tooter's manifold adventure...

[tooter]

No problem, there's no time limit. I'll always be keeping a small inventory of all the parts whatever you decide.

Has anyone tested this manifold "Tooter" on a boosted motor ?

Thanks.

Sorry I don't want to read back through the entire thread:

-What about finishing / can you offer powdercoating or polishing?
-remind me again, will I have problems installing this in a 2010 5spd hatchback with an AEM CAI? (including a 1zz TB that I have already)
-you've been showing one with a new design (the alien looking end thing) - its pictured below and you mentioned it in post #1191................................... when will this version be coming out? (you called it the ET)




Cheers

I totally understand... it's kinda huge.

No, however the manifold comes stainless steel bead blasted and ready to accept any finish you'd like to apply.

The tooter manifold relocates the throttle body about 2 inches to the right from the stock location. So if your intake has enough room to move about 2 inches, you'll be fine. This is how the throttle body looks with the stock air box.



Here you can see the difference in the throttle body's orientation from stock by its relation to the stock air box. 2 inches were trimmed off of the stock rubber intake tube to make it fit the stock air box. Your CAI's mounting point locations would be different as well as the location of the filter in your fender well so it would definitely need to be modified. Shortening it a couple of inches and adding a silicone coupling would likely work.

Right now the tooter et is just a crazy experiment.
I'm going to build it, dyno it, and drive around with it on my Yaris just to see how it works.

No. The only boosted ones I've ever seen were guys in Puerto Rico who had the original idea.



There's one pic of another one, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I think it would shine in a forced induction setup because it can handle pressure and has a higher flow capacity. That would shift the power limiting factor to how much flow the head could handle.

Found an example of the next idea I'd like to try...



...a manifold with no plenum.

Will you use individual velocity stacks for each runner?

If you need someone to test it in a forced induction setup send one my way for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the offer, kou... but I only have one left and its already up for sale.

By the way, I found pics of the only others I know of.

normally aspirated...



...and forced induction.



I bet that turbo setup is a real screamer.

I'm just rounding and smoothing the openings that are already on the manifold like the one on the upper right.



The exit of the main intake tube that feeds the four runners is a bellmouth profile rounded to 180 degrees. I'll be cutting a hole in the hemisphere when I determine the right angle for the throttle body to set. The round base of the plenum has an advantage in that it can be rotated to generate just the right attitude for the throttle body to set. Then when that has been determined, the position can be indexed and the sphere can be welded into place.

Cool Stuff!

How are you going to put the square peg in the round hole?

Thanks for your replies

Just so I understand (I'm slow)

You have a tooter instock that is made to accept the 1zz and its $450 shipped?

Thanks

Yes I do, Will.

This is the picture of the actual 1ZZ ready tooter manifold that's in stock for sale.





It's $495 on ebay only because of the added fees. From me directly, it's $450 including shipping.

Only the round half goes into the round hole and is inside the plenum...



The square half sits on top of the hole on the outside of the plenum like the head of a rivet so as to hold the 1ZZ throttle body. The corners overhang on purpose so that it doesn't just fall through all the way. This will make welding really easy as it will rest exactly where it's supposed to be.

Actually I was wondering about the "boob" to factory square intake flange.

I'm getting a round piece of aluminum plate and cutting a rounded square hole in it. The diameter of the plate will be slightly larger than the hemisphere so that it can sit on top of it, while the square hole will be slightly smaller than the factory runner retention flange to allow the plate to set on top of it.



After the welding, everything gets stainless steel bead blasted for a clean consistent uniform finish.
