Well after wanting a Supra for years and searching for the last two years, I have to say the feeling of driving my 1993 BPU+ Supra for the first time today was quite an unexpected rush!
My wife and I built and raced Mustang 5.0 Liters and added all the bolt on's including nitrous and superchargers. I was still not prepared for the Supra experience. This car is a 1993 BPU+ and I don't even know how the HKS EVC IV works. I thought I'd take the traction control off and let it rip! Well the first 3/4 throttle I saw 21 lbs of boost and thought, WOW!
The second time I nailed it to the floor and saw 25+ lbs of boost and was totally unprepared for how hard the car accelerated! Talk about a white knuckled RUSH!!!
I have a couple questions though...
I was suprised how much boost this car made. On pump 92 Octane gas is it safe to run this much? In my Mustang days, I would limit the boost to 18 lbs with a Supercharger without race fuel.
Secondly, I heard what sounded like a bypass valve (major air discharge) when I let off the throttle. I didn't notice that the car had one and haven't seen one. Where would it most likely be located if it did have one?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
