I DROVE IT!!!!

(oh yeah...

)

I tied a T shirt over the velocity stack, duct taped it tight, and took the car to town to buy gas while it's still under $4.

I can hardly contain myself I'm so effing excited!

Driveability is superb. You have to remember that I didn't dare go over 3,000 rpm for fear of sucking the Tshirt into the engine!

So being really conservative all I will say for right now is that the engine did not lose ANY bottom end.

edit: Oh, almost forgot...

NO CEL LIGHT!!!!

(oooh, goody...

)

You think you're excited!!!

I can't fully describe how personally satisfying this whole process has been to take a concept and address all of the details to produce a finished working manifold in just 2 months. I feel like a pioneer because up until now no one has been able to come up with a normally aspirated working alternative to the stock plastic Yaris manifold.

Just from driving it to town and back... I can't wait to put the tooter manifold on the dyno!

The dyno runs will answer the question soon as to whether or not this project has any production value. If the tooter manifold shows any tangible real world dyno run improvements... and that's still a really big if... It will be possible for anyone to make their own tooter manifold.

There'll definitely be a production run of tooters...

... IF the dyno shows any real honest no BS gains.

Gratz!

Bluevitz-rs · 08-10-2012, 11:39 PM

Tooter, you should do a back to back run swapping manifolds if you can, when you get to the dyno.

But congratulations on getting it going!!!

malibuguy · 08-10-2012, 11:45 PM

Fuck yes!!!!1111oneoneone....

BEEF · 08-11-2012, 12:19 AM

if you do make a production run, you should leave the "tooter" on it.

I can't believe you ran with a T-shirt. I will admit, I wouldn't have been able to resist myself. you have been very patient with this project and it looks awesome. regardless of what the dyno does, I think it was an awesome project. if the dyno results are positive, it will be just icing on the cake.

so have you scheduled a dyno session yet? ;)

cali yaris · 08-11-2012, 12:34 AM

very cool, congrats on producing a working aftermarket part!

Definitely...

They will all be genuine tooters.

And if people don't like the name, it's no problem because when the manifold is installed, you can't see the name!

I was so effing desperate to actually run the car.

No, not yet.
I've been totally swamped with work, but I'll try to find some free time to run it. The air filter issue still needs to be resolved before I can do the dyno runs.

Thanks.

I won't be swapping manifolds on a hot engine. Plus, I already have the baseline dyno runs done and don't want to pay double. The upcoming tooter manifold runs will be done on the same dyno machine.

Agreed! Too many people (myself included) start on some monumental project and get stuck somewhere before the finished product. Seeing this come to fruition really is great!

You really helped to inspire me, Cranky.

When I saw your drawings, they brought to light the physical issues involved in having a flange machined.

What also helped was this...

Having an actual physical template to measure off of made the project easier.

Unintended, but glad to be of service!
