Do not run aviation fuel. Race fuel (specifically for motorsports applications) is proven for high horsepower applications. E85 is okay too.

The oem plenum is what causes a lean condition in #6 for high horsepower applications. Aftermarket plenums solve this issue. That's why they were invented! However I definitely agree that you should stay away from the cheaply-constructed plenums on ebay and go with a name brand like veilside, virtual works, or sound performance.

I can't answer the question about you fuel lines because you have not told me how much fuel your engine will be consuming. For example, I could make 1200cc injectors work just fine with the stock twin turbos and the oem fuel lines. If you still have that 67mm turbo, 1200cc injectors are too big unless you're going to run E85. A 67mm turbo's fuel requirements do outstrip the oem fuel pump and lines. You need to get a complete fuel system - don't try to piecemeal one together yourself.

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.
