My observations with a CAI and SRI

[toyotaman11]

Due to the change in seasons here in Chicago, I decided to go from my CAI to SRI.

With my scangauge I have noted the following observations. When running my CAI, my intake air temperatures where usually the same as the outside air temp or a couple degrees over.

Now with my SRI, I have noticed quite a bit of a change. At cruising speeds, my intake temperatures are about 3-5 degrees over outside air temperature. Also in city driving with stop and go traffic, I have seen my intake air temperature go up to almost 30 degrees above outside air temperature.

So all in all if you do a lot of highway driving, you will not notice much of a difference with a SRI than a CAI. However, as soon as I did the change I did notice the difference. To me it feels a lot less responsive.

What temps does the stock intake give you?

Haven't tried it since I removed all the components and am not sure if I even have the components anymore.

However perhaps someone else with a scanguage may be able to let you know.

I know there's threads about intakes and air filter...sorry.

I wanted to know if a Bomz Racing Short Ram Intake would be a good fit for 01 corolla or not...and i know i have heard a k&n drop in is suggested most from everyon...so just asking???

[ilovecorollale]

Is a bomz racing intake good for a corolla...i know i have heard many suggest a K and N drop in but dont know.
And besides what about a weapon R intake too?anything ideas?

I have a K&N drop in.

Didnt improve horsepower at all, but did increase throttle response.

Do you know if anyone has tried a bomz or weapon r or another called Dragon secret or secret dragon something like that (idk )?...but do you?

I went out and got a scan gauge. The thing is AWESOME.

The stock air intake Consistantly reads +2->4 degrees abouve outside temp at 40 mph, and 0-2 degrees at 60.

I merged your thread with this existing one because they are discussing the same topics.

Hope you find the answers to your questions.
