Cold Air Intake '99 Corolla - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Chjpeter · 07-31-2007, 05:16 PM

New to the site and cars in general. I've been internet searching for days on CIAs and I have yet to find any valuable rescources. Is there a holy grail explaining these systems or have any of you 99 corolla owners installed one yourself? I'm at wits end looking for info specific to Corolla's so I'd thought I'd ask other corolla owners. Thanks for you help.

ELC prototypes used to make one... they pop up on ebay every once in a while

You can try to go custom fabricate one as well

Custom seems to be the only way to get a CAI

well since i went to work, i check on the elbow pieces and there seems to be like 20, 90, 40 (maybe some more dont remember) degree pieces. and i ment to ask what does an air bypass valve do in a CAI?

READ UP ON MY POST http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t201427.html AND IT SHOULD GIVE U THE ANSWER I FOUND A WAY TO DO IT...THERE SHOULD B A LINK ON THAT POST SENDING YOU TO THE PICTURE GALLERY WHICH HAS A 94 COROLLA WITH A COLD AIR...AND SINCE THE ENGINE BAY OF A 98 ISNT MUCH DIFERENT FROM A 94 YOU CAN DO THE SAME THING. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RELOCATE THE CATCH CAN (PLASTIC) FOR YOUR RADIATOR FLUID....WHICH SHOULD B ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR BATTERY AND MOVE IT BEHIND THE BATTERY...YOUR GONNA NEED SOME TUBING SO U CAN MOVE THE CATCH CAN....AND THEN PEICE THE COLD AIR WITH THOSE KITS IN AUTOZONE OR ADVANCE AUTOPARTS...OR JUST CUSTOMIZE IT YOURSELF WITH PIPES AND WELDING...
