Hey Cali, is he really going to be making more than just the ten? I would love to buy one but my bank account is recovering from getting married. If you are getting some of these what's your time frame after this initial 10 are produced?

I'll talk to him again -- I'm working on having the production run include some extras for me to carry in my store. stay tuned... (so to speak)

I really hope he gets a small supply of these so I can save up for one.

I probably shot myself in the foot for offering the mid-range manifold, but the comparison does deserve a little insight. Actually, it is possible to significantly increase the torque production at lower engine speeds using the proper intake design. The problem associated with this is that there is almost always a trade off in power at higher engine speeds. The intake is literally tuned to maximize torque production at a given engine speed. It may be possible to give big gains at 3000 rpm but it may also cost power at 5000-6000 rpm(menaing it may make less power than the stock intake). I doubt this is acceptable. I will run a few more tests on the mid-range version and see if there is a happy medium that is better than my previous results. Also I saw posts on difference between Hp & Tq, but in reality to the are mathematically related and any given torque value will have a corresponding HP value at a given engine speed. Tq is simply work or force and HP is that work or force applied over time. In a drag race scenario (or simple acceleration) the intake that will provide the best acceleration time is the one that offers the most average power over the rpm spread required. In the case of the Yaris, this means WOT at 4000 rpm to 6000+ rpm-except in 1st gear.

well if the mid range manifold turns out to not be as great, i would love to get a high range manifold, the problem is i came onto this forum late and was unaware of this buy in and dont have the money immediately to do it. will you be offering this manifold one time only or will you produce more as the demand presses on?

Can someone repost the dyno's for the two intakes? I know there was a post on it pre-hack. Would be nice to have some reference again.

If you'd rather, Richard, I'll pull my list and drop the topic for now. I don't want to turn this into a huge headache for you. If it's getting there, like I said a few times in the mid-range thread I'm okay with the mid-range not happening.

Now that SEMA nonsense is over, I can get the Yaris and start making the production piece. I will keep you guys posted on the progress. I am starting with the high-horsepower version first and only if demand warrants, possibly follow up with mid-range.
