tunning

[paul gtir]

hi guys what is the best thing for me to start madifing on a suppra tt auto i plan to go to around 500-600bhp
oviosly i need to sort suspenshion and brakes out but were do i start on the engine i am going to use standard interneals to start with and if it goes bang i shall upgrade with forged parts but the car will not be driven everyday

what is a good single turbo kit to buy
what size injectores and fueling is needed
which interccoler
whice ecu
and what will a standard auto gearbox take before it breaks
what is the weak link with the supra
and finaly which is the best place to buy these from

sorry for all the qeustions but i am new to this

thanks

Well if you stick with the stock box then i'd look into the T61 with 650injectors and an Emange. Burt has just installed a 61 on his auto which had over 500bhp. B'have also has one i belive. I'm sure if you stick "auto t61" in the search you'll find loads of great info :D

There's lots of info on this around, the search button will help find most of it plus also check out the technical faq's.

From what I've read the stock auto is good for up to 500bhp (I also believe this is crank and not rwhp.

Also is it a UK or J-Spec you've got.

Hey welcome guy.

[paul gtir]

brillant guys did not notice the search button like a nob but i shall have a look now
is there a section on this forum were i can view other members cars if so how do i get to it or shall i just do a search
thanks lads as i dont no much about supras as i am only used to nissans

Welcome,

Check the members garages, most have a link in their profile.


Good luck with your tuning ;)

thankyou mate much apreicated i have just read a few post and it seems like the t61 is quite a good turbo for the power i am looking for as i still want to drive it on the road and i think around 500-600bhp will be about the max for road use as i dont want it to turn out like my pulsar with 500+bhp which is not realy much use for everyday use

thanks guys the tunning wont be starting for a while yet just doing my research before spending my money
i hope to get to a few meets at some point and talk to a few owners running good power and possibly go for a quick ride with them just so i can make sure i dont by something that is to powrerfull or not powrerfull enough

hi mate not bought a supra at the minute as i am still looking for the right one
what is the diffrence between the uk-j-spec
cheres paul

[tbourner]

If you can find a good UK spec you won't need to upgrade the brakes, but the other differences (except maybe the fuel pump - do people keep the stock pump with T61s?) are pretty irrelevant if you're going single, as you'd be changing it all whether it's UK or jap anyway.

[JohnA]

Yeah, if you're going for 600bhp or over then it doesn't matter much if it's JSpec or not.
Just get one with the big brakes to save the hassle of swapping an extra thing.

If you're going for 400-500 then the waters are pretty murky --- it would then depend on price/age/condition of each car.
A good UK example can see a bit over 500bhp without swapping too many bits (if done properly, and even then it's a stretch)

500-600 is a different call, each car has to be judged on it's merits then.
The UKSpec will need less hanky-panky with the ECU to work reasonably well with a small single (that you'll probably need for such power)

[tbourner]

Can you try and use some punctuation as well please, Paul? It's quite frustrating trying to work out where the breaks in your paragraphs should be!

It will be unless you spend a fair amount on it

thanks guys the tunning wont be starting for a while yet just doing my research before spending my money


How much are you looking to spend?

[paul gtir]

thanks for the feedback lads its very usfull sorry about my spelling it,s not my strong point

i am looking to spend around £10-15k on the engine and ecu
i will problay upgrade the brakes anyway just to be on the safe side

thanks lads

Unless you're into serious track day usage, the standard UK brakes are more that adequate (These bigger brakes were optional on the early jspec cars).

With £10-15k to spend you will have plenty to build a full spec engine including a standalone ECU.

I recommend you keep a grand or two aside for suspension work. These cars are getting on now so unless its been recently done, you should budget to replace some bits (Bushes, dampers, roll bar links, track rods ends, etc) and then a full allignment. No point in spending £15k on an engine and have dodgy handling!
