The Toyota's turbo system consists of a stainless-steel HKS turbo manifold, a GT-spec wastegate and Type II blow-off valve, joined by a wicked SP77 turbo. The SP77 is one of the big dogs in the Sound Performance line-up, featuring a .81 A/R turbine housing and a highly efficient GT42 turbine wheel joined to a 77mm compressor wheel.

Carlin enlisted the talents of ADFX Racing to fabricate a trick intake system that didn't rely on the stock intake runners. ADFX fabricated a CNC-flange to mount the manifold to the head and custom runners that ran between the flange and the intake plenum. The runners were port-matched to the head and designed for optimum flow. This work of art was finished off with a huge 90mm throttlebody originally destined for a Mustang.

Carlin puts the pedal to the metal with confidence. He credits his peace of mind to the Sound Performance SP400 automatic transmission. The SP400 is a heavily beefed TH400 with a custom bell housing that allows a direct bolt-up to the 2JZ.

Carlin was going to run a Do-Luck front bumper cover but knew no one made an FMIC kit to work specifically with the Do-Luck piece, so he and ADFX Racing collaborated on a custom, one-off FMIC. The result is a humongous 18x24x4.5 core perfectly nestled in the nose of the car.

The Supra rolls Braid Future Jarama wheels. The clean, five-spoke, three-piece creations are sized 18x10 up front and 18x11 in the rear. Braid is a Spanish wheel maker and Garage Dynamics is its U.S. distributor.

Custom Cars Unlimited handled the body tuning. Carlin wanted a one-off look, so he added C-West side skirts, a TRD hood and wing, C-West rear skirts and a Do-Luck front bumper. The fenders were rolled to accommodate the humongous Braid wheels.

Inside, Custom Cars Unlimited flush-mounted some of the tuning electronics, mounted the gauges and a high-power stereo system. A very exclusive Alpine IV900 DVD stereo head unit, featuring a huge, 7-inch display, is the cornerstone of a hard-hitting system. The remainder of the interior consists of a 10,000-rpm TRD tach, Sparco Milano bucket seats, Blitz SBC-id boost controller with power meter, Defi gauges and a Blitz DATT turbo timer.
