TT intake on an NA Supra anyone????

[xm 1]

as the title states has anyone done this? i mean installed an TT intake on an NA Supra? (not for forced induction.....just to run the NA system this way)
there may not be any advantages from this setup besides a unique look and the fact that you could change easier the spark plugs
so is it possible to do this??? i have a 350Z airbox laying around at home and was wondering what to do with this thing

if it's possible here's a plan on what to do:
- change the position of the battery from driver side to passenger
- use an 350Z airbox (because i want the stock look )
- install TT cam covers
- and of course get this thing running

as for the fabrication it shouldn't be too hard to do
as for the running setup.....do you guys think this setup could require a stand alone???

Is the search function broken? This exact topic has been covered probably hundreds of times already.

The placement of the intake ports on the TT head is slightly different than the na, meaning the TT intake manifold will not bolt directly onto the head. A few people have tried to cut and splice TT and na lower runners so that the TT upper intake manifold bolts on, but all the examples I've seen leave the intake sitting very high and towards the right and the port matching is still a nightmare. All in all it can be done if you have decent fabrication skills, but I think an aftermarket intake manifold looks cleaner.

Also, I don't think a standalone would be necessary as long as all the stock sensors, maf, and iacv remained in place on the new manifold.

i know that this was covered a hundred times andi knew that this would pop up i don't mean running this setup on an NA-T.......i mean on an NA car wihtout a turbo.
of course i know that the TT head is slightly different from the NA head...i should have written that i'm looking into one of those NA aftermarket turbo intakes not the oem one!!!

lol so funny....what's the problem??? don't reply if you have nothing usefull to say

hi!

there's no use in swapping the NA intake and still stay NA.
The NA intake was designed this way for a certain purpose - produce power on the NA version of the 2JZ engine....
With the TT style intake you would loose some torque most probably when staying NA - That's what I read on the british forums.

jfc, what the fuck is going on with this forum?

[Mr Ree NZ]

Besides the fact that this forum has atleast 1,000,000 threads about this topic...

Fitting an FFIM to an NA will make your car ALOT slower so unless its just a show car, then its a waste of time and money.

[Ali_SC3]

yeah you will loose a bunch of torque, and if you are seen with a FFIM on your n/a people will instantaneously poke fun at you.

i am having a long runner ffim custom made for my supra at this moment. not sure how it will perform, but was curious so i said what the hell lets find out.

[Ali_SC3]

It will end up being slower, the stock intake manifold is the best you can run on an n/a.
If you want more n/a power, you can change the stock throttle body for one from an ls400. if you are vvti use the ls430 one.
doing this and deleting the egr pipe will eliminate the restrictions that are in the intake system, which is already very efficient.

Also put an interfooler
thats an intercooler on a n/a lmao

How about an intercooler with a filter on the end, would that be a filtercooler?

[fredriksolem]

You can go without the intake! it will be superfast this way!

[Ali_SC3]

maybe a filterfooler?

Op can kill himself. Then the car will run 9's.

xm 1,

I posted a few pics of my 2JZ build, which is nearly complete. As you can see, it has the dreaded FFIM on it which will accept an 80mm TB. The car is nearly complete afterwhich time I will log some dyno time for tuning. Given that I was able to squeeze 193 RWHP out of my old 5MGE, I am expecting around 250 RWHP on this motor...

Gfallon, I am looking forward to seeing that Intake...

Regards,

Carlos

[herb]

@ Carlos: this is a really great built! do you have a certain thread about that here on the forum?

regards, Herbert

[gfallon]

Carlos Brown, that engine looks sweet! my intake is not as extreme as yours, i will be using the tt throttle body. here is a pick of mine, but i have not received it yet. last time i was on a dyno i did 220whp @7,500rpm this was on a mustang dyno

also how did you finish your valve covers, and what color? mine look like shit

[FLZ_Boy]

Love your build Carlos.

[Carlos Brown]

Gentlemen,

I do not currently have a build thread on the forum since NA motors are not very popular around here. My valve covers are powder coated with a "Super Chrome" color. At some point I will add a few more details about the build, most likely when I have completed it.

As you can see it has no distributor. I am running an SDS stand-alone computer with GM coil packs. I set my Unorthodox cam gears aside and am using the JUN gears that I purchased from Gfallon. Quite a bit going on here!

As I stated, I am looking for 250 RWHP+ after this build is completed...

Regards,

Carlos

looks a hundred times cleaner with TT covers and a FFIM
The FSM black szr supra had a FFIM but it was a plenum for ITBs

[Carlos Brown]

KLLM,

The FSM black szr supra had a FFIM but it was a plenum for ITBs

True! This was one of my considerations for this Intake. It has equal length runners, such as ITB's, just without the throttle plates.... So, if ITB's can be utilized with a similar plenum, why not something of this sort? I will certainly provide dyno sheets once I start tuning... It would be nice if we had OEM trim dyno sheets to compare to. Then we would have first hand proof of the differences between the OEM NA and FFIM differences...

Is the bottom end built? Also, What hg and cams are you running?

[gfallon]

i have one dyno sheet but it is before i built my head. unfortunately i do not have a print out from when i had the aem tuned.
i do have a gtech performance meter, i dont think it is going to give an accurate measure of hp but it will be good for compering before and after. which i will do
