Intake Pipe Connector Question

907mge · 05-15-2010, 11:05 PM

My answer to the open filter in a hot engine bay. Atleast a start for now. And I don't know why the K&Ns get so much heat because the TRD filter I took out of my Celica seems to be made of the same wire mesh and cotton filter material.

Just because Toyota licenses the TRD name out for a product (no, Toyota doesn't actually make any TRD parts) it doesn't mean it's good for anything.

Boxed like that you're alright. A fully enclosed and insulated box would be even better but that's miles above what most people run and not "open" like i was talking about.

CRE.

You know what, I should apologize as well. I have been working with the retail public for over 30 years. This should be a place we can do some venting and/ or ranting and get away with it. As usual if I had thought my post through it may have sounded different.

Your posts speak for themselves, thanks dude.

I found a elbow and union seals that should work from Auto Zone. That will allow me to keep the rest of the intake original. I finally got to the twisty's in the mountains of NE Georgia today and now the suspension thread search begins.

I still have not found a good intake elbow other than oem. The Pep Boys hose was not the right size. I have been searching and cannot seem to locate anything. I have a NA and most of what I find is for the turbo model.

It is totally my fault CRE is grumpy lately, my bad, and I apologize CRE. Some of the K&N (not mk3 supra) kits come with a heat shield to block off the engine bay from the air filter. I have been wanting to make something for mine that would do that but never got around to it, and there is not much room to do so... I seen on K&N reviews that they do not block as much dirt as they should. I put a pantie hose over mine to keep bugs and excessive junk out of it, and it works good. Same thing as an K&N Outer Ware only $59 cheaper...
