CT26 adapter manifolds for the 1JZ?

[Ken]

Do you guys still plan to offer these manifolds? I was hoping to do a cheapo single on my dad's cress if and when the twins go.

[bigaaron]

Yes, I'm still going to do it. Been very busy for the last month straight. Finally got some jobs out of the way, and I will be working on this asap.

Ill pioneer a singlt CT26. Ill go .57 trim and call it a day!

[Brewster]

omg, all hell is going to break loose with the 7m vs 1j with ct26 debates.

i foresee many bunched panties.

[bigaaron]

LOL you guys are too funny...

I'm am also very anxious to see how it does compared to on a 7m!

[angrydrone]

I am planning on buying a 1j car in a few weeks and I thought it would be fun to throw on one of my ct26's. It wont be hard bc the car is already single.

[bigaaron]

I dropped off the 1jz manifolds and a 7m exhaust manifold today to have flanges made to match out of 304 stainless! So now it is officially underway to become a reality! Flanges are expected to be in by the end of next week, but I usually add a few extra days to a week to whatever I'm told when it comes to manufacturing parts like this.

[mk3forme]

any updates???

[bigaaron]

The flanges came in, and there should be a prototype for us to test fit sometime next week.

[mk3forme]

awesome!

[supradan22]

I wanna see the results good job Aaron.

[Doward]

Any more news on this?

[bigaaron]

I went last Thursday to check it out, they are making a jig right now off of my manifold, but they wanted a turbo to check all the measurements, but we don't even have a ct26 right now to give them! LOL We sold them all, upgraded to 57 trim for customers. So I need to get one over there this week, and then I will have a new prototype to mock up on an engine. All the flanges and tubing is ready to go. It's going to be thick wall 304 stainless, with what looked like 1/2" thick flanges.

[mk3forme]

beautiful. That is too funny that you dont have a CT26! What kinda supra specialist are you???? :biglaugh: Who does your uprgrades on those anyway? MDC?

[Big Wang Bandit]

He will be getting a CT26 soon enough. I have one ready to ship :)

[bigaaron]

No, we do the 57 trim updrades for $500 plus return shipping.

HellsLegion is gonna get a serious hookup for helping me out with this btw. :)

[Big Wang Bandit]

Just doing my duty! :bigthumb:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/HellsLegion/ct26.jpg

I never thought this little turbo would make a big difference one day lol

[bigaaron]

Got it back today for mock up. Mark's turbo needed to come off for the final welding on the dp and wastegate tube, and for us to take the turbo to get machined because it didn't tighten down properly on the cold side, so it was a good time to test our manifold real quick. It has 1/2" flanges and .120" wall 304 stainless tubing. This manifold is going to be freakin strong!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/BigAaron/driftmotion/SANY0331-1.jpg

[mk3forme]

nice!!! Lets see if Mark likes the pic of his bid bad JZ with that cute lil CT26 on it.:biglaugh: Man is car has alot of history on it in the past month or more and he hasnt even been there to witness it. That sucks!

[SuprA70]

Aaron, you and Jose should've put the 60-1 sitting over in that back corner of your shop on that manifold :biglaugh:

It's not currently doing anything for the engine that it's bolted on to anyway, and save you the trouble of having to install it again later :evil2:

[mattjk]

Wow, that came out great!!!

[JustAnotherVictim]

I could have hooked you up with a few ct's, probably just send them to get upgraded though. Looks interesting.

Hey Aaron, How much does it run you guys to have flanges made? I need to have a couple 18RG exhaust flanges made and im trying to find a good place thats reasonable.

[JCP]

Aaron, I'm watching this thread closely.. if you know what I mean :D.

[JCP]

eh?

[bigaaron]

Wha?

[bigaaron]

Yeah, I know what JCP means... :)

[MA717MGTE]

i assume this is going to require a custom dp?

what kind of gains over the stock twins w/a stock ct26 do you expect?

[mattjk]

i think he placed the turbo to use any 7m downpipe...

[MA717MGTE]

sweet deal

[bigaaron]

i assume this is going to require a custom dp?


It was made with a BIC ddp on it, so it should fit with most 7m downpipes.



what kind of gains over the stock twins w/a stock ct26 do you expect?

For one, you will gain the 3-5 hours of your life it takes to change out the twins once they start smoking again. :biglaugh:
As for horsepower, people have made 350+ whp on a stock ct26, and 400+ whp on a 57 trim, should be the same on a 1jz.

A 60-1 ct26 w/BIC ddp, 540cc injectors, high compression, 2.6 1JZ, running on a Stinger shouldn't be too shabby either :evil2:

[Tim]

that manifold looks so sweet and the turbo sits perfectly. I can't wait until you guys start to sell these. I want one:naughty:

[mattjk]

So when is this going to be done? Still need a test car, or is that Mike T? :)

CT26 on 1jz beta manifold 1.0 is ready!
Going on a engine this weekend!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/BigAaron/driftmotion/SANY0468Large.jpg

[Big Wang Bandit]

Sick!

[bigaaron]

Nice work!


PS,
You've just successfully did what toyota did stock, in 1996+ 1JZ-GTE's :)

Actually.... the VVTI 1jz was introduced in 1997, and it had a CT15B which is a smaller turbo then a CT26.
AND, the VVTI head is different so you couldn't just put a VVTI single turbo on a non-VVTI 1jz-gte.
Even the block is different, so you would have to swap in a complete VVTI engine.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/BigAaron/SANY0467Medium.jpg


Just don't send them it off to lin for reproduction or you'll be seeing them on ebay within a few months for $100.

My manifold is 100% made in the US.

[bigaaron]

LOL, that makes it a 1997 model year :icon_razz

[improved]

According to the picture Aaron...you shaved...I guess all of Socal is cleaning up.:3d_frown:

Matt-

[MA717MGTE]

what's the spec's of that ct?

gonna dyno it?

[bigaaron]

It's a 57 trim, unclipped exhaust side. It's going to be dyno'd right after the engine is up and running. Tim is doing a 1jz install right now, and I'm going over on Sun with the turbo setup. He has the purfect setup for it because the 7m he pulled out already had an upgraded downpipe and exhaust system, and he has an afc and a boost controller. That was the thinking behind this setup to begin with, it lets people do a 1jz swap without having to sell their 7m turbo and exhaust upgrades at a loss, or, it's an inexpensive replacement/upgrade for stock twins that are smoking or damaged.

[mattjk]

Wow! that's beautiful, Aaron!

P.S. Did you get a new digicam?

[bigaaron]

Yeah, a cheap $200 Sanyo camera takes better video and pics then my $600 Fuji s7000.

[mattjk]

WOW! what model number?

Also, PM me a price on the manifold with the oil and coolant lines :D

[mk3forme]

beautiful Aaron. your a genious!

[Doward]

Just to ask - These look to bolt to the stock manifolds - and from what I'm seeing, this seems to push the CT26 further to the shock tower - will a one piece DDP still bolt to this with no problems?

[bigaaron]

I used the BIC ddp to mock this manifold up on the car. I can't really test it with every downpipe out there though, I guess it's possible there is a downpipe that might not fit, but that's what exhaust shops are for.

[Tim]

the motor will be in this weekend and Aaron is going to bring the setup over and we will get started on it. As soon as the car is running it is going straight to the dyno. Aaron has been a huge help with my swap and I think we will see very good results with this setup.

[Supraholics]

Nice work. I would like to see the difference in spool and such.

[The Amazing Spider-Man]

sweet job Aaron

[bigaaron]

My life will be incomplete until our ct26 manifold is running on the one and only Spiderman's show/drift/VIP/race 1jz MK3. :biglaugh:

[supradan22]

Do it Spider man in the name of Touge and for the powa of an upgraded Ct26.:runaway:

Godly pictures

Amazing

[bigaaron]

Thats really a cool idea, but after all the work of making oil lines, a down pipe, intercooler lines, couldnt you just buy an ebay manifold and a cheap 60-1 turbo for about the same price?

I already said that this manifold uses a 7m downpipe. The turbo most people already have. The lines and fittings will be included in my kit. You don't need an external wastegate. Maybe for you it's not a good idea, but I don't think you really grasp what this is all about. I have done several t3 and t4 turbo kit installs and none of them were even close to as easy as this kit was to install on Tim's car. They all required welding and extensive modifications. The manifolds don't even bolt on the head without removing studs and cutting them down. A fully custom downpipe is time consuming and/or expensive. How about the wastegate dump tube? I know you love "Lin" (the guy who you say singlehandedly makes every one of the many thousands of Chinese manifolds that get imported to the US). If you want to go that way then go for it, I'm fine with that.

Scenario #1: You have a 7m in your car with a bhg. The bhg happened right after you put an upgraded ct26 on your 7m along with an upgraded exhaust system with a BIC downpipe (or similar). So you are tired of the 7m and want to go 1jz. Most people in that case would have to sell the ct26 and downpipe at a loss in order to get money to build another turbo kit for their new 1jz. Now they would not have to. Most people on this forum either have a ct26 or can get one for $150 or less. You don't have to upgrade it to run it on the 1jz.

Scenario #2: 1jz turbos have problems with smoking or just blowing up and going down the exhaust pipe. So yours go out and you spend 3+ hours getting them off the engine. This ct26 turbo kit goes back on the engine in about an hour! (depends on how fast you work). CT26 turbos are proven turbos and many people do rebuilds on them. Much better then $1400 to rebuild twins, with no guarantee of their longevity afterwords.

[Tim]

The kit that Aaron made for my car fits perfectly and the install went very smooth. The turbo sits perfecly in the engine bay and even the downpipe meets the exhaust perfectly so no need for exhaust modfications. Frees up a lot of room in the engine bay and looks bad ass!!

[Brewster]

So, the million dollar question. Price?

[supra90turbo]

I like the final product! Looks awesome guys :bigthumb:

[polobai]

interesting.......i am curious of the #s on the dyno compared to the 7m motor. I see a 1jz/ct26 combo in my benzo in the future.........

[tissimo]

Make a version with a t3 flange and an external gate.. would be a sweet budget setup I would think (pick up a new t3/t4 57/60 trim for 500-550 tial 38 gate for 200 and oil lines for 150 and have a 400-450 whp kit for cheap (less the 1k)

I have a feeling this already is a 400whp kit, but we'll see what the dyno says. :icon_wink

But honestly if you are going to go with a t3 or t4 turbo you might as well get a China manifold.

[T34418L3ONE]

you could always upgrade to a SP/BOSS/NOTRICE bolt on a just get crazy with it if the ct isnt enough.

[bigaaron]

The only issue with the larger turbo might be the clearance between the turbo and the shock tower. I'll take a few measurements.

true.. and they do make ct26->t3 adapters with external gate ports on them if you wanted..

[mattjk]

i think next, Aaron should make twin adapters that use stock wrx turbos... you can pick those up used for like $150, and most only have 10-20K miles on them. I changed my wrx turbo at 3000 miles and I could only get $150 for it!

;)

[Big Wang Bandit]

And I would buy that FAST!

[supramike7m]

this is awesome aaron, looks great. you do some nice work ill tell you that. just may have to do this setup on the new car. :biglaugh:

[1jzMoe]

like someone said earlier, what is the price gonna be? and how soon can i get one?

[mattjk]

ANY UPDATES???

[bigaaron]

It's going to be around $350 for the manifold and the lines and adaptors.
They will be ready sometime next week. I just went in today with a turbo to have a slight change made to smooth the bend on the front pipe and give a little more clearance for the compressor outlet and vacuum fitting. I'm having 14 more made up, they would be ready to ship beginning of the week of April 9th.

[BAP]

An thoughts of having a different plate available for other turbos like the GT-30 or GT-35?

I am confident that the quality you guys are producing is much higher than some of the other options out there.

[Brewster]

Awesomeness.

[bigaaron]

The final version was decided on today! I had a slight change made to the front tube to allow for some extra clearance for the turbo outlet so the hose is not so close to the manifold, and also to give more clearance for the wg vacuum fitting. There are two different positions on the compressor housing for the vacuum fitting. Now both will fit great. Tim may have his 1jz running and going to the dyno this weekend, I can't wait!!!

[1jzMoe]

is it going to be first come first serve, or you taking prepay? i want one and im going to bolt it up to a 7m td06 with the manifold adapter and turbo elbow that came with the kit, do you know if that will work or do i have to modify it?

[bigaaron]

I would have to see how it fits in the engine bay, because my manifold makes the turbo sit about 3/4" to 1" further out to the passenger side. Do you have any pics of it installed on a Supra? Otherwise it should fit. I ordered the adaptor flanges and they should be to me by next week. I will have at least a few manifolds this week. Tim should be finished with his swap already but I didn't hear from him over the weekend. As soon as he has the engine up and running he's going to go dyno it.

[Tim]

Engine is finally up and running. Just have to make some IC pipes and it is ready to go to the dyno:naughty:

[trydrew]

:ttiwwp:

Sorry I couldnt help. Even though I don't have a 1J, I thinks its awesome what you guys are doing. Ive been watching this thread and I can't wait to see the dyno results.

[86_sports_1jz]

yea can't wait to see the dyno results and for the kit to be out... yea april 9th just in time for my birthday!!! let me know when its ready i might just get this instead of a big single to replace my blown twins

[jtamulis]

I'm so pleased to see you guys finish this manifold. If anyone wants a JT
series turbo for it, I'll put an O-Trim in instead of a normal P-trim (for the
smaller displacement engine) for free upgrade for anyone who has this product.

Well done.

Jeff

[bigaaron]

^ shameless plug :biglaugh:

Take some measurements of your turbos for me please, there is only about 1" of clearance from the turbo to the shock tower with this manifold.

[jtamulis]

hmmm, yikes. I'll try to get somepics with measurements.

[supra8903]

im looking for engine bay pocs, with intake and all..... I wanna see how the whole engine looks w/ a ct26, does it look too small next to a 1j?

[bigaaron]

It looks nice, and once Tim gets the car on the road I'm sure we will have plenty of pics and videos along with dyno numbers. Look at Tim's avitar, it's a pic of the engine bay with his ct26 and with the filter on it.

[kwnate]

It's about time someone put a big single on that little motor :biglaugh:

[Tim]

got the ic piping done today, Going to take it for a drive tomarrow and see how it is. I will have some pics for you guys tomarrow, and the car will see the dyno this week if everything is good!!:naughty:

[jdub]

It's about time someone put a big single on that little motor :biglaugh:


The CT26 looks so cute sitting next to it too! :D

[OneJArpus]

i'll keep an eye out on this :) if the twins blow and i want to go single i can go this route and sell the Y-pipe & downpipe i have :) only sucky part is i'd have to buy a new down pipe & manfold and ct26, might as well go big single hah. GOOD WORK GUYS :)

[87nasupra]

Are you guys going to be using a stock ct26 or something like the upgraded 57 trim?

[bigaaron]

57 trim. Stock ct26 would probably be good for about the same as stock twins, 57 trim can do over 400whp.

Tim had a little hangup with his swap, he's going to be driving it by Monday.
The issue is not related to the turbo or manifold.

[Tim]

Yah,
Sorry guys, but my stupid ass put the clutch disk on backwards:nono: So I will have to fix that fixed this weekend and then I will get some dyno #'s ASAP.

[OneJoeZee]

OWNED!!!

[bigaaron]

Tim drove it finally :runaway: and he sounded very happy about how it is running with the ct26 manifold! :love:

Just in time too, Jon called me and he's shipped my flanges, should be to me by tomorrow! :icon_surp

I'm picking up 5 hose sets tomorrow, so we are good to go!

Tim's going to try to post some videos and get it on the dyno asap.

[MDCmotorsports]

Aaron: You have 5 more 1jz flanges on their way to you. 10 made it out in the air shipment.

[bigaaron]

No problem.....unless we sell 11 manifolds this week! :naughty: :biglaugh:

[lilazni3uoy]

hrmmmm very tempting!

[Tim]

Finally got the car running after putting in my clutch disk backwards:aigo: I took the car for a drive and on only 7 psi the car pulls very hard!! The ct26 57trim spools nicely and the boost comes on hard. The Driftmotion manifold setup is the shit and works bitchin!! The turbo spools quick and the car is surprisingly fast on low boost. I'm going to turn the boost up to 12psi tomarrow and see how it goes!! Anyways here are some pics of the final product and I will have some vids in a couple of days including some dyno #'s.

[lilazni3uoy]

getting tempting

[bigaaron]

After finally getting all the parts together, we are ready to ship. The kits are going to be $375 plus shipping.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/BigAaron/driftmotion/1jzct26adaptormanifoldkit.jpg
I was shooting for $350, but consider that the ct26 oil adaptor flange and the 1jz oil return -10 adaptor together are about $80, plus the two hoses are about $80, adaptor and block off for the oil outlets on the block, then add all the metric bolts, and 3/8 push lock hose for coolant at $3 a foot, and there's a good $200+ worth of stuff not even including the manifold.

[mk3forme]

Nice work as usual Aaron. I will definitely go with this Kit when I start working on my JZ. The 7m build gets finished first though

[MA717MGTE]

nice, any idea of the hp differences over the stock twins?

[Tim]

Turned the boost up to 11psi and the car pulls really hard. I talked to a friend of mine and we are going to dyno it for sure this week. Can't wait to see what it will do. I will get some videos today or tomarrow!! Just need to find someone to hold the camera while I drive!!:aigo:

[stealth]

Nice.

[MKIIINA]

so... dyno numbers? i got a buddy with some twins that i think need blowing up ;)

[MA717MGTE]

video's and dyno slip or ban..:naughty:

video's and dyno slip or ban..:naughty:

I 2nd that vote. Slip, Clip or Ban :evil2:

[Tim]

Be patient, the soonest they could get me a dyno time is on Wed. the 2nd

[Idealsupra]

i have to say aaron thats a pimpass kit you got there.... very feasible single option with the many options for the ct....

noice!

[cresskid]

any updates?

[bigaaron]

Tim took it to a Dynapack dyno, and untuned it made 272whp at 11psi. Dynapack dynos usually register a little lower then a dynojet, and I'm happy with the result. Most of the 1jz engines making more hp then that usually have boost creep up to 12psi, sometimes closer to 13psi. The real increases will be realized at higher boost, and top end horsepower. He's got some videos he should be posting soon. With the ct26 you can run 18psi daily and not worry about twins blowing up. We'll have some more numbers soon, we're putting one on Mike's new 1jz build in the next few days!

[OneJoeZee]

Which CT is Tim using again? stock?

[bigaaron]

57 trim unclipped.

[Tim]

I will have the vids up tomarrow, I am going to my friends house and we are going to upload them off of his camera.

Here is a small clip off of my crappy digi cam

Way to go! I see you made some updates on your site Aaron, nice! ;)

[MA717MGTE]

waiting on them video's lol

[honestabe]

How much of a PITA is the install for this kit? I am very seriously looking into getting it since this will be the first step towards my future goals (with a much bigger single). Also, besides the kit and a ct26, what else would someone like me who is running a stock 1J with a 3" exhaust system have to get?

Adam

[bigaaron]

It takes 3 times as long to get the twins off as it does to install this kit. You will need a 7m downpipe and ct26, and an intake and lower ic pipe.

[honestabe]

Thanks Aaron

[honestabe]

Will I have to also do an oil change and radiator flush when I do this conversion?

[The Reaper]

272 on 11 psi isn't tooooo bad i was expecting more tho.

on 13 psi i was hanging side by side with my buddies car with 308 whp 1JZ

i wanna see some real boost pulls not 11 psi!!!

[bigaaron]

I have not been able to take a look at Tim's car since I dropped off the manifold. I wasn't expecting more power then the twins make at less boost then the twins run. He got an afpr kit from me since then, so we are going to increase the fuel pressure and then lean it out with an afc. That will let him run more boost before it hits fuel cut. He said it was really rich when they did the dyno pulls. It's got a lot left in it, I'm not discouraged at all.

[tissimo]

graph?

I'll post it when I have it.

Tim does not work for Driftmotion, and is not obligated to post if he doesn't have the time.

Mike is running one on his new 1jz with a standalone, it will be a good way to test the capability of this setup.

Sorry guys, I haven't been able to post much. I am working 6 days a week now and having some family issues at home. I promise to get some more videos this weekend as the ones me and my friend took came out very fuzzy because of the contrast on his camera. I got the Driftmotion fuel pressure kit and AFC so I am going back to the dyno with a little tuning to see what I can get out of. Overall the setup is kicking ass and running strong!!

Are there pics of this setup anywhere (sorry if i missed them)?...im interested. There's a 1J in my very near future:naughty: .

cool thanks aaron.

sorry to revive the thread, but did we ever get tuned and get some final results?

[bigaaron]

Don't be sorry, I have these in stock! Both cars they are on locally are going through other modifications and improvements so neither has been able to really push the boost quite yet. I got a ride in Tim's car at 14 psi the other day after we built a 4.30 lsd diff for his car, made from the gears of a 4.30 open diff and the carrier of a 3.90 lsd! It was impressive....great power, quick spool, and even nice top end all the way to redline. I still promise that you will love this kit the first time you drive it! I still believe that it's the best option for someone looking for a mild turbo upgrade for up to about 400whp, with super easy install, not too expensive, and more reliable then the stock twins. ESPECIALLY if you already have a ct26 and a 7m downpipe, then it's a no-brainer.

Even if I never sell them all, I am happy with the project. It's very rewarding to think up something new, get it fabricated and installed, and then have it live up to all your expectations.

I promise you will sell one to me Aaron. Once I get this JZ ready. It will be a while though

If one of the guys running this kit, when they have a chance get an pic of the lower IC pipe setup they are running, I'd really appreciate it. I have some piping left over from my IC and hardpipe install and wanting to see how they ran it. Mainly to see if I need to buy more piping.

It runs almost exactly like it does on a 7m. The turbo is only about 3/4" further out then it is on a 7m.

For whomever might still be wondering in the future. I just used my cooleze lower from my 7m setup. From looking at it, I suppose if I would have used the stock 1JZ IC it might have been a direct fit but I also bought the IC/IC pipe kit from Aaron and just used an elbow from the kit he sent along with my cooleze pipe coming from the turbo. There is a picture of it here.

I also ordered and am using piping from Aaron, but only have a couple straights and one 45* bent pipe left, so I'm probably going to have to buy a 90* bend.

Thanks for the info, and that's a really clean swap!!
