marc_p Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've left my standard one on with uprated panel filter as the car does long distance journeys so like to keep mpg up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 No, No, Stock, Stock Unless you're running monster power, there's nowt better than the stock airbox with maybe a Bltz or TRD panel filter fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 oh rite so actually just get a better filter instead of changing the whole unit! we all like to keep our mpg up!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Stock gives better filtration plus it always has a cold air feed via 2 sources. Induction kits generally offer less filtration (more crap entering your engine), are more expensive to maintain (filters wise) and unless ducted to a cold air feed take in warm/hot air. Colder denser air gives more power and better mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 in that case il just leave it as normal then, with my beautiful blitz intercooler doin some cold air stuff lol! so do people just put them on for show- cos u see this engine bays with these two giant ass mushroom style intakes and that but really thats doing sod all then!?

marc_p Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Depends how good the cold air feeds are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 standard box looks crap ive got an apexi kit on mine with two 3inch cold feed pipes and shielding sounds awesome havent noticed any loss in mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 standard box looks crap ive got an apexi kit on mine with two 3inch cold feed pipes and shielding sounds awesome havent noticed any loss in mpg as above I have had them both, for ages. I love the way you can hear the turbos so clearly through the Apexi. std are good, but enclose and duct cold air into an induction kit (like I have) and it is spot on. Bollox to what other people say about the std. filter - I agree it is designed to function for this car, but I like the look and sound of the induction kits. do what you want mate, all of my supra's have run with induction kits with no problems whatsoever - it is an un-proven theory. Who knows, the crap entering might sand blast the internals and clean off the carbon making them more efficient?! (joking!) Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
