Bump for my question above, what are all of you exhaust pipe ISR mod people doing to keep the intake from getting super hot?

 

Any thoughts/opinions on whether or not the ISR mod would be "worth it" if I were to keep the stock airbox? Just bought a drop-in for it and would like to keep it.

 

That's the whole (ok, maybe not whole but most) point of the ISR mod: retaining the protection from crud by using the stock aribox, and removing the obstructions in the intake tube itself.

 

Got it. Just saw a lot of cone filters and didn't know if that was considered the bottleneck that people were trying to get rid of...

 

im in the middle of a Buildup,lol,sas,rear disc swap and so much more,link is in my signature!

 

if your worried about heat some use header wrap. I just don't worry about it, the engine bay temp is what it is. If those using pvc don't have a problem, I don't think the temps get that high (unless it's hours idling in summer grid-lock). I've heated up pvc to bend it by sticking it in a tail pipe (us electricians will try anything) and it doesn't take too long. The exhaust gets a lot hotter than the engine bay IMO.

 

That's what I wanted to hear...thanks!

 

here's mine i made from an old civic intake. its not pretty but it works

whats a good non oiled filter? i bought my setup on ebay but the filter sucks and spills oil like the exon-valdes.

 

Toyota OEM filters are very good. I'm using a NAPA one right now, nothing bad to report, but I think I'm gonna go back to Toyota for the next one.

 

the toyota oem filter in the air box? i meant a cone filter.

 

Oh, my bad. Not too sure on any non oiled cone filters...

 

anyone else using a cone find that the oil seeps out and causes the maf to malfunction?

 

You have a VAFM, not a MAF. Two completly different air metering devices. Your Vafm should not be affected, but your TPS can be.

p.s stock is true cold air intake. Those cone filters reduce horsepower by sucking in hot engine bay air.

 

I would get an Amsoil Ea Cone filter. The best on the market for the application.

 

22RE Battery/Intake swap

$0



Heater duct from 79-83 Pickup, filter was snagged at the junkyard, AFM adapter is 2.5" exhaust tubing and 1/8" plate, and I had the wires and loom.

 

i didnt realize there was a difference, my haines manuel calls it a maf i'm pretty sure. anyways you recomend using the stock airbox setup with the isr mod?

 

That's typically how most people here seem to setup their ISR mod, because it's a matter of simply removing the intake silencer assembly and not the airbox as well.

 

have to post mine...

i plan on making a shield around it and drilling a hole in the wheelhousing to let it breath some nice fresh air...

 

Corragated tube. Great for smooth airflow.
