The TRD filter size and housing is WAY longer than the '17+ cars too. Plus, there are less bends to the throttle body from the airbox. My car sits on a trailer, so I'll have to measure it sometime this weekend.

Cotton has 15 K&N style has 34 Need dimensions of width, length and height to work out area. Mute point as my 2017 OEM airbox with a K&N filter is not showing up as an restriction, even running a little AVO turvo. It also wasn't showing as a restriction with the OEM paper filter when NA tuned, it did have a Mishimoto intake tube though, more to aid in a clean removal the noise tube than for performance. For what it's worth, the TRD intake looks only slightly smaller than the OEM intake on a R33 GTR, which can flow 500hp all day. And as the TRD intake on the twins is only ever going to flow around 200hp, I would say the size is overkill. Yes there are variables, but in the end if there isn't a restriction, a bigger box or filter is not required. A high flow filter in the OEM airbox is all that is required for unrestricted flow and ease of maintenance, as long as you are comfortable with the less efficient filtration of a high flow filter. Marketing may disagree with me.

Which is no surprise really - to have almost identical maf readings with significantly less airflow resistance, should mean that not only should tuning be a little easier, but the many stock ecu maps looked-up by its built in learning software will naturally make the car more likely to avoid knocks without pulling back too much power, making the tuner changes able to go a little higher. In theory anyway - I'm no master tuner. But yeah its not like the value you get out of headers, which not only can give some really good top end, but have absolutely massive low/mid gains. |

I got one for a good price and it definitely cleans up the look of the engine bay and deletes all the sound tubing. It wouldn't be my first suggestion for mods, but it's one of the few intakes with a good track record and it doesn't void any warranty. |

How is Millers oil a variable for power? I dont see it being a variable. The only thing high quality oils do are retain viscosity, lower oil pressures/temps, and better lubrication so there is no metal on metal action. I don't see how that applies to making more power.

But yeah it shouldn't make a difference, if anything a heavier weight oil would probably decrease HP at least until it got some temperature in it to get a good flowing viscosity. also curious if that was K/N drop in no tune vs TRD w/ tune or both on same tune? Regardless its obviously much larger intake/filter size so it should have the potential to flow more air, whether or not the stock NA engine can utilize that increase in airflow is another question. |

It just changes the AFR. A proper tune can do the same w/o changing the intake box.

Yup just probably allowing the AFR to lean out just a bit... thus more HP up top.
