1GR-FE ALUMINUM INTAKE MANIFOLDS

I'm interested in how well this will do down the road for you. I've heard a lot of bad reviews on STS but if I do go the turbo route in the future going custom might be too expensive for me.

 

Sounds like a pretty swell guy. Edit: Thank you.

I have been there and done that. With the right work, a rear mount can be a very good system. Xroller has one right now, and it is doing pretty well for him. Just needs proper attention to detail. Which the guys at STS overlook.

 

Something I still need to learn how to do. Haha. But with off-roading I don't think a rear mount would be optimal.

 

I don't offroad so lol

 

In regards to an N/A application, how soon can we expect a price and dyno results compared to stock?

 

Last I heard from the fabricator, is that he was waiting on some material to come in. My truck is getting some final touches to be able to drive again. Then all I have to do is setup a dyno day. But I want to do the dyno day for both, on the same day. Just to keep things as similar as possible.

I will try to get a hold of him today, and I will update as soon as I hear something.

 

any updates

 

i am almost afraid to ask for Price and dyno updates because dont want to stir up another forum fued. what am i talking about i enjoyed reading that shit, lol so Price and Dyno updates Mutha FuckAAAAAAAAA's

 

This is such an odd recurring pattern... thread evaporation just before dyno runs. What makes dyno runs such an insurmountable obstacle?

 

Each situations different I'm sure, some people don't want to fork over the usually 150~ dollars for one. Some people (like me) have no real access to one.

 

I have been working with SIK X to draft up some ideas for his own style.

I haven't heard anything from the original fabricator, since my last post on this subject.

As soon as I hear anything about forward progress, I will certainly update.

 

All I know is I'm enjoying my one off intake lol

 

The one guy. Lol. You are a lucky man though. Had Toons truck been available at test fit time, it would be on his truck right now. Crazy how things work out.

Supposedly, one similar in design to yours, is being built with carbon fiber.....

 

I hope you don't think I'm being unduly critical or am just a do-nothing armchair quarterback.

I've already been doing what you and the manifold spacer guy are both struggling to do. I began with an idea and took it all the way from a concept through to a finished intake manifold.




I marketed them myself, and am using the profits to enjoy doing my own pure "crazy" R & D experimentation. (just the rough mockup )



This is not a static process. One idea flows into another and another. The fun and adventure is following that silver thread of ideas just to see where they will lead.

There was no great insurmountable struggle to produce dyno results, no leading people on with a long endless string of excuses why they weren't happening. I simply did the damn runs and posted the results.



Now the gains weren't astounding, but the runs were honest with nothing done to falsely enhance the results, and the gains were enough to sell manifolds at a modest price commensurate with their performance improvement. This has bought me the freedom to experiment further...

 

Nope. Go for it. Just because I am involved with trying to get projects moving forward, doesn't mean others cannot.

If I had the tools to make the stuff myself, the 1GR intake manifold would have been made years ago. I unfortunately am at the will of others' time and tools.

 

I understand, Tors... you do your best with what you got.

 

I'm about 2 start tig welding. As soon as I get that all set up I will do my best 2 try an make a Intake for us all. Torspd I'm building my engine as we speak an my Trans gonna be putting 15psi at the engine maybe more hopefully be Putin out 600hp

 

Hell yeah man. Glad to hear about another power build! What all internals, and where are you getting it built?

 

Brian crower rods cp performance pistons arp head studs I'm doing all the work. It's what I do for a living lol

 

If I didn't already have the Pauter Rods, I would have upgraded to the BC 625+Aged rods. Great price from Dezod, and rated at 300hp a hole!

If you don't already know, give yourself .004" clearance from piston to cylinder bore, to allow piston expansion. So you don't create piston slap.
