As you have all probably noticed before on the a80's, the air intake on supras is very restricted and doesnt seem to get a lot of cold air flowing through as the front end seems fairly well sealed. has anyone here modified the standard intake system without going to a pod filter???

i put a K&N air panel filter in my airbox. Gained 1rwkw extra its fucn awesome. makes a bit more sound and flows better than the stock white panel filter. :)

Wow Sam 1rwkw extra. Did you race down and get some extra sticky semi race tyres for the rear :burnout: :rock:

Actually Supra_star you will find Toyota actually did a very good job with the intake on the JZA80 Supra and quiet a few people who have added Pod filters have actually gone backwards in power as you then have issues with sucking underbonnet hot air. If you are starting to chase bigger numbers i.e. over 380 rwkw you could look into a Pod filter enclosed in a custom airbox. This way you can plumb outside air into the box with ducting but this does involve a bit of cutting and shutting. Until your chasing big numbers use the standard setup with an aftermarket panel filter.

yeah not to keen on a pod just yet, its a lot more sience involved with pods than people want to recognise. K&N filter is going in on thursday, but just thinkin if there was anyway to get more free flowing air in there. if not i suppose i can live, but im still gunna experiment i reckon.

thanks peoples,
Shane.

Darren, I think you forget that 1rwkw is about a 20% gain for Sootie's car...

Im such a whore :bleh:

pod filter with custom enclosed airbox for sure!

car sounds a million times better, performance wise?? I noticed a slight increase in colder temperatures.

If you balance up the cost of a pod (and proper shielding/box) against the actual benefit, it's far more cost effective to stick with the K&N panel...

k&n pod filter on special at autobarn= $49
PVC piping= $13
Aluminium= $35
Black paint= $6
Self adhesive heat insulator= $28

$131 for pod filter in custom airbox, DIY style.

and sounds bloody awesome.

ebay sells the 'TURBONATOR' which you attach in the middle of your intake pipe and it adds 25hp. check it out! it whistles and spins and thrusts air into ur manifold faster blah blah blah. check ebay hahhahaa
