I don't believe Garm stole your intake design but if you spent the money for GE to develop these solely for your company without getting an NDA your an idiot.

Looking at the pictures and they look clearly different down to the angle of the throttle body and the length of the runners.

I'm sorry but telling me to do your work for you is just lazy. The proof is on you.

Oh no I missed some TBR drama...

Wow, look how clean your shop is.

It's temporary, unfortunately!

xnamerxx · 08-28-2012, 06:22 PM

When's the dyno test?

cali yaris · 08-28-2012, 06:24 PM

End of this week to mid next week... got Labor Day this weekend which includes Monday.

It looks super!

There were some issues with hose lengths, and we were unable to use the stock airbox, because the throttle body was moved to the driver side by a couple of inches.

I know!

I had exactly the same issue with mine... except that it ended up being almost 3 inches.

I'll post pics of the install with more detail next, but here's a shot of the intake (keep in mind it's an unfinished prototype)

Your's looks much better than the Weapon R because they pieced their runner halves together...

How long are the runners? They look longer than the Weapon R's which should be good for low end.

Just for comparison, Richard Holdener also pieced his runners together, and staggered them into a larger plenum.

Thanks tooter!

Let's just say "longer" for now.

This is the only manifold with this exactl runner length, don't let anyone tell you different (you know who I mean).

I was working and missed what happened today... but I think I know who you mean from the blast marks left behind.

From the larg diameter welds on the plenum side of the runners, it appears that you incorporated velocity stacks. That's a definite advantage.

Are you going to come up with a modified normally aspirated intake to match your manifold? Just asking, because if it fit your altered throttle body position it would likely fit mine, too.

cali yaris · 08-28-2012, 07:18 PM

^ I'm not sure yet. Let's see if it makes any power first.

packetrace · 08-28-2012, 07:20 PM

does it have the same angle for tb then stock one ?

Garm..on your car ....it has short runners right ?

justjesus · 08-28-2012, 07:21 PM

power!
I'm power hungry. I need power.

I need some NOS. Give me the big one... no, give me two of them

Yoda · 08-28-2012, 07:43 PM

Ahh look it's the long awaited manifold. Dibs!

4/20 NEVER FORGET · 08-28-2012, 08:26 PM

Look at the length of those runners... hot!

I can't wait to see the dyno results. If it does make power (which is should judging by the design) I'll be ready to purchase and slap on my 1zz TB. Congrats guys for moving forward on this!

Edit: like seriously, pm me as soon a these come available for purchase

cali yaris · 08-28-2012, 09:02 PM

^ ha, don't worry! Next step is some more driving, then dyno pulls. It will all be posted here, no hidden information, no bullshit, no drama.

packetrace · 08-28-2012, 09:15 PM

I got to agree that it looks really good!! I like the runners...

Does it have the same angle for the TB then stock manifold ?...I mean...except for the lenght...does the angle is the same...I would only need to cut the CAI piping..?

Bluevitz-rs · 08-28-2012, 09:49 PM

Is there going to be a 3 bolt TB option? Is it at all possible to make the mounting flange universal to fit either TB?

scioncrew · 08-28-2012, 10:07 PM

manifold looks good Garm
