Need some Enlightenment
Hi all. My first post here.
1- I have been reading some posts of this forum and as a future supra owner I have to ask for your help on some doubts. There is so much wrong info on what path choose when BPU and what BPU config choose to better support a single Turbo conversion...I am kinda confuse in this. 2- I would like to know a rough estimative for the price of a complete suportive BPU and after, a solid 600 rwhp (or a 500wrwhp for price comparison) on pump gas 100 EU octane fuel(if possible) and everything not engine related you would recomend me for this setup. I live in Portugal...yeah I know kinda sucks because very few supras around here. Even so I must fight the power and get one. I would like to know if there is any way of putting together this 600rwhp config without handing the car over to some mecanic (dangerous in portugal lol). One last thing...Do you recomend widebody kits? If so is their instalation hard? Thanks a lot and so sorry for the never ending post. |

ty
Thanks Pawpanas you are always a great help and inspiration xD
Whats the max boost pressure can I SAFELY run in a 100 octane EU rated fuel?And what power would result of that setup? So sorry but never did quite understand meth and water. I understand its good to pump up octane and prevent knock-->more boost-->more power. But is it easy to find? Is it practical for everyday use or only when power is needed?how is it just trow into the fuel tank? Widebody kit is out of question for now then  If I got it right you told that if I go straight from stock to single T I may save some money in midle mods? Last, to achieve this kind of power is there any turbo size/model or brand you would recommend? Sorry for this never ending questions. Thanks m8

Meth is pretty easy to find - most hardware stores will have something called "denatured alcohol" ... it's a suitable substitute if you can't find methanol. Also, most companies that distribute race fuel will also distribute methanol. Alcohol+water (about a 75-25 or 90-10 mix) is very effective for everyday use AND when power is needed, for 600rwhp or 700rwhp or so. You don't just throw it in the tank (like you can with race fuel) - for alcohol injection, you need a whole separate system (pump+fogger+controls). You can make 500rwhp (through a 6spd) with the oem twins and a shot of nitrous. For 600rwhp (through a 6spd), you'll need approximately a T61 (61mm inducer) sized turbo.

?
Thanks again for the reply. However I dont think I will go for the meth path. I really dont know if the octane level of EU and USA match but 100 is the max you can find in the pump here.Like bp ultimate. Sorry to ask again but I wasnt quite sure...how much power on regular fuel is possible. When you said that turbo was good for 600 rwhp is it on pump gas?
How much would that turbo kit cost (average) You know a good place in europe to buy them? Thanks a lot again

Turbo kits are at least $4500 USD for one that is 100% complete, and with a professional fit and finish.
