Intake

What intake will give my 91 mr2 turbo the best results?

Apexi

Although I recommend the K&N. The Apexi does not give that much better results and the K&N has a number of different sizes that you can change to later and they are easy to clean/resuse.

thanks once again Jeff, I dunno what id do without you

Apexi > KNN by a small margin, KNN is carb legal tho...

Apexi > KN

... actually, to be accurate ...

Apexi Intake Kit for MR2 > K&N Intake Kit for MR2 (by a small margin).

I suspect, my K&N filter choice drastically alters that equation :D

After viewing a couple sites i came across the K&N filterinjection or just the air filter, neither was the intake im familiar with. Which one would I want to get?

Ahem...

What intake will give my 91 mr2 turbo the best results?

And yes, your filter is bigger than mine... damn AFM...

NJMR2, if you have the AFM (most likely) you need to by the K&N FIPK for the MR2 turbo. This includes: the cone filter, the bracket to hold the filter onto the car and the adapted to get the filter onto the AFM.

Lachean, I actually had a larger K&N on my AFM.
The one that comes with the FIPK is 4.5" long X 6" taper to 5" tall IIRC. I bought a replacement filter for it that was 10" long X 6" tapers to 5". :D

BFF's rule :)

What about the Blitz or HKS?

The HKS is garbage.
I do not know about the Blitz.

yo jekyl can you check out my other thread titled help ?

oh , why is it garbage? Supposidly the blitz is good but i dont want to waste $190 to find out if its true or not. However, I hear good things about there exhaust.

does anybody here have the apexi intake kit install in their mr2? i was just wondering because i installed mine, and it looked kind of funny. what i meant by that is, the filter did not fit perfectly, and so i have to twist my afm alittle to change the position of the filter to make it fit. i only used 1 bracket to hold the intake from swaying back and forth. the apexi kit comes with 2 brackets, but i couldn't make the other one fit. the space is just too tight. is it ok if i used only 1 bracket? its the one where it holds the filter in place vertically. the other bracket holds the filter horizontally. i don't know if 1 bracket is gonna hold. i didn't know changing airfilter on a mr2 can be so hard. anyone with any kind of info to as how i can improved my filter locations would be much appreciated. one more thing, my intake pipe has to be push alittle back in order for the bracket to be bolted in place.

yeah i installed one on mine...

if you got the right kit it will fit perfectly... i'd take some pics but some ass stole my camera...and my g/f's car... will try and get some pics up for you some time though, both brackets fit no problems, trick is not to tighten them up till you have them in place.. you do need to rotate the AFM clockwise round that elbow, should sit in the space that the "cow stomach" intake resonator/expansion tank sits...

mine could probably do with a clean so if i pull it out i'll try and get some pics for you.... oh, and i've been very happy with it's performance

kool. pics would be excellent. thanks.

The HKS is garbage for 2 reasons:
1. It doesn't filter well at all (which is what you want from a filter :) )
2. The foam can fall apart and get sucked into your engine.

The major filters have been tested on the MR2 years ago. The HKS was the worst for letting junk through.

this helps so much. thanks.

here soon i'll be able to offer a air intake kit for the MR2s -- will have a filter similar in size to Jeffs but can be used with the AFM + get rid of the OEM intake piping -- we will also offer a version for non/AFM as well (gen3 or gen2)

Sounds interesting Mister3!

Yep, I would like to see them as well!

i should be able to get the AFM style prototype pipes done in a week or 2 -- the final version will be a "production piece" and will also have a upgrade for AFM-less or gen3 models

have already test fitted these and have the jig almost finished -- will be a slick liiking piece for sure ;)

Sweet, sounds nice!
