Like many of you, I've owned the MKIII for 12 yrs. and have been on the SOGI/supramania/supraforums for maybe half that time. I remember way back when 450whp was considered the ultimate for a 7MGTE. "the stock internals won't handle much more than that" was the belief.
The aftermarket has been good to the MKIII. Products available now allow the competent user to fine tune safely their car, and shatter previous "never exceed as verified by the gurus" limits.
Take today's products, combine them with the knowledge & skill of one like an X-Man, and the result is awesome whp #'s).
2JZ what??
X-man has stated that 750+whp is not his day-to-day driving goal, but I'm sure right now the skeptics out there are like "oh dayum!" because the beauty of that video is that it is a STOCK 7mgte bottom, and with the exception of an HKS HG, and ARP head bolts, the head too is STOCK. HE put down 3 runs with 700+whp, multiple runs over 600whp, then he drove her home. "without a hiccup". He runs 550ish whp daily. (His exact number can be found above in his post).
THis is a testament to the 7MGTE, and user knowledge/skills/ability. How many owners have blown their 7M's and blamed the motor, when in reality it was user error?
X-MAn, I knew from the first day we spoke you were crazy AND u knew what you were talking about. Today is just another milestone in your impressive achievements column. Keep up the good work, and keep the skeptics running!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
