project y · 04-24-2007, 01:21 PM

im running one on my car. makes a huge diffrence more power still get about the same mpg.

PetersRedYaris · 04-24-2007, 01:25 PM

Where did you get it? Can you post a picture? I tried a helix power tower on my 2.7L Tacoma and didn't feel any difference. Although, different engines have different results I'm sure.

project y · 04-24-2007, 01:28 PM

made it my self out of billet alum il post som pics tomarrow its raining and i dont want to take it out in the rain

PetersRedYaris · 04-24-2007, 01:34 PM

Will you be selling these and how much?

project y · 04-24-2007, 01:35 PM

yes i will sell pm me with offer

PetersRedYaris · 04-24-2007, 05:28 PM

Definitely need pics to make an offer. You should post pictures of both the spacer mounted on the car and just the spacer alone. How thick are they? Do you include longer studs/bolts for mounting the spacer? How about gaskets?

project y · 04-24-2007, 05:38 PM

its 1/4 inch thick u dont need longer studs or bolts it comes with gaskets

OxyG3nE · 04-24-2007, 06:17 PM

i dont understasnd how only a spacer can add power..

Vervepipes · 04-24-2007, 07:17 PM

I'd want to see a dyno of it... I've seen countless dyno sheets on multiple forums proving thier worthless.

Katana · 04-25-2007, 05:27 PM

Me too.And if it's ok, I will probably buy one!

project y · 04-25-2007, 06:42 PM

your going to have to wait for a dyno
im not spending money on a dyno for one part
im sending one out next week to someone on the forum so there will be a second opinion befor its able to be sold

*Chris07LB* · 04-25-2007, 07:10 PM

From what I have read over on the Scion Life forums, many have tried them with no gains at all. Weird.

PetersRedYaris · 04-25-2007, 10:36 PM

Who bought one? I'm kind of skeptical of these things and I still want to see a picture. I think these worked really well on carburated engines and even throttle body injected engines, but I don't know about newer engines with direct injection. If it is shown to work, however, I'll buy one.

blacksan · 04-25-2007, 11:45 PM

I ran them on SB Chevys with full mods and they did make gains on the dyno. But, these gains where at upper RPM's when super was less then a $1.00 per gallon. I ran a nasty 450 HP (rear wheel) SB that would hurt your phecking eyes with full throttle up-shifts. Those days are long gone.

YogiYaris · 04-25-2007, 11:50 PM

I will have a second opinion for you guys on just the spacer but it may be kinda late for the thread because I want have my Yaris for another two-three weeks because I ordered it. But I can't see it making any gains. People I know with the XA and XB saw no difference and that is the same motor. Also you need to show dyno with and without that part so people can see the gains if they exist. You will not sell enough to be worth your trouble without dyno results of the part alone.

Another "Project Why?"

brushforhire · 04-26-2007, 06:19 AM

it worked on carb engines because it gave the fuel and air more time to mix properly, everyone i have ever heard who used one on a efi enine never had gains from one. Though i have heard of guys who buy them and tap them out to put nitrous nozzles in or a alky injection kit for turbos.
