paul mac Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 i have been in Rob Wilds car and the shift pretty much feels like stock, however i decided to go with the emanage ultimate due to all the stuff written about bad gear changes etc with the AEM, however as i run a BL box i may reconsider, good info Ryan, good luck with the car Matt you deserve some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Good luck Matt i'm sure things will go well for you with Michel at the helm. Have you got a budget or is it a blank cheque book, i would suggest setting a figure you want to spend then it's your choice if it goes over budget. I'm sure you will enjoy the 500+ feel of a supra Any plans on taking it up the 1/4 mile strip at Pod when it's done? Price has been set and agreed upon already so its all good in that department. Yeah definately, when i get the chance, went to suprapod the other year when my car was in TF, just missed out on that one. Definately on my to do list. Good luck with it Matt Ta Good Luck Matt, hope it goes to plan Ta Hey well he owes us all a 10 from when he had the hybrids so with this new single setup a 9 should be a breeze for Matt Well i distinctly remember i said i wanted below 12 with 451bhp, high 11's. You can think 10 if you like But either way, should be blitzing you up the strip soon i have been in Rob Wilds car and the shift pretty much feels like stock, however i decided to go with the emanage ultimate due to all the stuff written about bad gear changes etc with the AEM, however as i run a BL box i may reconsider, good info Ryan, good luck with the car Matt you deserve some Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hope it goes well this time matt, and look after her:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Matt, you crazy Hope everything goes to plan this time round, no doubt it will though with the car being in Michel's hands, he certainly knows what he's doing. Has he taken you out in his yet? I'm still smiling from being in that car, felt like I was getting back into a milk float after though.

Pig Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Im glad you have finally come round to the single world matt. Was sick of hearing about how you want to stick with the secquential setup because you like the way it drives and dont like singles. Look forward to saying the same thing when you go 6 speed.

tDR Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well i distinctly remember i said i wanted below 12 with 451bhp, high 11's. You can think 10 if you like But either way, should be blitzing you up the strip soon Might I direct you to these posts: What part of your spec makes you think you'll be on for 11's Well if yours can do 11's i reckon ill be on for 10's Posted on this thread. Back peddling much? I look forward to our duels on the 1/4 mile - more constructive than on here and waaay more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra matt Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Guys will explain the situ when i get back from Leeds tomorrow as just got back from the dyno now and leaving for leeds at 6am tomorrow. But the short answer is, With the BL boxes they seem to behave as they should due to line pressure differences. Ryan No need to explain mate i see the difference now did not no rob was running bl box , I no you told me about the stock sensors were not computable with the aem as different line pressurs .

rob wild Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Personally I found the AEM/EMU + Autobox(BL/Stock) + Single + High stall in this thread quite interesting may be a kind mod could place it here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=2116461#post2116461 Just for others maybe considering this setup Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well Ryan Mapped mine on the EMU and did a top job at it too. As far as the changes of the gearing goes i would say i cant tell any difference from Toyota's stock setup (which is a good thing). Certainly no hesitation. Other then that the car pulls faster due to increase in power. Only thing i would say about the Auto's that annoy me slightly, is that i feel it could change a little higher up the rev band personally and perhaps maximise power? Power delivery is better mind compared to before Ryan mapped it. I'd be intrested to hear of your results Matt. Without being in the know, i wouldnt have thought jumping 50 bhp odd would be much of a difference. Pardon my ignorance, but will you not notice less of a difference then from going stock to BPU?

Well the thing is it was mapped by a cowboy, and whether or not it actually ran 451bhp on my hybrid set up i'll never know for sure. It wasn't any tinkering higher up the rev range.

Axle Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Matt, did you go from stock to Bpu? Or did you buy your car as it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Matt, did you go from stock to Bpu? Or did you buy your car as it was? Bought my car almost stock. It wasn't BPU but had second CAT removed + walbro pumps etc. Then i went BPU++ (Hybrids with high boost, injectors, front mount etc). I've taken it through every change.

Axle Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I see. Are you not going to put it on the Rollers before you throw all this money at it, just so you atleast know how much of a difference its all made. Unless youd rather not know?

Unless youd rather not know? you wont need a dyno to tell you the difference between BPU and a single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Did you go from BPU to single then Paul? I still think would be nice to get an idea of the power hike your paying for. Personally speaking anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I might be wrong but I dont think Matts gearbox is up to a full dyno run hence the new box going in so a comparison will be difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'll be doing a manual conversion before I go single, so will have it dyno'd before and after for a comparison. I had it on a hub dyno a few months ago but the auto box wasn't filling me with confidence in the readings. Initially the reading was at almost 2000 in torque, and the fans went absolutely mental. It was the first time they'd had an auto on the new dyno, so I think most of the adjustments were guess work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 My autobox let go on the dyno at 550bhp last year, I went 6 speed for strength but I do miss the auto in traffic I have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'm going to miss mine too. At full throttle it's also really good as the changes are so quick and smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Did you go from BPU to single then Paul? I still think would be nice to get an idea of the power hike your paying for. Personally speaking anyway. yes i did and it would have been a nice to have but as the local dyno didn't know the first thing about doing autos but offered to "have a go" they didn't fill me with confidence, so i waited till it was finished and then got it set up on an auto friendly dyno some miles away, on the subject of auto boxs i do find it a bit dissapointing that so many feel them as second class to the 6 speed, to me they both have strengths / weaknesses but in most road situations an auto is just as good and indeed in some situations can be (if i dare say it) better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
