Micro Image Intake Manifold thread - Page 23 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Captain Slow · 02-26-2013, 11:02 AM

another good question, how is the positioning of the throttle body as compared to the stock piece? the reason I ask is because I'm not running an SRI or CAI, just the stock box with a TRD filter in it and I'd prefer to keep the stock intake box....but if it has to go I'd like to know about it in advance.

suckerface · 02-26-2013, 11:55 AM

If you have/want to swap out your stock box, I have a filter sitting in a closet going unused I'd like to get rid of...

As it is, I'd certainly encourage a more open intake (and ideally TB) as you can REALLY hear the engine, and it's amazing.

cali yaris · 02-26-2013, 12:42 PM

Our intake manifold works perfectly with your stock airbox. We were very careful to make this happen (one reason it took a couple extra prototypes). The throttle body isn't EXACTLY in stock position, but your stock flexible intake hose will make the adjustment just fine.

Captain Slow · 02-27-2013, 09:07 AM

good to know Garm, I prefer the stock box as it is quieter. I've had far too many cars with roaring loud intakes and am now leaning towards quieter options. thanks.

didn't like 5 or 6 manifolds get sold?, but only 2 people have written about them?

I was hoping to have more feedback.

cali yaris · 03-01-2013, 10:10 PM

4 installs have been posted so far. All positive feedback. Is there a question I can answer for you?

skeck · 03-02-2013, 12:37 AM

Love mine. Going to dyno 3rd week in march. Made appointment today as a matter of fact. Can't wait to see what my camcon will do with this since my camcon has been running in bypass mode waiting for a proper tune. Will keep everyone posted.

4/20 NEVER FORGET · 03-02-2013, 04:24 AM

I'm waiting to dyno mine until I get my exhaust finished and get a second bung for a wideband installed. Ill hopefully get it done this week, so the dyno will happen sometime after that.

I can say, after driving more, it's definitely improved power around 3-5k rpms. (I have a tach now) I drive some hilly roads regularly and the car pulls more easily up hills than it did before in 3rd and 4th gear. My butt-dyno feels it, it's funner to drive than before so I'm intersted to see what the dyno says.

Thanks Garm,

I guess I want to hear that it will make my life better ( I know thats unreasonable) and re-invent my car. Its alot of money, other than my coilovers and my assorted wheels and tires, its the second most that I would have spent on the car for 1 item and its hard to rationalize to myself for only 1 mod.

I've got a 1zz TB and the plastic intake spacer that you sell, both just waiting for this intake.

I'll get there eventually

When do more come in?

Will

I think mine should be approaching the end of it's finishing process!!!

cali yaris · 03-09-2013, 05:49 PM

^ Yes it should! And a few more new ones are going to be shipped next week as well!

jRoss · 03-11-2013, 12:50 AM

So this thing is just bolt off, bolt on? I'm definitely considering this mod in the future.

1.5 · 03-11-2013, 09:12 AM

Yes this would be considered "bolt on."

cali yaris · 03-11-2013, 10:26 AM

100% bolt on, and it's a complete kit that includes all the hardware you need for a perfect installation. It will even connect to your stock airbox.

mazilla · 04-11-2013, 03:20 AM

In...not as easy as I would have liked but that's because I have an aftermarket hood and a Mishimoto XB radiator. I was able to chop up my old hose which was great, saved me a few bucks. I did have to cut and reshape/weld the hood latch point on the MI carbon hood, the shape was off from OEM to begin with(this one a large square shape), it wasn't an issue until I had to route the coolant line. The bar was pinching the upper hose shut against the manifold. I just cut a 45 degree piece off, hammered/ground it a little and welded it flipped over, cleaned up the welds and hit it with some rattle can.

3cyltrbo · 04-12-2013, 02:30 PM

And?

how does it feel

Golddeenoh · 04-12-2013, 03:15 PM

like cold metal, how else would it feel? :P

cali yaris · 04-12-2013, 03:18 PM
