Default What intake are you using 4 stock twins?

Whats up guys, I installed a driftmotion intake kit on my 1jz in October 2010 and noticed a couple months ago that the glue that holds the filter in place has i guess melted due to the heat under the hood. Now my filter is sort of loose and I would like to replace it with something more reliable & of better quality.

I dont know if its because the filter is just cheap, or if the 1jz intake kit they have on driftmotion is mainly meant for mk4 supras and 1jz cressidas....but i think its because its cheap

I ran into the same problem.... well kinda. I just couldn't find any aftermarket air intake kits for the SC with a swap. I basically just made my own with a custom heatshield and a K&N cone filter. I first bought a 300 dollar Max AIR II intake from MVP for a MKIV but itdid not work with the SC at all, way too big.

That's because DM sells the same Chinese knock off **** as Ebay.

Put the heat shield back on and buy a real filter.

Autozone special piping tied to an Aristo intake hose here.



I am getting ready to do an aluminum hard pipe with silicon coupler since the Aristo hose is cracking.

Make it yourself using those universal intercooler kits off ebay. I'll post mine up in a lil while.

Oh and of course if you have leftover from your intake, you can do a complete frontmount

I think it was right around ~90 shipped plus another ~10 bucks for a can of Krylon flat black.

I bought the driftmotion one. The filter is the standard cheap china one, but it works fine. I removed mine and sprayed it out with compressed air and there was ALOT of dirt it had caught.

If I was doing it over again I'd instead buy some universal piping and run twin intakes from each turbo with 2 k/n filters.

I just bought a Simota brand air filter and the rubber they use is really good quality compared to other cheap filters Ive seen. I paid like $25 shipped for it
