It's about two days that my sick mind is thinking to install a direct conic filter (with double aspiration) in the stock panel airbox!!!!

What do you guys think about that?

I don't you'll get one to fit in without butchering your airbox, which don't want to do because they cost about $400.

I don't know about the availability of such a part in Italy, but you're better off removing the airbox completely and finding a MAF adaptor which can fit your sensor and you can fit the filter to.

why not leave the airbox alone and just take the stock snorkle out and replace with a better routed one instead?

He's already removed the bottom of the airbox and made his own ducting leading into it.

@Suprathai: a filter of 160mm lenght and 60mm of diameter will fit

@IZZ-FE: I want to maintain the airbox with a conic filter in order to don't take a warm air!!

This is what I want to do....

I was about to say it can be done, and now you have real life picture.

I was about to do this also, before christmas eve, but local Autobarn need to order in the shape, angle and size of the K&N filter, so I couldnt be bothered. But hey, someone beats me to it and boy that looks great.

REVIEW PLEASE.

Oh what filter is that by the way?

I think you'll need to remove the white airflow straightner to fit it though. If you do the MAF sensor may give funny readings because of turbulance.

Danz you have an AEM CAI, why would you do this?

but for your opinion is a good idea or not?

May I have a turbulence on MAF sensor with a conic filter?

What is the best: panel filter or a conic filter in airbox in order to isolate it by the warm air of the radiator...... or a CAI (but for this I'm not sure of his functionality)

ive read in some car magazines that CAI filters have to be boxed in order to be legal (here in NSW anyway - have i been misinformed?).

so what your thinking about has been done b4 and it may or may not be better than the regular panel filter.

my guess is that it simply wouldnt perform as well as installing a CAI.

i was bout to modify my intake pipe to improve airflow but so many ppl in here keep raving bout CAI that decided im not gonna mess with the intake (besides the K+N panel filter i got 4 free) unless i got the $$$ for a decent CAI.

but yea if this mod turns out 2 perform as well as a normal CAI then id probebly follow your lead.

good luck with it!

Why is that, you have not changed anything other then the filter?

a more factory look maybe. You wouldn't get the SRI roar though because the boxing would muffle it.

hmmmm im impressed with this idea.. looks good and obviously to those that pop the bonnet looks very standard, i take it that you just leave the base of the box off... who's car is this on by the way?? any reviews would be good - looks like a very cheap yet possibly effective way for nice induction.. thumbs up :clap:

Brain was being creative, due to insane amount of lavazza espresso and countless Marlboro. Ahaha.

I was bored and then I found out about K&N ranges of filters, which available in many2 sizes inc small ones that will fit into the box. So I thought why not try, esp that day was boxing day so autobarn sells cheap, but unfortunately they need to order it so I coudln't be bothered.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
