Hey GUys

I recently brought a U. Smade CAI for my car.

Just went out and did a quick measurement of the pipe and it seems to be 70mm (2.75 ")

Now ive done some searching but i cant find any clear cut answers.

Firstly are the TRD AEM and INJEN Cais 70mm or 75mm?

Secondly the filter in the corolla part sections (K+N Extreme 3900 POD Filter - RX-3900-1) says it has a 3" flange or 75mm.

So im guessing that one wont fit.

Can anyone give me an idea on what filter to get. Lookign to spend $140 max. Was thinking ITG but cant ifnd where to get them or maybe the TRD one if it will fit.

Thanks

Bill

I'm hoping Blitz make something in that size for that application. banGn had a Blitz filter and the thing was awesome.

the AEM is also 70mm, I think the Injen is also.

pretty certain the TRD one is also 70mm

I've been wondering the same thing with regards to upgrading the filter, but for a questionable 1-2kw... why?

as long as its an oil-paper filter, you should be right, CAIs + dry types = mushie paper in the rain.

And if u really sunk your car into that much water that u manage to hydrolock it (its near impossible to do with out driving into a lake) then no filter, good or bad will make a difference.

Dylan can vouch for the quality of my AEM filter. Its not as good a quality as what dylans is. His has the wire support going through his, mine has the plastic support on the inside, im not too sure what the difference was between his and mine filter wise though.....

Another couple of questions does anyones filter get wet when washing the car?? If the filter does get wet what should we do?

That reminds me. How'd it go nikich? Hehe. It screams huh. Should scare a few people next time you race someone...

All you need now is a straight through racing pipe instead of the sportivo muffler and you'll be deafening people from here to china lmao.

Btw your car sat very nice.

Mate my hoover makes less of a sucking noise :D :lol: everyday since its been in its been getting louder and louder

Yeah it sat a little lower because apparently the old shocks didnt support the car anymore so it was basically on the stops, i put new shocks in and now it handles better and sits off the stops :)

      Putting 15" or 16" on will only make it slower, won't have the power to pull higher gearing, trust me I know, my cousin has one. He ended up putting a 4y/ 5speed in it

      300 series turbo issues

      I have since found when it happened again on steep incline, lift foot on accelarater pedal, drops a gear and then back on the gas an no issue as is out of the rev range approx 2200 where it happens. (This is all done in a second so not a drama at all now for me when it happens)

      Current Oil Specials

      You're not wrong there Ash, greedy retailers trying to make a dollar. I say let them all bleed & see how they like it, surely they must be hurting by now. I have rarely walked into either of the big 3 auto stores, essentially purchased nothing all year. Have plenty stock to keep going, anticipating big Black Friday sales. I have also been considering swapping out my Aurion for something much taller (cos lower back issues) & super efficient but I just can't bring myself to flushing all that $$ for the sake of it, especially given the Aurion is still like a new car. Also concerned about leaving the very good safety of a car manufactured by Toyota for something a little unknown despite also being Japanese made. Then there's the ever changing landscape in the middle east which is excuse enough to instill fear into everyone from producers to stockbrokers to retailers and of course those that live there. Interesting times ahead for sure.

      Advice Please

      Welcome to the forum John, Depending on where you are your best option may be to get your existing alternator checked first to be totally sure that is the issue.The next if unable to find one suitable even on the aftermarket you may have to have that one rebuilt ..That may be your only option..I am sure somewhere there is one suitable but finding it is always the issue. I would get good advice from an AUTO ELECTRICIAN as they will have the inside knowledge of any sources that may able able to help you mate. KAA
