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.

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.





Here is an example of a FFIM using the stock lower intake manifold on someones car.
