Ported intake manifold vs any performance manifold
Since there are no intake manifolds available for our cars yet, i was wondering if anyone knew if porting an existing I/M would do the same job. Price is not an issue so for all you that say it will be expensive, dont waist your time. I've realized i have to take matters into my own hands since i dont see one coming out soon. Thanks for your opinions.

yeah it's made of 100% plastic.. and i'm not sure why people don't make an intake manifold for us.. if people are starting to build motors.. i just think people build they're bottom end and no one is building the top end.. which if someone made parts for it i think people would actually buy it..

^^ yep, there's been a few. I'll have one that I can get for everyone. But It won't be cheap... At this point, from what Ive seen, there is not a huge reason for getting an aftermarket Intake manifold unless your boosting over 18lbs.. then you have to worry about the plastic actually exploding. From my understanding, if used on a NA set up the gains are not justified.
Kikcaffine, I want to use your car for some numbers to see the kind of gains with a Supercharger... then all we need is an NA tC to see if I can personally confirm my suspicions... I'll have to talk to Scinergy at some point about that (plenty of NA scions there) lol.

I keep reading about how our cars have bad n/a gains. Where are people getting this info from? I havent seen any factual information to support this information. Most people keep saying put a turbo... put a turbo and dont even try to get creative with our 2az-fe engines.
As for the I/M... It is made out of plastic and i see know that it would be a horrible idea. LOL (i didnt mention anything about polishing it BTW) Why is it that its taking you so long to make the manifold. I have been in the F/I forums. LOL im the guy that keeps asking for updates!! Why do you say you would have to be boosting 18psi before you needed an aftermarket I/M. Opening the airways would only help with better airflow intake.

OK I UNDERSTAND... BUT I JUST THINK ABOUT HOW MOST PEOPLE WITH TC'S ARE NOT BOOSTING OR RUNNING AN F/I SET UP. I THINK YOU COULD MAKE MORE MONEY SELLING I/M TO N/A CARS THEN F/I SET UPS.... JUST MY TWO CENT.

When it is finished Im sure we will considder both options. but I can't put it on ANY car as it stands right now. If you need one that bad, I can have one made in a matter of weeks... it just will take a signifant @mmount of $$ to get one so quickly.. We're working on multiple aspects of the car at the same time. Look at it this way, it's just another part to the bigger picture...
