Background
Bought my Supra new in 88 (yes I’m that old). Street raced it with manual boost controller/crimp-bent exhaust for years. Ran up to boost cut at 12psi. Very strong at that time. Mustang / Camero / Corvette killer. Been auotcrossing it off and on for years. Began real upgrades with in last 2 years. Dynoed 275RWHP/336RWTQ at 15psi on pump gas up in Atlanta (05/02) with lexus AFM, 550s, stock CT-26, Spearco IC, stock IC Pipes, stock elbow, crimp bent 2.5” exhaust. The car was running PIG RICH. The exhaust was choking the motor. Got a 3” elbow and 3” GReddy exhaust from Jeff Tamulis along with a AFC. Really let the motor start to run. Pulled to redline felt strong again. Ordered a SS Stage 3 turbo and spun a rod bearing just after putting it on (just before Powerfest 2002!). Rebuilt motor as below and broke it in prior to putting SS back on. Put on the SS turbo and went to Atlanta for tuning/dyno (06/03).

Writeup
I have done almost all the work on my car. I rebuilt this motor with machine work done at Billy’s here in Dothan. I constructed the IC hardpipes but had them welding at a local shop. I did all the upgrades otherwise and also the auto to manual conversion. I didn’t do the crappy paint job. I had it done while still in school (had to do something because the hood had gotten so bad)

Future plans
Im just enjoying the moment for now. Didn't expect 400RWHP at this time. Ill probably go bigger in the future, but this will require some $$ outlay for a new manifold turbo and such. It may be a while before I start into that.
