that's beautiful. excel can be your friend. that will show you the advantages and disadvantages to your intake manifold.
you have quite the project going here. now I am chompin at the bit for more. |

Dyno's vary and can really only be relied on comparisons to personal runs....or if a stock yaris runs on the same day. That said, 100whp with the wimpy stock 1.75" midpipe makes sense...

I understand... and that's why I'm not concerned with the absolute output of any one dyno run as far as the exhaust is concerned. Right now I'm focused on the intake manifold and in the relative difference between two dyno runs with the manifold as the only difference.
Maybe later on I'll post another thread on "tooter's exhaust adventure". But not now. Just one project at a time. |

I don't even have excel. That's just a copy of what Harry emailed to me. He was very competent, diligent, and thorough.

Finalized the flange today. And they'll be starting on the throttle body adaptor next week. I'll be getting some scans of the 3D rendering this evening and will post an image. This is the CNC machine...
And this is the material for the prototype... |

I may want to throw those number in excel myself (if you don't mind) that way you will see the positive and negative areas of your intake manifold once you get the second dyno. if he doesn't provide those differences I would be glad to throw it together. it would only take a few minutes.
after getting under my car, I can see where the 1.75" exhaust is really restrictive. you may want to do an exhaust thread (after you finish with this one). how much are they charging you to run on the dyno? I want to run my car when it is all said and done with my mods. I was quoted $75 but not sure how many runs that is for. just trying to get something for comparison. I wish I had a toy like that in my garage (the CNC machine)....I wish I had a garage. lol |

I just can't change anything until after the second dyno runs with the prototype manifold installed. Quote:

Here's the 3D pics of the manifold adaptor flange...
They were done with Pro/Engineer 3D solid CAD modelling software. If I can get time off work, I'll take a video of the machine making the part. |

Noooooooo!! I learned Pro/E my freshman year at school and didn't like it very much. I've heard that it's great for sheetmetal work, but it's much clunkier and difficult to do solid modeling that competing products. That said, it does accomplish the task. I'm really stoked about seeing this project come together!

In this pic you can see how the two outer ports slightly angle inward to meet the offset intake ports on the head. That's why I specified a 1 inch thick flange, so that the transition between the two would be reasonably smooth. Here's the view fromt he other side where the transition is a little more noticeable. It's before adding the grooves for the stock O ring manifold gasket... |

is it really going to be an inch thick? I assume you are going to use different bolts to mount it.

Sure. They're readily available from the hardware store.

But what does it mean?

just making sure our graphs line up. I can't wait for the second set. I am hoping to do a graph of the difference so you can see the drawbacks and advantages. I am hoping that there won't be much loss in the lower RPM range (2-3k) and a descen amount in the upper (4-5). I don't really care about 5-6k as most people don't hang out there much.

We drive ours around hardly going over 3,000 rpm, so it's probably not going to help us for our uses. But since we already drive the car gently, the loss shouldn't be a problem. We'll just step on the gas a little more. I'm really curious on how much the gas mileage will decrease... although there's a chance that freeway mileage might increase. There's only one thing we know for sure... at least it'll look really cool. |

I really like the look of the manifold you are using. here is an example of what I am talking about. of the 3 runs, here is the deviation between the worst and the best at each point (100 RPM step). I started it at 2500 since that was the first place I had all 3 data points. just to give an idea.
one trace for torque and one for horespower. seems you are within around 3 hp or ft/lbs even during the steep sloped part. actually a pretty tight grouping. |

I see. That kind of graph could be especially useful to visually portray the difference between the before and after manifold runs.
