AMS Performance Carbon Fiber Air Intake Kit for A90 / A91 Toyota GR Supra [AMS.38.08.0001-1]

AMS Performance Carbon Fiber Air Intake Kit for A90 / A91 Toyota GR Supra [AMS.38.08.0001-1]

The AMS Performance Toyota GR Supra Carbon Fiber Air Intake Kit is engineered to deliver a higher volume of cold air to the stock turbocharger, replacing the factory plastic filter box and intake tube with motorsport-grade matte carbon fiber components and a dry media air filter. This intake system offers a substantial upgrade over the OEM setup, with AMS’s SnailWorks Engineering Team confirming a 25% improvement in airflow efficiency through extensive R&D testing.

The Power of Focused Engineering

• Primarily an engineering company, AMS Performance has established a decades-long reputation as a premier manufacturer of high-performance motorsports aftermarket components. Their commitment to meticulous engineering design has resulted in the creation of superior parts that outperform competitors. This engineering prowess is evident in the MKV Supra Carbon Fiber Air Intake, which stands as the epitome of well-designed intake systems available in the market. At the core of this intake system lies the sealed cold air intake box, the largest component. The proficient SnailWorks Engineering Team understands that excessive heat is a significant power-detracting factor, which often plagues inferior intake system designs. To combat this, they meticulously designed the air box to effectively seal out the blistering temperatures present in the engine bay. Furthermore, they capitalized on the existing intake ducting of the Supra, which directs fresh air into the intake box, by meticulously designing an air box opening that seamlessly aligns with the air duct. However, the engineering team did not stop there, as they continued to explore further improvements.
• During their meticulous examination of the remaining system components, they discovered further opportunities for design enhancements. Notably, the intake piping has been enlarged to 90mm to facilitate improved airflow and to ensure compatibility with larger aftermarket turbo compressor cover inlets in the future. This significant modification results in a substantial 26.5% increase in cross-sectional area compared to the factory system, which suffers from flow-reducing corrugations and narrows down to 65mm at the compressor cover inlet. Whether you intend to retain the stock turbo or opt for an aftermarket unit, this intake system provides a comprehensive solution that caters to both scenarios.

The Difference Is In The Details

• Installation of their intake system is a breeze, requiring no cutting, trimming, or removal of additional components. With basic hand tools, it can be effortlessly installed within minutes! What’s more, it comes equipped with a purpose-built, reusable synthetic high-flow dry media filter, eliminating the need to continuously purchase low-quality factory paper filters in the future. The “Dry Media” filter lives up to its name, sparing you the hassle of messy oiling that comes with traditional filters. This feature further solidifies their intake system as the premier choice on the market. The washable MKV Supra synthetic media filter is meticulously designed and manufactured to perfectly fit this high-performance automotive application. The filter size and configuration have been meticulously fine-tuned to ensure it delivers the necessary airflow for any MKV Supra, including vehicles with upgraded turbo systems, without imposing any significant restrictions or compromising filter efficiency.
• The innovative design of the new AMS airbox focuses on achieving optimal airflow distribution throughout the entire circumference of the intake filter, allowing air to swirl around it. This results in a more even distribution of cold airflow across the filter, leading to reduced pressure drop and an extended filter lifespan between cleanings. The AMS Performance MKV Supra Carbon Fiber Intake Kit is meticulously engineered to achieve an impressive 25% reduction in pressure drop, translating to enhanced efficiency and increased power output. It’s important to note that due to the Supra’s torque-based ECU tuning strategy, aftermarket engine components alone do not significantly impact horsepower unless the ECU is properly calibrated to leverage the potential of these new hardware components. The SnailWorks Engineering Team at AMS Performance conducted extensive testing, including installing a significantly larger turbocharger on their test Supra, only to find zero horsepower gains without appropriate tuning. Hence, it’s crucial not to be deceived by competitors’ claims of horsepower gains without ECU calibration. The fully enclosed dry air filter, ingeniously designed by AMS engineers, draws in a larger volume of air into its hand-laid carbon fiber constructed cold air box. Furthermore, the matte carbon finish perfectly matches the AMS MKV Supra Carbon Fiber Engine Cover, providing a seamless and visually appealing integration.

Notes

• Does not fit with factory strut tower bracing unless additional spacers are used
• The filter uses specially designed dry media that allows performance and efficiency to be restored to near new each time by simply using compressed air (30-40 psi) from the inside out, making frequent washing unnecessary in order to restore filter performance. For a deep cleaning from extreme environments, a biodegradable cleaner such as Simple Green or other mild shop degreasers can be used. Simply place the filter in a solution or spray the cleaner on the filter. Allow the solution to loosen the particulate and then rinse thoroughly. Shake the filter or use compressed air from the inside outward to remove residual water and allow 24 hours to dry.
• Does not fit with strut tower bracing unless additional spacers are used
• As these motorsports grade carbon fiber parts are hand laid, slight imperfections or weave pattern variances can be expected
• While AMS believes this product is either CARB EO exemption applicable, or complies with the EPA’s Anti-Tampering Policy, they have not completed the required testing and administrative process at this time. This product is not available to purchase for emissions-controlled vehicles located within the state of California, or available to ship to California addresses, without a completed AMS Race Waiver form.
