Air intake system

[1996camry]

what air intake systems that put on their car 96 toyota camry 2.2l 4 cylinder to increase the horse power? does anyone see a difference by put air intake system could increase horse power?

do you have to change intake manifod (front engine catalyer) if you put air intake system?

share some pics....does it worth spend moneys....please share your inputs...

Yeah i just put a short ram on my 97 camry and its deff. worth it. but running a cold air would be much better! your going to have to deal with the mass air flow censor. your going to have to take the censor "box" off the old air filter box and just let it hang or bolt it down to a ground wire or something but its pretty easy just follow the directions and make sure you hook up the censor!

O yeah my bad. it doesnt matter what intake you put on it. i put one on it that i got at auto zone and it works just as good if not better than a 200 dollar one.

the 4cyl will not gain any noticeable horsepower from a Short Ram Intake or Cold Air Intake, although it will become considerably louder (gives a great sound) ...

If you want a Cold Air Intake, you are going to have to make one yourself out of various parts, if you want a Short Ram Intake, you can buy one from Weapon-R or other various companies (search around the forums, it has been covered before)

i chose the Weapon-R Dragon Intake ... here's how it looks & sounds:

outside:

none will give you a noticeable increase unless your stock one was blocked up but it will change the sound

[ncj_23]

These guys are saying there will be no noticable increase but on the 96 it has a silencer that restricts the airflow tramendously. so if you put a cheep 70 dollar intake on it, your deff. gonna feel it.

if by silencer you are referring to the resonator, I took mine off and noticed no difference in the power... I dont think you really know what you are talking about

Yeah the resonator (silencer) either way it says that your driving a v6??? think about it he is driving a 4 bangger. im just trying to help him out man. and im not telling him to buy dragon 200 dollar intakes either im letting him know what he can do thats cheap.


Ok can someone please go google resonator???? its a silencer like the one behind your cat. and i was saying "200" because i know they cost alot it was a guess.....you know what that is? yall think your so fucking awesome because you've been on here for 3 months or whatever. damn im just trying to let the dude know that you WILL feel it. maybe its not 10 to 15 hp like people say but you CAN feel it. if its stock and you want to make it sound good without a shitty exhaust and have alittle fun. put an intake on it.


and i have one on my car so dont tell me that i dont know.

ncj_23, you are wrong ... the silencer/water collector does not restrict airflow, at all

please refrain from talking about that which you do not know

not to mention the "dragon 200 dollar intakes" is a Weapon-R Dragon Intake for $100

Well I get to chime in because I have a 5SFE with an aftermarket intake.

I lost power down low...period. My car doesn't pull as hard from a dead stop than it did with the stock intake box on.

I gained some power towards redline...maybe 5hp by my ass-dyno lol.

I challenge someone to perform 0-60 mph times and 0-30 mph times with their stock.....and then do the same with an aftermarket intake. If done in an unbias way, I'd bet money the 0-30 times will be lower than stock, but the 0-60 times will be close, and maybe a little faster with the aftermarket.

"Noise" does NOT = "power".

it doesnt matter which engine, it is well known fact that aftermarket intakes whether it be sri or cai doesnt help either engine.

the only intake that would really do anything is the tuneable cpi intake as seen on a bunch of solaras

also not true, unless you installed something improperly ... throttle response should improve a little bit by laws of physics - low end power should not decrease

my 0-60 times have not changed at all, as far as i can calculate [only calculated with 1 decimal place accuracy], and i doubt my 0-45 or 0-30 times have either, as i can still chirp tires and do all that other great stuff

if youre going to buy an aftermarket intake for the 5S-FE, do not do it because you wish to gain Horsepower or Torque

thats the best way to look at it - any discussion of gains/losses is irrelevant without a dyno, and its just going to ruin the thread and get it locked

[xet]

^i would say dont go aftermarket unless its the cpe for v6's either unless you plan on going boosted because there it doesnt really give any gains either

of course based on performance, sound and just wanting to modify is a different story

[Black95Cam]

^^ i have the v6 with the weapon r dragon intake and the throttle response did improve a bit, and it MIGHT just be me, but seem like i gain a few mpg...

but i got it for the sound knowingly i wont gain, if any HP and TQ.

There is no way to install the intake improperly. I am a totally capable mechanic.

If I had the money, or even cared to prove you wrong I would dyno it. I promise you I lost power down low. Keep in mind I have a cheap ebay intake. A "good" intake like AEM who actually tune their intakes for each application would be better I'm sure. But mine is what it is.

Like I said, 0-30 and 0-60 times could/would prove my theory..........every bit as much as a dyno. So why bring up locking?
