I saw the injen short ram intake on horsepower freaks.com and it was labeled as a 93-98 supra non-turbo but I was wondering if it would work on a turbo supra engine equally well. If it makes any difference it is the body of a non-turbo with a turbo supra engine swap in it. thanks!!!:thumbup:

What year supra do you have??
I doubt that the intake is exactlly the same. Not to mention that you have a turbo in there. Plus I think you have an MKIV I have an MKIII. Being that I don't have your model..., I can not say for certain.
I bet Nick will have an idea.

Do you have any pics of your ride??
No problem. Glad to help.

How about posting up a link or some more specific info for the next person who needs to know? ;)

Unless you changed fuel and/or engine managemanet from stock, if you have a USDM turbo motor swap it uses a MAF for intake airflow measurement and that is critical for proper a/f control. If you have a JDM turbo motor swap, you have a MAP sensor for a/f control. If you have a NA motor, I'm almost positive it uses Karmann vortex device intake airflow measurement. So if an intake is made to fit one, I bet it won't be nearly optimum fit or airflow for the other.

I modified the stock intake. So I am interested in seeing how it works.
I am looking for a way to build a port into the cover underneath the passenger head lamp.
If I can find a way to add a scoop there and it stick, I should be able to run just fine.
My engine just loved the cold night driving. I need a head lamp cover with a scoop on it.
I have to route the cold air to the filter. To me an fipk set up is just going to suck in more warm engine air. I think you would feel a difference.
But I think I can come up with something. Might have to try a turbonater, lol.

i have my supra on Ride Judge.com, this is the link to my homepage. as i say on the website, it looks stock but has around +80hp above the stock engine, mainly done by resetting when the turbos spool-up and re mapping the fuel as well as exhaust http://www.ridejudge.com/RideDetails.asp?RideID=42179

You're right, the N/A MKIV does use a KV AFM.

Congrats, it looks like you have a nice Supra.
I'm not sure what kind of mods you are describing, maybe your lingo is just different than what I am familiar with. I'd like to hear more of what you did. I'm sure you are familiar with the well documented mods described at www.mkiv.com look in the FAQ and tech articles
While some people fantasize about increased power from things like TTC true twin conversion, in my experience TTC sucks since all it does is delay the spool up of the turbos by spooling them up together instead of starting with just #1. I hated TTC, and I've never seen or heard of a reliable report of any extra power with TTC. With the stock twin turbos there is no way ....did I say NO WAY... to get any extra power by "resetting whe the turbos spool-up" or by doing any of the TTC type mods to make them spool up together. In fact, the factory sequential setup spools up faster than any other setup and once both turbos are on, the power is the same no matter how else you spooled them up; ie, they move a certain amount of air and that is all the power you can make with them. Now if you get rid of the factory boost cut feature with a Greddy BCC, you can boost higher than stock boost and that is the route to higher power with the stock turbos. Instead of boosting to only 11 to 14psi or so like stock, on pump gas you can boost to say 17 or 18psi and get in the neighborhood of close to 400whp. Exhaust is definitely a route to more power, but you have to either remove the cats with a full downpipe (the most power) or at least get low restriction cats; adding just a catback exhaust to the factory cat setup will not make more power since the factory catback is not the restriction in the exhaust, the cats are. As far as remapping the fuel, normal BPU setup MkIV Supras run rich, so if you can remove some fuel there is some power to be had.
