AEM Cold Air Intake

[adam2562]

how come lately i've seen Cold Air intake kits for 96-02 camry/Solara's V6.. i never knew AEM made Cold air intakes....or do they?

[Peter]

where did u seee them at?

[Yanks0114]

There is no AEM CAI for out car. Not sure about the camry platform but i highly doubt it or else it would have made its way in our cars by now. Its probally a short ram air intake and ppl just call it the wrong thing

Uhhh never. And the intake MAF for the V6 94-96 Camry is way different from the 97-01 and newer. Wherever you see this info is bogus. AEM makes nothing for the Camry platform...YET.

There is a aem cold air intake for a solara i got 1!!! there bad ass good sound and power

[krook]

pics please...

pics please...

Werd.

Might sound good, but I doubt you get any power out of it.

It's listed on the AEM site but not yet available according to them (I think). I even saw a dyno chart with a 1MZFE from a stock 96 Camry (not from their site) and it gave like 10 HP and torque. And, they're supposed to have a short ram and CAI. If anybody knows this is the real deal and hopefully it's not a lousy implementation, let everybody know.

Sorry, above post was mine. Forgot to log in BTW, I just remembered where I saw the dyno chart. autodynamic.com. Weird that they would have a more updated app list than AEM's own web site.

Wow, finally a CAI has been made for our cars. I wonder what the price is. Its listed on the AEM site too so it cant be a joke. Cant wait to see a picture, but the dyno charts look a little weird. The CAI only gives about 1 extra hp and 2more lbs tq than the short ram?

Ok, This might be a bit of a dumb question, but isn't it hard to test the real gains of a CAI on a standard DYNO? If the car is moving the air should be colder (blowing across the filter) than if the car is not. However, in most DYNO videos I see the test is done with the hood open. This should help the Short-Ram type intake, as it isn't closed up with alot of hot air? I might be completely wrong here, but this is all I could think to explain the above post. Maybe you all could clear the air here .

Here is how AEM dyno tests their products, right from their site:
"AEM's DYNO TESTING PROCEDURES

AEM performs its dynamometer testing in a consistent fashion in an effort to deliver the most accurate results. Our dyno testing procedures are carried out with the hood up, with a fan placed in front of the radiator and another fan at the rear of the vehicle to force exhaust gases from the testing area. We perform the testing in this fashion because it most accurately reflects actual driving conditions, (e.g. the open hood allows air to flow through the engine compartment as it would if the vehicle were moving, and the fan in front of the radiator mimics the flow of air that would pass through it if the car were not stationary on a dyno). Think of it this way, an RSX Type-S revs to 8,000 rpm, so a third gear dyno pull to redline is equivalent to a run of approximately 90 mph. Without an open hood or fan to replicate what the car would experience if it were on the street and not on a dyno, the testing would not be an accurate representation of either the car's performance, or the functioning of any performance parts.

Furthermore, all numbers are corrected to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards for altitude, ambient air temperature and humidity per the program supplied with the Dynojet Dyno that we use (in this case it was a Model 248C Dynojet Chassis Dynamometer). We do this because, according to SAE, horsepower should be measured under a consistent set of conditions. Since the real world is not a consistent place, a formula is used to modify the measured results obtained during testing back to the SAE accepted standard of testing conditions.

When we perform dyno testing, we take multiple runs and then average the three that are most consistent. Any runs that are abnormally high or low are eliminated so that the results we gain are as accurate as possible. We will NEVER show you only the best results; you will always see an average of the three most consistent dyno pulls."

Yes, I read that, I just wondered if that method wouldn't help the short ram more, especially at low RPMs, where you would be pulling away for a stop or whatever. This is where some of the ppl here talk about short rams being bad.

Regardless of my last post, it looks like there will be a CAI from AEM for all of us. This is strait from their site.

Camry 1996-02 4CYL Only 21-560 22-560 TBA
Camry 1996-02 V6 Only 21-561 22-561 TBA

Any expert opinions on the usefulness on the 4Cyl application?

Cattmans CAI is comming SOON This is comming from someone who is working with them, not "TBA" on a website
