Nick... there is no elbow for that you must create one just like I made mine.
Alex the basic rule of thumb is... the bigger the AR.. the longer the spool. that 1jz will have no issue spooling that turbo.
There is formula that you can use to measure the inducer and exducer of the the exhaust and compressor side to get the true AR. I will hook you up with that info shortly.
you cant go bases off the outside of the turbo. Pull the housings off and take pictures of it for me with a ruler next to it. You will need a measuring caliper to get the sizes of the inducer and exducer.

worked on the car all day today, got the hood and pass fender painted, wiper cowl and wiper blades plasti dipped, and got about 70% of the fuse box relocation complete. dont have any pics of the painted body pieces, it got too dark.
picked up a ps reservoir, from an s13, got it for $6. doesnt mount up perfect but i can get it to work easily
bay looks pretty good without any wires
had to start today by chopping off the firewall plug
got the wiper cowl looking pretty fresh
started labeling each wire, there were a total of 47 or 48 i think
took out about 4 feet of wire in the beginning
this is what was left to put on the pass side under the airbag tray
then I put all the wiring/plugs that need to be in the bay in their general area so i could plan out where to run each wire under the dash
separated each fuse box wire so they wouldnt be under stress when i loom them up
and this is where is pretty much where i left off, i got a little farther than this after the pic
I should be able to get the fuse box wiring completely done by tomorrow, hopefully get the rest of the car spray bombed, and maybe finish up the trunk area with the battery mount. if anyone has some information regarding switching the 240 fuel hard lines to sit underneath the driver's side, please let me know. It is something i would like to do but since i do not have a jack or stands i cannot even see up under the car to get an idea of how much work it is.
thanks

got some more of the harness done, after this pic i got about half of the wires soldered. I ran into a little problem. when i cut it i was pretty sure that all of the wires were different colors. Now, i have 5 red/blue wires lol. im prob gonna have to trace each one which definitely sucks.
didnt have time to paint the roof or mirrors yet, but its looking a little better.
intercooler hangs a bit low, looks retarded imo. i tried re-mounting it but its all the way up
