Guest cliogerbil Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi I'm sure its been covered before but how much is it to have my NA supra converted to a TT lump with BPU? I'm after around 400bhp to be happy. Is that the normal figure BPU gets? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprastar380bhp Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Sell it, add the money that you are willing to pay for the conversion and buy a tt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I think a TT engine conversion is £2,500 if I am correct? Maybe more if you have a manual & need to change the gearbox & clutch... then your looking at nearly double that. Going BPU is cheaper... around £700 - £1000? These are just rough prices, don't quote me on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cliogerbil Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 i found an NA that i like stylingwise so i've got that.now its turbo time. Its already a manual so thats some of the bill off. I wont be going any higher than BPU or BPU+ as changing the turbo's isn't likely. How much are the engines to buy?It must be quite a simple job to slot it in surely???'

dcarrter21 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 not quite as easy as 'slot in' but not that hard either. i got my conversion complete for 1700 (not fitted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 To the OP - a lot depends on whether it's manual or auto price wise. Out of interest what's the difference between BPU and BPU+? The + signs were something that Suprastore (who tried to tradmark BPU, but failed) as part of their sales packages for the BPU mods. They promised addition HP by adding cam gears and the like, but in reality we know that they make no difference to power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cliogerbil Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 its a manual and will be staying a manual. I'm guessing thats cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Cost of BPU from my experience this week; Whifbitz UK Double-Decat £215 Whifbitz Uprated SMIC £460 GReddy Cut Control Defender £85 Gizmo Boost Controller/Gauge £200 NGK Grade 7 colder spark plugs £60 + fitting costs If going from N/A > TT engine conversion route, I'd say try and source the correct uprated intercooler (side mounted or front mounted) as you go. This will save you having to buy twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 its a manual and will be staying a manual. I'm guessing thats cheaper 5spd or 6spd? VERY important when considering this. The W58 5spd will spit itself at BPU power levels, the diff is at similar risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 From keron ( who will be on you doorstep no doubt in leicester) , last time I looked he was charging £1700 for the conversion kit ( engine loom ecu etc) minus a clutch, Or £2300 fitted plus you have to buy a clutch ( most will recommend an a rps clutch for this or southbend!) which will setup you back somewhere inbetween £300-500, bpu your looking at another grand at least i'd say to do properly! Bewarned at full bpu theres been a few w58 boxes that decided self detenations the best option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cliogerbil Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Oh dear i dont want a dead box but i do want a turbo conversion. I understand i will need a better clutch to take the power which is no problem. When you say full BPU is that not BPU+ or BPU++ I was only thinking of changing the engine and clutch, having the cats removed (quoted £50 from my local powerflow specialist) and fitting a restrictor ring and the boost cut thing. I thought thats all i would need...maybe a fuel pump. I doubt id even bother with an FMIC as the standard 1 should be more than up to the job for what i want shouldn't it?

This is the most popular kit provided by Whifbitz. It's the safest because you have indication with a boost controller. Click Stage 2 kit is nearly 300 quid less. If your smic is in good nick ok. Most have seen better days though. It may be wise to save up for a quality replacement or look at a fmic kit, also provided by Whifbitz if necessary.

Full BPU is BPU, BPU+/++ are just marketing ploys by a store. If you went for a standard TT lump, your box might survive a fair while. At BPU, it may survive, it may not, but I would start saving for an uprated gearbox if BPU is really what you want. You will need to buy a SMIC or FMIC, as a non-turbo will not have one.

Guest cliogerbil Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 would i gain any power with smaller cheap mods like ditching the air con pump or modified belt pulleys etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
