Arrow Throttle body relocation on 2JZ-GE

Are there any solutions for relocating the throttle body on the 2JZ-GE (at least in the SC)? The way it covers up the spark plugs is highly inconvenient. I've seen some GTE guys with nothing covering their plugs/valve covers- is there anything out there that'd work for the GE?

^^What he said.

You need to do an FFIM conversion (front facing intake manifold). And before it comes to mind, no the GTE intake is not a simple bolt on option. XS Power makes a manifold, there are a few on fleabay that I wouldnt trust. But Im pretty sure they all require a GTE power steering setup also.

Do a few searches here on the forums and you will find more info. But yes there are intakes that suit what your looking for.

+2 what they said...XS Power FFIM, w/90mm TB, relocate your TPS. Weld the lower runners to the FFIM, tap the vac lines, etc and call it a day. GL and keep us posted. Here's an example of what it sounds like you're looking for?
