Make your own. It will be way cheaper.

 

Hey bro am I able just to connect the filter to the turbo or do I have to fab the pipe and what do I do about the sensor if I do make my own?

 

^ x2 make your own. thats what i did.

 

I don't even know how to do that, and how is that capable?

 

If you can't fab a intake for your car, you don't belong near a Supra.

 

all it is is a pipe 2 couplers and a air filter. there really is no cold air intake for our cars. and im assuming you n/a. cause turbos go threw 1300 degree turbo so its pretty much useless.

 

you never stated what model, turbo or na. For turbo there's cooleeze intake, but I've heard they went out of business, but it's it's for a na mk3, just go to autozone and buy those 29.99 intake for the hondas and acura and fitted in yourself.

 

how do you make one? i know im new.

 

start off with a 3 inch pipe and cut how long you want it to be. You might need to take it to a shop to have it bend a little depanding on how you want it to look. It'll be a little hard if you don't have a pipe binder machine. Cheap way out, run to your nearest Autozone or Kragen and pick up a short ram intake for a honda or acura.

 

o stock is a cold air since it draws air from under the pass headlight. easiest mod out there. lol

 

holy crap!

For everyone else that gave an answer that was not this. Read that post x1000 times until it sinks in. OEM the 7m intake on both N/A AND turbo is CAI!!!

 

i bought a cold air intake for a sentra and that fit perfectly.. il see if i can get picture up0)

 

what year and motor sentra was it.

 

if you want a cold air intake, drive the car when it's cold

 

durrrr:dark:

 

go here to get the adaptor for 40-50 bucks + shipping na/turbo.

then go here to get the filter 10 bucks or local Autozone for 20.

then go to home depot to get the 3"-3.5" coupler.....about 5 bucks.

Put them together.....

DONE.

for pipes, go to metal shop and get 3" aluminum pipes.
cut them yourself to length. If you have to bend them, you can get some caps, fill it with water and freeze the pipe. take it to any muffler shop and have them bend for you. The ice will keep the pipe from cringing at the fold. It doesn't matter if they have a mandrel bender or not.
Get more rubber coupler, put them together and you're done.

I haven't done the pipe myself yet. but I've seen it done before.

Take it for what it's worth.

 

About once a month there is a thread like this. Someone should do a write up of most commonly asked questions and post it in this forum since noone looks at the FAQ lol.

 

I made mine for like $10-20.. piece of pipe, 1-2 couplers (mine took 2 cause i had the elbow separate from straight pipe), filter adapter, and cone filter of your choice (K&N for me)..

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but the oem intake is a fresh air intake, and not a true cold air. IIUC, a true cold air intake system prevents the engine operating temps from effecting the intake temps until the air reaches the throttle body. The intake filter systems that replace the oem air box while they flow more air, they are also flowing heated engine air. This heated air is often why the performance gains claimed by the manufacturer are rarely seen when the system is enclosed in the car. IME(not w/a Supra), there is a seat of the pants performance difference between the two systems, since the air remains at outside ambient temperatures. The one test I did w/the set-up I have in my truck there was a 40* drop in intake temps before and after the modification.

 

a cold air intake is just that cold air going into the intake. which is basically getting filtered air outside of the engine bay so its colder.

stock is cold air and all of the aftermarkets are not. these are not hindas where you get maybe 15hp with cai and exhaust to maximize your hp on a 1.8L engine.

turbo with preventive maintenance or a built engine with a bigger turbo will get you farther. f the n/a and save for a decent turbo.

 

On a turbo car it doesn't matter.

 

um try again, colder air coming into the turbo will mean the air heats up less when it hits the turbo, then gets cooled down from the intercooler, thus lower intake temps and thus more power.

and to the OP, there is one out there on the "other" site, I can't recommend it however because it was never dyno proven power, until I would see a graph of that I would say make your own or get an intake with the air blocked coming off of the radiator.

<l><l>

 

buy a turbo car and put an evaporator core in front of the intercooler. fab up some AC lines, find a larger than stock evap core and route it in front of ur intercooler. if u wanna get really fancy then find a way to connect an electric motor to ur compressor and wire in an on/off switch. that way u dont have any parasitic drag on the motor. just be sure u dont have any refrigerant leaks cause if that gets sucked into ur motor, then u'll be spittin mustard gas outa ur tail pipe. and i dont think mustard gas is good for emissions tests.

 

^^^^^wut?

<l><l>

 

put ur evap core in front of ur intercooler to keep a constant 35 degrees flowin throw the fins of the intercooler. also, when u burn r134a refrigerant its chemical make-up changes into mustard gas.

 

Just wrap the entire indution system in liquid nitrogen. That should make it cold enough to crack.

 

Quoted for randomness. lol

I had to make a CAI once because when I bought the car it didn't have an air cleaner at all lol.

 

honestly this questions like this are why i don't get involved in answering questions in the technical forums anymore because peoples lack of investigation and lack of common sense is so frustrating.

1) if you have an NA put a turbo on it or swap a turbo into the car
2) if you dont want to swap a turbo because your too cheap go to 3 if you dont want to swap a turbo engine in because you dont care about the additional performance go to 4
3) sell the supra and buy a civic
4) dont do any engine mods unless your prepared to do cams intake exhaust headers pulleys short shifter and some weight mods other wise you wont notice any performance gain.
5) the end

sorry to be an @$$ but honestly guys you've gotta pay to play

 

i heard you can modify ebay intakes meant for civics to fit on our cars.
