Gazboy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 My car is getting the first stages of BPUness right now. Seems to be holding 1.0bar quite nicely, can' wait to get it back tomorow and vanquish that sodding NSX at Brunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtuv Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 SOMEONE talk me out of it. "You're car is the pinnacle of engineering, quality, reliability, and style from Toyota. Hundreds of engineers spent man-decades bringing this carefully crafted and tuned masterpiece of mechanics to you. Why would you want to change anything? Do Ferrari and Morgan owners 'go BPU'? No - they restore, care for, and respect what they have, and what countless people have worked to bring to market. Have some pride, and just drive your dream. Save the 'sports zorst', strap on turbo, lexus rear lights, and body kit for the Corsas of the world." How about that? Then again, I'm starting to think I need more power, too ...

letmeshowyou Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 an uprated/newer fuel pump would be a good investment aswell mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Do Ferrari and Morgan owners 'go BPU'? There's not a lot more power to get out of those cars before they pop I wouldn't have thought. Stop thinking and get on with it. You know you will anyway. You don't need the boost controller though. (if jspec or running say a 1bar restricter ring) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if jspec or running say a 1bar restricter ring) They do a few upgrades for them , usually it's hi-flo cats and a tubi full exhaust sytem. I did a trackday with a guy who spent £80k on his 360 spyder once. You can also twin turbo charge them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Mark if you want to fit a boost controller (optional), then I'd get the restrictor ring to limit boost to around 1bar (in high gear), then use the boost controller to raise from there. I'll send you some prices for boost gauges, FCD and boost controller. Do you also want prices for FMIC? This is exactly what I do - Why? Because you soon get used to whatever power you have! I normally use 0.9/1 bar and when I fancy a play I turn it up to 1.2 bar. That way makes the car more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Wow. Some people just can't get enough eh? There is a guy on PH who's modifying his Mclaren F1! (admittedly it isn't engine work). People will modify just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Ha ha! This thing's a little beastie now! Don't really notice much until 3rd though. Handling is sublime though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
