If there were any substantial gains to be had from an aftermarket intake there would be 20 of them on the market. Maybe with different cams and a higher torque peak but not as she sits.

srscion decided to bump it

Velox tried something that didn't quite work out. They put a lot of time and money into it. I give them credit but it appears that there aren't too many improvements to be made on the top side of the fa20.

With the utmost respect to Velox and FT86SF we don't want to hijack this thread.

We're crossing the Pacific in a few weeks to make sure we actually have something. Prototypes have been in development for a few months now with an unnamed tuning shop

Please don't clutter this thread, we'll create one if/when we feel we have something worth talking about

Like everything else from ACE, it'll probably take longer then we expect...

Like everything else from ACE, I'll be on the waitlist. Velox/ft86sf will get my business for aero.

I'm seriously working on something. I while it would help to have the engine if there is any engineering data available for the surrounding sheet metal of the engine bay or even the air box that would be helpful. I apologize if I disrupted anything in this discussion.

Thanks,

I went a different direction and did a motor swap. A Toyota 2AZ-FE. (Scion tC motor)
