Intake - Toyota Yaris Forums

CAyaris · 02-08-2011, 11:55 AM

So im new to the whole motor work aspect of the yaris i work more witht he fabrication of stuff. My question is about the intake. Will it raise my gas milege. If so what are my options i have heard of Cold air intake, short ram, and than also the huge ones that go in the front grill of the car. What are pros and cons of differnt types, average prices and also where to pick them up. By the way im driving a 2008 yaris sedan

What is this. I see the air filter but what else

^the SRI is a very good product I haven't had any issues thus far, you can get about 15 to 20hp out that and gas you would waste a bit more, but not that much. The install itself can take 5mins or so and the sound is awesome too.

they're great for improving throttle response but isn't 15 to 20 hp very optimistic? I thought you might get that with a concurrent header and exhaust mod?

what intake will be good for gas mileage i know on my ford my full knN intake added gas mileabe

The best intake for fuel economy is stock. If you managed to get better fuel economy with the K'N it was likely because of a change in driving style.

Simple rule the more air you let in the more fuel you will burn.
Now here is the crux of things I doubt any of the CAI will do much for you car 1-3 hp MAYBE so I highly doubt you will see any fuel economy change.

CAyaris · 02-08-2011, 07:11 PM

dang i thought the intake could improve

Somebody please, please, please show me some documented proof of that type of gain. Not a hope in hell. I got 4whp out of mine in back-to-back stock vs intake dynos.

Kaotic Lazagna · 02-08-2011, 07:55 PM

I've gained mpgs with my K&N SRI. Nope, not a change in driving style either as I've been monitoring that long before I got an intake. Also had a SRI on my GTI when I bought it, and when I had to buy a stock intake box for smog, I actually lost mpg with the stock intake.

My friend got a K&N SRI for his Silverado, and he too got better gas mileage.

My other friend with an '09 Si found that he got better gas mileage with his AEM SRI.

The only time that you won't get better gas mileage is if you're smashing on it a lot, which a lot of people tend to do with intakes and/or exhaust work just so that they can hear it. Now, as for hp increases...well, probably not much in a Yaris. lol.

djct_watt · 02-08-2011, 08:08 PM

15-20HP? HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.

This is incorrect.

A drop-in air filter that uses the stock box, but allows increased airflow WILL increase your mileage.

This is incorrect too. The best possible intake will net you 3-5 whp. This is proven on the dyno.

severous01 · 02-08-2011, 10:18 PM

i gained about 3mpg with my intake. however, like mentioned above, more air means more fuel means more power.

but, you dont have to throttle down, you can always add it for economy, not power

CAyaris · 02-09-2011, 12:31 AM

Anyone got any links for some good ones. I want it one for looks and two for the gas mpg's. I am just looking to add a few to mpg if that or add none at all but not loose any. my new set of wheels took 40 miles off my tank. But back to what i said. Links on good airfilters.

frownonfun · 02-09-2011, 12:43 AM

Just get the drop-in air filter and save your money.

CAyaris · 02-09-2011, 12:47 AM

i am not a fan of that big black box though

frownonfun · 02-09-2011, 12:50 AM

i hear ya... but i'm not sure a $300 CAI is worth a few mpg.

which there is debate on whether you will gain any mpgs with a CAI anyway.

CAyaris · 02-09-2011, 12:58 AM

I guess the K&N is addding MPG

Any other mods or tuning to get that 4hp?
