Default Intake manifold??

I've been searching to find out if a 2jzgte intake manifold will fit a na 2jzge head but I have found no answers. Can anyone tell me if it fits or not. I just don't like the na style intake manifold and really would perfer the 2jzgte one instead. Any help will be great!! Thanks..

You might be able to find out more on a supra site but look at the NA/T sticky thread to fond out if it works. I dont know why it wouldnt fit, but then again i would just get the 2jzgte

I looked on the na-t sticky but found no answers. Also, I don't want turbo gs300 cause I want reliablity from being n/a. I've had my going fast day and the only reason why I want that manifold is cause it's easier to work around with..

Toyota is Reliable no matter if you have Turbos or not. IT is how you drive the car that makes it deteriorate faster. Good luck on your Manifold search. i hope it leads you to wanting more power with reliability. PS. watch the top gear episode of the BMW M5(or M3) vs. the Prius. thats reality for you

Unfortunatly, the GTE intake manifold will not directly bolt up to the na motor. Your best option is to go aftermarket, but they are very expensive. I have seen some people modify them to fit, but its hard and not many people have done it.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

You can find them on eBay, this forum (you have to look under all the cars that use the 2JZGE), and plenty of other forums. They are pretty pricey. Just to let you know.

That is an FSM front facing manifold, made by First State Motorsports. From what I remember they run about 1K and getting the throttle body as well is an additional 500ish.

There's a guy on ClubNa-T and Supraforums named theclassic32 that is selling one for waaay below retail value. You should check it out if you're interested

Just FYI, the TT manifold can be made to fit if you know someone who will weld aluminum. There are people out there running them simply because they're cheap and it makes the bay cleaner, and is a better FMIC set up. I bought a JDM TT manifold and had the runners cut and welded, with a new flange for the NA lowers. Works fine via test fit, but I haven't finished my spare motor build or had it powder coated...

Just another option.

Its actually a complete bolt-on kit. There's A LOT more to it then just a plenum and throttle body

The FSM manifold is a beautiful piece, and a lot of R&D went into it. Thus why it, the boostwerx manifold, VW, etc manifolds are so expensive.

Lots of cheap e-bay style alternatives, and modifying your own is an option, but they don't flow nearly as well as the high-end ones.
