The Intake Thread

PCH · 09-05-2009, 01:51 PM

If you are looking for just a aftermarket filter (like K&N) that drops intothe stock air box- that will not make much difference. Complete new intake system will change how the engine sounds and may add one or two HP. The drop in gas mileage will only happen if you change the way you work the gas pedal. Hearing the engine and trying to feel the added power will make you want you to step on gas harder than you normally would.

Okay, so I've read this whole thread and I can see that I am not alone in the MPG going down when installing an intake...whether it be from getting in the pedal or just plain fact of nature. Anyway, I can also assume from what people are saying is that when an intake is combined with exhaust then MPG should rise, yes/no??

So, logically then when adding an intake MPG go down roughly 4+ MPG (this is a guess from a previous person's experience, not my own...so far). Then when adding a nice cat-back exhaust MPG's go back up 4+ MPG....yeah?

The reason I am asking (and beating the crap outta this dead horse) is because I too recently installed an exhaust and reset the computer....well, I burned through a 1/4 tank of gas in no time at all. So I am wondering if MPG's would go back up with the installation of said exhaust?

has anybody tried the Simota SrI?

I rock a Ebay intake with a couple O'reillys build-a-intake pieces to make the filter sit right in the middle of the spot where the foglight would be if I had some.lol It works great & sound good and only cost like $55 bucks.

i just got a fujita SRI

xpoisonfreex · 11-03-2009, 06:08 PM

hey i bought my 05 used and the guy who owned it before me put on a short ram injen intake. i was thinking about changing to a cold air intake, like probably the fujita one. would there much of a horse powere difference? in your guys's opinion would it be worth the $

crxgames · 11-03-2009, 08:06 PM

Not really. I would keep it. Either way there isn't too much of a gain with a sri or cai on our cars :/. Plus people have less hydrolocking issues with the ram air

TRD is supposed to be carb legal

PCH · 11-08-2009, 11:06 PM

TRD CAI is only legal on 04-05.

The 2006 / 2006.5 model added a carbon filter element to the OEM airbox. It's a thin white filter riveted to the top of the OEM air box. No manufacturers made an intake with this added feature to their product so nothing is CARB approved for these model years.

I bought a Bomz one off of eBay and then added a APC filter.

idwin · 11-11-2009, 03:53 PM

Link? cost?

poru_no_hako_desu · 01-02-2010, 07:52 AM

any feedbacks on the Blitz SUS Power Intake?

... any idea if it'll clear the TRD strut tower bar (non-turbo [red])???
Thanks in advance!

I got some off brand SRI for xmas this year and i was taking a look at it and there is no connector port for the vacuum/crankcase hose. any suggestions? i was thinking about drilling a hole inbetween the MAF and the engine.

Check post #97 in this thread.

xliljoejayb · 01-16-2010, 06:15 PM

i have a billit grill and wanna do the CAI converted to SRI, question is will it still suck up water from a rainy day even though the filter is face down and near the firewall.

Hey guys. Was driving this week in the rain and unfortunately had too much come in from my CAI and my engine just stop. I am still waiting for the final say but I think it when into Hydro lock. Do any of you guys know a reliable engine rebuild place or do you think I should get a use engine in place. Let me know if you know a good place in south California because is where I am located. Thanks and peace. Beware the water.
