Jimmy Yang Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Hey guys, I currently owned a 99 GS300. Just finished installing a intake kit bought from eBay on my GS. Took it for a spin and seems like it surely gets a lot more air into the system. Would that cause a problem in the A/F mixture? Any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a bunch! Jimmy Yang

djspawn00 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 What kind of intake? Seems like it? How? Sound, performance?
djspawn00 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 A little bird told me that without a piggyback ecu you may trip your CEL light and there will be no power gains w/o some type of management system.
Jimmy Yang Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Sorry, no pic yet. Got it from eBay though. I'm sure if you go there, it'll still be in there. Bought it for $21.99 plus shipping :whistles: I guess an A/F guage would help me determine whether my mixture is lean or rich. If it triggers the CEL, can I removed the negative terminal of the battery to reset the CEL?

djspawn00 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I don't think you'll would run rich as the GS sensors are quick to learn and correct fuel ratios. Worse case scenario is you lose a few HP (intake less shielded from engine heat) for the trade off of a better sound.

Jimmy Yang Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 dcfish, it sound like you hit it right on target. it's a short intake with a cone on it. I suppose what I need next would be an exhaust system. I like a good look system with good sound but not loud. Any suggestion?

Jimmy Yang Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 I would love to get a turbo kit for this but it'll be my daily driven vehicle so I don't think it will do good with gas putting a turbo on. I notice the spaces on the engine that could fit a nice turbo but that is too much for now :D I'm thinking about getting an MR2 Turbo as my weekend car as I use to have one but had to ditch it for a 4 door. :chairshot: Got pic of my x-MR2 at http://www.angelfire.com/extreme3/wmr2oc
