Its not going to fit without a lot of fab work, there was a guy about 2 years ago that did that shit and had to re-fab like everything to make them work. I wish posts on the forums could go back that far.

If you don't trust used turbos, why are you going to put used turbos on your engine?
I've seen the us ct12s but not the jdms.. we'll just try it.. its all sitting in my garage, and will only take a bit of work to try..Spaniard said:
cause they are free.....im not paying 250 shipped for used turbos and take a chance on one or both being dead
i dont trust the seller its not the turbos fault it was sold for way too much money when it was blown

If your having issues with bad turbos, and this doesn't work out for you, I have a set that I'm willing to get rid of for kinda cheap. They were working fine when they were on my 1j but the only thing wrong with them is the front turbo housing is broken due to crashing my last supra. The turbo itself was unaffected. It's just the front housing you'll need to replace. Since the wreck I've gone single turbo so no longer have the need for them. If not interested would you be willing to sell me the front turbo housing off of those bad turbos?
well maybe when i get time i have a set of 2jz twins off an aristo sitting on the floor right now a broke 1jz, and 2 twins off a 1jz up in a box somehwere.. i'm sure it could work.. I believe anout did it and explained it all in SF infact i think it's in the sticky
really??? do you remember if it was a LOT of work? like a custom fabbed mani or just modifying the y-pipe?
I'm pretty sure the turbos will bolt to the manifold, but will just need a modified y pipe cause placment might be a tad off (maybe can machine stock y pipe to fit)
me and bryan (fstlane88) are in the process of installing ct12bs on his 1j. the kit consists of two front ct12bs and a custom y-pipe. a stud was drilled and tapped on the turbo flange to bolt to the 1jz 3-bolt manifold.
so its that easy?
i finally found Arnouts thread and he said it was a LOT of work. but i think he used the USDM turbos not the 3 bolt JDM turbos

I've seen pics of aristo twins on a 1j where it appeared they just bolted the entire assembly on, meaning it was using the factory y-pipe and such. I don't know what it took to bolt them on that way though.
From what I have seen and worked on first hand, it is a lot of work. It mainly depends on how well the y-pipe is made. That is the hardest part of it. If you have a very good quality y-pipe like Arnout had, then the whole thing shouldn't be harder than bolting on ct12as.
If you want to use ct12bs on a 1jz, use two front turbos, make a y-pipe, drill and tap for a stud so it will fit the 1j manifolds, and bang the firewall to make room for the rear turbo.
