eBay Intake on 2008 tC
#42
there are many things that factor in when computing hp like amb. temp. engine temp. elevation... so if 4 intakes were tested on the same car one right after another over the period of a couple hours then the first one might make more hp than the last one.

Thats right. . . . Heat makes a big difference. As heat rises and the intake gets hotter HP is reduced, if u test on a cold engine HP will be higher. Theres a lot to factor in. U cant always listen to the big companys either, they may say an intake can make up to, say. . . . . . 5-8 HP but it may not be accurate. Like i said the only thing that would make a real difference between intakes is the filter.

I know that heat is a factore. hell just get the ebay intake. Size, filter, cold or short ram air are all factores in whp. hp doesnt mean any thing. But ebay is fine if it breaks then it does u only paided 40$ if that.

For anyone who is interested, I got my Fujita CIA for my 08 tC for only $190 shipped today. Fits great and sounds great! Here is the post of the guy who is offering them. I think he is a Fujita rep or something like that. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...574&highlight=
