Yes I did one on mine, not really sure if it made much performance difference, but it sounded sportier for sure.

I want to put a ram air induction from that same panel you've used, but obviously would need a FMIC or else the side intercooler isn't going to get any decent air.

I wouldn't have made it with tubes, instead cut up some cardboard cut to shape and then fibreglass when it suits.

It's a big ish project and something for my future.

On a NA 1.5L charade I had a tube like yours from my frontbar ram air induction into my panel filtered airbox and used a resister in the intake air temp sensor line so it read about 5c colder than it really was so that it was a slight bit more fuelly all throughout.

I easily gained a lot of power by removing the stock (incredibly restrictive) and then a bit more as i picked up speed. It really improved throttle response and top end power. It became a little asthmatic when previously driving it. The baffles and small intake kept the engine quiet.

I don't think that's such a huge problem or restriction on the jzz31. The design of the car is totally different.

So Seems like the Pods on the V8's don't do any good, is it to do with the airflow being more smooth with the BFI?

Well boris, I don't know but I have a theory.

Everyone grossly underrates how good the stock toyota panel filter flows.

As for how it runs worse? I'm even more stumped.
