tooter's manifold adventure... - Page 17 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've been test fitting the prototype flange to the engine...

There are a couple of areas that need to be filed to fit because we went 3mm larger on the perimeter to accomodate the larger runners. There's one more spot to file near the middle of the fuel rail, so I should have it on today, and when the fitting is done I'll be sure to post some more pics. Wait till you see it with the runners on... it's gnarly.

I just set on the runners to check the clearances... (goody

)

Looks really neato.

anomoly40 · 07-21-2012, 12:10 PM

You plan on wrapping them?

tooter · 07-21-2012, 01:08 PM

Nope.

There are a lot of really nice options for finishing the manifold, and I'll be choosing one of them. In my opinion, wrapping looks crappy, so obviously I'm more concerned with looks than performance.

looks good

that beats the crap out of the original plastic manifold (not a fan).

did you get the throttle body plate done yet?

Yeah, it gets lots of bling points even if it doesn't work. I'm doing this as much for that really cool Formula 1 look as much as for any of the other reasons.

Yes, it's done. I pick it up on Monday, and will post pics when I get it home.

I took the prototype flange and drilled and filed and Dremeled all of the peripheral clearances into it so that the new measurement data can be taken off of the corrected part and fed into the CNC machine for the finished version.

Not to be a party pooper...but haven't you basically voided your warranty on just about anything that would pop a CEL?

I'm a fuk warranty kind of guy...

...and am happy to assume all of the responsibilities of owning a new vehicle. I don't buy used vehicles either... always new ones.

I can respect that.

That's a rockin' setup!

Nice job.

Golddeenoh · 07-21-2012, 07:25 PM

if it pops a CEL then he puts his OEM parts back on, resets the ecu but disconnecting the battery, and goes on. as far as warranty, it is amazing what can be done to car with out voiding it and in general you can get away with a lot of simple mods for intake and exhaust it just depends on if they can prove that any problem that arises is a direct result of the mods applied.

Looks flippin awesome on there!

anomoly40 · 07-21-2012, 09:52 PM

Wait...that wasnt the final piece? Can i revise my numbers? Didnt know you were going to pull the old switcheroo... :)

Sure.

You can change your guess any time right up until I do the dyno run.

It would have been the final piece, but the flange had some fitment issues that needed refining so I resolved them today and the CNC guys will make a corrected part next week.

Was it the bolt hole alignment, or perimeter clearance?

It was perimeter clearances. The top of the flange needs to be milled down 1mm to clear the stock fuel rail supports. It's really close, as I was able to drop in the flange easily just by slightly loosening the fuel rail bolts. There is a cylindrical sensor close on the left side so I filed a semicircle to clear it. Also at the center of the fuel rail there's a part underneath it which also needed a semicircle filed to clear.

They were minor and corrected with a file. The goal is to make the flange simply drop in.

How are you doing on yours? I hope that sharing the details of the process will help to move your manifold along.

Aah, I hadn't measured any of the surrounding areas, just guessed at the perimeter measurements.

Mine is pretty much shelved until I'm ready to do engine management--I'm not interested in fighting the ECU--but that will allow me to do cable throttle and a custom intake/exhaust setup. Then again, if your project works out as a net gain, I may just press on ahead with it.
