Homer Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's been done before, but is an expensive and ultimately worthless modification. BPu with a proper restrictor is the way to do things. Why do you keep trying to do things different to the way 99% of supra owners have done BPU in a tried and tested manner? Just sort the fucking restrictor ring out and get do whats already been suggested to you. Many, many times. I'm seriously pissed off that you are now ignoring all the advice I tried to provide you, it took a lot of time (and patience) to help you in the last thread, now it seems you didn't take on board a word of that.

DAT Inter Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 For the love of all things holy. Why cant u buy a 5 bob restrictor ring? How does that saying go, "In one ear..." - Doesnt even get that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinitom Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 nothing to do with me, but in general for big twins single etc etc! just an idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 nothing to do with me, but in general for big twins single etc etc! just an idea! For big twins and singles you would have a correctly sized wastegate and control boost properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinitom Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 ---------I'm seriously pissed off that you are now ignoring all the advice I tried to provide you, it took a lot of time (and patience) to help you in the last thread, now it seems you didn't take on board a word of that. Basic Performance Upgrade The BPU upgrades allow the engine to produce more power by raising the boost pressure the turbos produce. -------- I’m not ignoring what you say!! this is only one idea, instead people trying different sizes will by nice have something like this, you will not need get under the car 2/3 times to get the one right for your setting! i believe not everyone are mechanical inclined to remove cats/decats, and then have to pay to get things sorted! it was just one idea to save money and time! just that!

It's tried and tested and works. Just do what I said before and it WILL be fine unless you bugger something up by messing with other items.

Tricky-Ricky Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I can tell you from experience that what you have made a pic of is the same design as the Apexi exhaust valve, a device for quietening the level of noise from the exhaust, and i can tell you categorically that its not possible to effectively control boost with any accuracy, believe me as i have one fitted. Both when i was BPU and now single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) De-cat exhaust , FIT restrictor ring, FIT boost controller, FIT boost gauge, PUT on rolling road check all is well. Forgot to add fuel cut defender,and listening to people who have already done it . Edited March 19, 2009 by snake (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 De-cat exhaust , FIT restrictor ring, FIT boost controller, FIT boost gauge, PUT on rolling road check all is well. the restrictor ring is just to stop you overboosting and spitting the turbos out of the exhaust am i not correct? (i dont have one as i have a uk spec). So you fit one, See what you boost to. Then if its not enough you fit a boost controller to raise it. Its not brain science.

Animal Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 He's on about ignoring the very straightforward, tried & tested methods of controlling boost with a RESTRICTOR RING, used successfully for donkeys years and trying to use what appears to be a butterfly valve (like the Apexi ACV) to control the size of the aperture. There's another thread somewhere of Homer and others repeating the same advice for a good 3 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
