Nic Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Thanks Nic. Confused.... I want to improve performance, thought an induction kit was the way to go? A pod type induction kit sucks hot air from the engine bay (especially hot on a turbo car) and has less filtration area (and in the case of the HKS poorer filter element), this results in a reduction in power and more engine/turbo wear. The stock airbox has 2 cool air feeds, one above the radiator and one below the headlight. The panel filter has a greater filter area and better filter element. The cooler air means better performance and better filtration means better engine wear. There are far better mods to do to improve performance, what is the spec of you car at the moment?

Standard at the moment, just bought HKS front pipe, second decat pipe, and HKS silent hi-power exhaust. Also got superchip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Well...single's seem to do well without the stock airbox;) Don't confuse the subject mate, you know cold air induction is better than hot air induction As Nic says, for stock or hybrid turbo's the stock system is by far the best.

Nic Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Standard at the moment, just bought HKS front pipe, second decat pipe, and HKS silent hi-power exhaust. Also got superchip How much did you pay for the superchip and can you get your money back? The superchip is just a HUGELY expensive fuel cut defencer (prevents ecu cutting fuel above 1bar), FCD's are available elsewhere for around £80. If it's a J-spec Supra that you are decatting, you will need to fit a restrictor ring in the exhaust to stop the car from over boosting. You'll also need to fit a cooler grade of plug once running higher boost to prevent misfire, I would also recommend fitting new fuel pump and fuel filter to ensure adequate fueling at higher boost. Do a search for BPU (Basic Performanve Upgrades) and you will find loads of threads on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Also got superchip Can you elaborate on that? The Supra ECU is not 'chipable'. The only think you can do is remove fuel cut with an FCD (£60), but this won't make any difference unless other mods are done beforehand. Edit - Too slow, Nic already mentioned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
