[blacksan]

I am stock, and am wondering if after market makes any real difference?

[YamilR]

I have the AEM so far so good, it has been driven during crazy rain and with a couple of inches of water on pavement. Would not change a thing

[Blenjar]

Fujita..

AEM intake in mine.

Have used it since August 2006 and it has been performing great.
I live in Vancouver where it rains a lot, and I haven't experienced any hydro-lock or problems with water entering the intake.

Performance wise, it provides a nice small kick at the higher RPM around (4000 and above). It works well with the VVTI which also kicks in at higher RPMs.

Installation and Fitment
No real problems as all the parts fit very neatly, and the filter element rests slightly above the foglight assembly.

I feel the same as bigsky2,but I say you can feel the effect from 2500rpm and up.

Ops, sorry!

[turboyaris]

fujita filter... does that count hahaha

[PetersRedYaris]

I opened up my airbox and installed a K&N stock replacement filter. Good gain in HP and sound for $45. :thumbup:

Seat of the pants dyno?

[Black Yaris]

I have the TuRD intake and I am going to be nixing it for the Chinotake as soon as it is out... I am much more impressed with the short ram

Why?

[Black Yaris]

1)the short ram has more proven HP gains 2)they sound hella cool 3) I feel much safer with a filter up higher 4) cosmetics of a pretty blue filter in the engine bay

[mojoyaris]

[sdmf]

f5 love the wrinkled black look and love the sound as i hit wot.

[hasher22]

I wanted a Fujita one, but they only make it for manual trans right? I like the mean sound it produces. I didnt notice any sound diff with my AEM.

allwell

[Doc Zaius]

Stock airbox with the silencer tube removed, and the drop-in TRD filter from Japan. Sounds a lot better, and seems to just pull a whole lot more. Will hopefully be doing a dyno comparison later in the summer.

[Ran Kizama]

Fujita and AEM is same...well same dude that worked at AEM did Fujita...

-- BlenI thought it was one of the Chief Designers at Injen that started Fujita?

Either way, I got the Fujita as well. Has some aggrivations during installation, but with all said and done, I really love it. My girlfriend calls my car the growling bunny. :brokenheart:

[Chris07LB]

Keep the votes comming guys. :smile:

[RShatchback]

Blitz

me too

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

1)the short ram has more proven HP gains 2)they sound hella cool 3) I feel much safer with a filter up higher 4) cosmetics of a pretty blue filter in the engine bay1) his intake might not even make production 2) sound just like the cold air:iono: 3) thats why you have the turd water catcher on there 4)my turd chrome is gonna look better than your pretty blue......



and don't get your thong in a bunch im just bored at work and playin with you....

[AlphaFox]

[Chris07LB]

add chinos intake to the list.. or maybe future chinotake. I know im waiting...

Why whould I add an intake to a poll asking what intake people are running right now???

Damn, I forgot all about the Blitz. Let me see if I can add it.

[Galavoxx]

WeaponR!!! Power is great, sound is great. not yet CARB legal. :frown:

[Chris07LB]

WeaponR!!! Power is great, sound is great. not yet CARB legal. :frown:

Change the filter to any 3" ID filter, and it will be.

[Galavoxx]

What's your basis for saying I'll be ok with 3" ID? The ID on this filter may already be 3" but doesn't the SMOG tech need to see a sticker with CARB serial #? Either way, i have 5 years until my first smog check so I'm not that worried.

[Chris07LB]

Because I believe its their FILTERs that cannot pass the C.A.R.B. :iono:

[Galavoxx]

So if I throw on a CARB legal filter I should be fine. Maybe I'll wait to see what the "chinotake" looks like and just sell my setup for that. Although I would really rather have that TRD knockoff quickshifter at this point. Thanks for the info Chris.

[Imagine]

Rockin the stocker Babbbyyyy! lol I'll probably just end up getting a K&N in for it be done.

[ChinoCharles]

Home made job... the mockup for the famed (and tardy) "Chinotake."

4882

Almost 2,000 miles now without a problem other than a little rattling in reverse caused by the lack of a mount on the mockup. It is a tight fit, but I'll be sure to get it secure before it makes its way onto the market. It is easily the most joyful thing I've done to my car. Now that it is warm outside, I roll my window down and tear through the gears and hearing that little hiss entering each and every gear (yes, even fifth) is awesome. Huge kick in power, smooth power band... couldn't be happier. Can't wait to finish her off.

[eco]

When Chino does finish his,thats what Im going with,so if any is interested in an atleast half priced TRD + shipping,let me know threw PM.

[Chris07LB]

<> BUMP <>

Come on guys, there has got to be more intakes installed. :smile:

[Ogredude]

Hey guys just finished installing the Fujita, it works AWSOME!
kind of a PITA to put in, took 1hour 30min very sweet sound, nice and loud under load, but still soft as stock when your cruisin under 3000rpm
the filter location is just behind / underneath the headlight and above the foglight, its perfect for keeping dry, but also gets the coldest air.

My mirror has the outside temp, and my dashhawk views IAC at the same as outside, compared to +8-10c at stock -very impressive
only problem i found was the VSS (vacuum switching soleniod) is not very secure with the zap strap provided so it RATTLES at idle, an easy fix though to strap in a better place or put some rubber around it.
works with both auto/man trannys, ill have some pics in my garage soon, maybe a video once i get around to it.

[Black Yaris]

There is no wasy AEM is realy leading.... I would bet either Fujita, or TRD are mostly installed

[eTiMaGo]

A little off topic, but this is why a CAI is a bad idea around here, had a nice little bit of rain this morning... :biggrin:

[Violin]

An intake on a snorkel tube might be a better idea for you.

[Chris07LB]

Violin - please PM me your email address, I have a little something I'd like you to review. :smile:

MAnn!!!! was the picture taken in Panama city???? looks about the same
when it rains here :laugh: :laugh:

hahha I guess these tropical countries have a lot in common :biggrin:

It's on a day like that, that you appreciate a full size SUV

[ToTo]

How did your Simota CAI take the harsh rains, any problems at all?

[d4w1]

TRD, includes a bypass valve to prevent water entering your engine. Fit perfectly on my 1.5L engine, no extra mods required. Bypass valve cost over $50.00 if purchased seperately. www.toyotapartsdelivered has the best price within the US. I purchased mine to include shipping for $283.00.

[Chris07LB]

Hummm... where's all the Fujita?

[DollaZo]

when I do get my intake it will be a Fujita

[KS SOLO]

TRD for me, it has the bypass valve which I thinks hurts performance. Would like to take it out. Otherwise I like it and goes with all my TRD parts.

[Chris07LB]

Remove it, and just put a coupler in its place to connect the piping back together.

[blictz]

weapon r no problems here could be a little deeper on the sound thats bout it
