boosted 1uz in a mkiii

[viper92086]

Hey guys so i am thinking about swapping a 1uz into my mkIII since i notice its a pretty straight foward swap, but i also want to boost it. My plans were to use two stock ct-26 turbos. From my understanding i can flip the stock headers around to face foward is that correct? also someone had mentioned on my forums that the stock 1uz ecu can handle up to around 8psi of boost with a rise rate fuel pressure regulator. does that sound about right? my last question for now is, since the v8 afm is a upgrade for the mkIII's can i use my maf translator in blow through on the 1uz? i figure its the same connector and same signal. thanks

yup, 8-9psi is the threshold for ECU with FMU. For twins yes. your mani's can be flipped around but you may beed to eliminate your A/C pump and "possibly" ned to flip the alternator but it's been done many times.


check out lextreme.com, go to turtorials, go to twin turbo and he has detailed pics of how the fitting was done.

i guess my main concern is if twin ct26 provide enough flow, and will the maft basic work.
