Cold Air Intake 4 Mk3

supra90turbo · 07-07-2006, 06:54 PM

thank you suprasaver!
It's not that hard, though. All it takes is a cardboard template, some tin snips (not really recommended, as they leave rough edges and are a little hard to work with, but they worked)
Other than that, some good weatherstripping from the junkyard, a bit of time, patience, oh and careful hands.

not dissing you, and dont take the reply the wrong way

im kinda thinkin it workd for your subaru beacuse your engine bay doesnt looks as cramped as the supra, maybe thats why the hot air from the engine or other parts has enough time to cool down before it hits your shield,

not dissing but that a good job that works for your subaru, functional and looks good

if i do the same thing with the supra, one of the ends is gonna hit the radiator thats why i was hesitant to use any metal, cuz i was sure that it was jus gonna conduct heat, and dont for get that theres only a few inches of clearance from the intake and the engine, and the intake from the radiator

thats why next thing im gonna do is to move the filter jus behind to fog lights

it'll work the same.
There's plenty of room in the corner to do that. It may take some thinking, and creative fabrication, but it'll work.

It has nothing to do with the "hot air cooling down before it hits the filter"
The heat shield redirects hot air away from the filter area.
The shield, and get this, actually shields the filter from heat!

Trust me, it works.

It works a thousand times better than putting your air filter above the manifold and next to the fan, where it gets 195* air fanned onto it.

nicely said... my idea was something like that but it was just tossed to the side... i mean what do i know, im just a kid...

Dont worry, im a kid too. But If you want the end-all for cold air intakes, It doesnt matter what metal/material its made out of, As long as your getting ambient(outside) air and not hot air from the radiator/exhaust/motor thats burning lots of gasoline and air to make power. And that heatsheild on the subaru does a good job of that, It stops the flow of hot air, even if it radiates a little heat in. And on a supra the filter is already in a good spot, I would just say get rid of the wrinkly rubber hose and that muffler thing.

im not bragging or trying to irritate pple,

but this is what i did with my intake, on the right side of the heatshield, its way to close to the radiator, if i use any kind of metal, its jus gonna conduct the heat coming from the rad. and would jus heat up the whole heatshield

My only question is why the hell is your filter so close to the radiator?

GET IT AWAY FROM HEAT PRODUCING SOURCES.

Move it to the far RH corner of the bay, then the heatshield will actually do something.
