the best one in my judgement. I stand by it

There is no need to stand by what everyone sees for themselves because what is self evident stands on its own merit.

Quote:

and the customer feedback has been excellent in terms of noticeable power gains...

Of course. You posted a good chart of a good product.

Quote:

If you don't believe that we got 7hp on one pull, that is significant, tooter; most people that know or buy from me by now trust me to tell the truth. Do you?

I honestly haven't had enough personal interactions with you to know one way or the other. So it's understandable why you're offended at even being questioned. I am hoping that you won't go down that well trodden road of "How dare you accuse me of not being honest." just because of an open question.

My point is that no one ever needs to trust anything I say. Because I believe that no one is entitled to the trust of others, I never expect anyone to trust me. So instead of becoming offended I welcome the opportunity to earn the trust of others.

Golden Eagle is a fabricator. They didn't design, nor do they "market" the product.

Origin Design is my fabricator and I'm the designer, so my name is on my product.

Quote:

They had nothing to do with our design or testing, nor do they have a copy of the dyno results. We do that. I am the co-designer, and my company markets the product.

Their name is on the product.

If the folks here believe that I'm being unreasonable, this will offer you the opportunity to look good in comparison because I don't mind appearing to be the "bad guy".

Thank you for confirming that I have not yet earned your trust, tooter. I hope to change that. You've earned mine.

Golden Eagle gave us the choice of what name to put on the product. It was my decision to put their name on it, as their name is more recognizable. It doesn't mean they designed or tested the product -- which they didn't.

Seems to me it's time to get back to YOUR project in this thread so we can follow along.

here Garm now play nice.

cali yaris · 05-10-2013, 02:37 PM

^ Sweet. tooter, you can even have this one...

tooter · 05-10-2013, 08:38 PM

Thanks, Garm... I use this.

cali yaris · 05-11-2013, 01:28 AM

And then this...?

tooter · 05-11-2013, 12:47 PM

More like this...

I've always loved trains so I built my own little backyard riding railroad. It took a year and a half to lay 200 feet of rail. I designed and built this pull cart.

It's a blast to ride because the grades are as steep as 7% making it as much of a rollercoaster as a train.
The neighborhood kids love it too.

TOLMACH · 05-11-2013, 01:21 PM

^ WOW!

tooter · 05-11-2013, 01:33 PM

This will give you an idea of the grades. Had to do a lot of testing while laying the rails to make sure they were safe to ride.

cali yaris · 05-11-2013, 04:14 PM

yeah, that's pretty cool. You've made a lot of progress since the earlier videos.

What controls the speed besides the track itself? Brakes?

tooter · 05-11-2013, 04:48 PM

Gotta have brakes on this railroad or you die!

Both geared axles are chained together so when the brake pads press against the front wheels, and rears also slow down.

jetblast · 05-12-2013, 06:16 PM

How about Fred Flintstone Feet!!!! Yabba Dabba Dooo! C'mon ride the train, choo, choo, rowdy.....boomsha, boomsha the song is now stuck in my brain.

And now I'm tryin' to remember who sang it! ADD can really be a pain. Squirrel!!!!!

I tried a few wild rides on the flat car using "foot brakes". Too much velocity and I just get thrown off when the flat car hits the curves at the bottom of the hill.

How much does the mani weigh ?

tooter · 05-13-2013, 10:11 PM

It weighs 7 3/4 pounds...

I'm pretty sure I had done a comparison with the weight of the stock manifold. It's likely buried somewhere in this thread but I couldn't find it.

The power gains from the back to back comparative dyno run charts are:

tooter manifold + stock 1NZ throttle body: +3.4hp +1.3tq
tooter manifold + 1ZZ throttle body: +6.6hp +2.8tq

All the figures are rounded down to the nearest tenth so as not to falsely enhance them.

Ryze268 · 05-13-2013, 10:21 PM

Depending on how the 'ole pay check looks, I might be placing an order at the end of this month

You should start a fresh thread =P
