2jzge swap in s14 need help firing the hood

[alexg103]

Hey guys I have 2jzge swap in my s14 and my hood does not shut I think it's hitting the front of the engine... what is the best way about getting the hood to close and shot properly? .... I'm thinkin gnome I may be able to just use some pacers in the back any recommendations?

You could go the hood vent route. Cutting squares and riveting are pretty easy.

Ok that is a option ant place to find decent looking ones for a decent price. I rather run oem my self but whatever I need to do. Thanks for reply

[1jz s14]

What mounts are you using???? Mine shuts fine without spacers. But I still put some spacers to keep it cool.

[alwyzDTF]

I personally like the oem look as well but unless you get a front facing intake manifold then you dont have a whole lot of options. good luck buddy!

[alexg103]

Excessive I think they are called and solid mounts... polly tranz mount

It might be the stock ge intake mani holding it up I am going to take it off and check that too

[1jz s14]

Oh my bad I read it wrong. Thought it said 2jzgTe lol my bad . But yeah that stock intake manifold should be the problem. On my sc300 its fine but yeah i put my sc and s14 side by side and it looked like whoever runs a 2jzge with stock intake manifold should go with a side one.

[alexg103]

Yeah for sure I am doing the gte upper intake manifold on the ge lower... do you know if the stock ge and gte throttle bodied are same bolt patern.via a super noob it's my first set up

[turtle m3th]

It won't just bolt up. Modification is required. I wonder if someone makes and adapter plate for this? If not, i'll look into it.

[alexg103]

You are talking about the throttle body right. Because I reat the jdm umm per intake mani will fit just need to do a little port matching. The usdm one they say don't fit at all.
