Think you could make me a one-off of the Kooks True Dual kit for F-Bodys?

The system costs like 1200+ From kooks, like 2k if u want there headers.

 

Think you could do this for a reasonable price?

Picked up a new regulator today to start back back purging my steel and stainless welds. This was my first attempt on some steel roll cage tube with stainless filler. Notice how, while I didn't achieve full penetration, the inside of the pipe is free of sugaring and oxidation:

Overall pretty satisfied for my first time doing this.

Got started on this project today, fitting a 2JZ-GTE intake manifold plenum onto 2JZ-GE runners. Got all the preliminary work done today before I realized I was out of the tungsten I needed.

 

Mirror finish weld and flangesurfaces:

Port-matched and polished plenum:

And they said it couldn't be done.

The GTE plenum is forward-facing, which allows for better charge pipe routing and free reign of the entire topside of the motor.

 

I know the GTE Plenum is forward facing and the GE plenum isnt, but why are you using GE runners on the GTE plenum instead of GTE runners. Are they longer/shorter/bigger or something?

The runner spacing is different between the gte and ge heads so the gte runners will not mate to the ge head. This would be the most affordable route to getting a front facing manifold on a ge head.

This. Still have those pipes I did for you sitting at the shop.
