Has anyone tried this? I did a search but I didn't get a conclusion on it. TIA

 

Why? That is the real question here..

 

^^^Probably so he can run a front facing intake manifold and the 1jz spark plug cover so it looks nicer.

I've seen a guy run the 2jz-gte valve covers and spark plug cover on his N/A. Not sure about the 1jz though.

 

Bingo! Yeah I know that it's possible with the 2jz-gte... I might just have to pull the trigger and try it out and this way everyone else will know too.

 

i dont think the 1jz valve covers will fit due becauseof the indentation for the intake manifold. what onejay said makes sense and use a front facing intake manifold, i want to do that to mine but i dont wanna shell out 600 bucks for a manifold. I'd rather just find a 1jz head.

 

I was thinking of doing that too.. But the more I looked into it, the more I found out that the cost of going single on a 1jz head with stock intake manifold the cost were about the same as keeping my 2jz-ge, w/ bigger intake manifold and turbo. Also rumor has it that the GE head flows better then the either gte. Plus it doesn't hurt that I have a second ge head.

 

So to clear things up, because I was wondering this too, can you put a 2jz-gte intake manifold directly onto a ge head, that way changing the spark plugs is easier haha, and the engine bay just looks cleaner.

 

nope you would have to mod it.

 

You could just weld the lower GE runners to the upper GTE runners/manifold and call it a day. :shrug:

 

here is a NA-T pic thread on SF most of these guys have the GTE valve covers not too sure about the 1JZ though
