really? as it looks like you just edited 6 minutes after my post...

YES! extend the blue line to the grey dot though to make it longer. That's what I want. EXCEPT the measurement needs to be taken on your stock intake. I need to know what factory conditions are.

he wants this:

oh wow then like I said before its half of the inner diameter. Inner diameter = 71mm. and half of that as we learned back in the 3rd grade is 35.5mm.....

Are you kidding me??I can tell by looking at it that it isn't centered. This isn't rocket science. Measure the thing. It's not in the middle. On page 9 one of the guys even says it isn't centered. I bet it's about 8mm offset.

^this^^

actually try to measure from the red circle in the middle to the base of the sensor... it would give a more accurate reading

Alright, picked up a caliper today. Here are the pictures of the SARD measurements.

Not perfectly centered. Close, but not perfect.


Inner diameter- interestingly enough, 72.3 mm, not 71.


Outer diameter- 76.42 mm.


As close as I can estimate, MAF center measurement- 38 mm.

Thank-you! Now to find out what the stock is so that we can compare!!

The OEM intake is half the price as the SARD and works better. My choice is clear.

richee you interestingly, posted that the inner diameter on the sard is 72.3mm. haha funny I find that my ebay intake piping is actually 71.3mm so its only 1mm larger. I actually measured the inner diameter on my aluminum piping where it meets the end of a 90 degree bend. So in turn my ebay piping is basically identical to you sard inner diameter.

Your maf sensor is more dead center then my ebay setup. All this talk about turbulence. When you look at the sard air filter itself it looks as if it would cause lots of turbulence just like the mushroom green filter. The Apexi and Fujita cause the least turbulence by design and claims made by the above illustration I posted. I"d like to get my hands on the sard to see air/fuel ratio. Since it's been claimed to make more power over the stock box. I"ll get the measurements tomorrow on the stock maf sensor location.

reckon you want to have an intake collection.

I guess I can add to this thread fo the sake of more information..

this is the ebay intake setup (yeah it's not the greatest but I'm cheap, lol):



Using a ****ty caliper to measure out 73.5mm:



and this is where it sits inside. Sorry can't measure the distance since it sits too far down the piping:



so, yeah...

^ it looks deeper than center from here but hard to tell. I'm comparing it to the grains of the metal pipe on the side. About where the shadows change and the circle turns vertical. Does it work alright? What fuel do you run in her?

For what it's worth, I had a 1MZ Camry Weapon-R intake when I first swapped. It had 3 nipples next to the MAF and that's why I ditched it. I noticed when I got the SARD that low-end power didn't feel as good as before. I measured the Weapon-R a few days ago and it was 71.5 mm. Who knew that .8 mm would cost a noticeable difference?

- ahh the power of fluid mechanics lol
Still waiting on that stock airbox measurement if anyone wants to take the time...

yup yup here it is :



also was shortening the fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel rail and came out with this. Also buying that same line that goes from the fuel filter to the fuel rail from toyodiy is about $180 plus shipping. they are out of their minds. I should have no problems with this setup right?

Who the **** is this guy? And who made him jesus?

so ricochet I've got the measurement for you. Whats the verdict??!

when i can find time to do those calculations I'll let you know.

lol, now ill go home and put the noose in my neck
