Really looks like an awesome build! Nice to see a budget project comming so nicely together.

As this is an budget project, what kind of turbo's are they and where did you buy them?

Great lookin' project! That crossmember looks nice!

As for the turbo set-up, the only thing I ever find in a recycle bin are old soda cans!

Shiny Side Up!

I bought the CHRA used from a guy on the Supraforums. The housings were bought from here. www.turbonetics.com

Great build.

What are the specs on that turbo? I'm not up to date on the 2JZ stuff

Sweet! I wish the trash at my job was that cool...

Will you need to drop the compression or change the cam to add the hairdryer?

It is a "T66" with a p-trim turbine wheel. It's actually fairly small for this size motor but I wanted something that would spool instantly and I don't plan on running very much boost..........for now

I'm going to keep the boost pressure around 5-7 psi which should allow me to leave the stock internals. "317" truck heads have 6cc larger chambers and flow quite a bit better than the "853" heads that are on it now. If I were to find a set of those heads reeeeeeeally cheap I might get them but I am not worried about it right now.

I wasn't going to post new pics until I had the headers made but I am to impatient. I changed my mind ONCE AGAIN and will be going with twins now. I traded the T66 for two 60-1's with T3 hot sides. I did a quick moch up, final placement will be similar to where they are now just a little closer to the firewall and a little lower.

Looking good!

Cant wait to see more!
