Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior K&N Typhoon short intake

Some guys have all the luck

K&N needed democars (1 'normal' and 1 T-sport) over here for the Typhoon SI kit. They mailed our dutch Celica club if we could help them with these 2 models. They needed the cars for the pictures and manual because the European kit is slightly different from the US one. You have one sensor more than we have.

did you get to keep an intake?

wow, they actually mailed a letter to your Celica Club? you guys must be a big organization, the Celica Mafia

Yep, the intake on the picture is still on my car

K&N has an office in the UK and Holland. So they do a lot of testing over here for the European market.

Our dutch Celica Club has approx. 240 member. Don't know if you think that's big, but for a small country like ours thats big.

wow, two hundred and forty members? i can imagine the celica meets, assuming of course all are active participants...

That Typhoon is a bit expensive though innit... I was looking at one last week until they mailed me the price. Here's the answer I got:

"Our MSRP for this kit is 237.80 plus v.a.t. but it is only suited to US vehicle spec"

What was that you said about 1 more sensor? does this mean I will have problems if I get a TPR shortram for my UK Celi?

Too bad they all aren't. There are just a few really active members...



You won't have problems.
Look at the second picture. In de inner bend you'll see the connction of that extra sensor we simply don't use.
If the kit is expensive I don't know. Got it for free
It's officially not for sale at this moment in Europe. But in a few weeks it will be. That why they say it's for US Celi's only.
