All I wanted to do was clean some oil/dust in some areas in the engine bay and I ended up doing all this > My cheap mods :)
1st...my glove kept me company :)

And the old is sitting next to my $20 7MGTE HKS downpipe modified to fit the 1jz > and it fits like a glove.

Here is one K26 Turbo compared to the stocker....the stock turbo housing is so puny compared to the K26.....and two of these will find a new home in the engine bay soon :)

Very Nice Stuff

where do people keep finding those K26 Twin Kits for the 1J?

Thanks. I am actually making my own setup. These are from a porsche > Picked two of them up for pretty cheap and I think after I get my flanges, they will be fairly easy to make and bolt up.

These are not the Blitz ones.

Ah ok, but still very cool.

Are you planning on making them both Face Forward or are you going to try and Match the Stock Setup?

Yes both will face the same way to keep the piping a bit simple. I need to figur out at what angle and height I want these mounted...

So is that, yes they well face the same way as in the same way as stock or the same way as in facing forward the same way.
