Why do you want one other than the stock one?

Probably becuase this motor can gain if someone properly makes one. The stock one is full of different baffles and such.

The key to making power and efficiency is making sure that there is no compromise in volumetric efficiency. Simply hogging out to a larger intake manifold wont do jack.

LOL... and that is exactly what MMW learned the hard way.

They made a big announcement before they had ever tested the product. Once they finished the prototype they fell silent about the entire ordeal.

People have posted questions to their threads several times with no response.

Thats because many companies are NOT engineers. They simply go by what worked in the past which isnt always true now. Technology has come a long way. We can now make power with small motors, runners, compenents, etc. That bigger is better crap is old school technology. On a performance/economy engine like the 1nz, we want to keep the gas charge velocity up. If we go with oversize manifolds and runners, the fuel will will drop in non-combustible drops. That will kill the performance, youll lose power, and not to mention it will wash away the lubricants on the cyl walls. Good going....
