The silicone joiner is a step down design. Looks like at just before 6mins, the joiner is on in the wrong direction. But it’s corrected later in the vid. Did your kit come with the small rubber hose piece that goes on the end of right angle plastic oil breather connector? Performance wise, the intake air temps are the same as the stock airbox, I’m in Australia, so no carbon pad in the airbox. I felt performance is the same as standard, but the sound is so much better and louder so you can hear the motor on road. Standard air intake is too quiet to hear above 100kph, makes it hard to rev match when braking with the fake sound box switched off. Low rpm’s, the box can buzz on the bonnet a bit, especially with a 2000rpm rev match throttle stab. So I’ve added some foam padding between the radiator sill and bonnet to adsorb those vibrations.
Do these engines require tuning for mods like this, the same way the turbo engines do? EJ STi's for example can't have a single mod that affects air or fuel without a tune or it _will_ blow the engine, eventually. a cat-back exhaust or drop in panel filter are the only things you can do without a tune for those.. even a short ran intake, like this one would cause major problems for STi's. I'm not sure how the FA's are, especially N/A. I'd be curious to see a tuners thoughts with the car on a dyno.
A turbo doesn’t need a tune either, my brothers Supra is full bolt on, no tune yet and zero issues. This car doesn’t need a tune either. STI’s are just funky how they work!
The Supra does not have a MAF so upgrading the intake does not matter. These Subaru motors tend to run lean typically when you add an intake with no tune. I can only speak for the Turbo model but I have a 2022 wrx as well which has an FA24 turbo and you cannot run it without a Cobb stage 1 tune at least.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Don't you see those 3 lights on the GR86's rear bumper under the rear license plate? There are 2 white lights on each side and a red light in the middle. As usual, the white lights are the reverse lights and the red light in the middle is where the rear fog light would be at. In Europe, rear fog lights are mandatory for bad visibility in fog and in the rain, but some vehicles have one reverse light instead of two. Take the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara for example. The 4 lights in the rear are normal such as the parking lights, brake lights and turn signals. However, the two lights are abnormal such as a white light on the passenger's side tail light and a red light on the driver's side tail light. Believe it or not, the red light on the driver's side tail light is the rear fog light! Same goes for the 2007 Subaru Impreza Hatchback. Am I right?
@@BrokenAdam770 Why did you ask if I am going to install some then? You can’t keep comparing cars outside the USA, different countries and different regulations.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed the car has fake engine noise piped into the speakers, I thought I could hear it in your video, very very easy to unplug (TH-cam it). Then you will get a more raw experience with your engine mods.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed if you disconnect it you will hear more of the intake sound. I might be doing that intake, that sound amazing. However, I am doing the HKS supercharger, so have to see if it will fit…
@@TheDiskinsDoEverything I will definitely look into that and probably make a video on it! Curious to see the difference since I have the upgraded intake! Not sure how the supercharger fits either! But that will be cool!
@@jaydenfajardo833 Yeah I’m not too sure. I can only go off my experience with it. brosfourrspeed.com/parts-%26-merchandise/ols/products/mst-2022-toyota-gr86subaru-brz-24l-cold-air-intake-system
Did you get nicer sound? Yes. Did you get the impression of power? Yes. Did you get 8 HP as you claim? No, no & NO. (you got 1, maybe 2 HP). For more power you need headers & re-mapping.
Is that from your personal experience? No one is adding an intake to necessarily gain power. But my itself it can add some, but no it won’t be very noticeable. I never said it would..
@@BrosFOURRSpeedThat comes from extensive tests in Australia, USA & Europe (pls. read about it at "Engineering Explained" - tests done with Subaru engine)
Keep in mind we are talking about an 86. Slow car regardless lol. Needs a turbo or supercharger to gain real power. But with a tune the intake will add even more power then by itself.
You did NOT get ANY additional power - there are multiple Dyno tests (US, Australia...) What you GOT is additional / deeper sound - and you immediately think you are Michael Schumacher. Please do NOT put any additional video about cars - you do NOT know what are you talking about...
Calm down lol. However we've seen N/A cars gain a few HP with an intake. Especially once you tune the ECU, you can gain more power with the benefits from an intake
I'm calm... now you are talking ECU tuning. Tune the same car with OEM intake and you will get the similar results. We are NOT getting significant power with aftermarket intakes!!! Well known companies improved OEM intakes well, well, well
I liked the video, please provide more.... I think it's a given that cai don't really provide any more power, however, I'm looking for that deeper sound that this provides. Plus, I like the idea of the bigger air box and straight line tube into the intake. Seems like a better design than stock and gives the deeper growl....I like it, thanks for the video!
Nice mod and sounds good! Guessing no CEL? Have read about issues from early installs when it first came out about the kit throwing a CEL.
Nope, haven’t had any issues!!

sounds great! can't wait for the exhaust. Any possibility of a comparison video between the 86 and a BRZ/why you picked the 86?
Made a video kind of like that awhile back! Just a Toyota fan! th-cam.com/video/9Ils2bQrcVA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_HSYJMRTVrz0tlih
Mine arrived today. Thankyou for such a clear and helpful installation video.
Oh cool! We have plenty more GR86 part son our website!
Great content, bud! I may reconsider my next mod 🎉
This intake is sweet! I'm very happy with it! We have them on our site and they ship quick!
Always wondered if you would need a tune after installing a CAI? I been getting mixed thoughts, even though some products says “no tune required”
You generally don’t need a tune for an intake install, I didn’t tune this car and it ran great!

@@jakejohnson2389 Yeah I’ve heard that for the turbo Subaru engines. But the 86 NA motor seems to run fine with no tune and the intake.
Perhaps the 86 has a lower center of gravity with the flat 4, compared to the Supra. The result could be better handling than that car.
It’s smaller for sure! I would say handles better but really hard to tell!
Has the check engine light come on with the new intake?
Nope! It’s been fine since the install!
Mind if you install a rear fog light on your Toyota GR86?
No I don’t need to do that! I know that’s what you are used to seeing where you live, but I don’t need those.

Night & day difference! Probably another 7hp

has CEL went on ever since installation ?
Nope. Never had an issue with it. Really happy with this kit

I didn’t, went off the dyno specs from MST.
Nice vid, invest in a good mic setup though
I do lol! Have one of the best you can buy..

It not worth it a carbon delete give about 10 hp also you probably lost some torque with that design
It didn’t loose any power, why would you think that?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I said you lost torque and not hp
The rubber sealing are a crap, really bad, absolute unprofessional.
Lots of companies and products use that.
What’s your idea for a different solution to that?
This engine sounds terrible
Sounds like a 4 cylinder to me..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah Its hard to enjoy these new ones especially comparing the k20/24 or a 4AGE
