Is that a 96 engine in your car Boss-Celica?  I have a 94, and I've never noticed the differences before.  I thought the set up was almost the same with all the 5sfe motors.  My egr valve is different, and that vent hose coming out of the valve cover.

I see what you are talking about. I think they did do some minor adjustments from the 94 to the 96.

weren't the adjustments made in 1996 to help accomodate the OBDII requirements? That makes sense to me at least

Were does it go off the valve cover? Does it look like BossCelica's? Or does it go to the throttle body?

[urbandork]

valve cover to TB and there was another from the back of then engine to the pipe. but seeing as they both suck before the butterfly valve it probably doesnt matter.

Awesome bro here is mine, I made it out of Mandrel Bent Piping, and hand polished it it cost me around 80 to make.

Nice setup, now scrub that engine bay and your battery needs some TLC.

Where did you buy the parts from?

hey cool... i'm a part of the sticky.

[pimpstarr690]

Im just putting this out there....Saves you time and the hastle...ebay

[bojangles_8686]

Yay I put mine in today... there are some adjustments that need to be made but it is fine for now. I also had an idea. Where the filter comes out in the fender, what if a 90 degree was put in there to make the cone sit horizontally in the fender. Depending on the feedback, I am going to try it.

looks good chucks, hows it sound? i know youve had stock airbox for a while haha

[j0e_p3t]

good job. where's your battery?

[bojangles_8686]

good job. where's your battery?

I wasnt done when I took those pics , the battery is back in now And it sounds really nice, not too loud but I can definitley hear it!

[j0e_p3t]

oic. now get a bypass filter.... just in case.

[6gsillyca]

where is a good place to get a by-pass filter?

I just noticed that the hole between the stock air box and the fender is different on my '99 GT than ya'lls is. Mine is farther back towards the suspension and a little easier to get to. I will post a pic when I can. Strange that they changed something so trivial in the later years. I can say that it would be easier to route piping wise but it would require cutting a larger diameter or using smaller than 2.5" piping (not a good idea IMO).
All in all I just decided to stay with my 3" short ram run to the hole and left the stock lower airbox and piping so it would get at least some cold air.
The reason why is I sucked water into my engine when the car was stock and it really sucked getting it out and then having to change the oil before driving the car again. How does a bypass valve prevent this? If it works 100% I may decide to CAI just for the f*ck of it since CAI vs. Short ram is a minimal difference at best anyway.

[j0e_p3t]

i'm pretty sure a bypass valve prevents hydrolock 99.99% of the time. its like a seperate mini air filter that works when your normal filter is submerged in water.

HOLD UP!!!
All i have to nuy is a Accord 90-93 CIA kit and bypass valve and i can make this happen wif above instructions...

What are some of the HP gains?

[vozizm]

I take it this one will work with this mod?

[LewFX]

if you get the accord cai, most the time the 2 pipes are different sizes so it would be difficult to use a bypass valve, get a one piece aem version, cut in the right location, add the bypass valve as a coupling.
