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
