What does BPU mean?
- Thread starter Supra Sound

Bodily poopy underwear.
True MkIII fans use A/B/C/D/#
A = engine
B = suspension
C = brakes
D = interior
# = year you bought it.
You rate them A - D, A being stock/barely modded, B being relitively modded, C is quite alot done to it, D is full race mods.
My red car would be C/B/B/A/05.

Which really means..."per-forum-upgrades"....only those mods that you learn about on these forums. :biglaugh:
BPU is more of a MkIV Supra oriented acronym, which indicates a full 3" or larger exhaust from the turbos to the tailpipe, a Greddy BCC [boost cut controller], an intake and a boost controller [some people use a bleeder, some use a manual boost controller, and some go all-out with an electronic boost controller]. The average BPU MkIV makes 390hp at the wheels, but 430 or more at the wheels has been seen.
Really, MkIII guys use BPU sometimes now, but in the past our upgrades were expressed in stages.

You have to be kidding. That is way to complicated. Might as well just list your mods in your sig.
C/B/B/A/05 is too complicated? Its a few letters more with a number...
I'd think its actually shorter and tells you more...as opposed to BPU++++++++

Orion... BPU horsepower is at least Stage 5 as far as MkIV to MkIII horsepower comparison.
..and your method does nothing to state horsepower. If someone says BPU++, you pretty much know they has over 400 to the wheels, and 500 at the crank. If I rebuilt my 7M with forged internals but left everything else stock, it could be considered a full race engine, but my horsepower level might still just be close to stock. Understand?

Someone posted it on SF a long time ago and I saved it. I'm surprised you havent seen ANY people use it because I've seen quite a few between SM and SF.

orion that is like one of those secret codes you would need just to decipher that. Maybe when we were 10 it would be fun but now lets not overcomplicate things.

well, yeah, most of you haven't seen that morse code crap because you guys aren't old school members.
i don't like it either. i remember when people stared doing that on sf. nobody understood it for like a month, lol.

1234# is applicable to all cars period and tells more about whats done to them. BPU could mean anything IMO and vary too much.
Eh.
Eh.
