ya I put it on.
I finished putting the car back together about 10 minutes ago. I'm gonna go shower and sleep and stuff.
yeah, today i've tried to take my ct26 off, but I got tired just after looking at it, maybe I'll do it this spring, car is sitting for winter anyway 
Nice work Joe BTW it seems like 1jz has less working space then 7m, or am I wrong?

Yeah, swapping twins is the most un-fun job in the world.
Joe, I think you broke the first rule of 1JZs. You put the twins back on. They only go one way, "off". Now you know why most people take them off, then just say "Fuck it, I'm going single".
I took the twins off twice, once to put on my y-pipe, and once to replace blown turbos. It was twice too many. haha.

ahhh... the joy of having the engine out of the car!
Chris and I screwed around for about 45 minutes in the garage last night and the twins are already almost off the 2j
Joe you shouldve taken blown twins as a blessing and just gone single!

well yeah but I don't really feel like taking another hit in the wallet after I just bought the car. maybe I should start collecting parts slowly. maybe this time next year I'll be ready.
here's some pics of the upgraded ypipe I switched to. If I didn't decide to use it now I'm sure I never would since the turbos have to come off to change the ypipe.
you can easily tell the difference. should be fun. I have to get the DP made tomorrow since the ypipe is longer than the stock one so the hks dp I had won't work anymore.

lol... I wore gloves to protect my pretty hands :love:
again, I know this may not seen all that neat to some of you, but I'm proud of myself for doing it 100% on my own from start to finish (with the help of jose on phone tech support a few times). Sometimes it's just easier for me to have driftmotion do the work since their work is top notch and they're right around the corner.
It's probably the most involved work I've ever had to do on my own and wasn't sure if I would be able to get it done. If I can change out the damn turbos on a 1J I can do most anything.So yeah.
and it feels good to start the car and drive when you're the one who just did the work. I tell you though... if I ever have to take those damn things off again, I'm just gonna find a way to upgrade to single.
