    Default mx83 intake pipe same as mk3 supra 7mge intake pipe?

    Fairly quick question: is the intake pipe (afm, airbox, piping etc) the same as that on a 7MGE mk3 supra?
    I know the afm is the same, but the only visible difference I can see is the plastic pipe that runs over the engine on the mx83, compared to the supra not needing it with a longer acis intake manifold.

    If it's the same it just saves me the trouble of finding a n/a mk3 supra to pinch parts from as I haven't come across a single one in any wreckers so far..
    maybe I'm not looking hard enough

    if its the plastic tracts from the afm to the tb, youre better off having an intake pipe made from alloy.
    I did a 3" one out of mild steel for my 5mge MX73 and dont have the vaccuum leaks i used to...

    plus the induction roar you get with metal pipe is gnarly.

    Your local exhaust shop should only charge you at most $220 to do this
    "Cressbox" 1987 MX73R -Hardparked
    "Tractorpimp" 1985 MX73R-under construction

    Yeah I just don't quite like the idea of running a metal pipe over the exposed extractors. PLUS I like the engine bay looking as stock as possible.
    But I can agree that the induction noise is sweet sugar to my ears. I had one in a n/a s13 and iWOTm8. I WOT every time I had the chance
