Yes this engine exists but is found in few cars, you will have to find out of the head port spacing/shape are the same on the 1jz-ge and 1jz-gte to see if your manifold bolts up.

layton i wouldnt bother, the car will be an absolute pig to drive and sluggish as all hell, you will get worse fuel economy, power will be way down, and personally they dont sound that great with the turbos removed haha.
I dont know the legal bizzo of it, but being that you are changing the motor from its factory designation, would that require it to be engineered and emission tested?

Yea thats what i was thinking about. you would think that the gte head just has less compression so it may just sit up higher.
Cheers, if worse comes to worse ill buy some cheap ebay singe turbo manifold and modify it eg cut of flange plate and flip it and cut of external gate flange..my mates a boiler maker so should be able to figure something out

Haha yea i know, but its gotta be better than driving with blown turbos.
I was also thinking about this, i doubt they would care that a p plater is now NOT driving a turbo. Im not sure yet, maybe ill just keep my original turbos.

Nah in South australia you can drive turbo cars its just that i have a single turbo which if the coppers see ill get defected for then i have to bring it all back to stock and etc and take it over the pits and let them go over every single thing in my car

Haha yea, after i upgrade the suspension and brakes and pay an engineer like 500 bucks an hour hah then they'll be the ones laughing. Then theyll do me for something else haha

brakes? suspension? The soarer is factory turbo and as such all your doing is changing the turbo.
Ive had 3 mates get there cars engineered with big highmount turbos and cost 700 to get the plate, they got all the other mods engineered while it was there as well like the bucketseats etc.

Layton so long as you can show them that it does not make more HP than stock the engineers will not ream you. BUT The EPA will.... you have to have it tested so that it meets emissions If you have a smart tuner he can do this But the process is costly from the EPA side of things around $5000.I am going to look into it further to see exactly what thay require.

Yer mate Stainless pipes welded to the banjo fittings(water) from the turbo . Place the stainless far enough away from the turbo so less heat will get to the rubber hose you will use ONLY as a joiner to the engine. so make the stainless ones as long as possible and use as little joiner hose as possible The oil feed should be a stainless braided hose wih out the clear plastic coating around it. Oil return should be made from steel again make it far enough to clear the manifold and use as little joining hose as possible. I use the stock silicon hose and make the pipe to suit only because 22 mm high temp oil hose is near on impossible to get. were you have the fitting on the sump that joins the front and rear turbo oil drains take it off and get the side you are not using as a drain welded up.if you just plug the side you are not using you can leave your self wide open for a massive oil leak at some stage. I have see one guy do it (plug it) and with in 1 min he emptied the sump of all oil and it just come out of another performance shop be for he ask me to fix it all up.
