cookci Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 good idea or bad idea... just near the headlight so it pulls in cold air could this possibly increase performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 No point, it provides adequate air for what you need and little performance gain would occur if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookci Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 not such a maxpower idea... it worked on my celica and with a number of other celica owners Just wanted to know if it was worth it thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 How big a hole are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookci Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 dunno maybe removing the entire side of the front of the airbox near the drivers side wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 That's not really drilling a hole, is it? A hole that size would tend to suck in warm air from the engine bay, or so I whould have thought. FYI, general concensus on here is that for anything other than a big single the stock airbox is perfectly good for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The airbox is fine as is, there is NO point in removing it, drilling holes in it, modifying it, fitting a different filter to stock, blah blah. I have measured vac drop on them and it's a superb set up, quite able to feed 500 BHP engines with no real restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookci Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 ok ok lol so lightening the car or nitrous it is then p.s. does the supra have a throttle heater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 It has a throttle body warmed by the engine coolant, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Why would you want to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Why would you want to do that? Aiding in decreasing charge temps by any chance? I've done it on my car and it has no detrimental effect on cold running. I'm guessing it's there for the really cold countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Not that I remember. Just in and out from the main waterways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Not that I remember. Just in and out from the main waterways. its fed from the front of the head to the TB out of the TB to the iscv so you can by pass no probs. head to ISCV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 its fed from the front of the head to the TB out of the TB to the iscv so you can by pass no probs. head to ISCV. I never knew that, always thought for performance sake it would have had a temp controlled valve in line. Must have a good look next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffers Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 How jolly Max Power I remember reading Max Power (years ago I might add) and doing that with my Calibra airbox! How much difference did it make... Mmmmm, about 100bhp I reckon! Honest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 The way the Supra is designed it would just suck in warm air from teh Main fan anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 how about make some holes in the airbox and redirect your aircon fan so you get Airconditioned induction! Now thats what you call INOVATION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
