its new 2 me
 

hello guys i have a 89 astrovan that i put a 88 turbo supra motor n and i need 2 no if i can put a newer intake manifold on it? like a 1JZ intake manifold or anything else u guys can think off, cause i hate tha way the intake pipe go's across the valve covers so any help wood b appericated

come on guys i no some1 out there can tell me if i can or not

I've been looking for something, too. The closest I've found is a 1jz-7m hybrid. They cut the 1jz manifold and the 7m itake manifold at a point where the intake runners will match up to the 7m intake runners. Then, weld them together. The key is to find a 1jz intake and a good machine shop willing to do it.

i have some1 2 weld it back 2gether 4 me so got that covered, now im wondering what if anything i wood have 2 change on the 1JZ?

If you have the capacity to weld then it may be easier and cheaper to just make a front facing intake manifold, with a larger throttle body.

If not then modify your current intake manifold to a front facing status, as in cut open the front side of it, then weld the old TB hole up and put a new flange on the front side of the manifold, that way you retain all your stock engine parts but have the front facing intake.

Good luck.

if u have an idea of what i wood need 2 build a new 1 plz share the info or point me n the right direction. also its goin 2 b a cover vehicle so it has 2 look super clean i have a guy thats goin 2 make me a brand new harness and wire the motor up 4 me so all i got left is the intake manifold issue and the clutch pedal issue, since a van is auto and my trans is 5 speed anyways thanks 4 ur help

Well you will need some aluminum tubes and sheets, I have a quick SolidWorks 3D rendering of one, its by no means to scale I just threw it together. The red lines in the first pic are where
the welds would be for the tube and sheets.
