i thought there was a vvti 1j that came w/ a ct-26??? just thought i'd mention that, don't know how hard it would be to locate a mini. off of one of those, but the setup you've got right now, looks perfectly fine to me

edit: see the vvti was already mentioned... ct15 aye???

The vvti 1jz has a ct15b turbo, the head is different then the twin turbo 1jz head, and the turbo is a totally different design on the exhaust side. It only looks similar in size to the ct26 so people assume it's a ct26. The cool thing is that the ct15b already makes more power then the ct12 twins stock, and the ct26 is significantly larger then the ct15b. The ct15b is ceramic on the exhaust wheel so it is not as durable as the ct26.

what is our exhaust wheel made of? (ct-26)... looks like ceramic to me

I'd love to see this take off... it'd be so nice if those of us with a 7M, could upgrade our exhaust/turbo systems, and then if we swapped to a 1jz, still let us use those upgraded exhaust/turbo systems!

I am the second to raise my hand for a Test Subject.. yes yes i will put my 1j out there for this project... I know I know :3d_frown: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

Ah and if you would be so kind as to make one that sits where the 1j exhaust upgrades that us 1j people have will simply bolt right up.

I was just about to do it when the vegas thing started. :biglaugh:

When we get back I'm going to get it going.

One thing. Get some pre bent 180 degree pipes for future manifolds. I don't know if it was supposed to be a joke but that thing is horrible. I just looked at the thread today so pardon me if the pics I just looked at are not representative of the real manifold. :1zhelp:

Very nice, Aaron. I hope all works out smoothly for you.

I've actually been doing some brainstorming and a lot of late night on-paper designs...I think I'm going to start experimenting to.

I'm thinking about bolting up a CT26 to...

a...

7MGTE. :D

Whadda' ya think, fellas? :p

J/K, but anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome.
Best of luck.
