So you're actually paying around $700 for the manifold itself. sleepermr212-01-2007, 10:51 PMdamn that thing is beautiful. sorry man, cant do the group buy thins time:( Hellstorm12-02-2007, 04:12 AMgive me $700 and ill buy one :D Bak@EMSPowered12-02-2007, 04:41 AMSo far there's 3 people seriously interested and able/ready to pay. We need 7 more. Bak@EMSPowered12-02-2007, 06:54 AMPrice updated in the first post as well. We can get the price even lower if we get more people:

It'll add anywhere from 20-150 hp over a stock manifold. It greatly depends on the rest of your setup. The stock intake manifold is a huge bottleneck. Bak@EMSPowered12-06-2007, 08:56 AMSo we have 9 people so far. We need 6 more... anyone else? mr2gq12-06-2007, 09:06 AMWell whay about a guesstamation of power if you have the boost turned up ro say 17psi and 3" exhaust? Its looks like a very good design. Nice larg plenum to build volume and nice size individual runners to keep up the velocity Sylvan12-06-2007, 09:19 AMWhere's the EGR port? j/k.. that thing is frickin beautiful. Wish I could, but cash is low at the moment. Is that compatible with TVIS or does it replace the TVIS plate? mr2gq12-06-2007, 09:44 AMDamn it dont have a egr port? That sucks Bak@EMSPowered12-06-2007, 12:39 PMWell whay about a guesstamation of power if you have the boost turned up ro say 17psi and 3" exhaust? Its looks like a very good design. Nice larg plenum to build volume and nice size individual runners to keep up the velocity

I really would be lying to you if I made a guess. It really varies greatly from car to car.


Damn it dont have a egr port? That sucks

There's not a single aftermarket intake manifold out there that has EGR ports. mr2gq12-06-2007, 12:56 PMWell that sucks. Kind of hurts the motor with out it Bak@EMSPowered12-06-2007, 01:06 PMWell that sucks. Kind of hurts the motor with out it

No it doesn't. EGR is only an emissions requirement. NONE of the JDM motors even have EGR, straight from Toyota. Bak@EMSPowered12-06-2007, 01:43 PMwe're up to 11 people..... almost there guys... mr2gq12-06-2007, 04:53 PMyes it does. Especially if hte motor was designed with it and tuned with it. Unless its variable cam timing. Do you even know what the egr really does? It re-cir unburnt gas which inturns raises your octan and actually lowers the ambiant temp of the head. So when you go taking it off, and you go putting 93 in your tank its not relly 93. Cause by taking it off you just lowered your octan hat the car was tuned with... So why take it off? Is it slowing ur car down??? Nope Sang12-06-2007, 05:22 PMyes it does. Especially if hte motor was designed with it and tuned with it. Unless its variable cam timing.

Running without EGR is perfectly fine on anything from a stock car, to a 700whp car... mr2gq12-06-2007, 05:25 PMNot saying its going to blow the motor or anything just hurt the performance. But if you dont believe me thats fine. Im not going to try and change anyones mind. All im going tosay is research it Bak@EMSPowered12-06-2007, 06:40 PMI think you need to do more research on EGR. It doesn't hurt a 3sgte by removing EGR functionality. Lets take that discussion to another thread though and keep this thread on track...

So we're up to 12 people... TRD_MR2_DRGN12-06-2007, 07:31 PMInterested but have some questions. Is this going to be through EMSPowered? Has anybody used this manifold from this company before with results? Couldn't tell if there is a cold start injector hole for it or if it's blocked off. sleepermr212-06-2007, 08:14 PMyes it does.

sounds to me that you dont know what an EGR valve does and YOU need to do some research. the EGR, in no way, raises your octane level. :rofl:i would love for you to go ahead and prove that. in fact leaving it on doesnt even effect performance because it closes when at full throttle and at idle. so you are only a like 1/8 right in your statement. ambient is outside temps, it reduces cyl temps, it re circulates exhaust gas (already burned) research

anyways, this will be a bump for baktasht ;) buy theses manifolds people! mr2gq12-06-2007, 08:24 PMHmm well I though he said to shut up about it like I was going to leave it alone but since you want to continue.The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is one of the engine's primary emission controls. Its purpose is to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOX) pollution in the exhaust. It does this by "leaking" (recirculating) small amounts of exhaust into the intake manifold through the EGR valve. Though the gases are hot, they actually have a cooling effect on combustion temperatures by diluting the air/fuel mixture slightly. Lowering the combustion temperature reduces the formation of NOX as well as the octane requirements of the engine.
If the EGR valve is not opening, either because the valve itself is defective or because its vacuum supply is blocked (loose, plugged or misrouted vacuum hose connections, or a defective vacuum control valve or solenoid), the cooling effect is lost. The result will be higher combustion temperatures under load and an increased chance of detonation. The egr adds octane to your engine which your ecu is tuned with. So when you take it off you are lowering the octane. Which in neteffect your hurting the performance and increasding the chance of detonation. Which we all know thats bad for anymore let alone a turbo motor TRD_MR2_DRGN12-06-2007, 08:26 PMEnough of the EGR debate, it doesn't matter. Lets get back on track to the manifold? If you can get 14 orders, I'm probably in for it. Price is close to RMR manifold, but I like how this one's rounded and not boxy. I'd like more details first before I get one. Seems like more people use the RMR though. Bak@EMSPowered12-06-2007, 08:31 PMInterested but have some questions. Is this going to be through EMSPowered? Has anybody used this manifold from this company before with results? Couldn't tell if there is a cold start injector hole for it or if it's blocked off.

We, EMSPowered, are sponsoring this group buy. Basically we're putting up the funds (minus the deposits) to get these made. The actual manifolds are being made by KU Engineering. Buying this manifold from KU would cost you close to $1200. There are a couple others in the USA using this manifold, but not many, because of the high price tag, and also because KU doesn't make too many of these. There two people I know of in the US that are using this manifold, one is making upwards of 500rwhp and the other is making around 650rwhp. The manifold is a great design. The plenum is a great design that was originally design by JUN. If you ever find an original JUN manifold these days, even used, you'll be paying around $1000-1400.

So, who else? :) Sang12-06-2007, 11:00 PMLets take that discussion to another thread though and keep this thread on track

Hey B,

Is the 28th a definite end time? Or will you close it early if you get to 15 prior to that? I may, or may not, be interested depending on how work goes this winter break...but I wont know until pretty much until the 28th (and when christmas shopping etc, is over).

Also, what is the time frame looking like once the orders are placed? I checked out KU's ads/listings and they all say that it takes them a while to make these manifolds.

I'll keep this open until the 28th for sure, definitely won't be closing it early because there are several others that are waiting a couple of weeks until their Christmas shopping is over too :)

I've talked to KU for a few weeks now and their typical output for the MR2 specific manifold is about 1-2 per month. They're hand welded so the time involved with makinng them is quite a bit. They're willing to work with us and so far it looks like they're going to be shooting for a 1-2 month turnaround for the around 15 manifolds. If we get more than 15 it'll be closer to 2 months. Bak@EMSPowered12-07-2007, 04:49 PMWe are officialy at 15 people for this group buy. That means as long as all 15 people stay in and follow through with deposits by the 28th, we will have these at the lowest price possible through KU Engineering.

For those that asked, YES, I'm leaving this open until the 28th. So anyone else that wants to be added to this group buy can still jump in, until the 28th.

For everyone that has joined or is thinking about joining this group buy, please keep in mind that all deposits will be due by December 28th. Then the final amount will be due when the manifolds arrive. I will post payment instructions next week for deposits. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-08-2007, 07:52 AMI'm pretty sure I'm in for this. Does this have the cold start injector hole? Wondering because don't have a standalone yet and wondering if it'll be able to go on and upgrade later.

Where do I send Paypal to? Would like to know early before deadline, cus paypal has messed up my account in the past so don't want to miss the deposit and get left out.

How come everybody thats in for this mani is from the other board? Nobody from this board interested?

I'm not 100% sure on the coldstart injector hole. But I can check with KU Engineering to find out. Be aware, you can still run on the stock ECU without a cold start injector. I'll doublecheck with KU ASAP. Email me for deposit information admin@emspowered. Also, I added you to the list in the first post. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-08-2007, 08:07 AMWould this mani be too big for a TD06 setup with no head work? Like this design of mani and would like to get a second one for the other 2 which is going to be mildly built. The though of spending 1300 at one time scares me though, but 645 shipped is such a great price. Can't decide.

I'll send you an email tonight after work. If you don't get a deposit from me before the last week, I'll need a reminder cus I work a lot and may forget to send it.

An intake manifold upgrade would benefit you with any medium to large sized turbo. And a TD06 definitely falls in that category. It'll help the engine breath much better and help with more even distribution of air between the cylinders. 1300 would usually buy you ONE of these manifolds ;) It'd be a nice move to grab two of them for the same price you'd normally get one :devil: TRD_MR2_DRGN12-08-2007, 08:24 AM1300 would usually buy you ONE of these manifolds ;) It'd be a nice move to grab two of them for the same price you'd normally get one :devil:

That's the tempting part. But so much money at one time and not having it for awhile. Tempting though. May have to think about it since the deadline is coming up quick. May have to work some more 80 hr/week to get this. Too bad deadline is so quick, my lease on the appt that I don't even live in doesn't end till January. :( tksmr212-08-2007, 11:15 AMAny performance charts/dynos with this manifold compared the stock manifold? Bak@EMSPowered12-08-2007, 11:19 AMAny performance charts/dynos with this manifold compared the stock manifold?

Unfortnately no comparison dynos available at this time. It is rare to see this style manifold in the USA since both companies that produce this style manifold are in Asia. They are fairly expensive to import to the US which is why there are so few of them here. I personally know of 2 MR2's in North America that are running this particular manifold. There are probably a few more as well, but not that many yet because of the high cost. This group buy is basically anyone's chance that has been wanting one to get in on a great price. TreyMR212-08-2007, 11:43 AMWould this benefit any on a relatively stock Gen3? I know you don't know exact numbers but would it be worth it for a almost stock engine? Bak@EMSPowered12-08-2007, 11:50 AMWould this benefit any on a relatively stock Gen3? I know you don't know exact numbers but would it be worth it for a almost stock engine?

It would definitely show respectable gains on a Gen3. But I would recommend a good tune of some sort for anyone planning on using any sort of aftermarket intake manifold. Without a tune you will see some gains. But you really need a tuner to take control and bring out the hidden power when switching something as important as an intake manifold. Sang12-08-2007, 12:04 PMWould this benefit any on a relatively stock Gen3? I know you don't know exact numbers but would it be worth it for a almost stock engine?

You'll see bigger gains with a set of cams on a stock gen3 (well...technically you'll see bigger gains upgrading your turbo away from the ct20b).

So it's Turbo, then cams, then intake manifold. But you can get the turbo and cams any time of the year...those products aren't going anywhere and prices aren't really changing while intake manifold may not be around at a later time at this price. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-09-2007, 01:28 AMTrue, true. I've never seen a GB on a set of HKS cams or any turbo setup. Especially a turbo set up since everybody wants something different.

This may sit for awhile with everything else I've got before going onto the car since its such a good deal. Only problem is there is a GB on under panels also, at the same time. DOOH Bak@EMSPowered12-09-2007, 10:10 PMSo far we're up to 21 people. Anyone else want to join this GB?

This manifold bolts directly to the cylinder head. So the TVIS is removed.

at this price? Probably never. We will not be stocking these manifolds at any point in the future. This was just a one time group buy as a favor to the MR2 community and to those who had been bugging me over and over for the last 6 months to make this happen :) When its all said and done, after import costs, shipping costs, and taxes, I think we're breaking even on this one. So there's not really any incentive to carry these long term. Sang12-12-2007, 12:13 AMWhen its all said and done, after import costs, shipping costs, and taxes

Import costs and taxes? Where's KU located...for some reason I thought they were a company within the states? Bak@EMSPowered12-12-2007, 12:26 AMImport costs and taxes? Where's KU located...for some reason I thought they were a company within the states?

KU Engineering is in Japan. Their manufacturing/shipping facility is in Thailand. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-12-2007, 03:03 AMOk, some questions. One I would like the Q45 TB, second one not sure on. Probably stock cus it's gonna be on a tdo6 so fairly stock engine (or at least I consider it). I'd like to use a larger TB on the second but kinda would like something that is more bolt on with less hassle. I think I saw something about a Q45 TB being able to plug into the stock harness with some splicing (this option would be what I'm looking for)? Any ideas.

The blue TB in the pics on the first post, where or who has those? Custom/fab or a plug and play type TB?

Did you ever find out about the cold start injector hole? Not as much of a big deal, thinking I could probably drill the hole out afterwards if I decide to use it (probably easier then filling it in). PearlJammzz12-12-2007, 09:11 AMSeems there is a fair amount of interest...I'd be all over one if I wasn't buying me a turbo now. I'd like to suggest maybe bringing this up in a year? See if we can get some more on the market? :) Bak@EMSPowered12-12-2007, 09:16 AMOk, some questions. One I would like the Q45 TB, second one not sure on.

You can splice the Q45 TB sensors into the stock wiring. But I myself am not familiar with the procedure/steps.

The Blue TB in the pics can be bought directly from KU (and a couple of other retailers online). They are a bit expensive though, about 4-5 times the cost of a used Q45 TB.

I am waiting on a response back from KU Engineering on the cold start injector.


Seems there is a fair amount of interest...I'd be all over one if I wasn't buying me a turbo now. I'd like to suggest maybe bringing this up in a year? See if we can get some more on the market? :)
We probably won't. The problem is... This is quite a bit of money to front (even after deposits are made) for an item we are not really making money on. This was more of a way to thank the MR2 community for everyone's great support and to organize a group buy for a pretty rare item that a handful of people have been wanting for quite some time. But you never know, I might be able to be convinced to do it again :devil: PearlJammzz12-12-2007, 09:29 AMAhh, well depending on gains from similar setups that I will be going for, I may be very interested :-p.

I would love to see some dyno numbers on various setups of before/after though :). You guysh ave a dyno down there at the shop? Bak@EMSPowered12-12-2007, 09:56 AMNope, no dyno here. There are lots of local dyno's that are available though. I'm friends with several of the local dyno/shop owners here, so getting time on one is not a problem. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-13-2007, 12:12 AMI think any mani with a larger surge tank is better then stock. And I actually perfer this mani over the RMR cus it slopes down instead of being a box. Never seen actual dyno or numbers for this mani, but I would guess that it would flow/distribute the air better. Just a guess. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-13-2007, 12:21 AMWtf...I better see a heck of a lot of 350-400+whp dynos coming out of this community by the summer :)

Not on this board. Doesn't seem like anybody from this board is ordering one. I haven't been on the other board in a looooong time. Maybe I should hop back over. Looks a like thats where all the actions at. RedStarr12-13-2007, 03:05 AMExcuse my ignorance, but what's stopping a US company from building a quality replica? Would safe on fees and probably would be easier to get a group buy thing going on Bak@EMSPowered12-13-2007, 03:12 AMExcuse my ignorance, but what's stopping a US company from building a quality replica? Would safe on fees and probably would be easier to get a group buy thing going on

R&D takes time, even for a replica. Time = money. So far I don't know of any US based companies that are making this manifold. KU Engineering has taken the time to design the manifold and modify a few things to make the design even better. So at this point, a group buy for these through KU is the only current option. If someone in the US decides to make a readily available intake manifold of good quality that is not rare and hard to get, then that'll be the next best option ;) TRD_MR2_DRGN12-14-2007, 12:06 AMPayment just sent for two mani's. lude188812-14-2007, 12:37 AMI'm contemplating on buying one since my old one seems to have a leak where it bolts to the head probably due to warping. What is the issue with not having an even distribution of air to all the cylinders with the old mani's compared to this one? Bak@EMSPowered12-14-2007, 10:09 AMPayment just sent for two mani's.
Thanks!

The stock intake manifold does not do a very good job of distributing the intake charge evenly between cylinders. This manifold will definitely distribute the intake charge much more evenly.

Update:
Everyone who is on the list, please try your best to make your deposits as soon as possible. The quicker we can get everyone that is on the list to make their deposits, the quicker we can give KU the thumbs up to start manufacturing these for us. You can complete your deposits here:
MR2 JUN Replica Intake Manifold (Deposit) - $425.00 : EMSPowered, High Quality, Great Service, Low Prices (http://emspowered.com/storefront/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35&products_id=176)

Also, when making your deposits please make sure to include your board name in the notes of your payment when checking out. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-15-2007, 03:59 AMSo what number are we up to on actual deposits paid? Bak@EMSPowered12-15-2007, 07:00 PMSo what number are we up to on actual deposits paid?

I'll get the list updated tonight to show who has paid their deposits. Bak@EMSPowered12-16-2007, 07:19 AMAs requested, I have updated the list in post#1 to show who has/hasn't paid their deposits. Bak@EMSPowered12-16-2007, 05:10 PMFor anyone else that is thinking about joining this group buy and has not been added to the list yet, please let me know. Remember we will be closing this on December 28th. Bak@EMSPowered12-26-2007, 12:06 AMEveryone, we're coming down to the last few days here. PLEASE MAKE YOUR DEPOSITS as soon as you possibly can so that we can get a final count and get production started on these.

If you are not going to participate in this group buy and you have previously asked to be added to the list, please email or PM me and let me know that you have changed your mind (don't post here to avoid cluttering up an already long thread).

If anyone has questions regarding how to make your deposits feel free to ask.

Again, please please please make your deposits as soon as you can so we can get a final count. So far more than half of you have not made your deposits yet. jdm91t12-27-2007, 07:41 PMmade my deposit for manifold and TB TRD_MR2_DRGN12-27-2007, 08:10 PMCome on people make your deposits and don't let this group buy die. At least 15 people need to make a deposit please. Bak@EMSPowered12-27-2007, 08:26 PMCome on people make your deposits and don't let this group buy die. At least 15 people need to make a deposit please.

we're WAY over 15 already, I'll update the list tonight. TRD_MR2_DRGN12-27-2007, 10:17 PMWOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

So do we get an even better deal then the $649 if we're over the 20 mark. :)

10 for 749
15 for 649
20 for 549
25 for 449

25 for 449 and I may order a third just for the heck of it. It'll be a nice display piece to have around. Bak@EMSPowered12-27-2007, 10:24 PMWOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

i wish :) That'd make it cheaper for me too!! Since i'm part of this group buy too. I've talked to KU several times since this GB started and they won't budge on the pricing past what they've given us so far. Even at 25 units or more. It's understandable, since they normally sell for almost twice as much :devil: TRD_MR2_DRGN12-27-2007, 10:39 PM:( Oh well, worth a try.

That would've been sweet though if we got a bigger discount. Would've order an extra or two just for the heck of it. Maybe even a Gen III mani just for fun.

Well, if we've got enough and some people don't put their deposit in, makes my intake mani worth more later then, haha. :lol: Bak@EMSPowered12-27-2007, 10:57 PMGuys (and girls :) ),

Almost 40 mani's :omg: Buy 2 get one free haha. With that many orders, they should consider making couple extras for stock/sell later. Bak@EMSPowered12-30-2007, 03:48 AMThat is a lot of people.

Here is some eye candy for you guys. Enjoy!!!

Some pics of the mani on a spare head. In the second pic, if you look at where the threading on the stud stops, there's a gap. I'm guessing you have to use the TVIS plate with the mani so if you want to keep the TVIS you can. Does anybody know if there is a shorter stud available to use to remove the TVIS plate. boost3d205-18-2008, 11:43 PMis this still available? very interested Bak@EMSPowered05-19-2008, 03:29 PMis this still available? very interested
