alex2jz Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ok, so for quite some time i'm looking for an aftermarket intake system but ended up buying nothing because i am too confused with what will fit on my car. The MAF sensor thing, the fact that the most important brands intakes are for 2JZ-GTE(i am NA) and what are all the pieces i really need for this ( i want to do it myself) really made me hesitant about this. So, what i am asking please, if possible is the part number of the intake that should work with my 1997 Toyota Supra NA ( Non VVTI) from Apexi and HKS( Does K&N being oil coated mess up my sensor ?). Also i would like to know exactly what i need besides the intake kit itself. Thanks to anyone who can handle such a noob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks martini, but i really want something straight out of the box. How about the stock airbox? works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 How about the stock airbox? works well Some also say it's better than all this aftermarket tomfoolery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 How about the stock airbox? works well It does , but i really need to hear / feel something different, being NA isn't fun you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 It does , but i really need to hear / feel something different, being NA isn't fun you know http://filespump.com/turbo-sound.html hehehe, Seriously though, the stock airbox is the best option. Consider a decat pipe if you want slightly better rather than the air filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 An aftermaket panel filter in the stock airbox is it worthed? I have to say being NA is a pain in the a$$, are there any mods i can look to in the future besides the exhaust? Excluding NA-T, and engine swap of course i don't have that much money.

tbourner Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 You won't ever get the performance out of an NA which I'm guessing you want from your replies (unless you do go NA-T or swap). You can get A LOT of noise with decats and exhausts, but the power increase won't be massive. With the cones and other aftermarket air filters you may be looking at power loss (with some noise increase), there's no real way of knowing. A new filter in the standard box may give some improvement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 You won't ever get the performance out of an NA This may be the fact i fear most in my life lol Anyway... I'm looking primarily for a better sound and engine response, i realize that real performance is impossible without adding a turbo in the equation and that's not what i am looking for right now. Considering what all you guys have said i think it's a better idea to go with an Apexi panel filter and a good aftermarket exhaust and a decat and maybe save for some headers in the future..

tbourner Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 You can get all the stuff you want from an NA, even without turbos and stuff, but it costs money. You could get tuned manifolds and all sorts to improve throttle response and stuff like that. If you want a quick cheap fix I can't help I'm afraid - maybe some NA owners know of some products that have helped them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The loudest mod I've ever heard on an N/A was a polished exhaust manifold and a straight though exhaust! If you want extreme then go for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadeS Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 What I did to my supra. I change manifold exhaust from stock to nick's which I brought from Hoff also change stock exhaust to Blitz nur spec "S". It sound and response much much better. After all i think that's it Good service will help to get the most of you car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get better engine response, especially if you sit still at lights on a hot day, then promptly hoover up 50degC air out the engine bay when you plonk your foot down. You wil get a nice sucking noise though. If you fit one to look nice and sound nice, fair play, but it will do either nothing or even slow things down a shade - don't be thinking it'll increase power. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 T-I-G-G-E-R, if i'd saw that before making this thread i probably would have bought it. In the meantime i decided to go from intake upgrade to NA-TT lol At this momment i am in research and fund raising ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Looks like you bought the wrong car. Sounds like you'll never be happy with just an N/A. Either sell it and buy a TT or get an engine transplant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right mate , NA it's not fun at all, apart from the looks i get because it's a Supra lol The car is a 6spd NA so i decided that NA-TT will be a really good option in my case.
