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 · 12-06-2011, 04:42 PM

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

Captain Slow · 12-06-2011, 04:51 PM

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

cali yaris · 12-06-2011, 06:02 PM

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.

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.

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

Captain Slow · 12-07-2011, 07:44 PM

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.
