QUOTE(azian_advanced @ Oct 21, 2007 - 7:15 PM) [snapback]607043[/snapback] ^ partially true imo, but i have a slightly different opinion on this. although a smaller pipe will result to more vacuum (or air travelling at higher velocity) and a larger pipe will flow more air per cross-sectional unit but at lesser velocity and lesser vacuum. what makes one pipe better than the other is whichever has the highest mass flow rate (ie. mass per unit time).. not necessarily the pipe that offers the most vacuum will be better.. feel free to correct me if i'm wrong... Even if you were to have a higher mass flow rate, the pistons can only burn and take in air as much set as they can. The whole point being, 2.5" gives you better responce and colder air. Where as 3" will have a slower time to take in the air from the filter which is afar due to less vacuum and all you are sucking in most of the time is the air that is in the pipe which we already know is getting heated by the engine bay. The 3" will be better suited for short ram intake. This post has been edited by FortuneCookie: Oct 22, 2007 - 6:00 AM |

You don't NEED a bypass valve, but if you like peace of mind, then go for it. Well just expect to not go anywhere when it floods. what about rain. will it suck it up? -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

Have you guys ever thought that that air that gets into the intake is taken from around 6-10 inches from the burning hot pavement when its sunny?...where the air is warm...actually it doesn't really matters. CAI are for sound

i'm not concerned about the rain or puddles... there is very little water that enters the area where the air filter is located (behind the bumper, outside the engine bay and in front of the splash guard).. it pretty much has it's own, somewhat enclosed space.. and it will take more than just light splashes or mist to go all the way up the piping and inside the engine..
and unless you live in a place that gets floods every other year, i wouldn't recommend installing a CAI.

CAI are for sound ever felt air in your engine bay at 5000 rpms???? pretty sure "warm" would be a complete and total understatement for that one...

I´ve got a Apexi dual funnel filter and 3" piping, but should I try with 2.5" piping? Does it really matter? I dont think that the difference is more than maybe 0.5bhp if even that much?

I dont think that the difference is more than maybe 0.5bhp if even that much? I've heard that if you use larger than 2.5" piping you have to cut your fuse box to make it fit (not 100% sure). Other then that I don't think it really matters. Has anyone bought their CAI from racing guys off ebay? They seem to be the only people selling them on ebay right now but I don't want to buy it until I'm sure. I looked for eautosource but there wasn't any. Basically, my options are Racingguys, BOMZ Racing, XYZ Racing or Option Racing. I don't know which one to choose so if anyone knows which of those are trustworthy, let me know it would be greatly appreciated. This post has been edited by Stogbob: Dec 25, 2007 - 11:02 PM |

i would buy something like that...its cheap and it's no bigger then 3"...chances are it's 2.5 which i have and it will fit under the fuse box.....mine took a little bit of force to get back to where it was but it all went together and it made a nice difference -------------------- I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |

Ok, I have a question and I'm not sure if it was answered yet (didn't see anything while skimming through the posts), but I've always wondered ever since I put my SRI on, what that little hose is for. Now on the 5S engines there is a place where a silicone hose fits and connects the 2 but the 7A doesn't have that connection. I didn't think it was necessary so I put a vacuum seal over it and I've never had a problem but some of the guys that put intakes on their 7A have that hose going somewhere. My question is: Where is that hose going? Pic below for clarification.
