looks like he just smoothed it out to improve airflow...i didnt bother smoothing mine out...i just hacked a hole in the box facing the fender and used aluminum sheeting to direct cold air to the opening and sealed the factory opening grabbing hot air from the engine bay...put a polished cover over the top of it so it looked good.

never messed with the plastic ridges in the box...not enough gains to justify the time that would be spent.

remove all the exceeding plastic's ridges , increase the airflow.

[leasaunce]

hahaha nice work, but really it wont increase the airflow. (if so Toyota would have designed it smooth)

[intake]

it increase the airflow, that's sure.
the plastic's ridges are designed to minimize the axpiration sound, but are no good to maximize the airflow.
take them away, buy a pipercross panel filter, change the original tube with a big one and take the air from a cold area (rear the light), isolate the box from the hot engine's head and enjoy the permormance!

[HTM Yaris]

The ridges are designed to trap heavy particles ......like sand . Now you will have sand and small rocks "swirling" in your air box . It WILL eat a hole on your filter and it WILL end up in your engine . Basically , you just created a mini sand blaster .

[staticorex]

^ HA. :)

[Black Yaris]

Why not just cut the whole buttom of the air box to improve air flow why you are at it?

[Nabisco]

I agree.

Is there a resonator box after the filter enclosure or is it just an air-box with some tube going into the fender?

you have to be crazy to believe it.
the ridges do not trap anithyngs.
sand is not a bullet.
open your air box , look inside and give me your feedback

because i dont like the axp sound, my car have to be as silenced as possible, i like to hear the piston going up and down:biggrin:

if you hear the pistons going up and down on your car there is something very wrong

[YarisTom73]

:bellyroll: Like a Briggs n Stratton 2 cycle?! :laughabove:

[Nabisco]

He wants it quiet that is understandable. I like the air-box mod.
A friend of mine did something similar to his 10th Anniversary RX7. It is simple and effective with a K&N drop-in filter.

If you noticed anything due to you smoothining out the innner box, id be the first one to insert my foot in my mouth. There is no way that did anything, seriously, your better off leaving it alone. What he said is true, the ridges help trap pieces of sand and dirt that get in there. Without the ridges the whole internal cyclone going on pulls the dirt up into the air filter, whether it breaks through after a while or not I dont know, but I can gurantee you it will get wedged into the filter. Remove the silencer, add a k&n, and there you go.......

[intake]

i clean my filter every 7000 km, i cant see so much dirt or sand in it.
I feel my car is a little more progressive and fluid, that's all.

[Black Yaris]

I just read your signature.... Why are you running such thick oil in your car? your are ribbing your car of HP, gas mileage and throttle responce, seems silly...... and how much HP does the TRD logo add? and what else is TRD to merit the logo?

[intake]

royal purple is an high performance full synth motor oil, 10/40 is ok for Italian summer.
i put every trd logos i want on my fucking car

Fine hinder your HP and MPG..... it is your car waste your $ the way you want
thicker oil FTL:thumbdown:

damn ricers... i just do not undersand:iono:

[staticorex]

I see no problem with the sticker. If you want one why not? But cosign on the oil wtf?

[intake]

so you say 10/40 is too much for my car?
what's the best oil ?

not so much, it's summertime , and temp are very hot.
10/40 give me extra protection, i will have this car for long time, zx1 give me extra slide, magnetic oil filter give me extra clean.
At the end of the summer oil become a 5/30 because of the use

[thatboyjer]

Why does everyone seem to jump on each other's backs like fucking phirranas. So the guy shaved off some shit and he thought he'd share it. He didn't boast about it from what i can tell, he just wanted to talk about it. Yea tough criticism is expected whenever you post something like this but seriously, i think he just wanted to share something and not be attacked.

we're a community not a fucking lynch mob. if i wanted to be an elitist snob i'd have joined a community for a car worth more than 12000

:thumbdown:

and look instead of fighting back he's still asking for ya'll opinions on what the best oil would be.

[intake]

i wanna be free , i wonna be freack

[blueskana]

You know what, that is rediculous. I wonder how many people new to this car and the board don't/won't post cause of sh*t like this... and from a Moderator no less! Ironically this is coming from someone who ran twin tips on a stock-motor yaris... well, thats just as "ricer" as hell... aren't you supposed to be the "Anti-Rice" ??????????? Throwing out all that noob-hating BS, jumping on folks for STICKERS? WTF dude. I don't know you personally, but on those accounts your a chode.

Phirranas? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smilies/animated/no.gif

If you wanted to be an elitist snob? Can you afford to be? Check out the "elitist snob" forums, then realize everyone online is elitist. We are on this forum because we have opinions, some of them strong, and most not willing to give in on them...

Good for him, he has thick skin, enough intelligence to realize that he has to dig for his answers, didn't realize he was being belittled, doesn't catch the language differences, or just don't give a fuck...

He put out the effort, we all recognize that, but some of us realize that the effort amounts to nothing, except maybe more noise and .1 hp...

i think most everyone realizes that the effort, even if you supported what he did, doesn't amount to a drastic change in preformance.

What i'm getting at is it still doesn't change the fact that others took this as an opportunity to dish out some pretty cheap shots. I mean we could argue all day and night about negativity and label it all as difference of opinion or we could just lay off the testosterone and put input where input is needed, and cut the bullshit outta it.

you should know what i meant about the phiranna comment anyways jdium, as i recall not alot of people took too kindly on your opinions in the jc whitney car topic. You later apologized though, or at least i think.

Yea, it's not a drastic change, and some people took that chance to throw rocks at glass walls. But if someone can't realize that everyone/everything on the internet is basically a hand full of poo with corn in it, then they shouldn't be online. This guy did a good job of sorting out the corn.

Testosterone has nothing to do with this, information is everything. He is being caught up on the facts the hard way. The PARANHA comment was a jab about the spelling, sorry I didn't make the sarcasm clear. (Is it sarcasm if you make it clear?) I don't really care about the comments after my JC Whitney post. I did apologize, because I felt I had offended some people with racial comments, which I did not intend too. If people didn't appreciate the humor, funk them...

lol you guys are crazy,
On the otherhand
I think if he ripped out the filter pad on the top of the intake box and just disconected the intake tube that connects to the box, he would of gained the same.
Cause with taking off that tube that connects to the Air box, you gain more air flow cause it seems a bit more restrictive.

[BrazdonW]

General hippie statement: love not war my babies ;)

[caveatipse]

Wouldn't changing the amount of air that enters the combustion chamber, or at lesat how freely that air is obtained, change the fule/air mixture, and thus necessitate a change in the timing? I know this is all computerized, but would this not put undue strain on the timing system? Just asking.

[thatboyjer]

you know, i was thinking that exact thing. but i got caught up in the other part we were talking about on this topic haha.

and yes the sarcasm flew over my head. thank you for telling me how to spell piranha the world is a better place now. lol jk jk :thumbsup:

[churp]

Damn.....heck of a lot of stale stinking air flowing in this thread! How can so many people rag on a guy for theoretically improving his airflow. Might not be cost efficient.....but it sure beats blowing money on tinting tail lights and adding white walls!!!

i'd just taked it off, and now i take air rear the left light with a big direct tube, it's more fresh and it's supposed to gain performances,
