gordy.r Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ok, so a lot of us agree that stock airbox and OEM or K&N panel filter or similar is a good way to go. I currently have an HKS mushroom kit on but also have a stock airbox and K&N panel filter which I was about to fit.... But.... I'm looking at 'blinging' up my engine bay a little bit and really fancied an alloy of polished alloy hard pipe kit leading from the airbox to engine etc. And then I spotted this: http://www.carid.com/1994-toyota-supra-air-intakes/injen-air-intake-359331.html Anyone have any experience of these? Looks like a pretty solid kit with full hard pipe. In true Commonwealth Games fashion, discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterfett Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 well "Toyota Supra 3.0L V6 1993-1995," would be my first concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 As it isn't sealed, it isn't going to be as effective as the stock airbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to see if it had any gains as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Waste of money and doubt very much it does anything for performance once the bonnets shut and its just sucking in the hot air in the engine bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Mine came with a dual cone install...if someone offered me the stock airbox and ALL fittings in exchange I might swap. Filters are brand new replacements too. Post 23 Red Engine bay is what I have. Edited July 31, 2014 by Alex (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Kindo of skim read the whole thing. They are claiming faster spool and 25rwhp. They say the air is less disturbed as it dosent 'split' it it just goes straight to the turbo and also less bends for the air go around. How true this is I don't know. This is a post from #250 With a mechanical engineer I know (my father) we fastly calculated 4 important points to consider wich are all good sounding for the Dual intake. 1. 2.5 inch diameter twice give as much as 39% increase over 3inch diameter OEM piping ! 2. Ribled piping lost is incredible compared to standard straith piping, can't remember the numbers, but big lost removed for sure 3. The Dual cone filters I used (2 filters) give 3 time more filtration area than a single Apexi "Power Intake" 4. Removing 180degree of restriction, then 120 degree and 3-4 feets of piping plus the 2 bolt restrictions are all huge restrictions 5. The T divider where the air is splitted to each turbo is a HUGE loss because of the generated turbulence when both turbo work I resume the discussion I had with my father without all the numbers like a 90degree equal to 25feets of straith run or something, but for sure this is a MUST to all Twins owners. Also the air filters I ordered are considered the best over K&N, Apexi, Greddy, HKS, Blitz, etc., ordered from australia (again) from eBay, here is the article: http://pages.videotron.com/kanemack/AirFilter.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
