engine loom ecu etc) minus a clutch, Or £2300 fitted plus you have to buy a clutch ( most will recommend an a rps clutch for this or southbend!) which will setup you back somewhere inbetween £300-500, bpu your looking at another grand at least i'd say to do properly! Bewarned at full bpu theres been a few w58 boxes that decided self detenations the best option!

Oh dear i dont want a dead box but i do want a turbo conversion. I understand i will need a better clutch to take the power which is no problem.

When you say full BPU is that not BPU+ or BPU++

I was only thinking of changing the engine and clutch, having the cats removed (quoted £50 from my local powerflow specialist) and fitting a restrictor ring and the boost cut thing. I thought thats all i would need...maybe a fuel pump.

I doubt id even bother with an FMIC as the standard 1 should be more than up to the job for what i want shouldn't it?

This is the most popular kit provided by Whifbitz. It's the safest because you have indication with a boost controller. Click

Stage 2 kit is nearly 300 quid less.

If your smic is in good nick ok. Most have seen better days though. It may be wise to save up for a quality replacement or look at a fmic kit, also provided by Whifbitz if necessary.

Full BPU is BPU, BPU+/++ are just marketing ploys by a store.

If you went for a standard TT lump, your box might survive a fair while. At BPU, it may survive, it may not, but I would start saving for an uprated gearbox if BPU is really what you want.

You will need to buy a SMIC or FMIC, as a non-turbo will not have one.

As far as im aware the BPU + was FMIC and BPU ++ was FMIC and ECU.

But as alex said all a marketing ploy

Nope, if you want to see what it originally was go to suprastore.com

I stand corrected. Nice figure they give for BPU tho...........

Didnt know they managed to trade mark BPU also

They didn't. it's a lie.

I thought the coulndt manage it either but it was on the site next to BPU. Ach well the power figure is a lie also.

130bhp over stock.....................

would i gain any power with smaller cheap mods like ditching the air con pump or modified belt pulleys etc?
