But I was thinking of doing something with the 2AZFE intake manifold because the throttle body would come out the passenger side...problem is - the manifold is plastic.

Is this the layout of your engine? And if it is, is your intake at the front of the engine or behind it?

Not sure how I could 'weld' the 1NZ flange onto the 2AZFE plastic tubing :(

I'm not sure, but I think that the plastic might have been ultrasonically welded. And that "snail" style manifold might still have clearance issues, but that could be easily determined simply by taking some measurements.

I may just have to make/design my own. Luckily you already have the flange I need to weld onto!

No rpoblem.
I'll always be stocking them. Since the design is finalized they can be manufactured as needed.

My intake manifold is up front like the 1NZ-FE but the manifold is mounted/designed with the throttle body sitting directly on top in the middle of the manifold.



Picture of my front strut bar install... shows the layout better.





I really think I have the clearance to make the 2AZFE intake manifold work or something similar because I don't have much in the way if the intake was routed to the passenger side of the engine as the 2AZFE would if mounted on my 1NZ.



If the 2AZFE manifold doesn't work, My idea is to create the log style intake with fairly long intake runners. Basically the 1NZ-FE reversed. Such as examples below:
