Hey guys, just an EOI (depends on pricing to be honest) for an intake manifold to suit Gen 3 3SGE. Mine doesn't look very nice, has really hard to remove splotching and I scratched the name plate while trying to steel wool clean it.

I'm looking for one in very good condition - and also the ACIS top cover if that's also in great nick

If you happen to pick up a nicer intake manifold for your car and want to offload your existing one let me know (Price depending) as I am also looking for a gen3 3SGE intake manifold but I'm not too concerned on how it looks.

If you want it pretty then sand / clean, paint, add a badge or decal if you want Toyota or trd etc. That's if you look at your engine that much. Sad as I am I did my engine -lol

Yup Dremel is your friend :) Not sure how you would add the writing back tho, someone must have expertise in that stuff

Unfortunately I think it's not worth adding the decal back - it's going to cost a fortune I'm assuming.
At the moment I'm just considering sanding the whole thing down or something to give it a good finish and just completely scratching off the whole decal so it doesn't look "worn", just "clean"

i have a chromed ACIS cover. never fitted, was a display item only. $25+ post
 
i can wet bead blast the intake and make it look like new

Would you be able to PM me photos of the ACIS cover?
And maybe a photo of something you've bead blasted in the past so I can see what it'd look like

Thanks mate

i'll look thru my picture archives
