GTE intake mani questions.
hey guys, i have a 99 gs300, i just bought a GTE intake manifold. it has the gte iac, tps, and map sensor, on it. will these stock gte parts be able to be used with my engine. and if any problems or anything please explain.
heres my set up- xspower t-61, aem fi/c. those are the basics.
and i know the intake manifold wont just bolt to the lower runners thats not my question here and that i am having modified to fit. i need to know about the other little things, i have never delt with the vvti GE only the non vvti since ive had 2 na-t supras in the past.

the plugs on the vvti ge plugs straight into the vvti ge in all parts of the throttle body assembly.
it sounds like you got the non-vvti gte throttle body; i suggest selling it and get a vvti gte throttle body unless you're going standalone

i havent seen any vvti gte intake manis for sale, thats my problem. would it be cheap to just get the vvti sensors? i just gotta see what i need and if it will bolt up to the same manifold.
the vvti throttle bodies of both version is drive-by-wire. even if you get the sensors for the vvti, you still have to find a way to control the IAC, and find a way to keep your stock ecu happy.
your only option is to 1. get a standalone 2. get a gte vvti tb 3. retrofit your ge vvti tb to work with your gte manifold

wait, i just went out and looked at the vvti throttle body. its not throttle by wire. it has a normal throttle cable on it. the cruise controle i believe is mounted on the side of it tho and thats throttle by wire but it has a normal throttle cable just like the non vvti's

cruise control is also controled by the ecu via throttle control motor; no separate throttle wire unit.
same goes with vvti gte.
someone retrofitted the vvti ge tb on a gte-style manifold on my.is. it looks like crap. don't do it.
just get a standalone and call it a day.
