Hello
Just want to say hey to all on this forum, I'm a long time Supra owner (same Mk III for 10+ years) and I have tried a "few" mods so far :eusa_ange
I'm also a long time costumer at HPF where I usually buy all my stuff if I can't source it locally (it's hard to find Supra parts in Denmark)
I'm presently running a fully built 7M-GTE together with AEM EMS and a HPF turbo kit/T-66 BB turbo.
Link to a small mpg of my last dyno with the new HPF turbo kit at 15 Psi 447 RWHP):

Thanks Jeff, Smog test passed last Thursday and my car is now re-registered as an official 7M-GTE. (The car came new in 1987 as a 7M-GE)
No problem at all with the AEM EMS, as a matter of fact they never found out what mods I had to the car :eusa_ange
Turbo kit is going back in next weekend, however the car drives beautifully with the CT 26 as well, it feels like about 50 hp over stock rating but with the mods still in the engine bay it is hard to ay if it is because of the AEM alone.

Hello
Thanks for all the kind words, looking forward to share my experience with you all, I must say "been there-done that" to almost everything you can do to a 7M engine :eusa_ange
Here in Denmark it is getting cold/rainy now, soon it will change to cold/snowing so within the next month the Supra will go in for the winter in a nice hot garage. That gives me an awful lot of time to mod even more and keeping up the hotline to Amber at HPF :eusa_ange
Regarding mods. here are some of the more important ones:
Engine:
- Clevite 77 bearings
- Shoot-penned rods (stock)
- JE .040" over forged pistons
- Stress bored block
- HKS 2 mm Stopper MHG
- Fully race prepped head including modified combustion chambers
- "Steam hole option" done to the head
- HKS 264 cams
- Adjustable cam gears
- ARP's all over
- HPF turbo kit with T-66 BB turbo
- Blitz NurSpec R 80 mm exhaust together with HPF 3½" down pipe
- Homemade IC kit with HKS Racing blow-off
- Homemade oil catch tank
- Fluidyne radiator with 2 SPAL electric fans controlled by AEM EMS
- HPF oilfilter relocation kit wit huge oilcooler controlled by a thermostat
- HPF Feramic clutch with RPS pressure plate
- Single Walbro GS341 with Kenne-Bell "Boost a pump"
- 720 ccm PTE injectors
- Coolingmist Methanol injection kit controlled by AEM EMS
Electronics:
- AEM EMS with MAP conversion kit
- AEM EGT
- AEM WB
- Gaugetech EMS LCD display
- Greddy electronic oil pressure
- G-tech Pro
Interior:
- Speedhut reversed indigo gauges
- Sony cheap stereo (never used)
Apart from that it looks absolutly stock but in perfect condition - sleeper look :)
Exteriour:
- Bomex body kit including Whaletail spoiler :eusa_ange
- Mk IV rims with Goodyear Eagle F1 225/45 up front and BFG DR 275/40 rear
- HPF window sticker - + 50 hp :eusa_ange
Body:
- Mk IV front brakes with Willwood 4 piston Superlites
- Stock rear brakes with Axxis Metalmaster
- Koni Yellow's (Mk IV up front) with Cobra lowering springs
Upcoming mods. during winter:
- Installation of my new fully built TH400 gearbox
- Installation of my new Veilside style intake manifold made by Ron Ramirez
- Installation of my new Q45 throttle body
- Installation of my new FMIC
- Maybe a new Garrett GTR40 turbo (not sure yet)
My goal is to dyno at least 600 RWHP next year and do a 1/4 mile in the mid 10's - So far I have made 447 RWHP at 15 Psi on a very crappy dyno that could not produce enough resistance on the rollers - On the street I have been running up to about 36 Psi of boost and the G-tech Pro have indicated 600+ RWHP and low 11's in the 1/4 mile. Main problem now is traction with the Drag Radials; it likes to spin even in 3. gear and the power seems to destroy my rear-end/gearbox all the time :(
Looking forward to see what the TH400 together with some MT will do to my 1/4 mile time
Regards from Denmark

Damn! That's quite a list of mods you've got there. I think you may be the first person, other than myself that I've seen with the HKS 2.0 Stopper MHG. Anyway...
So what do you drive in the winter?

Hello
My daily beater is an Opel Vectra 2.0 DTI from 1999, have done 295.000 km so far without any problems at all - It's a turbo diesel and the mileage is very good with the gas prizes we got in Europe.
Here is a few pictures:

On top of that I have been a motorcyclist for the last 25 years and now when I'm not as young as I was 20 years ago I have a Suzuki GSXR 750 WT. I have been road racing for many years and have also been working as a motorcycle mechanic beside my "real" job.
Here are a few pictures of the bike I have now:
