    BMW engine emoji51.png. Stopped me even looking at the supra. Bad past experience. 

    Thing is, in the B58/48 case for the Supra, Toyota had a good review and development in the engine to ensure it met their reliability requirements. As that is their default non-M powerplant, if it was a BMW engine it would be the B48 which has a great reputation. TBH, it would probably be preferable to a Subaru FA/FB engine which is not that resilient in comparison.

    I wouldve thought with your harrop kit, you wouldnt feel much difference switching to another uel manifold as the uel is designed to kill the torque dip which your harrop already does.

    This.... When boosted you do get the advantages of better manifolds, but from what I've seen a mid-range manifold won't sacrifice you that much power. I'd say max it's 10bhp/lb.ft, less than that vs the TD (which I still class as a upper-mid system). So that means you can get better value for money, or probably free vs the sale of the TD one. Options are: Cobra (doesn't look UEL but is classed as), HKS and Tomei to name a few, or some USA offerings. 


  3. A 60+ minute mix designed to take you on a ride. Full range of feel good and uplifting house to some dark and techy sounds. Designed to make you move and smile in you living room as much as the club. I really enjoyed making this as I haven't recorded a journey mix in some time and I think it flows well. No video on this one.

     


  4. Well I haven't updated this in a while. New links and image in OP and a new mix that I have somehow managed to fit around everything else in this crazy time.....

    Here's a 30 minute uplifting house mix that is also a entry for a Mixmag competition:

    Or if you like to have a laugh, you can watch below:

     

     

     


  5. The Pirelli doesn't seem to come in stock sizes - I can only see 205 or 225 width in 17 inch. I can't comment on anything as yet, as my 2 month old Goodyear Assy. 5s have 0 miles on them, but in reviews come out well against the Michelins and the Conti PC6. Price wise I managed to get them for the same money as the Falkens, which were my "cheaper" option.

    I reckon if I had £50K to burn this is a real contender to the Supra.

    The only reason that I think you'd have a Supra over an A110 is if you're one of those that needs a big straight 6. TBH it'd be between the Cayman vs A110 if it were that money, perhaps an M2 Competition.

    However, doesn't the D4S with dual injectors use Toyota's ECU programming, rather than Subaru's?  

    Denso ECU, similar to those in Subaru's.

    The data includes a D4S trace, but I don't know what it means, and it seems to be more than just on-off. Probably versions of Both, A, B, none. I know that dual injection systems ideally vary their duty dependent on economy versus power goals, but I don't know if the GT86 system is that sophisticated.

    D4S is indeed just an indicator of PI/DI/Both.

    Loads of people in the US get really shitty over IAM changes. Some will occur unless mapped conservatively, this engine is high compression and the setup is known to be overly sensitive. High gear loading can do it as well. Dropping to 0.5 isn't ideal though, especially if you're on V-Power.

    I take it that as you're running EcuTek you're tuned as well. There is a lot of knock correction going on. Look at the ign correction - fine parameter, any time it's negative it's pulling timing, any time it's positive it's trying to restore the IAM. That's FLKC. FBKC is Knock Correction

    Good to know Martin, do you have a link to any info or is this just based on what you've read/ experienced?

    The use of the dual injector systems has plenty of headroom as you can adjust the split to give what you need. The DI system can run a lot more fuel as it's high pressure and then the PI used to supplement it, the latter is what uses the injectors and pump that you can replace. A smaller pulley and E85, which requires ~30% more fuel, would be on the limit of the capabilities. On standard fuel that equates to around 350ish BHP IIRC.


  9. Plenty of people in the states have run higher power turbo on stock internals for some period of time to say that it's possible. In the early days of this platform many seemed to think 4-500whp was where the limits of the engine were, axles are the weak point and were an earlier failure mode. Over time the engine failures came, but certainly not to all it seems.

    They then rebuild the engines or put in a LSx V8

    I’ve got one of the maps set so that the engine doesn’t start (a bit belt and braces given the car already has an immobiliser but it was a spare slot so why not). So what I tend do is switch the ignition on (but not the engine), then change the ECU to the appropriate map and the switch it off again. Only problem is it doesn’t always seem to set the last map, so it takes several attempt to get it to reload a running map on startup.

    You're doing it wrong ;) I have a similar map on mine and have to do the same.

    There's something in the ECU that I noticed that if you switch maps, switch off and then switch back on quickly it will default to the mode that it was when switched on previously. So in your case, back to the immobiliser map. This only happens in this situation, which you're doing by switching off after making the change. What you need to do:

    1. Turn on ignition (not start car)
    2. Change map mode
    3. Put foot on clutch
    4. Push start button to start engine
