TRD Intake ! CAI ?!

[oso_25]

There has already been a few ppl that have dyno this intake and its got more than 2.5 whp with a stock car with a closed hood.

MODS: THIS is why it is a bad idea to shove my post into the middle of a 300 response thread. Bad info is left to spread around due to the poor organization methods you are using.

See post 195 in this thread for my gains. They were in the 7-8hp range, and I did got my results via a PROPER repeatable procedure.

There is now plenty of "go" right off the line once the throttle is pressed, even more so than when I had my greddy. For me, it's the additional torque that makes everything worth, as It makes the car feel immensely better as a daily driver in stop and go traffic

Thank you for posting this sir. I am ordering mine now

@Thorpedo's numbers are better validated by his controlled/consistent test method. But I'm not chasing hp numbers. Just liked the design, bought into it, and got more than I bargained for. I mash the pedal a tad deeper now because I'm addicted to the sound/instant punch like that of a larger displacement engine... likely ruining my mpg but I don't care.

I love this intake! It rocks! Instant throttle response! I am just waiting for my tuner to review my datalogs so he can tune the car with this intake.

Did I say that it also smooths out the idle and that I makes a wicked sound at redline?

The install was pretty easy! The instructions that come with the kit are very good and precise!

I painted the ugly clips a flat black with primer base and then a few coats of oil rubbed bronze metallic. It came out pimp. I will upload some pics of it later.

Well ,I do care if it makes 2.5 or 10.

This was my procedure.

-Unhook neg terminal
-Install TRD intake
-Hook neg cable back up, run for 5-10 minutes
-Do 3 more runs

This way I believe to be the best, as it makes it so I am comparing apples to apples. My car has around 3500km on it, and it has the TRD exhaust as well.

First 3 runs are as follows:
1. 162.9hp - 133.52tq
2. 166.05hp - 136.51tq
3. 167.95hp - 136.73tq

After the TRD intake was installed (within an hour, so similar temp etc)
1. 174.39hp - 143.59tq
2. 175.6hp - 144.2tq
3. 170.02hp - 141.16tq - Something was up on this last run as I felt the car shift a bit on the dyno. I was satisfied with the figures so we just took it off.

Shitty pic of the graph, but as you can (kind of) see, it was a pretty even increase throughout the rev range with a decent peak at 4500.

(Will be posting pic, vid of gauges shortly)


The Red box is around the runs done with the TRD intake.


I see he his banned, but in closing I'd like to send out a big GFY to FR-S Matt!

So it's not comparable either. Some ppl in this thread should better read before having almost an orgasm because of this intake.

Not comparable? this makes no sense. Oh and grats on your first post

Thanks - have been already reading here for the past few months, and now that my GT86 has arrived I'm also going to write - so beware.

The dyno I've quoted has been made in combination with the TRD exhaust (as I've marked in red). Hell knows how this modification affects performance gains.

So, I'm guessing this is without a tune? Many tuners have commented that new intakes just trick the maf, and as a result will get higher numbers, but won't have as much of an effect with a tuned vehicle.

Sure ya do, he had the same exhaust before and after the airbox addition. If the exhaust made a difference, that is cancelled out since it should be the same amount of difference for both runs.

Well, I think the exhaust will also help with the efficiency of the TRD CAI. So maybe the gains aren't that high with the stock exhaust. We don't know. As long as nobody is going to post a dyno with a stock FT86 as baseline and another one with the TRD CAI, the gains are not confirmed.

[Mars2]

The first mode is where you see the most gain then each time you add something you see less.

For exemple if you put first exhaust you might see an extra 10 whp but then Intake in second will only show an extra 5whp where as if you put first inatke you might see an extra 10 whp and then exhaust will add an extra 5 whp only.

Mod's don't add.

So I think it's quite nice to see a 7 whp extra knowing he already had a catback before.

You're right, that may cause a slight variation. If you had some common sense however you would know that the affect would be minimal. You're splitting hairs. WhaT ABouT The ChAnGe In Air TemP BetWeEn thE Two RUnS???11?!?! Yes it is only a fraction of a degree, but that may cause a variation in results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
