As the title says.. The Injen website claims 8 ft-lbs of torque and 7 horsepower gains just by installing their ($250 :eek:) intake. Anyone with experience/insight on this one? Thats approx. 10% gains (again, according to Injen) which I'm sure would be noticeable in our econobox...

Right here..

They don't have Yaris listed under 2008, they just have the FJ. The 2007 option does have the Yaris.

I'm a newbie, but I'm running the Injen Intake in a 2008 Yaris Liftback. Installation was pretty easy. Here are a couple pictures (if I do the insert image right ...). Makes a nice growl when you rev it up. Feels more peppy in the high rev area, but I don't have a dyno so who knows. Looks good too. :)

INJEN does make a very pretty intake, and fairly reasonably priced too for the beautiful product they put out.

Right now I am only selling it for $220, https://www.fluidmotorsports.com/p-146-air-intake.aspx

The fact alone the ability to clean the filter elment is worth while so you dont have to buy replacement filters. It sounds nice and looks great!

so do you stock it onsite? it would be coming from florida instead of the usual california? i would get that in 2 days by ground.

We can have it shipped directly from them.

We havent stocked any of their product yet just because we just started gauging interest on the forums.

Let me know

I'd like confirmation on those gains. If it's true, wouldn't this be the best intake?

I do not think it gives that much hp.I have it and at best I would say 3-4 actual hp.Car does respond quicker and pull a little harder,but not 10% gains.Install sucked as the bumper has to come off to tighten the filter mount,I tried the fender gap trick and it was a to small to get my fat arms in.

Intake does growl very nice.I put it on before the Greddy exhaust and the two together work well.

I've looking at the design of this intake for a while.It's not like other intakes this one seems to cuase a ram effect which is good from wide to narrow.

the air down in the fenders is going to be a lot colder then the air next to the engine. the fenders are blocking direct airflow, but overall the air is cooler.

still no real world dyno results from this intake? I know the injen results are posted but I never like to go by that.

I run that too and it feels like it just bumps it up back to the factory specs of 106hp, maybe a tad higher. But I definately can say it makes for a smooth ride and power especially in 3rd grear. The the fact that I also have a Tanabe axel back exhaust helps out as well.

Hi

Is this Injen intake only for 1,5L engines?
I have an European 1,3L VVT-I engine with stock 87hp. Would it fit that too?

Regards Steven.

It depends on the configuration of youur 1.3 as there are 2 different inatke set ups on the 1.3L


If your OE intake looks the same as the OEM intake of a US spec Yaris... the you can use any of the intakes sold for the US yaris.

Your engine probably looks the same as mine, so it won't fit.
I have yet to find a CAI for the 1.3
Called K&N and they said there not going to make one for the 1.3! :iono:

That looks like a really easy upgradable intake.

You could go ghetto style and just take out the OEM paper filter out of the plastic box in top of the engine and the cut the plastic tube and replace it with an aluminium tube with a quality cone filter at the end...

You probably won't get the nice sound of a regular intake, but at least you could improve the flow a little.

No matter the vehicle. Injen has proven to have great products that truly yield what they claim. Injen is if not the best intake brand out, one of the best!

I have one in black. looks good works good. can't find a cheap dyno day to get real data.
curious to how much dirt there is blowing around down in the fender. but since you have to undo about 16 bumper screws and fasteners to get to it, i'll wait till about 7500 miles from now. while i have the bumper cover off i'll do the fog/driving light install.

i want to save my stock airbox unmolested but have an idea to hack up an airbox [ if i can get another] and make the injen a little bit stealth. just clam shell the factory box over the injen. that way i have some storage under the hood for whatever inside the fake airbox.
