Nice, glad to see you're still keeping the dream alive :D

Manifold now in hand! Time to test fit and see if I am going to cry or not.

That manifold looks awesome! How are you going to route your downpipe?

Very carefully! Haha. It will be routed below the manifold and down the tunnel.

Lol i see you're changing your setup quite a bit, whats your new speed goal when you have her all buttoned up?

[fnkngrv]

Believe me. I had no intention of updating the setup so soon, but after finding about the issues with the old t mani I pretty much ran out of options. I could have had another log mani fabbed, but with the setup time/cost having a tubular made more sense. I also have the cooling issues so there will be the reroute of the IC piping for obvious reasons, the install of the new rad, and hopefully putting the AC back in.

I am still chasing 175mph in the standing mile. My best effort so far unofficially netted me just over 151.

I spoke with a racing shop near Houston this evening and once we get moved to DFW I plan on making a trip down to discuss a new intake manifold along with installing the cable TB. I would like to attend the Texas Mile next spring and possibly TX2k.

151 in a Yaris, you sir are insane in a good way lol. Hopefully you'll get her up by the schedule you have set, your Yaris in the Texas mile blasting over 150+ will bring the community some much needed attention. Do you happen to know what parts are needed to do a DBW to cable conversion?

Cable TB, cable, gas pedal. Splicing the TPS. Can't recall off hand if anything else. I have what I need. Bought it over the winter. The parts are in atorage right now. I will have to do a new TB charge pipe when I do install it since the pipe will be 3" instead of 2.25" coming from the IC.

Thank you, please keep us updated with pictures. Your new manifold looks awesome, cant wait to see how your intake manifold setup will look.

Thanks. I love the car at that speed. Taken her almost to 170 actually. Once again unofficially. I will be able to tweak further stability wise too bow that I have the Tanabe coilovers I bought from MI. They will allow me to raise the car to be able to trailer if needed or to be towed. I will also be able to press her as close to the ground as I can as long as she stays stable and doesn't build a band of "fixed" air under her.

I would love one day to take her to a wind tunnel to see what really happens with the air, but that for now is a pipe dream.

The intake manifold will be a while I wager, but I will. It will be pretty expensive unless I get sponsorship or really lucky.

I thought we determined that 164 was the mechanical limit of the gearbox, didn't we? Even so, that's crazy fast!

That is what we thought, but my Ulysses Speedometer Pro GPS came in at 168. I had saved the log on my phone, but when I was in PHX in march VZW swapped it thinking my hotspot chip was bad so I lost the logs. They can be imported to a text file, but anyone can manipulate those so rather than possibly be disputed I just left it alone. I should have done a screen cap I guess, but I honestly could care less if people believe me or not.

Also the 164 is what GSD said that theu hit when tuning @7000. I ran her up to 7500 this last fall.

Started the preliminary work to bolt everything back together.

New ACT Stage 3 clutch:



Turbo manifold install:









Some fabrication required:

My lord, that last picture send shivers down my spine. Can't wait to see what your downpipe will look like in that tiny bit of space lol

[fnkngrv]

Haha. Looks worse than it is. The downpipe will be minor. Almost a direct 90° down into the tunnel. The dump pipe off the wastegate will be fun. I haven't decided if I am going to do an open dump or recirc into the downpipe yet. Part of me really wants an open dump. Part of me doesn't wanna deal with the noise on an open dump....haha

Just saw the wastegate mount, damn. That turbo mounted sideways like that looks menacing! Dump it of course, even if its just to be one of the handful of fellas with that type of setup lol
