Enhancement gains on your Toyota Celica by installing a cold air intake
The Celica name has been applied to a series of popular coupes made by the Japanese company Toyota. The name is ultimately derived from the Latin word coelica (IPA [selika]) meaning "heavenly" or "celestial". Many modifications can be done to your Toyota to make it faster and look more aggressive. The area many enthusiasts modify first is the air intakes or performance intake systems.
Standard air intake systems or on you Toyota tend to be very restrictive, in order to eliminate engine noise. Aftermarket cold air intake systems come in many different colors and sizes, and are easy to install when compared with other performance-increasing modifications. Usually screw drivers are the only necessary tools and the intake job can be done in an afternoon.
A cold air intake is a device used to bring lower temperature air into your Toyota internal-combustion engine, to increase engine power and efficiency. It also enhances efficiency through higher flow, and can increase the life of you Toyota intake by allowing it to run cooler. The best cold air intake or performance air intake kits solve a few of these problems in one impressive unit. First, a performance air intake replaces your stock intake tube with a wider pipe that has fewer bends. The result is a higher volume of air that flows more freely. The resulting effect fills your combustion chamber with more oxygen molecules for igniting fuel at a balanced, efficient mixtures that maximize power and an increase in fuel economy.
Throughout its life span the Celica's has been powered by various four cylinder engines. The most significant change occurred in 1986, when the car's drive layout was changed from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive. During the first three generations, American market Celicas were powered by various versions of Toyota's R series engines. A four-wheel drive turbocharged model (designated All-trac in the US or GT-Four in Japan and Europe) was produced from 1986 to 2000.
