Nandeyanen 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2021 I noticed when I bought my car recently that it had an aftermarket intake fitted. I've been trying to find out but there isn't anything obvious on it that I can identify it with. Looking at products online it might be a Mishimoto intake? I'd also appreciate any thoughts on whether or not I should put it back to stock. I'd need to buy an intake as the car didn't come with the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted April 17, 2021 Don't know it, but i'd never think of getting such. Shiny metal may look good, but = heat soak. AFAIK Mishimoto's inlet tubes were plastic and were for use with stock airfilter box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will300 812 Report post Posted April 17, 2021 It might be worth removing the jubilee clip's and rotating the silicone to see if there is any mishimoto branding on the silcone coupler. 3 hours ago, Nandeyanen said: I'd also appreciate any thoughts on whether or not I should put it back to stock.

The main issue with that type of intake, is you need to remove the bumper each time you service the car to clean/replace the filter element. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRZ-123 174 Report post Posted April 17, 2021 If it ain't broken don't try to fix it will be my advise. @will300 s advise is sound, turn it around to see the brand. Also there is a chance that the ECU might be remapped after the intake change, Pull the cruise control lever towards the steering and have a look if the rev needle sticks to 1000, 2000, 3000 0r 4000 revs. If yes, it has been remapped and i will not change the intake unless you want to flash the tune back to stock as well.

Nandeyanen 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2021 Thanks everyone for your feedback, I had a closer look at the silicone coupling and it says Mishimoto on it. I'm not sure about a remap, I have pulled the cruise control stalk whilst driving but didn't notice any change. Should I have tried this with the ignition on/engine off or ignition off?

Shippers 30 Report post Posted April 20, 2021 If it has been remapped you can do it when parked up and just turn the engine on. In neutral let the car idle then pull the cruise control stork for 2-3 seconds. If its been remapped the rev counter will move to 1k, 2k, 3k or 4k to indicate which map its in (most remaps have 4 settings). With the engine still on and car in neutral, pushing the cruise control stork up or down should see the rev counter needle move. Pulling the stork again will select that map. Hope that helps.

MartinT 514 Report post Posted April 20, 2021 You can even do it while driving, as long as you're not in cruise control. In my case, I'm careful not to move it to '4' as it's an immobiliser setting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will not switch on as the start up fueling is set to zero . With a running engine, it should not immobilise as it is very risky if a user error happens.

That's a handy tip for anyone looking at or having bought a car - thanks! I've given this a try but no result, so I'm guessing it hasn't been mapped. The only other obvious mod is a P3 vent gauge. The intake sounds nice and raspy on full throttle but I wonder if not having the resonator is making it slightly less responsive - or if the infamous torque dip is to blame.
