Flanges going to get laser cut and engraved. These flanges are for the exhaust manifold side and are stainless steel and 1/2” thick. These things will be no joke. Oh and yes, I AM engraving them

Folks I will NOT be skimping out on the Turbo JPipe as you can see. Schedule 40 stainless 304. I want these to last just as long as the truck. These will not rust and not crack.

DOM tubing with massive amounts of triangulation too? It looks like the j-pipe can be duel-purposed as an engine hoist mounting location.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is typical exhaust tubing made with, or the OEM y-pipe, just for reference?

Most exhaust pipe is either 16 or 14 gauge. 14 gauge is pretty beefy.

Big difference between exhaust tubing and turbo manifold though. It is important to use heavy tubing in a turbo manifold because you have considerable back pressure and the exhaust stays in the manifold much longer so it is hotter than say a set of headers.

Plus it has to support the weight of the turbo doing the stupid things we do in our trucks

Maybe you should do a Collector's Edition cloisonné enameled version:Flanges going to get laser cut and engraved. These flanges are for the exhaust manifold side and are stainless steel and 1/2” thick. These things will be no joke. Oh and yes, I AM engraving them

OMG YES!
You had me at stickers. I might need two. One for the rear window.

One sticker per turbo. These will be well regulated.

But I have another one
Nice! I just want to hear that exhaust flutter so I can sound like an f250 idling. Make 'em wonder.
I want a switch on the waste gate so I can get the hiss-pop while sitting at a stop light............While I'm mall-crawling......

I might go part time just so I can do sick burnouts for no reason while hiss-popping

Although instructions will be made for #80series #LandCruiser #1fzturbo I figured I’d go into a little more detail about the oil drain fitting. The oil drain is gravity fed back into oil pan but MUST be above the oil line...or else it’s dumb.
Since the 1FZ motor has two oil pans, we are going to be tapping into the upper aluminum pan. Once the center hole is marked and drilled then we need to make sure that the oil drain fitting is absolutely straight on with the hole AND the mount doesn’t shift when trying to mark the mounting hole locations for drilling and tapping. I will be supplying everything needed INCLUDING the Teflon dowel used to indicate the fitting...because I <3 U!

No shortage of options. These can be found all over but since most likely won’t go this route, it won’t be part of the kit.
