Any Aftermarket Intakes Yet?!?!?!?!

[silverRS]

I don't know about anone else but im getting nervous as to the slow production of aftermarket for the Yaris.....mines an 07 but they've been out since 06....anyone hear of any intakes yet???

[punch]

curious what you think you will gain with a CAI?? what maybe 1-2hp??

[mykole]

My Yaris is currently at K&N, I pick it up tomorrow. It's gonna be a short ram that they're developing, I'll give more details when I find out more.

[VitzBoy]

I think a lot of people get CAI simply for the extra sound that it provides :thumbsup:

[punch]

My Yaris is currently at K&N, I pick it up tomorrow. It's gonna be a short ram that they're developing, I'll give more details when I find out more.

ok, may i ask why a short ram, thats hot engine air it's sucking...

[silverRS]

yeah dude....Im not building a drag car, I already have an exhaust system on her and looking to add an intake and headers thats all. Adding a little juice to a sweet car thats all.

[why?]

A well built intake can help free up horsepower that factory plumbing eats up with restrictions meant to silence. I do not know how restrictive the Yaris' intake plumbing is, but odds are you should be able to regain 5 wheel horsepower.

That isn't a lot, but add that to a good exhaust system, lighter wheels, flywheel, etc, and it can add up.

[silverRS]

thats what im talking about!!!!

[Hyde]

i have blitz sus power intake, havnt installed it tho, this one should gain pretty well, i got at least 5-7HP from it on my G.

[silverRS]

G?

[Hyde]

G35

my baseline on that car was 227HP at the wheel, after the mods i got, its rougly 261HP. all i got is sus power intake, 350z intake tube, nismo cams, amuse ecu, fujitsubo y-pipe, straight mid and HKS rear section. the sus power intake alone gained 5-7HP on its own, the 350z tube added another 7.

according to blitz, using the SUS power plus their R-FIT fuel computer tuning, there is a gain of 12HP at the wheel for the NCP91 Vitz.

[punch]

I don't beleive it but again to each there own, i had a turbo charged PT cruiser, the intake was the hot air type the air was then cooled by the intercooler, didn't add much in the way of hp to the car...

I doubt, just an intake will add 5 hp, to a 106hp car, but I could be wrong, i know nothing of this engine or what mods work on it...

also remember don't add up the advertised Hp rating to get your total, they all work together, on the pt the intake, downpipe, stage 1 computer, and 2.5' exhaust added maybe 15-20hp

and finally, afetr looking at the stock intake (breifly) I see no restrictions except a stupid bend, and it sucks hot air also.

[heylookitsjames]

Yeah, from what I can see, the intake looks pretty straight forward and not too restrictive, including the U-pipe thing. The manifolds look like a weak spot and maybe the throttle body itself. Personally, I think a light weight flywheel is going to be my first mod... no need to make the car all loud if it's not going to net anything substantial.

[mikeukrainetz]

Just curious, what do you expect to gain with a flywheel?
I have had the intake apart a couple of times and seems to me its quite restrictive. The stock airbox has a thick paper filter and a secondary filter (or silencer) neither of which look like they flow too well. The leg off of the airbox for drawing air into is only about 1.5" dia inside. I have pulled the leg off of my airbox.

There will never be substantial gains in any one aftermarket part short of NOS or forced induction. As was said, they all work in conjuction with the other. The intake only works to a point where its restricted by the exhaust. Maybe a cam is available already for the xB...

I can imagine replacing the intake, manifold, and complete exhaust may net almost 25hp on the high side. Combine that with a remapped ECU and a cam and you MAY see a lot more than that.

Getting a total of 130-140 hp would make a huge difference.

Buying a CAI alone like you say will net almost nothing but sound.

Personally I think the really weak point Ive noticed is the stock clutch, not so much the HP

[heylookitsjames]

I'm not really expecting any measurable hp gains from a flywheel, but it may free up a few. I do expect it to make the existing power much more lively and accessable. I do agree the the air filter looks like a POS but that can be readily replaced with a TRD filter and the secondary filter in the top of the box looks so coarse it's hard to imagine it actually having any affect at all.
To tell you the truth, I haven't even disected the actual air box yet, but it seemed when i opened it up and looked inside, the air was being drawn from a majority of the surface area of the filter, which is a significant imporvement versus earlier air box deisgns that only drew on an area of the filter the diameter of the tubing projecting into the airbox. But I could be completely wrong as this is mostly speculation.

/just curious, but do you have any idea how to get that prefilter thing out of the box without damaging anything?

[Hyde]

cold air intakes are useless, having the air filter placed in the bumper will suck in more dust and huge chance of hydro lock. plus 2-3 degrees colder isnt gonna make a big difference.

air flow is the key to power.

[chessclubloser]

My Yaris is currently at K&N, I pick it up tomorrow. It's gonna be a short ram that they're developing, I'll give more details when I find out more.

Dude,
Can you post pictures of your intake when you get it back from K&N?? that'd be sweet!!

[why?]

Yes, a lightweight flywheel should help the car accelerate better.

[mikeukrainetz]

The secondary filter is mounted permanently into the box on the four corners. I can imagine if you drill out the melt welds it should come right out.

Hyde, your argument against cold air pretty much proves its worth. Free air compared to stock, colder air as little as it is and if its in the fender what are the chances of hydro lock? (Unless you drive past the Home Depot in Burnaby during flood season...) Ive never had a problem with cold air kits but also have never had them make a measurable difference.

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

TRD just introduced their cold air intake for both liftback and sedan models. part number is PTR03-52070 AND MSRP IS$350.00 US....... IT LOOKS a lot better than the xa/xb setup.

[mikeukrainetz]

Sorry but for 350US it better make like 40hp

got some pics of this kit?

[eight_heads]

yeah, let's see some pics of this setup

[silverRS]

i wa on the jap TRD site and wen I converted yen to Canadian $ the headers for the Vitz come to about $700!!! is that not a little much for one header???

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

Sorry but for 350US it better make like 40hp LIKE THATS EVER POSSIBLE...... LIST PRICE IS 350 LARGE BUT since i get it for cost maybe we'll make a deal...... as for pictures if you can't use dealer daily then u have to wait for it to be on trdusa.com

[mikeukrainetz]

A deal is great but 350msrp is steep for a cold air kit. I live on the west end of Canada, considering msrp is 350 + exhange + taxes + shipping thats one expensive kit. I wasnt serious about it needing to make 40hp, just a bit of sarcasm.

there is really no point of having the filter down into the bumper.
you get much more power gain with a highflow intake like the Blitz SUS power along with air/fuel tuning. the air is gonna get just as hot once it gets close to the throttle.

you never notice the most hardcore tuners or even ANY tuners in Japan actually have CAI in their catalogs. Only TRD USA or NISMO USA have CAI to cater to the ricer market in north america. you cant find the same part in the Japanese catalog. cuz everyone there know its useless. a stock airbox with high flow filter actually does a better job.

the closest thing to a CAI from the Japs is probably the racing suction from Blitz, and yet that still doesnt have a the air filter in the bumper.

[eight_heads]

yeah, most of the real cold air intakes actually take air straight through the front of the car with either a hood scoop or a hole in the front of the bumper/grille

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

[Chris07LB]

Do a search for Volant. Look at the one for the Scion xA or xB, its a closer match for how our's would look, except for the front ram part.. that would be hitting the radiator i believe.

Benifit of Volant intakes are, completely sealed larger box sucking air from factory location, using a high flow cone filter. Some models even have an optional Ram Air tube.

[boxerboy]

[Chris07LB]

For the lazy... :smile:

[wlfpck]

with an intake. You can expect up to 5 whp. For a small engine such as the yaris, i really expect about 2 whp. It is using the same engine as the xB and the xA. Dynoing my friends xB after a generic short ram intake with a k&N cone filter showed about 1.8 whp gain.

The flywheel replacement will provide much larger gains in hp. For instance, there are the fidanza flywheels that weigh only 8 lbs.

Another method is to use a lightened crankshaft pulley. This reduces the parasitic drag on the crankshaft and allows for improved responses. However, there are underdrive pulleys which underdrive the a/c and the distributor. Which is ok in a sense but for older cars, its not so safe.

[Ron]

^ i think/hope you mean underdrive the a/c and ALTERNATOR...not distributor

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

volantis a good example as is ARC.(which ive seen on the tc). www.sciongarage.com all i know is the trd intake for the yaris is totally different from the xa/xb.NONE OF THOSE MESSED UP BENDS AND TWISTS

"MOST OF THE REAL" intakes COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT FOR ME.
well a "ram air" intake which is often refered to as a cold air intake takes hot air from within the engine compartment... an actual cold air intake takes air from an area outside the engine compartment away from the heat either by using some sort of scoop in the hood or bumper or from an area real low such as right behind where foglights would go in the bumper

[Lizardboy]

I thought a ram air intake IS one that takes air from outside? Jackson racing makes a nice one for my Miata. It's a flat filter in a plastic box which has this very narrow in height but wide slot opening which mounts right at gap between the hood and the nose of the car. It supposedly gives increases of up to 14hp.

Your correct LIZARDBOY...

Eight's thinking of the term being tossed around called a Short Ram Air Intake. Popular with some of the Scion guys too. Instead of having an intake (take AEM for example) that has a bunch of twists and bends to get the filter as far from the engine heat as possiable (usually behind fog light area, that zone), a short ram air setup, is just a pipe directly off the TB, with a cone filter.. no heat shield (some have, some don't), plumbed right inside the hot engine bay.
Now tests have shown that once the car is "moving" the air in the engine bay is much cooler (duh!), but when at idle, its just sucking up lots of hot air, which does nothing for performance.

A true Ram Air intake does just that, "rams" (takes) air in from the outside, and duct's it directly into the intakes new box (look at Volant, Airraid, True Flow, etc. just to name a few) or somewhere inside the new intakes heat shield area. Some aftermarket hoods even have runners built into the mold, to connect the scoops or shakers on the hood, to feed the air right into the aftermarket air box! See Keystone, GoodHood, ProGlass, just to name a few. :wink:

[KSIbucky]

They have a really nice cold air intake made by toyota ask your dealer they can help you. My car accelorates a lot faster

Why is it the people posting that know of or have seen them, fail to leave out additional info such as price, heat shield, cone size, tube material, and most of all, PICTURES!?! Give us something for god sake! :rolleyes:

[Lizardboy]

K&N posted a message requesting an 07 Yaris for performance intake development. I emailed them and they replied back, requesting my contact info to add to their database. They will need the car for 5 business days and may offer a rental if over 21. The owner would also get a free intake and the end of development. I'll let everyone know if they end up using my car. I don't know how long development would take though.

once again this is the incorrect name being tossed around loosely... an actual ram air intake takes it through a scoop or gap somewhere...but if you were to look up ram air intake you would get the "short ram intakes" which are really just a short pipe with usually a 45degree bend...

[silverRS]

development shouldn't take that long, those guys have made so many. Do it though......for the cause.....I would if I lived near.

[Lizardboy]

Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to do it if they ask me to as long as they provide a rental.

Yup! Good Job J5! They're not that far from me either! I wonder if that sport exhaust they list is a catback or just a muffler.

Yes, way to go J5! :w00t:
That's a good quality looking intake.

[fnkngrv]

So how much do you think that you would gain in adding this and say the sport TRD exhaust?

ya it probly is an AEM, didnt they do the TRD intakes for the scions? makes sense

[Chris07LB]

Same goes for the new FRAM Boost Intakes.. they are all just re-badged, re-colored AEM intakes. Insturction pages are even the same, except for where they blur out the AEM logo's, lol. :biggrin:

This doesnt make sence. First of all the Yaris doesnt have a points/cap type distributor, nor would you even be able to "under drive" one. There are no PULLEYS on a distributor.

Unless you are confusing the name with something else, or I am completely on the wrong page, you need to enlighten us with a pic of these "under drive distributer pulleys."

[Bryman31]

Great info, but here's my question. With it being a TRD part, does it keep the warranty intact?


i got an email from matt at trdsource.com he said it was sold as is and may affect warranty, BUT my brother in law works for the toyota dealership i got my XB from, he asked the parts dept and they said as long as its a "bolt on" product it will not affect warranty

how much hp added with trd intake

[Lafiro]

how much hp added with trd intake
The guy I go to for service told me, it would only add about 2-3HP, maybe 5hp is your lucky.

Yet remind you, he has not seen it done, not have had it done either.

So lets wait and see for someone to get it, install it, and get back to us!

Oh, he also told me that aslong as its TRD, and aslong as you 'dealer' installs it, you will most likely not alter your warrenty, and they will back it up all the way.

Else as he put it, you will void everything since your are technically modifying the engine to a degree if you get what I mean. Hope that answers some of your questions.

I talked to the toyota dealership today and they told me that they expected to see K&N filters (oil and air) in about 2 months. So I figure that Oct. would be a good time st start looking again.

This is just what i've heard from some random shops. I have a UR pulley on my cb7. As for these that I'm talking about. It was about my friends gsx where some shop said he can underdrive the ac and yeah i'm guessing the timing distributor. There are some cheap ones on ebay that were being sold a couple years ago for the eclipse. I do not have a Yaris so i would be unable to even look at the engine bay.


as for this guy...

what are you smoking and where can I get some?

what am i smoking? Absolutely nothing. If you don't agree with what I say just either 1 prove it wrong. or 2 keep your mouth shut.

LIEK OMG YOUR SO KEWL!!!!!!! YOU FAIL.

dude... i didn't buy crap. Distributor is used to route the voltage in the correct firing order to the spark plugs.

i'm simply stating what a guy told my friend. And i will still stand by that a lightened crank pulley will show noticable gains.

[wlfpck]

ah my mistake. my friend meant underdriving the altenator and the a/c.

my mistake.

but i still still stand by my previous statement that a lightened crank pulley will show good results.

[Chris07LB]

but i still still stand by my previous statement that a lightened crank pulley will show good results.

Knowone said it wouldn't.... its your other comment you were so sure of, that everyone was questioning. :smile:

[wlfpck]

true true. well let me rephrase now that i know what my friend actually meant.

underdriving the altenator is bad for older cars. There i believe thats right.

[mikeukrainetz]

not so much bad for the car as bad for the alt.

[heylookitsjames]

If you underdrive the alternator by putting on a smaller pully at the crank then it will produce less amperage and things like big subwoofers and bright headlights will suffer. A larger, higher amp alternator will cure this problem but will also be harder to spin and probably negate the performance increase found from the underdriving. Underdriving also increases the chance of the waterpump cavititating to the point of failure and decreases the effectiveness of the airconditioning. However, one nice thing about the yaris is that the power steering would be unaffected because it is electric, not hydro...

[mikeukrainetz]

sure miss the good old days, one speaker in the dash, no subs, no HID... always an oversized alt. - dont miss the shitty gas mileage. Underdriving a big block would have little effect, however underdriving the Yaris may have some small benefits provided your not running a couple 12's etc (guess im out)
You have to be seriously underdriving your accessories to have major problems. Someone should post actual HP gains to let everyone know how much it actually improves anything.

idk bout the whole electronics thingy. but just a question though. couldn't you install capacitors? idk if that would work though.

you guys are lucky that you can have subs then. I'm afraid to get any cuz i live in chicago. I was afraid to even get a in dash cd player for my 91 accord. got one though. I was paranoid for like 3 days.

[Drummerdawgmr-s]

i have always been under the impression that trd parts were completely covered under factory warrenty...and about the installationg you could say that another dealer did it.....unless they keep all service records on a computer database that all the dealerships share....then u cant say that....lmao

good point. But what if they ask who did it for conformation?

[yooforeeagh]

hey, im new... looking for piks on an intake install... i tried installing one myself yesterday but only got a "put-put" sound at idle before completely dying. everything was installed correctly so im guessing it might have something to do with the air/fuel mixture and ecu regulations, but im not sure. i noticed the car would stay alive but only after flooring it in neautral. help?

Garm you should add this picture as an emote on MI forums :P

[cali yaris]

GREAT idea.

[cali yaris]

oh now my pic doesn't work. LOL.

it's a smiley on our forums :threadnecro: -- thanks for the tip!

[Betrivent]

LOL Awesome!

been searching and can't find any info as to whether or not there really IS a TRD intake for the 2010-2011

the official catalog lists it as 06-09

[cali yaris]

^ Same thing. All the intakes I sell fit 2007-2011 and very likely 2012 too.

[Captain Slow]

ok, I just know the official TRD catalog doesn't list an intake for 2010-2011

[cali yaris]

That would be 2009-2011.

one reason is because TRD is also made for Japanese, Canadian, European, and Aussie Toyotas.
All of which have different release dates and even release years.

ok back to the topic.

[Captain Slow]

my primary concern with putting a short ram intake on a 1.5L motor is that I will lose some low-end torque in order to gain some high-end horsepower. with that in mind I may just go with a TRD drop-in filter and call it a day.

i'm concerned with driving fun than with numbers, 2-3hp isn't worth it to me if you lose any grunt off the line. i spend most of my time city driving and I like torque for rapid takeoffs.

if anyone with an SRI on this car feels I'm wrong please feel free to correct me, every car responds slightly different to modifications. however as a general rule of thumb I've always lost low-end and gained top-end with an intake.

on my Lancer Ralliart (it was an automatic tranny), I could spin the tires at takeoff with the stock airbox, and with a full CAI....but with the SRI I couldn't. however passing power on the freeway was better as was throttle response.

my thinking is that the length of the stock intake coupled with the freely flowing TRD drop-in filter should net me a tiny increase in throttle response as well as freeway passing ability with only a negligible loss in low-end torque.

again, thoughts/comments welcome.

[Betrivent]

I think you could counteract the loss of low end torque with a lightweight engine pulley

[Captain Slow]

a valid point...

for some reason I keep forgetting there are lightweight pulleys available for this car.

the little motor is fairly torquey for its size and pulls nicely, but it could definitely rev faster. pulleys would help there.
