Newbie question

I've been reading quite a few threads now and i keep coming across this "BPU". I've noticed if i move my curser over it there is a brief explination but could someone maybe go into a bit of detail for me as its confusing when reading some threads.

Thanks

Should help you mate!

That was superb, thanks very much.

It was when someone said "Thats the perfect BPU" i got confused. Surely the perfect BPU is everything listed in there? lol

Thanks again

I could try and give you my opinions on what makes a perfect BPU Supe, but mines mechanically stock as stock can be, so I'd be making it all up Plus being under 25, the insurers would have a field day with my money for a BPU Supe

I've read a few threads from people having just gone BPU and they all say that the car is more responsive and obviously pulls even more like a train than they do stock. I think they're plenty quick enough as they come, but given it's got 200bhp more than anything I've driven before, that's not surprising

A stock car seems slow after driving a BPU one.

Infact you get so used to it that the BPU car isn't that exhilarating anymore.

But when you get in normal car it feels as though it's broken.

So i could class my MR2 as being BPU? De-cat, FCD, boost turned up etc? If the differene in the sup is the same as a standard MR2 to one with those simple mods it must be unreal. Not just in BHP but the torque and spool up time.

It feels like a monster, especially from standstill with the window down. The noise is fantastic especially in enclosed spaces.

Pretty much fella. Considering the relatively small financial outlay for BPU the increase in power is awesome (70-80 bhp).

What kind of power do you get on the MR2 Turbo with the same mods?

I've sold my TT to go travelling but when I come back I was looking into getting either a Gen 6 GT4 or a Rev3 MR2 Turbo.

Depending on how much cash I have left!

Its all guestimates with my car as i have never RR'd it. Speaking to the guys on IMOC they reckoned i should have anywhere between 260 and 280bhp at the flywheel but there is only really one way to tell. Mines is a Rev2 and a healthy one of those standard on optimax should have 220bhp so there is a possible 60bhp increase.

I'm pretty sure with a rev3 you can easily hit the 300 horses mark without breaking the bank. As with all cars, its when you want to cross that line it becomes costly. Its a better turbo and you are starting from 240 instead of 220 thanks to the better ECU and larger injectors.

Hi mate,

I see your in strathclyde, where abouts?? Im down in Sunny Kilwinning. Are you selling your Mr2 to come over to the dark side?? Or you sticking with the MR2??

G.

I live near glasgow, place called larkhall.

Yeah its my no.1 option at the moment. Will be a while though as i've got a lot of money going out at the moment but at the end of the year i'll probably sell up, add a bit of dough and be on the lookout.

Cheers

I've been told I'll get used to it stock and be craving more, but that's yet to happen. I can see if happening though if I'm completely honest....

If any of you guys with a BPU happens to live down south and is planning on going to the Basingstoke meet on Sunday, I'll be after a ride to see the difference

Yea i know where Larkhall is, one of my work mates lives in that area. If you wana ride/shot in a BPU car give us a shout.

Excellent mate, thanks very much for the offer! I'll probably take you up when the roads are a bit more driveable and you can take me for a spin and show me what she can do.

Cheers
