7m to 2j mani... Why not?

[kotu100]

I know theres like one of these threads made every month asking if the 2 mani will bolt on the 7m. Then a few comments of "you can cut the runners and weld them together, but its a hackjob."
How come no one has made a decent 7m to 2j intake manifold adaptor? Seems like it would be super cheap to make, and i'm sure whoever made it could sell craploads of them.
2 flanges and some alum piping would be cheap... so why not?

adampecush did it, but it was found to be harder than it sounds and too expensive to produce IIRC.

 

[Turbo Habanero]

I would buy one...

 

[shipkiller]

is there any good option for a 7mgte FFIM with the stock TB/TPS

I looked at it a few years back and it'd require a good 4/5 axis CNC to do an adaptor plate.

 

[shipkiller]

Best bet is to go with a FFIM at the same time as a standalone and replace the tps with a aftermarket one?

Makes life much easier, then you can choose a nice TB as well.

im still currently working on mine right now, ive gotten to the point that im about ready to put the 7m flange on JZ lower runners, but i havent quite gotten to the point of dealing with the TB yet. ill try to post pictures this week of it, when i get more time

Forgot the members name, but he had the lower runner welded to adapt to a 1j manifold. Looked real nice.

Ya i just found it actually, it was SURUKO

Buddy put 1j intake and valve covers on a 7m.

 

[mecevans]

Will the 7M IAC bolt up, or will the jz one work with 7M electronics?

 

[hvyman]

Not too sure but it's the same design pretty much so should be pretty easy to use. Pretty site the 7m one won't work right as far as where the hoses go. 2jz one might actually fit on that setup maybe.

 

[Turbo Habanero]

Do people just weld the 1J intake to the 7M runners.

Someone should make a right up on a way to do it

 

[hvyman]

You just have to drill a couple holes bigger for it to bolt up. But it should be port matched to do properly.

Port matched ?

As in the runners are not the same size?

 

[IBoughtASupra]

I don't believe they line up correctly, so it would be to be ported to match each other.

If there was enough interested, I'd start making the 7M FFIM again that I have pictured in my vendor section that keeps the alternator and compressor and I believe it looks quite nice!

 

[hvyman]

Ya the runners don't match up. So the need to be ported and same with gasket.

It's some work. Not really bolt on and go.

To have a properly functioning part usually it's not going to be cheap.

It's also the reason ffim are expensive. Need to have a tig welder for one. Second need to know how to use it. Materials. Time invested. Tigs aren't cheap and it defiantly takes practice to get good and thought process to build it
Even if you had all that already still need need to make money doing it or what was the point of selling it online to someone you never met in person.

My college is going on strike very very soon, if they keep the shop open I might try to do a bit of R&D about a FFIM with the cncs

do any of you have CADS or drawing of the stock flange/intake runners
