Is that the apexi fmic with a custom IC pipe to the elbow? I did the same thing but haven't tried to put my hood back on yet. I know it is going to be very very tight and will most like be doing some trimming to get it to fit. I was wondering how much hood clearance you had over there?

Looks like you have a nice setup going. If you don't mind me asking, what ems(Don't use the AEM, I know you Supra boys like it, but its not what you want for the 7), what turbo and most important, what tranny? I too have the same goal for a 9 sec street car, but the problem with these car is not the engine, its the tranny. When you start making over 650rwhp, the input and output shafts snap like twigs.

I'm gonna really push the car because my goal is to keep up or beat my Supra buddies. That's a really tall order because they're in the high 8's to low 9's. Those are just the local guys i'm referring to.

Good luck. I agree with everything your doing with the expception of the AEM. You will have ignition problems. The Supra coil on plug design is great, but the stock coils (even MSD) just don't cut it for the 7. I went with the Tec 3. I actually will be dynoing in the next few weeks so I'll post my results. Your tranny is the right ticket. Demetrios K. ran the same tranny to a 8.40@164mph all turbo. You'll need atleast a 6k stall. BTW.....whats your name. I have a few close friends locally with 9 sec. Supra's ie.....Matt Miller, Tony M., Jimmy P.

My name is Elliott and i'm with Virtual Works Racing. I've heard of your friends on the Supraforums. Matt and Tony are the king of 6spds. other than Ryan Woon right?
We have the fastest no nitrous Supra in the world. It would've been possibly the fastest street driven Supra a week ago but something let go. We were on a pass from hell. It went 8.8 @ 156 the 1st pass going 121 in the 1/8th. The next pass it went 129mph in the 1/8th and let go just pass half track and coasted to a 9.1 @ 130. We ran out of octane with the C16. The VPimport will be going in for nitrous passes from now on.

Thanks to everyone and your kind words. I'll take some more pics and post them up as as i can.
The next couple of months are going to be very exciting.
The new rear fenders and the new front fenders will allow me to run much wider tires. I can't wait to get out on the dragstrip to try and show these Supra's a thing or two.
