Prof. Monkey Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi I want to fit an induction kit to my 93 J-spec N/a. What sort of problems will I encounter? I am looking at an Injen, but the instructions and diagram show that there is an air mass meter to be fitted within the pipework, where is the Supra's and what happens if I do not have this item within the pipework, from what I can see there is some meters on the throttle body.... Your help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMachine Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Dazsir, fitted one to mine (apexi) and noticed a difference bottom end. Not much difference above 50mph upwards though. Well worth doing. Cheap mod. Make sure you refit the 'fuel management' sensor that sits in the main funnel from the new air intake. (it hangs on a cable just on the left hand side of the engine bay as you look from the front of the car). Drill a hole and seal with silicon to make it airtight. Good luck.

Prof. Monkey Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Thanks for the swift reply, bit unsure of the fuel management system, the only sensor I moved out was on the right hand side of the engine bay as you look at the car, it was pushed in the plastic intake (stock) about half way in, presumed it was a temp sensor to measure the air??? Would that be specific to turbo Supras? Mine is a N/A. Your advice would be appreciated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I just drilled a couple of holes and pushed the sensors in, can just make it out in this pic. http://www.toddsonline.me.uk/cars/supra/hkssupra1.jpg Reset the ECU and that was it. Then I put the stock back on with a toms panel which is far better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Was the sensor a long thin one made by Denso? Been out in the car and it runs fine. Still confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 What sort of problems will I encounter? 1. Loss of power due to engine sucking up hot air from engine bay. 2. Poor filtration = more engine wear. 3. Noise... Apart from that go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I want to fit an induction kit to my 93 J-spec N/a.No you don't. Don't do it Daz. This has been gone over many times. The first mod I made to my car was to remove the HKS induction kit and refit the stock airbox. The car runs so much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Pants! why do people always recommend having an induction kit, the one I have got my hands on is an Ingen technology which has a heat shield. What other mods can I do with reasonable amount of money to improve my performance? There was a sensor in the stock airbox, am I right in thinking this is the MAF sensor, if it is what does it do?

merckx Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Pants! why do people always recommend having an induction kit This is changing, the stock airbox has a cold air intake which is better and the filter will provide much better filtration than one you would get with an induction kit.

The people who recommend them are 'usually' the people who are selling them, mmmm.... wonder why that would be?? I would suggest sticking it on ebay and sell it to some chav to make his Saxo go quicker There is not a lot you can do to an NA to get a lot more performance out of it, removing the cats and fitting an after market exhaust will have some benefit, but don't go expecting big gains for your money. There are a few members running NOS, this will give good hp gains but it is not cheap to use on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbystone Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I would say ditch the ingen as i have a fully fabricated stainless steel kit with an apexi on the end and its now been tested on dyno and with standard box in and a better panel filter youll see a better bhp gain. Iv also just had nos fitted and its AWSOME....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMachine Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Nic, I thought a replacement induction kit didn't do anything for those with TT's but was OK for us NA's! Is that not so? I've noticed a difference bottom end, as I've told Daz, now I'm confused! Did you get my PM re. bits? Chers, Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 The sensor is the MAT sensor (manifold air temperature). If you take it out of the airflow it will be sensing underbonnet temps (which will be higher), but since with out the airbox gone that is what you are sucking in, it shouldn't make any difference.

Prof. Monkey Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yeah I noticed a difference in the bottom end at the car idles beautifully, I got an Injen Technology, with aluminium hard pipes. Thanks for all your help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Nic, I thought a replacement induction kit didn't do anything for those with TT's but was OK for us NA's! Is that not so? It doesn't matter if it is an NA or a TT, both engines should run better and make more power if they are sucking up cool air, as oppossed to hot air from the engine bay. Cool air is more dense which = more oxygen which = bigger bang which = more power. You've also got the same filtration issues whether it is an NA or TT, any small particles getting past the filter are going to wear the engine internals. I've noticed a difference bottom end, as I've told Daz, now I'm confused! Did you get my PM re. bits? Chers, Gaz Yes I got your pm, I'll be viewing the car tomorrow so don't have a lot of info at the moment about what is and isn't available. I'll post details up next week once I've seen it.

Matt T Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Are there any cold air induction kits or fully sealed kits out on the market for the Supra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBunning Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 You can buy mine if you like, Genuine Apexi Kit, it has a hole in the alloy body to take the air mass/flow meter, easy peasy to fit (and remove ) i just don't like the noise of the thing http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36680&item=7974581551&rd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
