intake systems
 

Looking into intake systems, any recommendations?

I was looking at this one

any thoughts?

And while you're at it, use google, put in "Site:ft86club.com intake" and use your mind brain to search the countless topics already made.

If you don't find an answer to your question, put it into the appropriate subforum, such as this one

Just FYI for OP. The "S" of the "Site" above needs to be lower case "s" for it to work. It's supposed to be "site:ft86club.com intake".

I have airaid.
it's got great reviews all over, its inexpensive and easy to install.
you can purchase it on carID

intakes for our cars are really just for looks


but if you want to go that route
the Grimmspeed Intake is probably my favoirte
Mishimoto is another intake

but for the most part, just buy a drop in filter and call it a day

I agree with WhiteFRS69 ....... just drop in a free-er flowing filter (like K&N) and call it good .....:)

thanks for the tip

I ran a drop in K&N filter at first. Seemed a noticeable difference just from that. Switched to an Injen intake and honestly its not much of a difference from the drop in.

No filter gives the most gains. Doesn't get any free-er flowing than that

I currently have the GReddy Intake, looks factory, but it's really a fancy airbox if you don't tune it. I would agree with a K&N drop in filter. If you have the money, an intake system to me just adds cool noises :)

:search:

In all seriousness you'll find that drop in with new intake tube is the best bet for intakes on the 86 platform.

Seems like an intake would not be very beneficial. The more air volume that enters the intake more fuel will be needed. Pressurized cooler denser air would be noticeable rather than more volume of air entering.Would be interesting just for someone to make a device to increase air pressure without using a turbo or SC.

I even found a blue one for you.

Stock air box is fine! Just add a K&N filter

jokes aside, unless u just don't like stock intake noise.

The intake tube alone will be good enough,u can feel it alone changes the throttle response @ high RPM.

Hint : At a recient dyno day the guys with max hp naturally aspirated on petrol and E85 had stock intake (drop in filter and modded snorkel only) and stock catbacks ( rest of exhaust forward of catback changed)

Intakes and catbacks are for looks and sound very little hp in either

Yeah I have the TRD intake and did nothing really, it does look nice under the hood :)

+1 their is nothing wrong with looks and sound if thats what your after :-)

TRD intake sounds great and I felt better throttle response when stabbing the accelerator for downshift/rev match.

Told ya'll so....

Unfortunately I put my Takeda intake & light pulleys on at the same time so couldn't tell which one made most of the difference, it was noticeable :drool:

I chose the Takeda after watching some comparative videos on YouTube.

They compare quite a few others as well.

Here is another one for the S2000

I have the TRD intake, so far I have been satisfied with the purchase.
You see them listen in the classifieds section from time to time too, easy to get one a little cheaper there.
