Guest Martin F Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 My suggestion FWIW, get rid of the cats. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Remove cats, and uprate exhaust, gives a good 40bhp, and the car feels much better, oh and a FCD as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Remove the Catalytic converters and replace with a straight through pipe. You can just remove one but better make it the downpipe section (CAT1, next to the exhaust manifold) first to get any benefit. Then the boost may be raised high enough to cause fuel cut, for that you'll need a fuel cut controller You have a choice of TRL VFCC, HKS FCD or Greddy BCC Obviously I'm biased and will recommend my VFCC http://www.trlperformance.com/vfcc.html Read the important information at the bottom of the page! So many people just do NOT understand what it means to remove the fuel cut and think it's free power! You don't get something for nothing. There is always a sacrifice. Luckily the Supra is built well and can cope with up to 18psi of boost in stock form, provided you heed the warnings. If you want to go to the nexty stage then you'll need to look into boost control. Either manual/mechanical (bleeder "T" mod) or automatic/electronic boost controllers. But that should be a subject of another email and AFTER you've researched the subject, there's a lot of info out there on places like www.mkiv.com (if it's come back yet), www.supras.co.uk and this site. Good luck Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go faster strips and fluffy dice give you an instant power increase too!! Cats, Catback 'zaust (HKS Hiper or Super Drager IMO), VFCC + a boost gauge!! Stage 2, Intercooler/ERL Aquamist Stage 3, Hybrid turbo's and a S-AFC to run a safe ish 1.5bar. Sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Waiting for the comments!!! The above list should also include RaceLogic Traction Control to help you keep all that extra power on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's got a manula with more control so your Racelogic shares won't be going up in value just yet!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Yes the Nur is probably great but I've not used or really seen one to comment I can only comment on what I've seen... Have you seen how cheap the HKS Carbon canned Hiper is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 have to say that Martin is spot-on. The NUR spec is a superb piece of engineering and is *almost* too nice to stick under your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Yeah, but the Hiper is LOUDER!!!!!!! The NUR spec does have a certain musical quality though - at this point someone should probably mention that there are MP3's of five different exhausts in the multimedia area of this site. Well worth a listen - better still get to a meet and have a listen. Tell me more about this carbon-canned Hiper Alex - have you seen/heard one?

Ring Master Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 I thought the Nur-Spec was louder than the hiper ????? I am a *BIG* HKS fan, but have to admit, the Blitz definitely *IS* the best exhaust out there, actually, by quite a margin. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Master Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 This is what id do, in order : Stage 1> Blitz Nur-spec cat-back exhaust £543+v Racelogic traction control (adjustable+launch) £1,050inc vat&del HKS de-cat £145+v (second cat only) Eibach springs £185+v Stage 2> Blitz SBC-id boost controller (the dogs!) £525+vat HKS induction (£155+vat) HKS S40 plugs (£14.50+vat each) HKS or Blitz front mount intercooler I can do great prices on all these parts, an amazing 12.5% discount on Blitz; the Racelogic TC for £619.95inc Vat and del (in stock) and possibly up to 10% on the HKS. Stage 3> re-mortgage you house first Justin Torque IC 01233 500384 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
