Any Aftermarket Intakes Yet?!?!?!?! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

The secondary filter is mounted permanently into the box on the four corners. I can imagine if you drill out the melt welds it should come right out.

Hyde, your argument against cold air pretty much proves its worth. Free air compared to stock, colder air as little as it is and if its in the fender what are the chances of hydro lock? (Unless you drive past the Home Depot in Burnaby during flood season...) Ive never had a problem with cold air kits but also have never had them make a measurable difference.

TRD just introduced their cold air intake for both liftback and sedan models. part number is PTR03-52070 AND MSRP IS$350.00 US....... IT LOOKS a lot better than the xa/xb setup.

mikeukrainetz · 06-21-2006, 05:18 PM

Sorry but for 350US it better make like 40hp

LIKE THATS EVER POSSIBLE...... LIST PRICE IS 350 LARGE BUT since i get it for cost maybe we'll make a deal...... as for pictures if you can't use dealer daily then u have to wait for it to be on trdusa.com

mikeukrainetz · 06-22-2006, 06:15 PM

A deal is great but 350msrp is steep for a cold air kit. I live on the west end of Canada, considering msrp is 350 + exhange + taxes + shipping thats one expensive kit. I wasnt serious about it needing to make 40hp, just a bit of sarcasm.

there is really no point of having the filter down into the bumper.
you get much more power gain with a highflow intake like the Blitz SUS power along with air/fuel tuning. the air is gonna get just as hot once it gets close to the throttle.

you never notice the most hardcore tuners or even ANY tuners in Japan actually have CAI in their catalogs. Only TRD USA or NISMO USA have CAI to cater to the ricer market in north america. you cant find the same part in the Japanese catalog. cuz everyone there know its useless. a stock airbox with high flow filter actually does a better job.

the closest thing to a CAI from the Japs is probably the racing suction from Blitz, and yet that still doesnt have a the air filter in the bumper.

yeah, most of the real cold air intakes actually take air straight through the front of the car with either a hood scoop or a hole in the front of the bumper/grille

"MOST OF THE REAL" intakes COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT FOR ME.

Do a search for Volant. Look at the one for the Scion xA or xB, its a closer match for how our's would look, except for the front ram part.. that would be hitting the radiator i believe.

Benifit of Volant intakes are, completely sealed larger box sucking air from factory location, using a high flow cone filter. Some models even have an optional Ram Air tube.

For the lazy...

wlfpck · 06-24-2006, 10:56 PM

with an intake. You can expect up to 5 whp. For a small engine such as the yaris, i really expect about 2 whp. It is using the same engine as the xB and the xA. Dynoing my friends xB after a generic short ram intake with a k&N cone filter showed about 1.8 whp gain.

The flywheel replacement will provide much larger gains in hp. For instance, there are the fidanza flywheels that weigh only 8 lbs.

Another method is to use a lightened crankshaft pulley. This reduces the parasitic drag on the crankshaft and allows for improved responses. However, there are underdrive pulleys which underdrive the a/c and the distributor. Which is ok in a sense but for older cars, its not so safe.

Ron · 06-26-2006, 11:50 AM

^ i think/hope you mean underdrive the a/c and ALTERNATOR...not distributor

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 06-26-2006, 12:43 PM

volantis a good example as is ARC.(which ive seen on the tc). www.sciongarage.com all i know is the trd intake for the yaris is totally different from the xa/xb.NONE OF THOSE MESSED UP BENDS AND TWISTS
