simota or stock?

[bazam83]

I am scheduled for maintainance on my yaris next week , and i thought instead of getting all of the same original aftermarket stuff what the heck , lets look for high preformance
auto parts .... and i found the simota carbon charger especially for the yaris as a replacement for my stock air filter but some of my friends told me that the stock toyota air filter would be better than the simota carbon air intake and that the simota had wide pores that could damage my engine with dust and sand..... i also found a K&N air intake but it wasnt for the yaris it was a universal intake one and i saw it installed on a chevy aveo ....
so which one ? good old stock or simota carbon or universal K&N ?

I also found denso iridium spark plugs but i dont know if there effective or not ....... but i didnt find the lk16 i found the vk16 (which is iridium tough not iridium power)
should i search for the lk16 or install the vk16 or stick with the ordinary stuff?

are you in egypt?

id run w/ the oiled k&n filter or k&n intake....the oiled filter will trap some of those particles your friends are talking about...

yes i know the K&Nf ilter is better than simota , but the K&N didnt build a specefic one for the yaris , however the simota was built for yaris
and its carbon which insulates heat from outside

contact brad at www.neverenoughauto.com ...he should be able to find it...

[bazam83]

ok , i found it online but to be honest , 350 USD + shipping ..... this is not my budget
the stuff available here in egypt is the carbon charger for about 100 USD
and the K&N for 150 USD

the guy at the shop wants to sell me a universal K&N and install it with a pipe , but im afraid that it being universal may mess with the control unit and sensor as regarding fuel and air burning ? what do u think

CONTACT WWW.YARISUNIVERSE.COM FOR BETTER INFO ON THAT SIMOTA FILTER. AS FOR THE PLUGS ID LEAVE THE ONES ON THERE IF THERE THE SAME AS OUR 100,000 MILES ONES.....

The guy says the metal pipe might not be necessary , because the engine bay is small and the black plastic tube can do the job
so is he right ? and does the metal pipe have any other use than getting cold air away from the engine?

can the K&N Typhoon fit my 1.3 L , 2NZ-FE ?

I have the same K&N also and love it, I could have found it a little cheaper on ebay, but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it at here. K&N 69-8612TFK, or you can try one of the vendors on the forum here, you can usually find a good deal that way as well. This was very easy to install and I love it.
