Anything is possible but why would you do it?

Then so will a valve opening and shutting a couple hundred to quite a few thousand times a minute. Read up on air dynamics is actually quite fascinating.

I really doubt you want turbulance in the air flow. These things are designed to create a faster columm of air not to slow it down by creating turbulance. If anything turbulance in the air stream will stall the air/fuel mix and create emissions problems because of irregular a/f ratios.Any links to the EJ25 FSM?

I don't know how you got that from "Toyota have been putting directional veins in the air intake for years, its nothing new."

Yes it is but a tractor that moves along an less than 20 km/h is a totally different kettle of fish than a car that moves at speeds ranging from a crawl to over 100 km/h. A tractors air vane is also alot further from the air cleaner in most cases and has a dust trap attached. The design of the Toyota air cleaner assembly helps to remove the any dirt from the air stream and I doubt an air vane less than 15 cm away from the air cleaner is going to take much dirt out of the air stream before it has a chance to get filtered anyway. The air vane doesn't remove dirt before the air cleaner, that's why Toyota have a vacuum switch mounted on the air cleaner assembly connected to a light in the dash to tell you if your air cleaner is a restriction and not doing its job anymore.

I have fitted up a lot of these to Subi's they work very well.

is fitting a supercharger to a l series a painstaking process? or relativley simple? and what sorta power increase would we be talking

for bolt on would have to be rather modest, unless you want motor to detonate. Normally Carby ea82 has a compression of +9or so/

Interesting , would be easier for a MPFI motor though, no?
Wonder if Steve builds the engine for it to cope also.
Anything good and worth having wouldn't be cheap I imagine though.
