Cold Air Intake 4 Mk3

Supra2NR · 05-07-2006, 02:53 PM

i tried to make myself a cold air intake system , evertthing was godd escept i cant atke out the airbox which basically ruins it for me i got the pipe where you can jus put the O2 sensor in and it all should be alright but one problem, it was made for toyotas 98 and up, now i was jus wondering if i buy a 98 up O2 sensor from a dealership and do they have the same amount of wires so i can jus simply remove the old sensor and put it in so i can complete my project or will this ruin the stock system on an 88 mk3 n/a
if possible tho what car would have similar wirings as a supra

The item in the photos is NOT an 02 sensor. It is the Mass Air Flow sensor. Your car won't run without it. It is a calibrated part. If it ever fails, you (probably) can use one from a different year.

02 sensor is in the exhaust manifold.

sorry about the confusion im new to this engine, but do i have any aftermarket options to remove the whole thing? does it restrict my airflow , and if it does what year and which car can i borrow parts from , and would it giv me the straight pipe that i want?

LOL.
You're stuck with the AFM. Unfortunately the car won't run without it, or extensive other mods (read: standalone)
It's easy to work around, so I don't know why it's a big deal. Just put the piping on the adapter that your filter bolts to, then clamp the filter on the end of the piping somewhere behind the fog light.

sorry kinda confused , can i jus bypass the afm , its not really a big deal to me , but i just one of those people that if its factory its not good enough for me he he , dunno why but i jus hav this obsession, that i want everything perfect

i hace pics on top, so what do you think with the temporary solution that i did you think thats good enough for now?

mrnickleye · 05-09-2006, 02:33 AM

Well, I always wondered if you could put the AFM straight onto the throttlebody using a short hose. Then you could run a 4" CAI to the AFM intake side with a step down adaptor like the ones I saw at PepBoys and AutoZone that come with those cheap cone filters (1 size fits all).

And like said above, put the filter behind the headlight/fog light. Or even in front of the a/c condensor/intercooler.

those pipes from pepbys are 4 inches??, seriously, thats the one that i got installed from nopw since im tryin to find my solution to have my tru cold air intake, theyre decent from now , since the jackass that sold me a car had a unsealed black ceramick piping as an intake, and when i told him, about that he jus said its ok since im not boosting

You can NOT run your car without a AFM any more than you can run it without a throttle body, spark plugs, pistons....it is an integral part of the operation of a Fuel injection system.

Hey I dont like how radiator clutters up the front of my engine compartment...can someone tell me how I can bypass this device?

see how silly that sounds?

Paint it, polish it, wrap it in Carbon fiber...whatever floats your boat...but Im afraid your stuck with it.

theWeezL · 05-18-2006, 02:36 AM

not to mention the simple fact that an O2 sensor goes in your exhaust, not your intake....

tell me somthing that i dunt know, if u were paying any attention to the thread all of those issues have been solved already , so get wit the program, he mention moving the afm by the throttle body, all i wanna know now is if the afm can work upside down because the wire isnt long enough for me to put it right side up , so if u cant help me with that question, dont try to tell me something that i already know, no offense bub, but damn , read the posts first k?
