Chiefgroover Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 It would usually be the case from my observations (not this case) that the less experienced Supra owners are likely to be excited and get a bit happy with the BHP figures. Do you remember how excitied you were with your first Supra days? How about a note @ the new members section advising "dont post BHP without a dyno sheet".?

DARETT Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 It would indeed mate. He may have taken the easy option though and has added an Aeromotive FPR or something - I hear they add an extra 50BHP:D Turbo Technics Blue engine hosing adds 35 more:taped: My polished cam covers streamline the engine bay by all accounts and are worth an extra 30 horses - I bet you thickies didn't know that:Pling: I think we've all been had.

Thats over 150bhp gain! I'm thinking of fitting 4 or five of these little beauties, just not sure if I need to rebuild the block with all that extra power... Car should be close to the 10's I reckon though once all 5 are fitted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The only way he could make 600bhp is if he fitted a N1boyracer EFMIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Threads like this are a personality test for some, and didnt it show some people well maybe thats what this whole thing is about. Some less experienced people need corrected and a thick ear isnt really the best way to go about it. There was a time when some of the most condescending here knew S.F.A about tuning supras and they had to learn too. Just unfortunate this guy has probably had to learn the very expensive and well conned way, in an industry where many are just there for a fast financial kill as we have seen before. If he has spent that much, trusted some sharks and got a set of average hybrids then he IMO should be shown pity. What are we here for? a boys snigger and taunt club or to help those owners who need it the most?. Thats me back in the flame path lol. Since that all seems to be aimed at me, Ill reply. ISTR a time when you shot people down just the same as a few on here have, hows it feel to be the condescending one now? I reply the way i do because it makes me laugh. The people i have met in this club and judged to be 'normal' all know that, i get on with them, and we have a bit of banter. My initial replies on this thread were harsh, but the guy was posting like we couldnt possibly know any more than this super tuner. My slightly later replies were more playful. It then became apparent that in fact he hadnt fitted a set of Hybrids in the way we know them, but in fact a set of turbos from a different car with larger wheels in them. Super, quite possible he will make the power claimed, unfortunately i had lost any respect i may have for him since he still acted like he obviously knew much better than anyone else. Hence my last few replies may appear harsher than most. Could not care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
