GROUP BUY - Megan Racing 4-1 Header... - Page 26 - Toyota Yaris Forums

ChinoCharles · 12-11-2006, 03:09 AM

Yes and yes.

Anyone ever extrude hone a header? I'm thinking these would benefit greatly, but I don't have much experience in this department, and even the thought sounds extremely expensive. I just see a few rough edges in there...

We used them a couple of times back in the day. Mostly used on cast parts to smooth out the flaws and such. Would not be worth the setup cost and materials to send the Megan header in.

I just called Don at RCF and he was out of the office, but I left a message so hopefully he will get back to me tomorrow and let me know when I can get her on the dyno. I'll update then.

We have the header here ready for testing if anyone is in VA... I can get it installed today/tomorrow and dynoed... call us and let me know... WE ARE NOT SELLING ANY HEADERS... Just one for testing

ChinoCharles · 12-11-2006, 04:52 PM

I don't know what the hell is going on over at PMT, but Megan gave me a $65 discount on the header as an allotment to dyno the car since I live in northeast Ohio and there is a dyno for every McDonalds up here. If you're going to dyno the car then I'm not going to waste my time, but I need to know what the hell is going on. Riceboy?

For the time being, I am under the assumption that I am still to fulfill my responsibility to Megan Racing.

Charles... Just dyno the car man... We may not have a test car for weeks by to looks of it? Why not dyno it?

ChinoCharles · 12-11-2006, 05:20 PM

You're only 6 hours from me... 5 the way I drive. And I've got a whole lot of time off work coming up. If RCF is swamped (they're all leaving for Flordia on Wednesday) I could take a trip down to PMT and check it out and we can get this R&D done. Then the 65 bucks would pay for some gas and food.

Would you guys be down?

*Chris07LB* · 12-11-2006, 06:14 PM

Shoot, im not that far away, maybe Ill come hang with you Charles.

I disagree, i think we should have the 2 dyno runs, and compare them, as i feel we will get two different results, because the owner of the car (chino in this case )is going to brag a bit ( nobody wants to admit they got shit gains) , and add a few ponies, were the owner of the speedshop will tell it like it is...

my opinion only!

Add me to the list, I got mine today, paid $24.00 brokerage fees to UPS, probably won't install till spring, no need for extra HP in the winter up here in Canada!!!

ChinoCharles · 12-11-2006, 06:58 PM

Haha! Trust me dude, I'm more committed to adding HONEST information to our knowledge base than I am to bragging about how "trick" my Yaris is. No matter where I do it, you guys are going to get the straight answer. The sheet doesn't lie!

To be quite honest, my expectations are SUPER conservative. I'm predicting 4 WHP, and I wouldn't be totally shocked to see no noticable gain at all with the header alone.

But God, I hope I'm way wrong.

Chris, sounds like fun! Lets see what RCF says first.

eco · 12-11-2006, 08:22 PM

Ha,me and you both.

It's official! The GB is done and completed, thanks to all the participants for making this a success!!

Chino - As far as I know Megan is still expecting results from your end as per the added discount they've provided you. They've done their own dyno testing but it's my guess that they're trying to get numbers from other sources with stock to modified cars. Please just take it in, honor your commitment and leave it at that.

The gains are going to be varied, but I think we can all agree that there'll be something. I'm not expecting too much even with my intake and exhaust, but if it opens up the car.. I'll be very happy!

In any case, hope everybody enjoys their headers!!! I've got the day off and will try to get them installed tomorrow.

ChinoCharles · 12-12-2006, 05:28 AM

Understood, thanks homie! Can't wait to try 'em on!
