Thank you for your kind words. Again, if you used copper plugs, be sure to change them every 5000 miles.

I'm currently using a manual boost controller (Hallman), but I'm planning to get my AEM to regulate my boost soon (I've already purchased the solenoid, etc.). For bpu Mkiv Supras, I usually recommend the HKS EVC-EZII.

I typically run anywhere from 15psi through ~40psi, depending on the octane fuel I have in my tank, and the application. Although ~40psi is cool for a dyno run or dragstrip, 30psi or so is max practical for getting groceries.

Pretty much everything (except a stroker kit), since it's built for ~1200rwhp+ (note: I haven't dyno'd that high yet). You may already know that the oem 2jz-gte internals are good up to about 900rwhp through a 6spd (which is PLENTY of power for most applications).

Again, anytime...glad I could help.

Please tell us some more about your Supra. How do you like your AVC-R boost controller? Have you ever tried more than 17psi with race fuel? Is your eManage dyno-tuned? Do you ever roadrace with those Teins?

Displacement is no replacement for boost.
Life begins at 30psi.


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.
