Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance TPR intake

Where can I buy TPR intake and do you need a bypass valve for this intake?

bypass valve isnt always needed. I would say get one if you live where it rains a lot and if you plan on getting the CAI not the SRI. Also, with TPR i am not sure if they have a bypass valve for that intake yet.

Many people have said the bypass valve doens't work for our cars. But you really wont need one with TPR as I believe it converts to a Short Ram Intake within minutes. It's the only intake for the celica that is the best of both worlds.

oh really thats crazy..so where can i order one? I really want this intake

from what i have read. there is along wait. so get in line i guess. i am waiting to see where i can get it also.:( really need aone but i am willing to wait...

^^^can't remember what you said 'bout what the new shop is using for materials. guess plastic is out, so, is it aluminum or steel? any info on paint, been thinkin' 'bout red...

maybe it's just me..but i still don't understand the value of it

hope its a good intake for you

The value of the intake? Well it is cheaper than almost all the intakes out for the celica, AND it is the ONLY intake that has absolutely no bogging or CEL problems. Maybe I misunderstood what you said...

how much of a HP difference does this intake make?? anybody know?

will the TPR EVER be CARB legal? If so, when do you think?

lol you didn't misunderstand.

what i mean is...there is practically no proof of what power gains it has and even the power gains aren't proven (what..2 dynos, maybe? and aren't they making the next batch out of a new material?)

my point is only to say that if you buy a tpr intake..buy it because it's cheaper or that it 'looks good'. saying it outperforms others or 'doesn't bog' is a little unfounded right now.

tpr probably is a good intake, but it's not proven. i like chris, i like his work..my hope is that he does indeed outperform aem and injen (it can't be that hard too..it's not like their pieces of art). just saying its unproven to say anything peformance wise about it.

according to his dynos injens still makes more peak HP than the tpr but has better low end

lol there were 3 dyno runs of each intake tested under the same conditions with a celica member present.

The injen had .5 more peak hp up top (however it was for about 200-300 rpm).

I wouldnt say injen had better top end

Was that the old intake or the new one? I mean, the plastic one or the metal one? The material will have a bearing on the readings, won't it?

the new ones will be made of metal as well...and if you saw the TPR intake that i dynoed...you would wonder how it made the power...it was all beat to shit lol.
