custom intake manifold
 

has anyone heard of or seen a custom intake manifold where the ic pipes come out of the ic and go on the intake side of the motor? kinda like supra girls intake job but the mani isnt a T type. its like the 2jz intake. just wondering cause i really dislike how the ic piping goes across the engine and i just wanna drool over the possibilities...

check that website out, the guy explains how he did it and the problems with the TPS

2jz on a 7m
 

i read that and wasn't sure i have some add problems lol. mayb he said but does the manifold bolt right on? then just the smaller problems to deal with?

it said he welded it on the lower intake or something. i like the idea im gonna add this to my long wish list

i'd say that this is a big interest to me, and i am prolly going to look into it and if i ever get the time or money i'll let you guys know how it went.

i bought one
 

i have a custom frontside intake now i ll take some pic stommorrow of it, all u do is remove your stock intake and make a block off plate for your original throtlle body mount, then cut a hole in the frontside of your intake up near your alternator put in at least a 2.75 in tube so u can put a sillicone tube u then have to make a tube with a plate that u can mount your throttlebody to u will have to drop your alt and make a new brkt and get a new belt u will also have to extend your throttle cable to accomodate the new position of throttlebodydid that help u at all,i have to still finish putting it in i have all the parts just havn t finished finishing everything to a mirror finish

that sounds pretty cool can't wait to see the pics. me and my dad will have to check it out and see what we can do.

i m still ginding and polishing
 

i ll take apic of the accual intake and show u i m still grinding ,the guy that i bought it froms welds he looks like he was a neewbi ,but when i m done it will be sweet he had it on his car and gave me some of the info i needed like the throttle cable and a few other things but it s prettty obvious that the alt has to drop and u definatly have to relocate the battery so u can reroute your ic pipes there is a definate benifate of this cause u eliminate about 6 to 8 feet of ic pipe and there is way less clutter of the engine bay so good luck on the new ideas

theres gotta be an easier way than all this mumbo jumbo though wounldnt you think?
