Won't the car hit the speed limiter in 4th?

Anyway shouldn't matter, it's all calculated numbers anyway. The only true measure of power is directly off the crankshaft. The gearbox is simply a tourque multiplier to allow the car to move at different speeds.

Thanks for setting me straight, Blue.

The engine hit the limiter in 4th with both manifolds.
It just took 30 seconds to get there.

I hit the limiter for 4th right now...guess boost helps a LOT

wicked!!!!!

I think we got enough accuracy with 3rd gear pulls to be able to compare the stock part to the part we made. That's all I was after. If I just wanted the highest number possible, I would have booked a more forgiving dyno machine.

On my car, we've done 4th gear pulls -- no speed limiter, rev limiter programmable, and 3rd gear goes by pretty quickly. I did have an assumption then that 4th gear would be better for all cars, but I think I was incorrect about that being a hard rule.

I'm feeling a bit more coming from that manifold with an exhaust, header and a cold air.... I am really excited to see what it does when it breathes on both ends.

^ looks like that is the case. As previously stated a part like this could really be a crapshoot and in this case it was a positive result even on a car with limited mods so that is a big plus.

Any chance of a 1ZZ version with nitrous ports?

Yeah the timing backs way off as RPM climbs. An old acquaintance put a programmable ecu on his echo and said he added 20° of timing to the top end and gained a whack of top end power with nothing more than the regular boltons.

i was watching my scangauge this weekend...up in the top end in boost my timing is down to around 15*...i could probably run diesel in this thing

Sometimes I miss my carburetors... I wonder if there is a way to adjust the position of the crankshaft position sensor and just have the damn thing advanced 2 degrees from the get go

Bluevitz-rs · 09-07-2012, 08:41 PM

Theres absolutely no way to move the sensor but you could have a new pickup wheel made up or try and rotate it somehow.

Autocross72 · 10-06-2012, 02:16 PM

Any more info? It's been almost a month since the last post to this thread. I love the handling of my Yaris (Megan Racing coil overs and Ultra Racing chassis bracing) but it DEFINITELY needs more power. I want one of these intakes with a larger throttle body!

along for the ride. Starting to mod my gf's yaris (our daily).
