SVX ToMyx Intake Completed
Yes...it is finally done. I officially stamp this the ToMyx intake. Big thanks to Tom for building EXACTLY what I was asking him to make. This is only for my personal edumakashional purposes cause I want to see what it'll do. Not much to say on it. Just took a few pics and am posting before running out for class. Inlet pic is bad...sorry but I couldn't get a better one.
I will be taking my 19" wheels off for the RX7 ones Chike originally had on it. The stock resonator will be installed for stock air box dyno comparison to this one. I have to run out and get some rubber hoses and such. Practice changing the intakes a couple of times to minimize the time on dyno before actually doing it. I'm still wondering how I'll handle the intake to throttle body connection. I have a piece I will try that I originally cut up a stock airbox from. That's all for now. Will report in days/weeks to come. Oh yeah..I am extremely happy at the moment. This is the first of three pieces to a BS puzzle I have in my head. I will explain later but I am dreaming. I

I imagine this is for some sort of forced induction setup?
Seems like it would be to me... I'm interested in what you find. I was thinking of something like this for myself. I am a decent welder and I have the things I need so... who knows. Good luck with the results.

Well, the whole original thing was, he wants to see if there' ANY gains to be had from an aftermarket intake, as he's had dyno-proven sucess with even cheap intakes on his (..Um, legacy? Imprezza? Can't remember) Most people on this board dont see such a thing as necicarry for the stock car(Me included), and money is better spent on something else.
Trick is, Chike modified his car with a few things before kevin bought it, most notable of them being a custom cam. So my guess, is possibly this intake will see some relavant benifits on a mildly modified car...and now that you mention forced induction, Im sure it cant hurt for those pourposes as well. Needless to say, Im intrested in the dyno results, seeing as my plans for my ebony are similar to what chike has already done (And kevin is improving)

Silicone couplers are on their way... Sorry for the hold up. These will allow you to mount it to the throttle body as well as the MAF.... you are just gonna need some clamps

Lol! It felt slower with them on if that meant anything. I took them off earlier. I did dyno with them on and lost.....I thought around 15whp?. The dyno was at a new location with new owner so it doesn't count. Same dyno though. The RX7s are on now. Hrrm...I never did post that plot up. Stupid paper copy. I go look for it now.

15whp is quite a loss. The reason I am asking is because when I moved up on rim size I noticed the car felt a little "weightier".
