My New Manifold

[toyotaxr8]

A Few Pics of my new manifold on my 2002 AUII XR8, Tell me what you think

[StealthAu]

looks good what did it set you back?

[Bitmap]

It's a beauty. Well done!

[JC]

Looks great. Much difference in power, response etc?

[AU dude]

Looks tuff, what increase in hp or kw did it give you over the standard manifold?

[302XLS]

Have you noticed any gains with the new manifold? did you dyno before and after?

[toyotaxr8]

$1000 for the manifold+twin throttle bodies
$400 for new gaskets + all the seals on the injectors+ a 1/2 spacer

[toyotaxr8]

Its a lot more responsive and more top end
the car had 160.4 at the wheels before will get it tuned next week so i will post the new stats and the new and old dyno sheet then

[302XLS]

here's a pic of mine


having it polished and have to tidy up the intakes. :

[toyotaxr8]

that looks cool what did you notice when you put yours on
and dose yours have runners and what length are they?

[302XLS]

Ok, that's a bit too technical for me, as I had it put on for me. it did get a good mid to high end gain, but now have added a flash tune (generic) and once i get the 90 mm Maf from the states, pod filtler and sealed box built, cam and lifters installed will be going for a dyno tune to really get the best out of it.

[302XLS]

was told today that i'll probably need to upgrade my injectors as well.

[toyotaxr8]

yes a bigger maf would do a lot i was going to get hold of a air box out of a BA the round style one with the cold air intake for a BA then heads and cam to get it really boogieing

[AUTickford]

both look awesome id love to have a crack at making one if i had a welder, what kind of throttle bodys are they? xf?

[toyotaxr8]

standard AUII 185kw V8 throttle bodies

[302XLS]

what i've done for right now is to put the secondary intake in the front, had to cut a bit of the light housing away, but fit pretty well afterwards. made some increased airflow, but think with the pod with a G&D style box would do much better, I just reckon the $650 they ask for is a bit rich for a couple pieces of sheet metal and a pod filter and some tubing.

[302XLS]

mine are the standard 64 mm tb as when i put the 90mm maf and 90mm tubing there's no point in going more than the twin 64.

[toyotaxr8]

have a go son make one your self

If you have the blue 24lb injectors you won't need to replace them. I still have them on mine and I have no issues.

Again, very technical for myself...... gang plug????? don't know what that is or where it goes, maybe a picture would help. There are a couple of plugs that the guy didn't connect, when i have it put back on when polished i'll have to make sure that all is connected though.

[302XLS]

thanks red. those are the ones i have.

ok, my throttle bodies are turned on there side, so that piece is on the bottom. I was told the throttle bodies were put like that as they would benifit with the way that they openned-better response apparently.

15.2828 at heathcote : was hoping for a high 14
I am going to heathcote again this month to run with the new manifold and see what it gets

What other mods do you have? is yours a manual or auto?
Stock the best time i could get was 14.90 lol, mine now is a bit of a struggle to get off the line cleanly, but has run a 14.7, now with edit it should do much better, only need better tyres lol.
Keep us posted on the results, manifold lloks good by the way.
