Im thinking about swaping in a 2jz into one of my supra's and ive been doing alot of research and found that there is not enough clearance for the stock twin setup. Iv saw several people remove their ABS and were able to fit the stock twin setup. So, my question is how much clearance is needed for them to fit? is it as simple as rerouting the ABS lines? or would i have mess with the firewall to get it to fit? Because i read that the stock twins fit fine in a RHD but havent been able to find out if the firewalls are the same. I would like to keep the stock twin setup to make it look stock, without ditching my ABS system. Any one have any info on this? I would appreciate it, thanks!

you have to tap in the firewall a little bit.. its not that big of a deal.. I just bent up the abs lines

heres what I did.. and I did it after the paint.. only a minor crack in it ::doh::

I've sold the car, so cant get any more pics.. but I just bent them up like 3-4 inches and removed the bolt holding them (threaded hole you see in the pic)

just the engine is no problem, its the stock turbo's wich are the pain in the.... and by slightly hammering down the firewall you'll have no problem at all :)
