Hi, my name is Andrew.

 

I reasonably new to the forum so excuse the ignorance. I have recently bought a 1994 Toyota Corolla Seca (yes I realise that this is slightly newer than the cars this forum is built around, however I am hoping that you might all still be willing and able to help.)

 

I have been thinking about installing a Cold Air Intake over the holidays for some entertainment. However after some research on the topic I still have some questions. Firstly I understand that the more expensive filter, the better filtration and life span. However I was wondering if it is recommended to fork out the cash and buy a brand name such as K & N or will a cheaper filter do the job.

 

Secondly I was wondering what to do with the sensors located in the stock filter box, as obviously this will be removed when installing the CAI.

 

Thanks Andrew. :)

saas are very good pod filters

 

i do hope your not talking about removing the air flow meter?

where are you located mate?

i have a trade account at autobarn and could get you a k&n filter for a lot cheaper

 

eg. retail on the filter i bought $149.99 - on sale price $70 - trade account price $62

 

if you or anyone is in brisbane i don't mind checking prices and getting them better prices, cheers

nah, he's talking about the air temp sensor in the filter box. i'd try to keep it.

 

maybe mod the filter box to pipe cold air to it, and use a performance panel filter.

oh, i see :)

 

they make performance panel filters?

i thought they all flowed like wet socks haha

That sounds like the one :) . I would prefer to completely remove the stock filter box however if possible. Is there any other way of fitting the sensor, for example drilling a hole in the custom piping (once installed) and fitting in the temp sensor that way?

try this m8 if it helps
