Anyone try this intake yet?

[Blenjar]

That sound sick!

It looks like any other CAI. They all do the same thing, buy the cheapest one that fits well.

The WR intake looks like the best setup to me since you get the ram effect.

[ChinoCharles]

EDIT: I love WR more than my own mother.

Wait till next weekend and grab mine in the group buy. It is very similar to the WR, but less expensive.

im looking for the cheapest intake me 2 :p

[JustYYaris]

That's a pretty cool video and pretty decent gains. Hey Chino, i've read your hooked up with a dyno shop, are you going to dyno your intake to post numbers with it? I was reading about you doing an intake, sounds really interesting. It'd be nice to support a fellow enthusiast!

[07typeS]

that yaris has to have work done. look how hard it still pulls from 80-110................if an intake does that im in lol....

[largeorangefont]

No, it is just a Dynojet dyno with no load, therefore the car revs faster.

[sf180th]

I have the F5 intake have had it for about 2 months now, I took some video while I was driving, you can hear the intake under load. I will try to figure out how to get the vid on here

oh nevermind i just thought all dynos simulated the weight of car it would normally be pulling.....never researched how a dyno works but i get ya....

do they all do it with no load?

Dynojet is the simpliest and cheapest, and that is why most shops have them. They have a model that simulates load but that one isn't it. Dynojets are that great for tuning for this reason.

Most other dynos have some way of creating a load.

A Dynoget works by calculating the time and force used to get a given weight (roller) up to speed.

Im now waiting on Chinos intake as well..

I was hoping that was the case!!!

I'm updating the intake thread now.

[Vic-2NZFE]

That’s funny man, I though the Yaris 1.5L had 108 HP’s on its stock form
So if you add this intake you are going to be minimizing performance??
Weird :iono:

[ChinoCharles]

Factory HP numbers are rarely spot on. They aren't with this car either.

[Yarismatic]

That type of dyno measures hp to the wheels, unlike the factory that dyno's the engine's hp to the crank. All "wheel" dyno's will have lower numbers than the factory crank based figures.

[ChinoCharles]

Now that I think about it, I guess you're right... 108 sounds pretty close. Assuming a 15% drivetrain loss, that is about 16 HP which would put it at 92 WHP stock, which is about what she is running on the dynos right now.

Any dangers of water from just pure rain getting in the filter behind the bumper at the bottom? Is this type of CAI setup "dangerous" at all due to water from lets say the car ahead of you getting into the filter?

[Dragonacc]

A little water won't hurt the engine. People run water/meth injection all the time. What would hurt the engine is if the entire filter was submerged in water. That could cause hydro-lock which can cause permanent engine damage.

EDIT: You will have to check your filter more often to make sure it doesn't get too dirty.

How about from just washing your car? The only main thing to worry about is not to submerge it in water? I also heard of "dry filters", which won't mess up the MAF sensor, those don't need cleaning, right?

[Chris07LB]

Dry filters are the rage now because of marketing. Yes, they do require special cleaning as well.

A correctly cleaned and re-oiled filter will not harm your MAF or engine. K&N's been in business for over 25 years, just to name one oil backed filter company...

Getting either type of filter wet will not cause an engine to lock up. Its when the filter gets submerged and the engine is running and sucks up a bunch of water.

[eTiMaGo]

well, if you wash your car by driving it into a swimming pool with the engine running, then you'll have a problem :biggrin:

As Dragonacc said, a little water getting in the intake should not be a problem, the filter should be able to stop most of it, then the rest would evaporate with the heat. The hydrolocking problem occurs when your intake sucks up water instead of air.

Imagine you have a straw in your mouth and you are sucking air. when you put the straw a little bit into the water, but you are still able to suck air, the water will not go up much. But once you submerge the hole completely, then water will rise up. Same thing with an engine, if you get liquid water into your cylinders, then you're in deep deep trouble.

Yes, picture a porn star going for the happy finish on a 12" dong... same thing.

how very... visual... :laugh:

108 to the flywheel- we're actually pretty lucky that ninety-something of them make it to the pavement. Drivetrain loss is ususally a bit more on most FWD vehicles. It's even worse on RWD cars.

Yes, on our cars there is very little drivetrain weight to get moving, and electric power steering helps keep losses pretty low.

ooooooooooo that sounds hot.....anymore performance noise to my car and it will wake up the whole damn street....my car is already gettin complaints from the locals.....


then im gonna get it soon....yay for CAI'S!! :)

[Yarismatic]

you have mean neighbors :)
