Hello every body,
I just register to share this thread currently going on over scionlife.com

Just to put everyone up to speed.
Richard Holdener (Dynatek Perfomance) an well know performance book/article writter has developed a bolt on Intake Manifold for the Scion xD.
In case you don't know the 09 Corolla/Matrix and the Scion xD share the SAME engine.
The prototype unit on his car produced 145 wheel horse power from a base line of 119 whp with his prototype intake + a full exhaust + CAI
He claims that at least 15WHP came from the manifold alone.
Those are huge gains for an engine like ours.
To put it in perspective 145 whp will put a 1.8L Matrix almost side by side with an XrS 2.4L.
Richard has agreed to make one production run of his Mani but he is requesting at least 10 interested people to make it happen.
The estimated price for this first production run will be aroun $700
This is like the best bang for the buck performance wise...
If you are interested please take a look at the scionlife thread I mention as there is all the info and you can post your questions there...
I won't be monitoring this thread very often so please ask in the thread I mention.
I don't have anything to do with the production of this manifold. I'm just trying fish interested people to make this happen.
This Mani will fit the Corolla 2009 1.8L and the Matrix as well as the Scion xD
Also, some more info on performance parts been developed for our engine...
NST (Non Stop tuning) is currently developing a set of underdrive lightweight pulleys for our engine. You can find more info over at scion life on the scion xd section as well.
