Anyone rotate the inlet manifold on a 1UZ-FE?

Hi all,

Has anyone rotated the inlet manifold on a 1UZ-FE?
Just curious to see if it can be done, and if it can how hard would it be to do?

I would prefer to have the inlet on the same side as the snorkel and air filter.

thanks

bit more than just wires, but it is almost that easy

Hi Bubs,
Can you tell me what throttle cable you used please - was it an off-the-shelf part or custom made?

Going ahead with the swap next week.

thanks
