steve.m Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Glad you had a safe journey Luc, the car is looking very clean considering the miles you've done. I'm also seeing far too much white in that workshop, I think Lee's OCD has him working on cars in colour order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I found some old and recent engine bay pics on my computer. Had a good smile when looking at them. Full BPU in 2007 2008 : My first single kit : PHR Stage 1 In 2010, the turbo was replaced by a BW 91-79 unit. It made 626 bhp on SRR at 1.5 bar of boost In 2011, a new intake plenum with adjustable cam gears took the power to 651 rhhp on TDi hub dyno / boost was 1.8 bar. In 2013, built 3.0 engine with the BL366 turbo. It pushed 747 rhhp on AME hub dyno at 1.5 bar of boost. Pictures of the new 6766 turbo and engine bay begining of 2014 Edited March 26, 2014 by Luxluc (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Wow Luc the car really has changed over the years I suppose that's the sensible way upping the power in small increments and gradually getting used to it. I bet it's been a fun journey from bpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it's been a fun journey from bpu Well .. to be honest Kaan, I never would have imagined driving a 900bhp Supra one day. The fact that I went from 330bhp to 430bhp, then to 500bhp, 630bhp, 700+bhp and currently 800+bhp is the best way I could have imagined upping the power. The fact that I had small power increases each time made me get used to the car progressively. Even after 16 years of ownership, my Supra still puts a massive smile on my face everytime I get behind the wheel. It has almost triple the power it had in the beginning ... thinking about that is simply crazy :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Epic progression! Car has come a long way! Glad it's still bringing a smile to your face! Cheers mate. Oh yes it does. The first time I saw one was in a local Toyota Garage : it was a silver 6 speed targa roof. This was in 1993 and I was 18 years old. I told my mum that I would get one one day. She was when I came home with my Supra in 1998 :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
