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.

so basically afgas is crap i must just buy racing fuel wat is the problem with ethanol,what do you think about building my own manifold. do you know the brand name brian croward want to order a set of 272 cams fom them. Im getting a hks head gasket with arp bolt and boost as much as possible.what do you mean about the fuel system what is the best ruit to take.must i get rid of the fuel tank and get a fuel cell with 2/3 pumps or is that over kill

Pure ethanol may be okay but I know of no Supra race team or individual that has achieved proven results with it. E85 and methanol are proven.

Afgas is crap. Wrong balance of short and long chain hydrocarbons unless you're up at 20,000 feet.

Do you have a flow bench? If not, don't try to build your own plenum.

Use HKS or JUN cams imho, not crower.

Why are you changing the head gasket?

No fuel cell but you definitely need more than one pump. Here is a complete fuel system :

I know racing is expensive but with the rand to dollor i must multiply the amount with 8 so it is very very expensive to get the parts here.The fuel system i want to build is basically the same so that is sorted out. I dont know if the old gasket wil handle the boost.how bad is the stock manifold cant i improve it i do have all the engineering equipment and skills.

1) The oem (Toyota) 2jz-gte head gasket will handle the boost just fine. If someone told you differently, please send him/her to me.
2) Pay to play. Sorry, but you can't get away from that. If you want to maximize your investment, don't buy stuff you don't need like an HKS head gasket or an ebay intake plenum.
3) The oem intake plenum is just fine for a 67mm turbo. You only need to change it out for 750rwhp (6spd) applications. If you want to modify it, just block off the EGR valve (us-spec mkiv tt's only).

Then oem pressure plate will only hold about 400rwhp* long-term reliably. With an Act or RPS or South Bend pressure plate, the oem flywheel and clutch disc will hold about 600rwhp*. With a carbon-ceramic clutch disc, it'll hold about 700rwhp*. Above that point you'll need a double or triple disc clutch.

A lightweight flywheel will improve roadracing performance, but it will not affect holding power.

E85 is 15% gasoline. Pure ethanol can be the start of a great party!

* P. S. Clutches actually hold torque, not horsepower. If you'd like the upgrade points in ft-lbs instead, please send me a PM.

With E85 you need to flow about 50%+ more fuel, so the injectors have to be that much larger.
