Default GS400 Supercharger manifold

I was wondering if anyone has a cad design for 1uzfe vvti custom supercharger manifold. I rebuilt a GS400 for a toy project and I'm addicted. The car was older, and needed alot of work. Now its rebuilt and I've been humiliating people with it. Like most I'm never satisfied, so I'm doing a FI project. I haven't seen a completed thread with a m90 build on GS400, so when I'm done I'd like to do a write up. If anyone has any designs let me know, if not I'll order a lower intake and get to the fab shop.

I have yet to see an M90 manifold for the 1uz in the states. I know the Aussie's have some solutions down under.

You may want to start on that prototype.

thanks guys. These were for nonvvti. I was hoping to see if anyone successfully created a manifold for 1uzfe vvti or 3uzfe because I believe their the same. I hope it all goes well and I could post my complete build.

I would not go to the expense of doing an M90 when the new TVS units are SO MUCH better. Sure, you can get a cheap 90 but the rest of the build is expensive and by the end of the project you will be way ahead with a TVS.

There are a couple of intake manifolds available for the 1990-1997 1uzfe engines but Lexus/Toyota changed the intake flange angle from roughly 45 degrees to roughly flat in 1998+ so the intake manifolds for the earlier engines are not a direct bolt on. Some discussion has been going on about creating adaptor flanges to correct for the angle/bolt pattern/port shape but nothing has been posted that I am aware of.

Bullet and Richmond

Richmond at one point posted that they HAD a VVTi manifold but I haven't seen anymore about that.

I have one for the 3uz One other member on here has the other one. No one makes these anymore so you would need to have one made. I look forward to your build
