Airbox / intake for OEM location? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

empower-auto · 03-30-2016, 12:02 PM

Hey guys, are there any aftermarket intakes out that have the filter location or an airbox that goes right on / close to that of the factory airbox location?

I'm running an HKS V2 Supercharger and the piping leads right up to the OEM airbox location so I do not need new piping or a complete system from the throttle body like in most kits.

There's also likely no room for TRD / Weapon R style boxes because of the supercharger/piping.

TRD intake maybe?

ARC maybe? That would be very nice looking.

Blitz has several intakes that reuse the stock piping.
I just installed the SUS Core intake kit on my car last night. There's three other variants w/ different filter designs.

Depending on the HKS piping, you could possibly just use a different coupler and match up to the Blitz kit.

Also, you could use only the universal adaptor assembly + the filter element depending on your piping diameter:

Just use stock airbox then if it fits your SC kit, simply throw in aftermarket air filter (K&N/TRD/Cossworth/many others, most of them are improvement over stock) to get most of aftermarket intakes gains. There are many other areas saved money can be spent on.

Yeah I have covered most of those areas. I'm just looking to optimize intake temps now. The ARC box is pretty, but not the best -- so money saved isn't exactly how I roll because it will be nice office decoration now

There is nothing wrong with the stock box.

Heat? It's plastic.
Flow? Get a filter.

I wonder if those $250 snorkel replacements are at all worth it.

Before & after dyno runs? Or "butt dyno " only?
