Official Richard Holdener who wants to buy an intake manifold list

[PETERPOOP]

He's already said that he will produce the high end and then after that is the demand for the midrange is great, he will start that too i believe.

[CASTREX]

One Man can only work in so many things at the same time.. :biggrin:

And he is also working on the 1.8L Intake:thumbup:

So make a line!! :bellyroll:

[Yoda]

Not at the track. I beat those guys with minimal mods on my car.

Stock for stock the fits faster from what i have seen. but just by about 1/4 of a car.

[PETERPOOP]

From what you've seen....

[kou]

even Road and Track say the yaris is faster.the yaris is around 200lbs lighter than the fit(so we can call it, the not so Fit.)

[PETERPOOP]

My friend has a 06 fit with axleback,intake, and crank pulley. i'm going to race him soon and i'll show you guys whos faster via video!

I don't think a million dollars will cover it-do you know how big the Honda Fit market is? Actually, the best intake has been for the Miata-that one offer the best power gains of any motor yet.

Yeah, as much as i love Richard designing the mani for our cars, I'm surprised he hasn't hit up the other markets. I'm sure the fit and other eco cars have plenty of members willing to drop $$ on this piece.
Just let us know when our piece is finished, so we know who/when to pay.

[cali yaris]

A million dollars WOULD cover it. :rolleyes:

[mikenacarato]

richard, you mentioned making extras correct? i dont want to miss my chance on a manifold. im in the gb for the midrange but idk if it will be made or not :(

[richardholdener]

Extras will be made of the intake but the midrange intake will only be produced if suffficient interest exists (minimum of 10 orders.) I wouldn't wait, just get this intake since it looks like there will be a sell out.

richard, you mentioned making extras correct? i dont want to miss my chance on a manifold. im in the gb for the midrange but idk if it will be made or not :(

[mikenacarato]

ya thats what im getting at. i want to get this one instead of mission out on it, i just want to make sure you will be making some extras because unfortunately i cannot commit at this time because of the short notice (i just joined here not too long ago) but will try my best to come up with the money.

[PETERPOOP]

he stated that there will be more than 13 made on this first production run so add yourself to the list baby!@

The first production run of intakes willbemore than the number of people on the list, so please add your name. Installation is easy and comes with instaructions so that should not be a problem.

[mikenacarato]

im just worried about having the extra 700 by the end of the month... but what the heck..what else will i spend my bonus on?

add me to the high end list please

[PETERPOOP]

5 more then we get group buy price. correct?

[TheRealEnth]

o.0 How much would group buy price be?

[PETERPOOP]

i am pretty sure richard said if we got 20 buyers, we'd get 50$ off.

[dallas]

I think its great that Richard is designing us an intake, sadly I've been on too many forums like Altimas net seen intakes being made by "" pros" tuning on dyno's and in the end the gains are very limited unless you are boosted or pumping a much larger volume of air. Almost always you loose somewhere in the rpm range. You may dyno an extra 5 hp at 6000 rpm but you can end up with less hp under the curve. I would strongly reccomend you get a a/f meter to make sure your not running dangerously lean after doing a full intake system. I like the fact he is trying to offer two differently tuned intakes. Toyota spent a lot of time designing the manifold to be the best compromise of torque hp and drivability. I look forward to seeing some real world dyno's when people get them, on a plus, the bling factor of a tuned custom intake is priceless.

I dont listen to what mags say...I find most blow things way out and elaborate to attract readers. This is what happen. Two weeks ago at our local
let out show. 08 Fit and 08 Yaris line up raced to 80mph... FIT WON by 1/4. Changed drivers (Fit driver in Yaris and vise versa) Line up race again...It was closer but the FIT still took the win. I kno the Yaris is lighter but maybe the Fit might be geared better i dont kno (By the way gearing is just as improtant as having Hp, suspension and all that other stuff. Its not all about the engine) ... But watever it is the Fit won. Driver race maybe. I am tellin you wat i seen and not on some paper cause that does not always equal real world results.

[PETERPOOP]

driver.

[mikenacarato]

looks like i will have the money for it! so we pay when they are finished which is at the end of this month?

[cali yaris]

correct

[richardholdener]

All of your tesing is run with a wide-band oxygen sensor (data logged by the dyno) and we even run an Innovate on the street during development so the end user does not have to. The stock MAF on the Yaris has been very cooperative with the intake and there is little or no change to the air/fuel curve despite the significant change in power. Mass air meter systems are great that way. Regarding other applications, I have developed an intake for the Miata and Fit (still working on this one) and will look at other applications once we get things rollling with the Yaris and Scion applications. I have also run tests on an intake for the 08 Xb (same as TC) with good results so far. Needs more testing (difficult due to rear position of intake), but I think there is sufficient power to be had from this application. I just want to get yaris intake done before going on. As to power under the curve, the real trick to any intake design is to not have the trade off in power-big gains on top for losses down low or in mid range. Some times this is not possible, but with understanding (a lot of math) and long hours on the dyno, it can sometime be accomplished (like the Yaris design). That is why I alsways try to get the inatke to make power before I try to make it fit the chassis. If it doesn't make power, no sense in making it fit and trying to convince ther market that it is the hot ticket. I won't sell an intake if it doesn't perform.

[dallas]

Thanks for the ecouraging info! and again for building an intake for such an unlikely candidate!

[WolfWings]

Amen, what Dallas said! I know the Yaris is hardly the 'tuner' car like the Miata or even the various generations of Civic, but thanks for putting in all these long hours towards this intake for our little beasties. And you nailed it on the head, it's NOT easy to get good top-end gains without losing power somewhere else, that you gained as much as you did is great. :-)

[cali yaris]

did the test car get used yet? What's the current status on the process?

[mikenacarato]

progress? im too excited!

[Sabretooth]

I really hope to have the money by then.

Only reason why it sucks, cause the holidays are so close by... makes some of us torn between family and car parts...lol

[pinoypizzaboy]

Patiently waiting :)

[kou]

any word on production.

[Thej3sta2]

I really hope to have the money by then.

[KCALB SIRAY]

^ family first, but Holidays are not always about gifts...family IS a gift. But I can feel the pain though, timing is bad I guess

[cali yaris]

makes some of us torn between family and car parts...

No, it doesn't.

LOL

[id3379]

So there's no pics of this at all ?....

:needpics:

[at3GG]

I cannot wait to see some pictures and the results of this Manifold

[kou]

any word on a release date?i,m ready to :burnrubber: its 40 degrees out and my short ram is cold to the touch and its lonely it needs someone to play with.

[richardholdener]

We are stillconfiguring the production version-we offered to have it made adjustable but it seems interest is directed to standard version. We'll post a photo of production piece and then provide date for shipment of first production run.

[PETERPOOP]

hopefully not that much! I'm in hawaii! BLAH

[pickledchang]

when do you expect to haver a photo of the production piece? :drool:

[richardholdener]

Actually we had planned to have that done during the development of the long-tube header (last weekend) but we stopped to see if the people on the lost would want the inatke available as an adjustable unit. We will get back to it next week-our fabricator is busy with an LS3 cross ram and Ford Modular CFI system.

when do you expect to haver a photo of the production piece? :drool:

[mikenacarato]

will it fit a modular 281? haha

[richardholdener]

We are doing an IR intake for the 4.6L and 5.4L modular Fords applications. The 4.6L version may bee a cross ram likethe LS2 pictured elsewhere.

will it fit a modular 281? haha

[mikenacarato]

hah 4.6 is what i have...i told myself i wont waste more money on it though....:)

[blacksandiegovitz]

We are stillconfiguring the production version-we offered to have it made adjustable but it seems interest is directed to standard version. We'll post a photo of production piece and then provide date for shipment of first production run.

Please post pictures of the production piece both installed and un-installed , Im sooo stoked to see the finished manifold !

[cali yaris]

bump for updates?

[pinoypizzaboy]

is it ready?:wink:

[baked_limabeans]

sorry, but i'm going to have to take my name off the list. Things came up and i have to make some sacrifices.

Maybe another time.

[PETERPOOP]

almosssssssst time for shipping!

[Jerkratt]

if only i could pay u in payments...... i would be set lol

[cali yaris]

PM me ;-)

[PETERPOOP]

u have no idea how many times i have been helped by garm.. and at the same time getting some transactions done in the prosses. as well as getting the name out here

ill just give ur phone some action.. i got work from 4pm-9pm today so would i be able to call u after? and talk

[eii]

sorry, but i'm going to have to take my name off the list. Things came up and i have to make some sacrifices.

Yeah I think I might have to do the same..

[cali yaris]

jerkratt, call anytime. If I'm not taking calls (sleeping or whatever) my phone's ringer is off so no worries.

[mikenacarato]

bumpdate?

[richardholdener]

We are still working on intake-but Thanksgiving holiday is killing us in terms of finishing production piece. I will post as soon as we have completed intake and provide date for delivery-it will be later than end of NOV I'm afraid.

[PETERPOOP]

.....great.

[ChinoCharles]

Great is right. Gives me some time to pay some bills. :laugh:

[kou]

Great is right. Gives me some time to pay some bills. :laugh:

[blacksandiegovitz]

Great is right. Gives me some time to pay some bills. :laugh:

^^ yeah really , i'ved owned my yaris for like 5 weeks now and have spent more money on aftermarket parts than a years worth of car payments :eek:

Take your time finishing the manifold , good thing come to those who wait...
and I'll have my christmas bonus to buy the manifold with.

[cali yaris]

yeah, and your car is BADASS, dude... :clap:

[mikenacarato]

i know its hard to give an estimate at this point but i know we will all eventually have to pay. any idea on completion date or pay date? i was going to go ahead a take some of the money i was saving for this and pay for my class for next semester. as long as i have another week or so before i pay im in great shape.

[cali yaris]

You probably have a week or so

[Jerkratt]

gonna ask my mom about this as an early holiday present.. :D

[mikenacarato]

ok im good on my college tuition. ill have all the funds for this next wed. :)

[lilredrocket]

I will pick up one of the spots that was dropped if thats ok?

I'm ready to go. I even have a Simota short ram on the way to go with it. OH MERCY ME I CANNOT WAIT!

[ChinoCharles]

Oh, and I don't think my question ever got answered. Can we get these manifolds predrilled for nitrous injection?

[PETERPOOP]

Where's richard!?

i hope this will be ready soon. my buddy just bought a integra LS and still i cant keep up :laugh:

[richardholdener]

That is a photo of an intake being done bby Weapon R for the early Xb-won't fit the Yaris. If they produce it, you can bet there will be a back to back test to evaluate it against my intake.

is that a photo of what i think it is?

[richardholdener]

Nitrous bungs will likely be an option.

Oh, and I don't think my question ever got answered. Can we get these manifolds predrilled for nitrous injection?

[PETERPOOP]

ETA?

[at3GG]

Im not even getting one and this is driving me banana sandwhich. I want to see this thing!

[Yoda]

just wait. he working on it when he gets done he will let us know. He went through all the trouble to r&d then produce it i am pretty sure as soon as it is done he will want to recoup on the manufacturing costs

[PETERPOOP]

thanks i didn't know that

[ChinoCharles]

Nitrous bungs will likely be an option.

Awesome. Let us know!

[Black Yaris]

That is a photo of an intake being done bby Weapon R for the early Xb-won't fit the Yaris. If they produce it, you can bet there will be a back to back test to evaluate it against my intake.

the xB and the Yaris have different intake manifolds?

looking under my hood and the wife's hood, they look identical

[Yoda]

i think they bolt up differently

[CASTREX]

the xB and the Yaris have different intake manifolds?

looking under my hood and the wife's hood, they look identical

The difference is the bolt pattern from the Manifold to the TB.

It will require a TB adapter to exchange manifolds

Here's what i'm referring to.

That's not the order it's going to be sold and shipped in when all are made send your maney in and you will get one.

[anonymous user]

That's not the order it's going to be sold and shipped in when all are made send your maney in and you will get one.

Is that what he told you? I just didn't want to be left out in the cold if only X amount were made, even though i signed up to be on the list before someone else.
I'm sure you can understand that. I would do the same if i was late to the game as well.

[mikenacarato]

if i recall correctly, he said he would be producing more than the list to have some spares as well.

[PETERPOOP]

too bad he hasn't updated us at all on this recently..

[cali yaris]

he would be producing more than the list to have some spares as well.

That's correct, and it's likely that I will pay for and keep the additional units in stock to distribute for his company. Same thing with the midpipes and other products.

the order of the posted list is not important. whew.

[Klink10]

I am glad Calis is doing this for the excess produced units. My funds are tapped out at present....cycle project committed to prior is going to be done sooner than expected. If I get this it will have to be through Micro Image. My apologies.

[cali yaris]

bump for the end of the year hopefulness

[mikenacarato]

woo!!

[Neotribal]

Can't afford this right now (just got engaged, saving for a wedding and a house) but I'm excited to see this level of involvement for our little cars =)

Much love to everyone working on producing and supplying this and all of you willing to fork over the cash to make it a reality!

[ChinoCharles]

I'm getting quite excited about it now. Goooooooooo Richard!

[mikenacarato]

just curious as to how this is coming along. i hate to be that guy and all but im kinda hoping its taking more time. My fiance lost her job last month and ive been paying both of our bills and im getting swamped. i only have $100 of extra money for the entire month thats non bill related but ive got to pay for food and gas and other misc. things. :( unless someone can buy it for me and let me pay half upfront and then 1 or 2 payments to them i may have to drop out.

[kou]

bump. whats the word on this Richard please.

[cali yaris]

Haven't heard anything lately, I'll give him a call. I want it NOW.

[kou]

Haven't heard anything lately, I'll give him a call. I want it NOW.

so did you here anything,did you call,did he answer?thanks.

is this still happening.
:frown::cry::brokenheart:

[pinoypizzaboy]

Mid January bump yo!

[at3GG]

im not even getting one..(right now) and its killing me to wait and see it!

[cali yaris]

haven't heard yet

[kou]

BUMP.

[TheRealEnth]

Well ive got 700 $ finally... Would it be worth getting this or getting a bunch of less expensive things... like an affordable IHE combo and more? >.<

[ChinoCharles]

Yeah, the longer this drags the more I want to pull out. The economy isn't getting any better. Finish these up before I change my mind! :eek:

[cali yaris]

Enth, I would get this over those other mods, it's more horsepower and looks really cool. Assuming it has passed all technical tests and doesn't throw any CELs.

[ChinoCharles]

Is that the cause of the delay Garm?

[Carvin'07]

I would get on this, but Richard seems to be taking an inordinately long time in delivering to market.

Wasn't the original ETA something like August last year?

I'd love to get it, but this is pretty discouraging.

[anonymous user]

I may need to put my money else where as well. I may also pull out on this.

[cali yaris]

Richard will be posting up a little later on. I spoke with him today. There was some shaking up at DynaTek, and some doubt as to whether the company would continue to produce things like headers and intakes.

Richard says they are currently committed to producing the parts. If people want to pull out of the Group Buy, that is totally understandable, since there is no specific release date at this time.

When and if they are produced, I intend to carry them in my store. That's about all I can say -- I'm sure Richard could fill in more details for us.

[pinoypizzaboy]

so no release date yet?

[cali yaris]

He did not say on the phone when production pieces would be released. I believe the design is finalized.

[ztrack157]

I think a slight price drop would be proper to keep everyone in on this.

[ChinoCharles]

I think a slight price drop would be proper to keep everyone in on this.

How does that make any sense????

I'll just hang in there and hope the funds are around when the piece is finally released. Thanks for the reply Garm.

i can wait i am in it for the long haul.

[Jerkratt]

dam this is just making me want this more cause now that im finally paying things off and what not i might be able to end up with one of these in the long run

[mikenacarato]

ya i feel ya. i would at least like a round about idea when it will be done. i had all the money when i though we were going to pay a month ago and now ive had to take car of some other things and im starting at ground zero again.

[PETERPOOP]

i figured something went wrong. i'm still in.

[marcus]

want this badly ..09 fit owners is zipping by with their 118hp engine.

[Parmas]

What is the expected sale for European PPL>? VerInterested!

[drifto]

im very much in... most im sure cannot afford a supercharger(i know i cant), so this is actually a reasonable price considering the potential gains it could provide. id rather wait and have a properly engineered product than a rushed temperamental product.

[BlackMan_Ink]

I'm in just let me know when we're making the buy 2weeks in advance

[CASTREX]

News flash!!

This project has been dead for months... with no signs of coming back anytime soon...
