i vote for sticky!

 

forgot to add... this mod will make your car LOUD as hell at wot! seriously i need to get an audio clip its awesome lol

 

cool post :thumbsup:

Your $ figures are all over the price, what was the total cost? lol

 

the total cost for me was like 90$ since i had to pay 30$ shipping to stupid canada

parts total was like 60$ lol

 

eh , $90.00 is cheaper than a $150-$200.00 intake. !

Looks really good too!

 

Stickying!

 

sweet!! cant wait for spring to do this!

 

Hi lemegacool, cold air intakes and K&N cold air intake
I'm so impressed, that was just brilliant but it's just that loudness, how about trying to built something less louder as well?

Well you could find a way to hook up the big milk jug to the cai lol that would quiet it down

 

great write-up...ok nvm about the prices dealio, I figured it out...:lol:

which kinda cone filter are you using specifically (I know it's 3 inches inlet but where did you get it from) ?? :dunno:

also to quote "cut the followings lenghts of pipe

7"
13"
and i dont quite remember the lenght of the last little bit of pipe ... was around 4"


^ so on the website it states that the 3.00" OD, 16 Gauge, Aluminum Straight Tube are 12 inches in length...how exactly are you cutting it to 13 inches then?? :dunno: =/

 

lol dont pay attention to prices... i think they all got mixed up lol

hahaha they sell it by the foot so i bought 3 foot came in as a 36" long piece of pipe THEN you can cut it to 13"

filter is "tuned" brand from canadian tire lol

 

thanks for the reply...we'll see if they give me 3 separate 1 footers or just a 36 incher...

 

glad to see some people stepping up and getting things done honestly though i would wrap that thing in some insulation cause the intake air temperature does go up even with that and it's due to the pipe getting heat soaked.

great write up :thumbsup:

great write up :thumbsup:

really ?
but the air moves thru the intake so fast. will it have enough time for the heat to be transfered from the heatsoaked pipe into the intake air ?

wrap it w exhaust heat wrap ? haha

 

my obd2 scanner shows a huge drop in intake temps!!! and i checked when i came back from work and the pipe is ice-cold !!! cant be worse than sucking HOT air from the engine compartment! lol

plus this spring i'm going to powdercoat the whole CAI so it will help insulating...

 

did you ever test the temperature with the stock airbox?? if so, how does it compare?? :dunno:

 

nice. thats good news. that means the intake pipe isn't gettin heat soaked

 

Stock airbox on a gen 4 5SFE is 30 degrees F cooler than with an SRI :thumbsup:

I know, unrelated. But I think it was around 90 degrees F stock and 120-130 degrees F SRI.

 

mine got really hot cause i used it at the track. so hard pulls and traffic will affect it

 

^^ true... i'll see this summer how it gets hot... pretty cold here actually !

 

It's winter, so cold air intake.

 

...this is a cold air intake

 

............It's also a cold rain intake, cold bug intake, cold dust intake, cold snow intake, cold small dog intake, cold small granny's purse intake............:lol:

 

...this is a RAM air intake

Fixed

a CAI would be at the Lowest point of the car.....Heat rises remember...:lol: the lower you go the colder...w/ the intake in the front......

right there you are forcing air into the engine faster...maybe not so much colder...

Gio...did you ever have a bug problem w/ that on the track?

Gino...did you ever have a bug problem w/ that on the track?

No problem at all. but there was a dog that ended up missing ...and it walked in front of my car....

i also did that setup for long drives but i had a filter inline

 

You're all wrong

THAT'S a cold-air intake :lol:

 

^omfg lmao

i just checked my gen4 and the throttle body axis doesn't line up w the hole that u stuck ur intake pipe thru. ugh. so i can't have a straight pipe from the tb thru that hole to behind the fender. fml

 

Don't know if your OBX intake pipe has the slight bend in it like the Injen, but there were cold-air extensions available that worked with Gen 4 1MZs in conjunction with the Injen SRI that routed to that opening in front of the driver front wheel. Wish I had a better pic, but the weather sucks and I'm lazy.

 

^^ lol that intake must have been very loud lol

 

actually...i didn't hear it...but the people i pass do!!

next summer i'm definitively powder coating the CAI candy red with a clear coat... this will help insulating

very good idea:thumbsup:

You have fun toys. I want to learn what you have. And how to use it. You should start a thread. :thumbsup:

 

Ahhh so you just have junk sitting around like me. :lol: But yes. I was referring to powdercoating... welding... etc. The more "advanced" DIY stuff that not everyone is willing to take on.

 

yeah i guess i could make a thread about that... but you really want me to show you how to tig weld aluminium or stainless or semi-automatic gmaw/fcaw welding?

i'll be sure to take pics when i powder coat some stuff...

I've also done a lot of work trying to figure out a good way to do a CAI with our 3-4 gen Camry's. I custom made a much cruder system than the great one shown in this thread, but essentially the same. Two things bugged me... First it was too loud. Second it gave the engine induction note a cheap sound, kind of like an old pushrod Chevy, 2.8 V-6. Now I'm all about making changes that both enhanse the cars performance and retain its quality feel and sound. My answer was to build a system that included a "T", juction with the big "milk jug" sound resonnator inside the left fender of the car. This gave me good CAI, and a wonderful, quieter induction sound, a bit like a BMW I6. It only gets a little ragged over 6000rpm.

good idea! :thumbsup: yeah now i do less wot than before because of the loudness of the CAI especially when the aics kicks in YO! :lol:

BUT! i'm going to leave it that way since when i'll install my custom M90 SC it will quiet down the induction noise

plus i'm going to be using laminova water/air intercooler cores right after the SC witch will quiet down induction noise even more! i should be left with a neat loud SC whine (especially if i decide to weld up the silencer ports on the m90 )

 

Noise Factor..
