Micro Image Intake Manifold thread - Page 9 - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 10-07-2012, 09:31 PM

I received the modified prototype on Friday. I'm working on getting the test car again to do a final fitment and decide which version to make a bunch of.

As far as I'm concerned it was pretty close last version, but we did a little more tweaking to get more stock hoses to fit without needing replacement, and MAYBE to be able to connect the manifold to the stock airbox.

I'll know this week.

I'm concerned about fitment with the Mishimoto radiator...from the pic it looks a little tight, will it clear?

I happen to have a Zage kit waiting for a good reason to be installed, hehe.

Whichever one MI sells, It's for an xb(iirc).

nice looking piece!

cali yaris · 10-08-2012, 08:24 PM

Maz, we think the intake will be fine with your new radiator.

Good to know, thank you. With that IM spacer as well?

cali yaris · 10-09-2012, 01:28 AM

Shouldn't matter, but we'll see how much clearance we have very soon with the newest version.

4/20 NEVER FORGET · 10-23-2012, 03:44 AM

Any news on this? I probably check both here and the MI forum every other day or so, I'm really looking forward to this being available for sale. Where you able to find a test car for the new piece? How did it work out?

justjesus · 10-24-2012, 03:24 PM

I spoke with Garm. Looks like he's going to be using the same test car, but they are working on scheduling....

JohninVT · 11-13-2012, 10:10 AM

When will it be for sale?

frownonfun · 11-14-2012, 05:40 PM

Garm when this thing is all done do you think you'd be able to establish whether this will fit with the PE Supercharger kit that you carry now? Just a little curious.

cali yaris · 11-14-2012, 05:45 PM

Final proto sent off today, and we are in production folks. Hoping for 2-3 weeks, but I can't make promises or provide accurate pricing quite yet. More to come, but it IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON. Whew.

cali yaris · 11-14-2012, 05:46 PM

@ frown: I don't know -- I know it won't work with the blitz kit because that design replaces the intake manifold with its own blower and pipe.

frownonfun · 11-14-2012, 05:57 PM

Right but it's just a blower above the alternator with the intake piping on the Rotrex kit. Still the stock manifold though. Looking at the video you posted I'm thinking it won't fit but I was under the impression the size of this new mani is subject to change. I guess I'd just need to know how much clearance you end up with between the mani and radiator.

Golddeenoh · 11-14-2012, 09:01 PM

did you ever get to test fitment on the AEM style Cold Air Intake?

cali yaris · 11-15-2012, 12:15 AM

We haven't test fitted any aftermarket intakes, but the new prototype works great with the stock airbox. I'm pretty sure aftermarket intakes will work too.

4/20 NEVER FORGET · 11-15-2012, 12:17 AM

AWW HELL YES!!!

Glad to hear we are close. Looking forward to buying it!!
