The stock twins do spool up fast, but only because 1) they're small and 2) because they operate sequentially. Read more about it here:

No, the stock twins can't produce 700rwhp. Whomever told you that is 'smoking crack'. If you're talking about aftermarket twins that run in parallel, then sure 800rwhp+ is no problem, but it'll lag just like a big 800rwhp+ single turbo.

The oem Mkiv Turbo is electronically limited to 155mph. With a US-spec Mkiv Supra Turbo, removing that electronic limitation is as easy as pulling the trac fuse.

Bikes are about as aerodynamic as a brick at 150mph+. You'll find an upgraded Supra exceeding that easily because of the much lower drag coefficient.

Depends, but I'd say about 525rwhp reliably. There are upgrades available that will take you to about 675rwhp with the oem TT auto, but to go past that you'll need to swap it out for a TH400 or the like.

How does the obdII play into that system, and if I were to upgrade to a AEM ems, how does that work with the rest of the system, i.e. ecu, ecm?...
An AEM ems works fine with ODBI. With ODBII it's a bit trickier - I've heard of some folks leaving the oem ecu in there for emissions, and using the AEM to control the engine.

Everything you saw in that wikipedia article is accurate.

Sure. Either that, or you can inject it separately. Your choice.

Depends how much boost you want to run.

um, because that's what you need to do to increase the peak hp at higher rpms? The information we've accumulated over the years in this community is thanks to dozens of early pioneers that experimented with the Mkiv Supra Turbo in the mid '90s. Lots of things were tried, and only some worked. The ones that worked were published so it's easy for the rest of us to take advantage of. Again, here's the link:

No, only the fuel system.

No, again it depends on boost. More boost, more octane. Forget hp.

I'd guess about 350rwhp max through a 6spd. Possibly 325rwhp-ish through an auto.

Do you mean stock (sequential) twins, or aftermarket parallel twins?

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
