Fujita vs Weapon-R vs TRD ?

[HammeredRooster]

I am trying to decide on an intake for my car but all of them claim to be better then the others. My tC is an 07. any suggestions?

[eatthecrayon]

Injen Bro

[iaminsider]

Injen is dyno proven to have the highest hp gains.

[BlackedouTC]

I like fujita an i have an 07 scion too had an injen an sold it for an fujita an wont go back

[asphaltrunner]

Same. I have a Fujita CAI (not the SRI). It's a pain to install, and it likes to rub against the metal in the engine bay....and it sounds bad ass.

[NFSAST]

"Injen is your only option for true dyno proven performance gains!!!!!!"

[g.monkey]

injen all the way bro, ive had it for four years and i love it.

[HammeredRooster]

lol, seems everyone likes the one i didnt put in the title. 4 - 2 on the intake.

[DeadCannon]

I've heard a few times that injen and fujita intakes are the same. I was told that some guys left injen and started fujita. Looking at the two parts side by side I could believe it. They are the only intakes I've seen that do the step down for the MAF.

Edit: Forgot to say that I have the injen intake. I've run it both SRI and CAI. I love the sound. I've been asked if I'm turboed before because of the whistle of air in the metal tubes.

[HammeredRooster]

Where is a good place to order one? As far as do we have any sponsers or anywhere to get a little bit of a discount? I found some on Ebay for about 265 but most websites are 299. I dont like ordering from ebay unless I have to...

[DeadCannon]

I got my injen for 265 from jscspeed.com in may of last year.

Went to check the price and it looks like they don't carry the injen or fujita.

[HammeredRooster]

The cheapest I have found is direct from injen and its 279.99. Does anyone know if we get a discount from them or what the coupon code would be?

[fallentc]

in all honestly they are all good. but personal reference id say go with wat you want. injen yes has dyno proven. and so has weapon-r. if your going to do a intake manifold swap and use weapon-r's I.M. then get the S.W.I. from them. the down side i will say is i would get the air box for it. for performance wise yes, for look no. the box will help get just cold air.

but like i said. go with what you want. and look at numbers too b4 buying. u never kno.

Dr. out

[HammeredRooster]

I am probably looking more for looks then performance. I liked the weapon-R but the headers m.s.r.p. is $600. I dont have or even want to spend that kind of money on just one part. also, from what i have read, on the headers i will probably go w/DC Sports. They are the only one with the bracket on the bottom that still mounts up like the stock header. I hear some of the others move a little and could cause the engine weld to break

[E-Dub]

I'm with Hammered, I'm looking for a Injen CAI. I have a 2010 tC, and the only injen CAI's i have seen are on ebay for about $300. I'm wondering if any shops that sponsor scikotics and have a discount on CAI's...

[06silvertc]

TRD makes the same noise, atleast it does on mine....i definately like the TRD never had try others ones and never will....

[Rogue Dragon]

The Weapon R Secret Weapon SRI is the sh@@!!!!!!!!! I have it and I love it.

[ScIkO*FaErY]

fujita FTW i had one on my 08 it also makes that sweet whistling sound

as for headers weapon r mmw are THE BEST i had them also
BUT if you wanna try and search for a Tsudo header is a replica of the mmw
theyre just hard to find since weapon r sued them cuz of it
but they cost ALOT less :)

[A Retarded Kid]

Injen

[Rogue Dragon]

Weapon R Secret Weapon SRI also makes a sweet whistling sound.

[TRD-71]

My 2cents...Fujita hands down!

[The_Butcher]

My 2cents...Fujita hands down!

you don't have 2cents... :rofl: JK


So, I thought that most all CIA and SHI where about the same.. what makes one have better HP gain than another?

[charlie07tC]

I like my fujita, got it brand new on e-bay for $150, love that or best offer option . The rubbing on the hole the cai feeds through can be eliminated with the doc-I panel.

[cliff]

Weapon R SW SRI hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HammeredRooster]

Ok, short ram vs cold air? what are the gains and losses? I considered the Weapon R s.r.i. for a while but then started this to see what everyone likes. Which one would allow more air? and is it possible to give it too much air?

it means something. injen is the one. oh, and their exhaust aint too bad either

youre gonna get about the same amount of air, but the cold air is better for your performance, short ram will give you hotter air. its not enough to notice a big difference. i have the injen intake and you can run it either short ram or cold air. any time you have a cold air intake you want to get a hydroshield or bypass valve to avoid hydro-locking your shit. and the too much air thing, ive heard different things. too much cant hurt, too much can hurt, so i dont know.

[Rogue Dragon]

Check out this link about the Weapon R SRI. Also, the Weapon R has a better air filter. http://weapon-r.com/english/index.php?main_page=page&id=31&chapter=0

[DeadCannon]

I'm no expert but my guess is that you aren't going to over load your MAF with out being boosted. However much airflow you gain with an intake should be easily compinsated for by the ecu.

[Tim@TRDSparks]

We sell Fujita, Injen and TRD on our website. We can offer great prices on the Injen for you. Just PM if you are intersted in any of these!

[HammeredRooster]

i am, and speak of the devil, one of those $100 giftcards would greatly help my cause on this one!

[Tim@TRDSparks]

haha I wish I could help out with the raffle, but the least I can do is help with pricing on Injen for you. TRD and Fujita are pretty set in stone for pricing!

[Tim@TRDSparks]

I will add to, I have had an Injen intake on the wife's TC for a year and a half now. It has worked like a champ and she loves it to death! Speaking of which I better clean that filter!

[HammeredRooster]

Thanks for all of the input so far guys. I think I am going to order the Injen one now. How much of a problem is the hydro-locking?
How much is a Hydroshield for one?

[ScIkO*FaErY]

hydrolocking is pretty uncommon
you dont need the hydrosheild or any of that crap
because unless youre gonna be driving thru a lake
and completely sumbmerging your filter youre not gonna have any problems
ive driven through some damn nasty rain/snow storms with nothing protecting my filter
and been fine

[HammeredRooster]

I do drive ALOT but I am very careful when its rainging... That reminds me, I need to find a fuse block cover.

[ScIkO*FaErY]

but yea dont waste youre money on a hydroshield...
unless ur taking the tC swimming its pointless :)

[limitlessbcp]

yea no need to buy a hydro shield unless you really are that paranoid..and if you are you probably shouldn't be running a CAI in the first place. lol

[MeatRocket]

no issues, i have had my injen cai for almost 4 yrs with no issues. the last 2 yrs with the kami kit. the filter is more exposed to the rain ,dirt with the body kit.

basically the filter is visible from the one hole in the bumper(you cant see it in pic.)

[g.monkey]

ihad the "i dont need a hydro shield" attitude too, until i hit a deceiving puddle and was taking apart my intake in a gas station parking lot. better safe than sorry.

[ScIkO*FaErY]

thats why you avoid the puddles silly lol

[E-Dub]

does scikotics have any sponsors that sell CAI's, specifically the Injen?

[ScIkO*FaErY]

just trdsparks.com i think

[rstc120]

ya im going to order the black injen intake from TRDsparks.com. they seem to have the best deal on it that i can find, but im with 2010BSPtC on the $100 giftcard. LOL jk

[HammeredRooster]

my girlfriends xB has a C.A.I. on it and it also has the other bypass filter piece but it still stucks up water and stalls out. I didnt put it in so I am not sure what was done wrong. Hers is lowered and so is my tC. I guess next time it rains I will drive around and then see how wet it is in the hole where the filter goes

[Tim@TRDSparks]

Let us know if you guys ever want to order Injen. We can get some great deals on the Injen intakes.

We sell Fujita, Injen & TRD intakes for the TC!

[HammeredRooster]

I have about $200 rounded up so far. I am hopeing I can get the rest and have it ordered by Monday

[E-Dub]

Tim i'll keep in touch with you, im wanting a brand new injen for my baby

[HammeredRooster]

Ok, Injen it is. I got it ordered this morning and hopefuly it will be in next week.

Thanks for the help Tim and I am looking through some of the other stuff you carry. I will definatly be ordering from you agian.

[g.monkey]

thats why you avoid the puddles silly lol

hey now, it was more like a lake, unavoidable!
