cold air intake
 

hey guys can any of u post ur pictures of ur cold air intakes on ur supra turbos plz. ive been wanting 1 but dont know how it will look.

It's not really a could air intake, more like a super expensive cone filter with a mounting bracket that mates to your mass air flow sensor. Dont get the cheezy ones off ebay go here

I never liked how diffrent companys call it a cold air intake, If any thing its actually hotter than your stock intake setup, unless you have a cool block off plate. I made A block off out of a large aluminum canester, painted you would never know where it came from. people are allready saying "o man were did you get that can I get one" lol

no man. lol. a cold air intake. directly bolts on to ur fender. sucks col air in. its pipe that runs down and goes to ur fender. sum do that. and sum are a long metal pipe with a filter at the end right near ur fender. im not talking about a k&n filter. lol. thnx for the help tho.

thats an air vent, or a scoop, that is not what a cold air intake is, you can incorporate that idea with your intake,

but i have never heard of a cold air intake getting bolted to the fender

Its a honda thing ;) Hes talking about something like this.....

yes..something kinda like that

i still dunt know how the hell are you gonna bolt that thing to your fender?

what are you gonna do? cut a hole in your fender to put the intake in?

like i said i have never seen an intake bolted to a fender

I haven't purchased this yet but I need to replace the hose and I would rather not get something used and I don't like the accordian style hoses much anyways so I am probably going to get this.

I'd think he's talking about a cold air intake system... and just confused cause the intake is behind the bumper, off to the side near your fendor? (Turbo first, Non-Turbo second, note the air filter at the end of the intake system.)

I know this is a post from years ago, but its the same concept that I use in my SHOs. The air in the engine bay can get hot negating the effect of having a cold air intake. Since you want cold air and not hot air you want to pull air from the fender. In truth, since the Supra is a turbo-ed car. The air is going to be compressed and ran through a cooler, you wouldnt see a big improvement unless on a naturally aspirated supra. Also reason why I'm on here is I'm getting a supra soon so I'm learning as much about the car as I can. So please criticize me if I'm wrong, I'm new to the car.

This is true and even with a turbo the cooler the air starts out the cooler it will stay. I think the main idea is that cooler air is more dense and therefor contains more oxygen. But I do think there is a big misconception out there that as long as there is a pipe and a big filter it is a cold air intake. But the truth is, if it is sucking hot air from the engine bay it is not doing much good and is not a cai.

you're correct about pulling air from fender, kinda... you wanna pull the air from a closed area, as low as possible. However, too low could suck up water if you drive through a deep puddle/flood. Afterall, hot air rises, the cooler air is down low. You can also wrap the intake pipe as well to keep thermal temperatures from negating the temperature of the air being pulled through the cold air intake. GL w/ your supra... my NA needs a 7mge rebuild atm :\
