I have no clue about intakes. I want one for my 94' GT to gain HP. I need to know a couple of things. 1) How do I know that I won't suck water into the engine? 2) How do I keep the heat from the engine away from the intake so that it won't be sucking in hot air. 3) How can you make one on your own.
I know people are going to be quick to get on my case about not knowing these things already but I figure that this forum is set up for people to learn from each other. |

You will not get water in the engine (enough to be a problem) even with a CAI. The inlet has to be COMPLETELY submerged for the engine to hydrolock. To do that you'd have to drive through a small lake (>10 deep with the CAI I have). If you're doing **** like that with your celica, you have bigger problems anyway.
An intake WILL give you power if it is properly designed. Just as an example I was dynoing a world challenge car last night and it gained 10hp with an intake. Properly tuning the length of the intake will give even more, on that car it will be upwards of 15hp. A properly designed intake on a GT will make about 10-12hp. Nobody makes an intake for the GT, you'll have to make your own, and it won't be easy. Read up. This post has been edited by SpedToe169: Aug 17, 2003 - 10:41 PM |
