sounds good, but the 2JZGTE is set up for sequential turbo operation, so you will either have to dummy this up or convert them to paralel operation.
its simple to plumb twin turbos on a straight 6, cyls 123 go to one turno, 456 go to the other.
good luck!

you are going to spend alot of money for not much power increase using 2J turbos. If your going to spend time and money making a custom manifold, at least use two turbos with enough flow for some decent power like two sr20 turbos or two rb25/vg30 turbos.
ive had twin t25s and twin vg30 turbos on a 1J and they were nice, and thats only 2.5 litre. There is a company in america that sells a twin turbo manifold for the 7MGTE, u can find it by googling.

Twin turbo could be a good thing, but not with the 2JZ turbos. You'd be lucky to squeeze 250rwkw out of them, which isn't a lot when you consider how much it will cost you. Remember only one of the 2JZ turbos has a wastegate (and it has been proven time and again it is much too small), and as mentioned above you won't be able to use the sequential system so it will be just as laggy as a CT26 if not more so. There are much better options out there if you want to go TT.

the turbo's arent too bad they have been rebuilt with steal wheels and shafts, i have seen them take over 25psi of boost... that was on the 2j tho... plus i have them jus lieing around, so i dont have to go out and buy them...
i am pretty new to this so please forgive my ignorance

Ed, Ed, Ed. You may have possessed the turbo... but you never owned it.

if it's a GE, you'll run into more problems than it's worth

sell the steel wheel 2J items, contribute the money towards the new ones. Vg30 turbos can be had for 4-500 dollars each. you are going to have issues with wastegate stuff as norbie said if u use the 2J ones

I'm wondering - did Ed:
1. Posess the turbos
2. Own the turbos
3. Or were the turbos posessed BY Ed??
4. Perhaps the turbos were just plain posessed?
5. Maybe Ed was posessed?
(the possibilities are endless. Anyone care to contribute?)

im putting twin T28's off an R32 GTR on my soarer very soon, i was quite suprised when I picked them up as to the size of the exhaust housing, it was rather small in comparison to the size of the compressor housing, that would suggest they wouldnt be as laggy as people have suggested, i cant wait to get it finished
