AEM CAI

[C2AUTOSPL]

GUys, AEM finally released their CAI for your cars. We'll be getting a shipment next week. Only polished available.:thumbup:

[SimmZ]

I assume it's the same CAI for liftback and sedan?

[Katana]

The 1.3lt engine model is supported?

[RossP]

Doubt it

[jmew0ng]

poor katana... always gets left out

[Katana]

Yeah, this damn 2SZ-FE is never supported!

[Snake]

pricing info please
anyone know if injen is releasing one?
i had theirs on my scion just curious

[Katana]

Did you see any difference in your Scion, in its performance?

[C2AUTOSPL]

PLease PM me for pricing :)

[Snake]

Did you see any difference in your Scion, in its performance?

you dont get much performance gains unless you have header and exhaust
on stock your looking at about 2-3 hp at the crank
but the car breaths better, so better mpg on the gas
its worth the install plus gets rid of a lot of crap under the hood

[riceboy]

I've found that CAI's produce more useable gains on a day to day basis over an exhaust or header... If you're only looking at one of the above I would go CAI!

[YamilR]

[C2AUTOSPL]

[bigsky2]

Add a Tanabe exh for more gain :)

Don't tempt me Jay.

[Katana]

Guys did you feel the difference on the road?

[FoEKuZ]

:confused: :frown: :cry:

[FoEKuZ]

:thumbup: hooray, i got mines in the mail today.... :smile:

[C2AUTOSPL]

:thumbup: hooray, i got mines in the mail today.... :smile:

Now you need the Tanabe exhaust:thumbsup: haha

[jmew0ng]

I got mine in the mail too! Quick shipping :)

It has a nice rumbling sound :x
I hope there are more different kinds of exhausts coming out... maybe something that doesn't look so large :x

[eTiMaGo]

Could anyone take a pic of this CAI installed? It looks quite long in the product pics, I am curious as to how it fits.

[ItsMyDaily]

I want mine in blue! :)

mines installed....sounds great too

[eTiMaGo]

wow, goes in pretty deep!

[riceboy]

exact same as the trd sans bypass.... wonder how much it would cost to add one...

[bigsky2]

Yeah it goes in very deep.
Sorry I haven't had time to take pics of mine, it's polished if anyone cares. The cone filter sits directly above the fog light and under the main headlight housing. It's protected by the rear splash guard so it won't receive too much moisture.

The bypass valve is purchased separately from AEM, but I am guessing you can possibly buy a generic or custom made one.

[FoEKuZ]

wow, goes in pretty deep!

thats what she said...:smoking:

[ItsMyDaily]

let me know when you guys have the blue ones in stock C2

[eTiMaGo]

thats what she said...:smoking:

:bellyroll:

[jmew0ng]

I don't understand how a bypass works :x... I always thought the intake needs to be a 2 piece to put on a bypass?

[Wayside]

To install a bypass you must cut the intake.

A bypass will also impede the air flow which will reduce noticeable gains.

[wlfpck]

that looks nice. Are they gonna release a short ram anytime soon?

[bigsky2]

To install a bypass you must cut the intake.

A bypass will also impede the air flow which will reduce noticeable gains.

Agreed.

And the bypass is not really necessary since the location of the filter/cone is well protected from any contact with water.

[C2AUTOSPL]

BLUE, RED, SILVER, POLISH NOW AVAILABLE!!!!

Order now from our website.

[bigsky2]

Wish they made a black one :)

I'm happy with Polished.

[Violin]

Hey C2AUTOSPL - When I try to order through your website, I don't get a color option.

[ItsMyDaily]

Hey C2AUTOSPL - When I try to order through your website, I don't get a color option.

same here:iono:

[bigsky2]

Just order one, and when you pay via Paypal leave him a note.

[Violin]

What size AEM bypass valve goes with this setup?

I really can't see how the valve would effect performance.

[Violin]

Nevermind...

I just got off the phone with AEM. They don't have a bypass available for the Yaris yet. There may be no space for one but they haven't completed their testing.

I was looking at the shielding underneath. You'd have to drive through one hell of a puddle to submerge the intake anywho. You'd have more problems than engine damage with that amount of water.

[C2AUTOSPL]

I added all colors now in the website, so just pick a color and Buy Now. :)

[Violin]

Yep. Saw that and placed my order this morning.

I hope I can install this weekend.

Hi send you PM for your trackng number:thumbup:

[Violin]

Thanks.

I can't wait!

[bigsky2]

Violin = copy cat

Next thing you'll be getting Konig Heliums and painting your car black :laugh:


yes I know you have Heliums :P

[Violin]

I had my Konigs first.

Next thing I know, you'll be getting a leather OBX shift knob with a mesh insert.

[Katana]

I have a question about the AEM intake.

From where does it get fresh air?I had looked into it and it seems that the front left part of the car is totally sealed!

[ItsMyDaily]

It doesn't directly get fresh air blown onto it. It's more of to keep it away from the engine heat.

[Bryman31]

has anyone answeres the question???? does the aem CAi fit the 4 door

yaris s ???

:iono: :help: :confused:

[C2AUTOSPL]

Yes it'll fit as long as its manual transmision.

[Bryman31]

Yes it'll fit as long as its manual transmision.

only with a manual??? whats the difference??? will they make one to fit the automatic?

[Violin]

Yes it'll fit as long as its manual transmision.

Uh, oh...

Please tell me it fits the automatic liftback.

[eco]

Ive heard that the TRD CAI is a re bagged AEM,so if the TRD fits the 4 door auto,the AEM should fit the auto,and TRD only sells one model for both cars,so it should fit yours Violin.http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n54/ecooce/TRD1.jpg

very clean..........very nice.....love the intake, im getting one!!!!! how much did u pay for your TRD intake for the yaris???

:respekt:

[eco]

http://www.trdsparks.com
They sell it for 299.99,more then the AEM,but it was worth it ,I got mine 3 months ago.

[Chris07LB]

How does everyone like their intake thus far???

Im looking to go with something more like the Simota now.. or if Volant evers makes an offering for the Yaris.

[eco]

I like mine,I notice a good kick 2000rpm and up.That simota looks nice though.

[slvryaris]

Anyone using a CAI on a 4 door auto... i figured the engine was the same so there would be no problems.

[eco]

Thats what I got,4 door Auto.

[OK Yaris]

OK, somebody justify this purchase for me. Just tell me I'll gain a tenth of an mpg with the AEM CAI and I'm all over it. :biggrin:

[Violin]

It will pay for itself over the lifetime of the car.

[riceboy]

i think you definately gain in the mpg department, however its offset because you're tempted to drive the car harder in order to activate the sweet, sweet sound of the intake at the top of the rpm band......

i got 490km's on my last tank... i think it's the worst ever....

[FoEKuZ]

i got 490km's on my last tank... i think it's the worst ever....

im in the same boat...ive been gettin some crappy low 30s mpg....buts thats because ive been driving hard....ive since changed and im back to high 30s....

[Violin]

Got it!

This looks pretty good:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1103/rjenkie/File0001Large-2.jpg

[Violin]

It's a little hard to read but it says peak gain of 5.1 HP at 4,500 rpm and 6.0 ft lbs of torque at 4,500 rpm.

[YamilR]

I have mine installed in cunjunction with a Tanabe Medallion exhaust and can definetly feel a good kick in the power department, even though the engine is a lot more noisier but I like it. I just filled my tank so will let you guys know if any increase in MPG.:burnrubber:

[OK Yaris]

It's a little hard to read but it says peak gain of 5.1 HP at 4,500 rpm and 6.0 ft lbs of torque at 4,500 rpm.


That's a solid improvement. :w00t:

[ItsMyDaily]

It's a little hard to read but it says peak gain of 5.1 HP at 4,500 rpm and 6.0 ft lbs of torque at 4,500 rpm.

nice gains up top indead, but what's really nice is the fact that it seems gains are similar throughout the entire rpm range. Nice improvement in the powerband overall.

[obylium]

Ordering mine later this week.

[bigsky2]

You guys will love the intake.

Those of you with the manual transmission will enjoy the smell of your clutch.

[Katana]

...and the sound of the engine!

It really rocks!

[bigsky2]

...and the sound of the engine!

It really rocks!

Yes I totally forgot about that..

When I first installed it, I was enjoying the sound too much that I completely forgot about it when I was hit with the sweet smell of my clutch when I came to a stop.

[Violin]

It does sound great!

Were the instructions that came with that thing well written or what?

The install took maybe an hour - nice and easy.

[Violin]

There were no directions on the care and feeding of the AEM filter.

What's the drill?

[bigsky2]

There were no directions on the care and feeding of the AEM filter.

What's the drill?

AEM has a very comprehensive section on this here:
http://www.aempower.com/Faqs.aspx?FaqCategoryID=22

How often to clean:http://www.aempower.com/Faqs.aspx?FaqCategoryID=22#80

They suggest purchasing the AEM Filter Cleaning Solution to clean it every 10,000 miles.

Edit: Flter doesn't need any food, don't give it any oil :wink:

[Violin]

Cool - thanks!

At least I only have to pull the wheel to get at my air cleaner every few months. :rolleyes:

[Chris07LB]

Cool - thanks!

At least I only have to pull the wheel to get at my air cleaner every few months. :rolleyes:

[C2AUTOSPL]

VIolin, glad that ou got yours installed :)

Blue and red AEM CAI's in stock.

[Violin]

edit: I see... the message was never sent because I had exceeded my storage limit.

[Bryman31]

Nice find, but all those parts can be had cheaper from our Supporting Vendors on this site. :thumbsup:

[YarisPR]

I sometimes just removed the crappy air filter and run it like that :bellyroll:
I'am looking foward on gettin one so I can smell more my clutch hahaha:burnrubber:

[Chris07LB]

I sometimes just removed the crappy air filter and run it like that :bellyroll:


We would do that anytime we got a rental. :laugh: Only thing we'd smell from those pigs were the ebrake smoke and sounds of netural drops.. :bellyroll:

[pegcityrs]

I just installed a CAI from TRD with the water valve. I paid $ 318.00 from Frasier Toyota in Grand Forks. I live in Canada it took 3 weeks to ship and was installed in half n hour. Looks great, sounds awesome. Notice alot quicker response in 2nd / 3rd gear. 1st gear not that much difference just the groaning noise. Togather with the Borla Exhaust I have makes a nice combo. Gaind 9 - 11 HP hopefully. Here is the final look, Cheers !

[envoy]

Any noticable difference in fuel economy with the AEM CIA? Might buy one from Jay @ C2Auto. Just bought some wheels from him and would recommend him for anyone thinking of Yaris purchases!

Yes - Based upon a couple of tankfuls, it is about 0.5 mpg.

[funkstrong]

Sounds tempting but man, thats alot for a CAI. I realize the Yaris is new and thats why they cost so much, but its a tube with a filter on it.

[Violin]

At an average of $2.50 per gallon, the thing pays for itself in a little over 200,000 miles! :biggrin:

Your basically paying over $200 bux for the pipe, the filter you can buy anywhere... there has to be some company willing to bend a piece of pipe for cheaper :cool:

[Russelt3hPirate]

just be sure you don't screw up MAF sensor placement.

[Katana]

Where is the pic?

I do not want to disappoint you, but the most that a CAI can give is 5-6hp.

[the_saint]

How do you screw up MAF sensor placement?

[Russelt3hPirate]

How do you screw up MAF sensor placement?

by putting it in the wrong place.

if you put it right after a bend it will meter the air differently then before, aka. incorrectly causing the ECU to run either lean or rich.

[the_saint]

oh

[Terrorize]

I'm kinda interested in the Fujita competition intakes.... anyone know anything about them?? Any good?

[bigsky2]

Make your car SCREAM!

HP gain of 5 is pretty optimistic too...
