If he said 92 he means gen2 - im fairly sure the gen3 doesn't just bolt up.

If you want an intake manifold look for the JUN replica ones - Best looking intake manifold around easily. (can't comment on functionality but it cant be too bad)
You probably won't need it - you are't going for record attempts or anything. 250kw's is a good healthy number that seems to suit the car and motor well. That said,if you are looking at TB's decide what intake you want first - alot of them use the ford 70mm throttle body which would make all this deciding a waste of time.

can always try and find a caldina manifold, they work wonders if you can find them for the right price.
the wrong price:

Even with the throttle body thats a rip lol plus the devil of postage and its just insane. You can get a good custom one like the ATS one for cheaper than that

A caldina Manifold requires modyfications to fit to the GEN2 3SGTE.
There is sombody on MR2OC

I doubt it, but yes it would look cool!
I'm maintaining a black and bare metal theme throughout my whole car though, including the engine bay.

The Caldina intake manifold doesn't interest me either. I'll definitely get the ATS one if I don't keep the stock one.

I think if you cut off the protrusion close the the mounting face then used a half round file to file away the inside of the funnel, it wouldn't be too hard. Aluminium files and sands pretty easily. Although it would be tricky to get it perfectly round, but I think you could get pretty close. Could also use a stone in a die grinder or drill.

You would also need to check how much material will be left just upstream of the flange, dont want to leave it too thin.

yes, but it think it would take quite a few hours and i would rather spend $55 than spending 4 hours filing it down

would need extensive modification like the caldina one would, do-able but time consuming

anyway, i thought the ATS was along the same vaine as the JUN one except it doesn't cost $3000

the stock inlet manifold will be adquate for his power goal, especially since he wants low down torque i wouldn't go for a manifold with a considerably larger plenum volume as this will effect the low down torque

Throttle body is the same size internally between Rev1 and Rev2 MR2s (55mm) Why not just buy the inlet instead of the whole thing?

well if i get julian's go ahead ill order three tomorrow

edit: i'm getting one for me and julian, do you want polished or not polished?

Polish the freaker.
