Default TT upper mani Retrofit!?! almost done...

could not figure out my boost leak for months now and last night / today i ripped out the old intake manifold one my buddys made for me and i found it had a half mm crack that was like 11 inches long on the weld under the bottom side of the plenum! hurrah! i found it! maybe i can go past 7 psi now? haha


anyyywho... ive retrofitted a upper jdm tt mani to my lower GE runner i had some of the lower flange shaved down, then i port matched it and welded them together did most of the work so all i had to pay for was the mani itself 175$ with all the sensors, tb, and do dads



just gotta plug a few vaccum ports and redo the IC piping on the tb side its way off compared to my old mani

THATS what a 2JZ-GE motor should have looked like!
I would even forgive the distributor fail if it came like this.

Dizzy delete next... I Have all the parts ready to go for months now but that old boost leak that I had going on didn't motivate me to do it... But this changes everything!
