Johnny176 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hey guys, Ive had my supra 3 days now and im unsure what is normal as theres no supra's in my area. I used to drive a 2004 EP3 Type R and when you gave it boot at low revs it would build up with decent power between 3 - 5.8k rpm then there was a kick when the VTEC hit and the car would scream right up to the limiter at about 8.4k. In the supra I hear a slight whistle if i kinda feather the throttle around 2k and my HKS EVC3 boot controller goes from negative boost or vacuum I guess to moving about just above or below the 0, when planted theres a slight 1/2 seconds delay before it takes off. Boost is about 0.9 bar then at 4k theres a surge forward and boost hits about 1.1 bar - no kick just noticable increase in power but at about 6k it seems to run outta steam and the boost seems to drop to about 1 bar. It still accelerates quickly but it seems to have a reduced pace at around the 6k rpm mark. It doesnt rip to the red like the Civic did, is this normal or is something funny going on? Thanks, Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Sounds normal to me mate, that BPU for you. if you think about it, if you go against a EP3 type R head to head you'd be light years ahead of him before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Stock cams run out of puff after 6krpm, some mild HKS ones will make it cheerfully run up to the redline, but you'd be advised to get some electronics to add more fuel in that area because of this.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 you exist after all, i have tried to pm you and emailing you waiting for payment after invoice sent. a pm out of courtesy would of been nice mate as i kept the car for you and waited and put buyers off. but it looks like you have one now.

Johnny176 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks guys, just thought I'd ask as I haven't been a passenger in a supra either so was unsure as to what was normal. Also sorry Jurgen, I had went away with work a few days later for a week and didn't really get back to looking till a while after. I assumed I had missed my chance by leaving you hanging. Sorry for the inconvenience and my lack of response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 no worries mate enjoy your new supra ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Sounds like you need a bigger turbo (and to qualify my comment before I get shot down in flames, with all the associated upgrades to fuelling and valvetrain etc.).
