Bryan's 1uz twin turbo build

What happened to the 7M? Is it alright? Dunno if you just got bored or broke something... I could use some parts.:icon_surp
the 7m finally blew while i was roadracing, this was like the 5th event its been to, 2 of them being in canada, so i must say it held up pretty well for a stock na-t @13psi pushing 300whp. i'm just glad it didnt happen in canada. I got the idea of a 1uz when iceberg mentioned it to me, so i kinda just went along with it. i figure i've never seen this done in person so why not be different. street bling lol
Insane project man, can't wait to see what it does once its done.
Just a thought, not sure if you have already considered it or not but why not modify the flanges and make them dual DDP's?

^ no room. i'm barely fitting everything as-is. initially thats what i wanted but i am really close on space. I'll be running solid mounts now just to make sure the motor doesnt move and take away what little space i have to run the pipes. i'll hopefulley get some good pics up this weekend, i plan on finishing all the welding then
so its the weekend! i want to see pics!! im currently undergoing the same project as you. got everything but the computer and harness. quick question: can't i just use the bellhousing for a 1j for my r154? what else would i need to get the tranny mated up? thanks, justin
SO i guess im long overdue for a picture update. On friday i was able to finish cutting up the pipes with the grinder and then on saturday my buddy came over and welded me up the pipes. i still need to grind down some of the welds because i want the pipes to be somewhat smooth. I'm stuck on what i am going to do about the oil return line right now.. everything is such an absolute tight fit that i have no idea where i can fit the fittings. I was also able to pick up 96 altima power steering and lines (the high pressure line fits! whhoohoo) Please keep in mind that i am just your average car buff, most of you are probably in the same spot as me with only a hand grinder and some rachets and motivation. Both me and my welder buddy graduated with IT degrees, so you can see how far off this kind of work is to our careers and we are learning as we go, but it's a whole lota fun. Hope this motivates some of you guys.
on with the pics:
Here is a shot of my new rad support. in case you didnt know, my new rad is sitting where the condensor used to be.

does anyone want to donate me stock oil lines? i'll pay shipping. as long as the side that bolts to the turbo is good and i have some usable hard line after than i'll take it. i plan on doing some custom fittings on that hard line if possible. thanks
oh my god how have i been sleeping so hard on this thread??!
dude this is going to be insane. youre making such steady progress! piping looks awesome, and the whole assembly looks BEASTLY!
are they both stock trim ct26's? side shot makes the intake housing look bored a little? maybe im crazy.. but DAMN

bryan i have a parts car ill donate what ever you need as long as you help me wire my motor (auto to manual)
^lmk when ur gonna get it done..
its been a very slow week, i did some grinding to the flanges DP flanges so that i can make them both wide mouth for increased flow. no pics of that yet. but that was a pita.. grinding thru 1/2" steel with a grinder and trying to make it as clean as i could. I also did manage to clean the engine bay. The g/f came over and actually helped me with that. So this is where it stands now. i need to do some minor cutting to the chasis still to allow for fresh air of the driver side turbo and then it should be ready for a coat of por15 :love: Enjoy the blackberry pictures! (was too lazy to find my camera)
