Beams VVTi induction Kts - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #16114 5 posts Started by Gerry
Anyone know if there's anyone's available for this engine
The only aftermarket intake for the BEAMs I've seen in real life was this HKS setup I spied on an SSIII last year, but it's not really a full kit. Even though the stock inlet pipe coming from the fender is still there, I'd think this would suffer from a lot of heatsoak.

However K&N have an induction kit for the 2.0L 6th Gen Celica (94-99): click here The pdf instruction sheet on that site has pics of the celica and how to install the kit.
ya i see what you mean about the heat soak. and its in a place where you can't really put a heat shield.. any websites where they sell that kit
that engine is intake hungry....flow needs to be perfect over the MAF

TRD makes a 'trumpet' of sorts for their scion TC supercharger kit, which is a good thing to get yourself if you are gonna make yourself a cold-air-intake...but yeah, i would put the air inlet far away from that engine compartment.
My BEAMS gets pretty hot, then again i live in the tropics as well, but im thinking of putting the intake somewhere up front, with a good (very large) K&N airfilter...

good example:

that same billzilla guy has something similar he made with a bundle of drinking straws to correct the flow over the MAF

I'll make some pics when i build my own....

quick-edit: rest of the AE86+BEAMS http://www.billzilla.org/AE863SGE.htm scroll down for the intake
