Will i 7mgte head accept a 1jz or 2jz intake manafold? I see on a couple of cars the the 7mgte intake is moved from across the engine to just on the right side, a ffim i think its called! If neither manafold will fit how are they amking or buying those manaflods?

Short answer: No
Long answer: Yes, with a lot of work. It would be more bennificial for you to make one yourself, or have someone make you one. If your power goals are under 500, the stock manifold will be able to take you there.


Wrong section however.

correct

basically they are taking the 7M lower manifold runners and mating them to the 2J upper runner with some grinding cutting and welding.

psychotic is right though. the 7M stock manifold will be fine to the 500-550hp mark

if you want to throw in a 1jz-gte or a 2jz-gte intake manifold its going to be a lot of work. it does not bolt on directly, custom work 100%.

edit: the cost of custom work will probably cost just as much as buying an after market ffim. yes the ffim increases airflow and psi capacity but just like psychotic said your good under 500hp with the stock manifold.

u mean manifolds:nono: . U guys should have corrected him . All good though. Search front facing intake manifold you will find what you are looking for. Like everybody else said if 500 hp is your numbeer the stocker is good.

Why is everybody saying 500 hp is the limit on the stock manifold? Do you guys know somebody that tried to push it past and couldnt until they put on a FFIM?

This one made 730 or so.....

It has been my experiance reading on here that the generally accepted cutoff for the stock manifold is around 500 or so. IIRC it becomes the weak link in the system when flowing that much air.

Don't get me wrong by saying that it doesn't flow enough air, I'm just saying that it isnt the most efficient choice for that application.

I dont think that your 500 hp bottleneck is going to be the 7m manifold -

I built two of mine for simplicity of intercooler installation and to clean up the bay a bit. It also gave me an excuse to throw a q45 TB on there.
