Cold Air Intake Kit

[1TuffSupra]

Are you being serious?
(Not really sure if you're joking or not)

lol, yes. I personally have never worried myself with changing out the intake on my car, my first mod was to turbo the car. I know that you probably still wont see the logic in it since your riding around in that fire breathing beast, but most oe intake systems, are designed to flow well, but also designed to suppress sound. I havent even looked under the hood of my car for a while since Ive been solely working on the engine on my stand, but im thinking the stock na intake is like most other stock intakes. Besides there really isnt a whole bunch you can do to a NA supra anyway without spending some big money, let'em have some fun :icon_bigg

And yes I was talking about the piping, Im not concrete on how all the carb stuff works. But Im assuming that as long as the part your putting on your car is carb exempt it shouldnt bother the smog nazis. Does the paperwork that you get with carb exempt mods state which model vehicle that its for?

Still wondering why anyone is bothering to do this?

If you've modded your NA to the point it's out flowing the stock AirBox fine but you're not going to get much better in Filtration then the stock Paper element and it flows more than enough.

Or is this just a fashion thing?

My stock airbox was choking my air flow around 5k to redline.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't pulled out the stock box, but it seems like the air inlet is only 5X3.

well the air inlet is restricted to the size of your AFM, your not going to see any real benifits in increasing the size of piping since you will always have that bottleneck on the car. You might see some small gains by going to a conical filter, but they wont be significant.

I already had my exhaust for a year before i upgraded to a fipk, the gains were quite noticable uptop, and overall responce improved.To me the gains were "Significantly noticable", nuthing ground breaking but it did wake the car up.If you havent gotten an exhust first i wouldnt put the filter on i dont think the gains would be as noticable.The stock exhaust is more of restriction that the stock airbox

 

[1TuffSupra]

Have you ever owned or ridden in a turbo car after an upgrade such as an intake or exhaust? The only reason I say that it wouldnt be significant is because on a turbo car, doing a modification like this would result inbetween 10-40 whp instead of just 2-6 whp. Such a small amt in the large scope of things isnt significant in my book.

BUT, I say go for it if you arent interested in going turbo at a later date.

I'd think the NA Flapper door AFM would be the greater restriction here....

Would it be a possiblility to remove that door? Or would that mess it up?

Remove flapper door and replace with MAF.

Is there an advantage of doing this?

You can stick on a 3 inch - 3.5 inch GM MAF and get rid of the bottleneck.....

 

[1TuffSupra]

Or you could buy a Maft pro. I dont know how much the SS piggyback system is, but with the maft pro you can get rid of the AFM altogether and the basic kit starts at 400

Thanks for clearifying, and to answer your question no ive never owned a turbo car and ive only rode in one once(years ago). To be honest ill prolly never get a chance to ride in a turbo car until i turbo my own.

how come the doobage never makes it wasy around me

Don't sweat the turbo, some of the most powerfull cars, in the world, are NA. It's just a matter of engineering; engineering takes time, for us non engineers.

 

[supramacist]

I agree k spec it takes me in days what a real mechanic does in hours..

 

[supramacist]

I might be wrong so,, There is a hose coming from the air intake that goes down and hooks to the power steering pump, Now i'm all about 1 3inch pipe running the gammet. But if there are only a few things that I have learned. ! would be toyota does shit for a reason no matter how large or small. 2. everything comes off alot more easily than it goes on.

Will: There might be some HP to be had going MAFT if you have enough other mods to warrant it. (The NA upgrade path isn't well supported and can get very exe to make good gains ask Allan/Defiant7M)
