Fuel system is another area where mkIII Supras need some help. To ensure that there is enough fuel supply for the targeted higher horsepower, an adjustable fuel pressure regulator from Aeromotive was installed. A fuel pressure gauge mounted on the fuel rail provides accurate fuel pressure readings helping in setting of base line fuel pressure of 40psi. Base fuel pressure setting needs to be done with engine not running. With the ignition in “ON” position, connect “B+” and “Fp” points on the Diagnostic Connector under the hood to pressurize the fuel system.

To improve performance of the Supra ignition system, an HKS Twin Power DLI ignition amplifier was installed. The Twin Power ignition amplifier incorporates both the CDI and transistor method ignition to provide optimum spark duration and maximum voltage output, resulting in crisper throttle response and a smoother engine powerband. The effects of this upgrade were felt during first drive after the install.

A set of Bortex RPM 18″ rims from Enkei was wrapped in low profile Falken tires and installed on all four corners. Front brakes were also upgraded with custom combination: a pair MkIV Supra 12″ directional rotors custom fitted, in combination with Nissan 4 piston aluminum brake calipers installed using custom brackets from supracarparts.com. Custom made brake pads were utilized. Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines replaced factory rubber lines to minimize the “spongy” feel of the brake pedal.

Since the original grey leather interior was in a dismal shape it was necessary to step up and replace it with custom leather. A two-tone red and grey design was chosen to coordinate with dashboard and trim colour and to add a little “spice” with an accent colour. Passenger and cargo area carpet was also replaced with a molded replacement piece. Extra padding was added to improve soundproofing. New floor mats were installed.
