I wish Toyota never killed Scion, especially the TC it was one of the best selling cars in style and performance. Toyota should've made the TC Rwd with 300hp I'm getting a 2014-2015 TC2 with the 6 Speed Manual Transmission soon.
I'm not installing an aftermarket intake, but this was the exact type of video i was looking for. Wasn't too sure what to disconnect to reach my throttle body. Subbed anyways!
@@davidboardman1515 Hey thank you so much for being a typical internet troll! Society thanks you for absolutely nothing! Your comment was a waste of time.
I’m not sure if it’s because of less traffic due to Covid, or because of the intake. But before install I regularly got 27mpg. My most recent fill up was 28.8mpg
@@christopherfung1618 I do not know about engine temp, as I don’t have a temp gauge on my dash. Mpg actually improved. I got 29 the other day with mixed city/highway
WD-40 will work in a pinch, but try to clean off as much overspray as you can. WD-40 will actually attract grime and dirt to the areas left exposed that have been sprayed.

I generally average around 29 mpg. Before I was getting 27 to 28. So this may have improved my mileage by 1 MPG, or I just drive easier now due to COVID making the roads less congested here in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
Thank you! I only feel a little more oomph at high RPMs, like 5000+. K&N state 4-5 HP gains. I do enjoy the sound and the protection against hydro-locking
I haven’t failed any emission testing here in Texas, but they don’t do a tailpipe sniffer here. It’s never thrown any type of code. I would imagine it is Cali emissions safe.

300hp? No. Toyota wouldn't do that, more like 228hp then the tC would still be around.

Literally comes with the easiest instructions. What a waste of time

@@davidboardman1515 why did you watch it then?
I was looking on Amazon for that exact intake and the price but I can't seem to find it...need help
Just orded mine for $399 on Amazon.
Greetings, have you noticed any changes on Miles Per Gallon?

@@Chris-hn2md I’m up to 23.3 now.
Did your buddy's scion tc hydrolock with the the stock intake? If so that's enough for me to get this for my tc
Yes. The previous owner hydro locked the engine with the stock intake. That is one of the main reasons I installed this one.
Water was only 12” high
how much horse power did you get with this k&n filter if you don't mind me asking
About 5 hp
@@minter66 Alright thanks appreciate it
@@minter66did u dyno that?
Nice sound!
Question did you have to get it tuned at the dealer after installation? and where can you order intake thanks
No tuning needed. Just unbolt your battery for 15 min and reconnect. ECU relearns everything
You add that engine cover ?
It comes standard on the RAV4. The replacement engine I bought was from a wrecked 2013 RAV4.
You should be able to buy it standalone.
@@minter66 I see, cool! My 13 TC didn’t come with the cover lol. I was wondering 😅
Been try to find one for two three years thanks for that
what did you use to tune the ecu so that the new intake will actually do something?
No tune was needed, instructions simply said unplug your battery for a few minutes plug it back in and the MAF will re-map based on the new air intake
Did it turn any lights on in the car
@@christopherfung1618 no check engine lights
Was there any decrease in gas mileage or any increase in temperature in the engine
@@christopherfung1618 I do not know about engine temp, as I don’t have a temp gauge on my dash.
Mpg actually improved. I got 29 the other day with mixed city/highway
Can I use WD-40 instead of the silicone spray?
WD-40 will work in a pinch, but try to clean off as much overspray as you can. WD-40 will actually attract grime and dirt to the areas left exposed that have been sprayed.
It sounds grunty i like it
Idk how you got the hose on so easily it was so difficult for me
Silicone spray does wonders

Thanks for the video really helpful
Your a beast thank you sir 🔥😴
Do you not have to oil the filter
No oil was supplied in the kit, so I’m assuming in either pre-oiled or no
Very helpful thankyou
Great video. Looks easy. How much mpg are you getting now?
I generally average around 29 mpg. Before I was getting 27 to 28. So this may have improved my mileage by 1 MPG, or I just drive easier now due to COVID making the roads less congested here in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
@@minter66 that's actually pretty good. I get 24 mpg, but I am looking to upgrade my intake. Thanks !
@@zxracer04 idk how. I have a 2011 tc with a muffler delete and I am getting 15 mpg!
@@305pyroheads stop stomping the gas pedal lol. I have a flowmaster fx straight through performance muffler on and i’m getting 23
Great video! Did you notice more power with the new intake? Thinking of installing one in my 13 Tc
Thank you!

Can I use this intake for a Scion tC 2007?
Unfortunately no, it’s only made for the 2.5L 2AR-FE engines in the 2nd generation tC (2011-2016)
Does this pass smog

No it will not pass smog in California they aren’t carb legal.
@@rababsaleh5441 thanks for the reply!
@@rababsaleh5441 Why not? I don't see how it would harm emissions in any way.
@@rababsaleh5441 yes k & n are carb legal, I have the typhoon in my car & they provide the carb sticker
can you tell me if theres a turbo kit for the car
Doesn't seem like there's any in production anymore. Since 3 years of looking I've only ever seen custom setups made.
I work at K&N that plastic is molding crap
I hear the input shaft lmao
It’s an automatic, no input shaft. Just the typical auto trans whine these cars have.
