I have shared this over at the british car forum, but since it is more fitting here, I thought I would show a few pictures.
Basically a TR6 with Supra twin turbo drive train.

Awesome!!!
I can't wait to read the "How It Was Done" write-up. Please take lots and lots of detail and construction photos.
Ryan, You bet this needs to be posted HERE.
Very NICE!
How are you planning for the steering shafts? Looks like the driver side (both sides really) are stuffed with plumbing for the twin turbos.
What is the canister placed under the drivers seat? Looks like a compressed air canister, but I don't see any air shocks?
The differential and mounts look very solid. Do you have dimensions or specs on the brackets as I can see possible future needs of others looking to swap out the TR6 differential and this would be another option? Are you going with the stock half shafts or custom narrowed CV's?
Keep up the great work and..................Please post more! More info, more pictures!

I ended up running a double u-joint on the steering shaft with a brace/bearing for the intermediate shaft

It is where I decided to hide the accusump

I did not make templates for the rear end adapter. It is a limited slip Toyota Supra Turbo differential. I partially cannibalized the rear sub frame off of a supra for the aft section. Had I not had the differential from the engine set I would have gone the nissan/good parts route, to save time. Didn't think there would be any real demand for that type of conversion. If people are interested I could probably come up with something when I pull the differential for paint. But it was rather labor intensive.
The CV joints/hubs are custom units from Kevin at CV joints of Ocala. He told be they would handle 300+HP and a 4.1 rear end no problem. As for the rest of the car we will see.
Gonna be awesome!
I would like to find out how wide a twin turbo engine is at the front,middle and rear and how long from the front pulley to the trans to the rear of the trans.
thank you.

I hadn't check this website in a while, sorry for the delay in getting the information. The engine is about 24 inches wide front, middle and rear. It is 29 inches long from pulley to the transmission and pulley to tailshaft exit is 58.5 inches. Fwiw, it is a pretty big engine, not super tall, no notching of the cross member required but it is by no means an easy fit. If I were to do it again and not live at 6000ft I would probably go with Milemarkers BMW conversion instead, it is a much easier swap.
Let me know if you need more.
