Looking to buy a gt35 twin scroll turbo, I'll be building my own header also, So I'll be posting things as i move foward.
New turbo has made it here. Time for some work now.

I removed the factory turbo, (which is for sale)
Now just playing around on different ways to mount it.

I'm also looking for a exhaust flange that bolts to the head, I have read that 3rd gen and 4th gen are the same, but i'm have troubles finding one for sale, because I have to build my own exhaust manifold

Thank you for the site link for the exhaust flange

The turbo is just a ebay brand. but the COMPRESSOR WHEEL DIAMETER: 58 MM / 76MM
TURBINE WHEEL DIAMETER : 62MM / 70MM
EXHAUST TRIM: 70 A/R t4 divided.

The model is: TX-60 TURBO CHARGER 70 A/R

I dont know of anybody that has run this turbo, But i looked at the spec and thought it should be a good fit.
Started and mostly finished my own built header, I think it came out good for my first one.

Still need to install my wastegate.

Removed the header so i can weld it up,


Good lord man! I'd never be able to get a torch into all of those crevices!
So much epicnesssss

I have to ask, are you going to be dropping the rear end at all or just leaving it that high?

i droped it down, ya, it was way to high in the back, i havent showed any recent pictures of the outside, sorry,
Built my wastgate today, came out great





I built my exhaust, and finished it off with a stainless steel tip, It was a old one that I had laying around.

It kind of looks different since the exhaust is on the left side now.

entered into my first drag race event, Import faceoff, I was in forced induction pro, and took 3rd place, won $100 dollars,


You are a beast. Few people appreciate how hard it is to make something from scratch that can survive a beating at a track. But I do! So great work thumbsup.gif
Looking rather awesome sir!
I need a new transmission, so I did have trouble shifting it, I did a slow 13.60 in the 1/4 mile.

I do have a new transmission being currently being rebuilt, I'll up date with a new track time at the end of this month.

Lol a slow 13.6 he says. That's not even that bad
That's pretty slow for a lightweight RWD turbo car haha, its about what a OEM fatass supra runs. But I am sure it will pick up greatly as you get used to the car and get it dialed in.

Sounds about right if he's pushing around 250 hp at the flywheel.

I think he used the transmission from a Tacoma? So it's probably not the best gearing for performance.

People can have any car, exotic, autoshow, drag car but we can confirm that there is mad love for these 6gc.

13.6 isnt too bad. ned to know how much HP the engine is making.

Nice car, the thought crossed my mind to flip the motor around in my spare ST185 but I already have a 3SGTE/J160/G282 KP61 Starlet in the works

13.6 , what was your 60ft or your trap speed i could approximate your power from that

>The transmission is very close to a r154. The transmission is a r150. still just a strong as the supra transmission. It just has different gearing.

I'll be getting some pictures of the rear end suspension set up soon, I used most of a toyota previa van rear suspension.



im going to have an R150 out of a 1995 T100 for sale real soon. are you interested?
