What did you do to your Supra today?

That’s one way to prevent catalytic convertor theft. Make it so low that nothing can get underneath it.

Got impatient waiting for a set of wheels so I added some spacers and wheel studs. Wasn’t intending on running the spacers at this upcoming track event, but will likely keep them on.

Parked the car for the winter.

His variant wheels look so good stuffed under the wheel well too ? @Jnhalstead

Is this a wrap? If so, what color, it’s gorgeous! If it’s stratosphere, I’ve never seen it look like this!!!

No wrap, downshift blue

Cool look forward to seeing the output. Especially since we have the same tuner.

Still waiting on one chart but wanted to get this out.

To recap and keep everything in one place, I’m adding content from a few other posts of mine. I think it’s important to get the full picture.


Until a monthish ago, I was running this setup. I ran this setup from 3k-7k miles.
JB4 Map 6, AA Catted DP, Eventuri Intake, FTP CP, xHP Stage 3, Fuel-It Flex Kit
440whp/456tq – There was a little ethanol in the tank, like E20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In September, my setup changed to.
BM3 CustomRom, AA Catted DP, Eventuri Intake, FTP CP, xHP Stage 3, BM3 Flex Fuel Kit, Stock Turbo

*This dyno reads low. It's the dyno shop EPC uses and is known for being low.*
473whp/525tq – BM3 MultiMap 1.2 OTS and had E50/51 in the tank.

Here’s the log file - https://www.bootmod3.net/log?id=652ea819d10b434a9cd78284

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This past week we upgraded the turbo, manifold, and got PI ready (injectors but no controller yet).. and new Exhaust

BM3 CustomRom, AA Catted DP, Eventuri Intake, FTP CP, xHP Stage 3, BM3 Flex Fuel Kit, DAW Flow Max, EOS Mani, 1050cc injectors (not used), HKS Hi-Power Exhaust

This was tuned by Sameh. He’s very familiar with this dyno; again as it’s used by EPC. According to what the owners were saying, I can expect to see between a 25-35 gain in HP and 30-50 in torque. I have no fucking clue how they know these numbers. I’ll be taking it to my original dyno place (see top chart) next week to see how it compares.

474whp/442tq – BM3 Custom Tune 93o (remember this dyno reads low)

Don't have log file - well I do, just not sure which log it is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


525whp/525tq – BM3 Custom Tune E49 (remember this dyno reads low)

I’m waiting for this chart. Thought I grabbed picture but didn’t. You can see in the chart above that we hit 525whp/551tq but we didn’t like how the HP dropped off towards redline. Sameh made some adjustments and that flattened it out at 525whp. The torque isn’t “peaky” anymore either.

Here’s the log file for the final run – https://www.bootmod3.net/log?id=6532c56854b1296f7d7f8249

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here’s a 4th gear pull I did after I got it back. You’ll notice the boost goes up due to having real load and we hit 19deg timing.

General thoughts. I’m loving this new turbo and setup but wish I would have just sent it and got the PI wired in. Sameh really pushed it, but we kept maxing out the HPFP. It freaking pulls hard to redline now and I can’t tell the difference in spool vs the stock; which is what I expected. The drivability is MUCH better than the OTS tunes. You don’t even realized how bad they are because you get used to them. (Dad Advice: Get a custom tune.) Completely smoked a C8 this past weekend.

I’ll be going to my original dyno place to see what numbers it puts down there. It will be interesting to see if/how far off the dynos are.

Will post the 525/525 dyno sheet as soon as EPC sends it to me.

All that said. Huge thanks to Simon and Louaye at EPC and Sameh for the tuning. EPC handled the whole Femto unlock, turbo, injectors, and the installation. The whole process went well. Watching them tune the car was pretty cool. I haven't dyno tuned a car in many years (15!), good to be back.
