Just to let everyone know viewing this video. Don't do this to your car! Unless you like to lose power and get worse fuel economy. That "hole" thats drwaing in air from the fender is sucking in cold air from outside the hot engine bay. All the holes he drilled just allowed hot air into the engine lowering the horsepower of the engine. less cold air is way better then more hot air.
AND. see these holes i just drilled. those didnt come factory. not shit dippity you just said you drilled them. and your obviously too dumb to be working at the factory. delete this please you moron
You have to be one of the dubest people on earth.... DUDE.... U DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! ONE POINT SIX VALVE????!!!!!! WTF!!! U RETARD!!!
Another problem besides you reducing your MPG thanks to the hot air intake is the fact that most if not all SMOG CHECK PLACES WILL FAIL YOU cause they will see the holes in the intake. If it fails visual...IT FAILS ALL. Especially if you're living in CA.
Drilling those holes will reduce horsepower due to air being sucked from a a very large surface area which reduces the velocity of the air into the engine also there will be turbulence caused by air from the holes and original intake hitting each other at almost 90 degrees which reduces airflow .If you hit a water puddle water will be sucked into the engine through those holes.This will also cause heatsock
Drilling those holes will actually cause you to lose horsepower.The thing is if air flows through a narrow opening it flows faster than a wide opening ,so if the engine sucks in air through a larger surface area the air velocity is going to be reduced thus the engine will suck in air at a lower rate.When the airbus is designed the engineers will try to make the surface area as large as possible but at the same time making sure it does not impact on the rate of flow of air ,so it's best to leave
I have to complain... I did this to my corolla and when I went to the freeway to test it and when press the gas pedal, my car started to smoke the front tyres, the rpm climbed to 18000 and my speed climbed to 85 miles in 2,37 seconds tele - transporting me to 1956, you don´t know how hard it was to find a wifi zone to write this to you, now bring me back to my beloved 1985 !!! Fuck, this holy clock is working just fine...
omfg world is going worse now, no more hondas its now vvt-i kicking in screw hondas now and he gets excited over a 4cyclinder oh and not to mention 1.6 valve...

.... well try and use it so that it COVERS the hot air from coming in to the new filter
its actually the ORIGINAL purpose thats why toyota among others put em there and if u cant fit ur new filter just be creative make a box of ur own cut up some stuff u have laying around in the house it be alot cheaper. and that would actually work better
@0340miguel10 air flowing in the engine bay is not any hotter than air in the bumper or fender where the stock intake usually goes. My stainless intake is usually cold after a long drive, and this is with a 4" stainless intake tube with K&N filter, completely open.
@0340miguel10 so he added ram air to a ram air car.. I have tested temps in my car and others. free flowing air is not hotter than outside air. ambient temps from the engine may be in the 100's of degrees, but the air moving around the engine and engine bay is not hot. it is moving too quickly for any heat transfer to take place. One big factor here is it must be flowing air. my engine bay is very open, a packed bay would not work as well due to no place for air movement.
@0340miguel10 Also given the fact that my car has been re tuned for my particular intake and exhaust setup, it is running well over stock HP ratings & has better mpg's than what it was projected for (which were 25 city and 32 highway) average was about 28. Now with tune and mods, i moved up to 32 average with up to 35 highway and near 40 on long interstate trips. that is far from what it used to be.
haha free hp ? free TO GO you mean u actually lose if u do that.
because eventually if it pulls HOT air into the engine and ofcourse its worst for the engine
so not helping it at all :)
what u can do if you do not have money for a complete cold air intake system is relocate the filter using some couplers and piping (which means make your own) and im sure the cone air filters if u wanna use those arent expensive u could get one for like 20 bucks
Its a good mod to make on certain vehicles. Done mostly for sound. HP improvement is almost zero. The hot engine are issue is a nothing to worry about so long as you drill away from the engine side. Boneheads love to cry about hot engine air but that is NOT an issue so long as your drill holes are away from the engine.
there is a reason why there is no holes from factory..........if you drill holes in the air box to the engine bay you will get all the engine heat in to the intake which in return will get worse gas mileage... IDIOT
You just ruined that air box on your friends car. The only thing those holes are going to do is allow hot air from the engine compartment to be drawn into the engine. The engineers at Toyota designed that air box to flow as much air as the engine would ever need at WOT and anywhere in between.
@eurokid83 have you ever looked inside the bay of a 03 to 05 rolla, the air intake is right next to the radiator, so your argument is invalid! and also how small the air pipe from intake to box is, he is letting in more air, even if its hot it allows more CFM, which means more overall air, although myself 1st thing i did was butcher the intake pipe so its open about 3 inch behind the headlight, which has a big gap where you would install a CAI
@TheDh0ffryn My argument is plenty valid my friend. Just because the air box is in close proximity to the radiator doesn't mean it's allowing hot air to enter the engine. Do what you want to your own car, I'll install a real intake. Carving up a expensive factory air box is stupid.
@sunsweetsuitable That's because the holes reduce restriction to the air flowing through the filter. It's like trying to breathe through a drinking straw and then switching to a 3" pipe. Much easier to breathe out of the bigger pipe. Put a real cold air intake on your car and you'll make more power than a cut up air box I guarantee it.
@eurokid83 i agree that putting an actual cold air intake is the best way to gain power but the single hose leading to the wheel well isnt helpful at all. the one on my lumina led to the wheel well and was enclosed with no outside airflow to it. as soon as i took that hose off and opend up my air box the car jumped off the line reved quicker. not saying it gained a ton of power but it had it available immediately
@sunsweetsuitable Any time you remove a restriction in the intake you will see some gains in HP, torque, and throttle response. For me personally I would put a good aftermarket intake on and call it good. There are other ways of doing it of course.
@sunsweetsuitable No shit. My point is drilling a expensive factory air box is stupid when you can spend less than what the box costs and get a real intake.
@eurokid83 ok dude i spell it for you...... thats not F O R F R E E. i at no point discredit you or say that you dont know anything about cars, your just missing the point
@sunsweetsuitable I know what the point is, I just don't see the point in ruining a expensive factory air box to make my car sound different and maby pick up a few HP. Not a big deal and not worth arguing over.
@eurokid83 then why did you just drag this out with me if its not something you want to debate or "argue" from your standpoint. or continue with several others. you did want to argue and your not winning the argument so your now tryin to back out the sissy way. im ignoring you now because your not worth the time. start a debate and loose steam halfway * rolls eyes * make sure your ready to fight before you get in the ring. im sure youll post something because its about the last word
@sunsweetsuitable Drilling holes in the air box is stupid. If you want to do it to your own car that's fine with me. Just because you can do it doesn't mean it's good. retard.
@eurokid83 With supporting modifications and an engine tune it can increase hp and mpg. Air flowing through the engine bay is not any hotter than air outside or in the bumper where most stock intakes come out. This has been proven on a dyno, with minimal air movement in the dyno room an engine bay intake with a cone style K&N filter made more power than a long "ram style" bumper intake using the same cone filter.
@chevysb400 Air temps under the hood of any automobile on the road is hotter than ambient temperature period. That's why on every newer car the air is drawn in from the inner fender or behind the front bumper. If I have to take temp measurements on my own vehicle of under the hood and outside the vehicle on my way to work to prove you wrong that's what I'll do.
@eurokid83 I have explained this up there to someone else, when there is free flowing air in an engine bay the air is not hot, its moving too quickly to transfer heat from the engine. There are exceptions such as an engine bay with limited space for air movement, and engine bays that are restricted by other parts of the car like a solid grill/bumper area. I have tested on my car in several places. the only hotspot in my engine bay is surrounding my exhaust header, far from the intake
@chevysb400 Not all engine bays have "free flowing air" like you just said. There is a reason that auto manufacturers pick up air from the inner fender or behind the bumper. Air in the engine bay may not be "hot" but it is warmer than ambient.
@eurokid83 I have never seen temps higher than outside temps in my engine bay, with the exception of direct contact with my engine and the exhaust. Getting rid of the stock intake helped so much. It is also about letting the engine breathe easier, i had a 2 inch pipe going through the fender to feed my airbox, unacceptable. I dont care what they designed the airbox to flow, it doesn't flow enough.
@chevysb400 I agree factory air boxes are in no way made for performance. anything you do to allow air to flow more freely will increase HP, torque, and throttle response. For me personally I would try and isolate the air filter from any heat in the engine bay as much as possible. That's all I'm saying.
@HateCrew05 way more than want you to have for free and .5 of a horsepower will move a lot more than you think. i have weed eater engine on a mountain bike and thing does 43.4 according to my gps and it has no where near a whole 1 HP
Sure, the mods here will make more induction sound but- The "cotton gauze" is a carbon trap that is designed to capture unburnt vapors that remain in the inlet tract after the engine is shut down. CARB requires this for emissions. Removing it may cause you to fail California emissions testing. The plastic strainer (shown but not mentioned) in the box is for straightening the airflow across the mass air meter.
Crazy. Don't listen to this guy. If you think the factor engineers haven't though of every possibility to increase horse power and MPG, then maybe you shouldn't be modifying anything on a car, of which you have no clue how it works.
@kloveless82 Factory engineers have to compromise between horsepower and noise. Just like the dude said, not everyone wants to drive around a loud car. A straight pipe would allow the best HP, but be loud. Thats why they put baffles in them.
i would love when it rains to see how ur car will do xD better advice remove that white "trapt" bore the inside and put a bigger diameter tube to the fender with the factory water trapt
dude i would punch u in the face if you did that to my car and then drove it like that.......... oh and yeah its a boring car but u drive a econoline?? L O Mufuckin L
@chevys10guy1998 I agree with you. I don't believe his explanation that he was only joking around a little. I firmly believe he didn't know what he was talking about, and then later tried to backpedal his way out of it to save face. Oh well, like you said , just don't take his advice.
another thing, you might say 1.6 when you are talking about the engine size (how many liters at all you have in the chambers, etc) but that same car is a 1.8 liters engine also known as 1zz, there is also a 2zz and that one its the corolla xrs, engine size 2.0 liters . . .
lol, "1.6 valve" what the crap, it means it has 16 valves, it has 4 valves per piston, multiply by 4 pistons gives you "16 valves". about drilling holes for more horse power I'm not sure, kinda share same idea from a conic air filter, more air more power but still not sure at all . . .
only an idiot would drill holes in their airbox...
unless your a 16 year old that has a 20 year old POS that you don't care about.
your friend is also an idiot for letting you do that to his car.
you people want real help with your cars, check out scottykilmer he has his youtube account and a website where you can ask him your car questions and he answers every single one... was a mechanic for almost 50 years he knows his stuff.. unlike this idiot
1.6 valves??? does that have a "point" between those numbers???? it is mechanically impossible for an engine to run with one point six valves. get your shit straight. stop feeding this bull to kids that want to modify their cars for cheap. guys if you want to see "cheap" diy car modifying check out mightycarmods on youtube. they know a thing or two about motors
Putting extra holes in your air box doss not help the horse power , It will rob it as you bringing in warm and hot air from the inside the engine you need cold air from out side of the car .
What an idiot doing that to a car. You FAIL to understand what the air filter is for. It CLEANS the air going in to the engine. The K&N has a much smaller surface area so restricts flow compared to an oversized paper filter. You have removed ALL the protection for the engine and made it louder. The holes in the K&N are 13times bigger, so lots of dirt goes through. The noise made is the air being RESTRICTED. You ruined that car from lack of knowledge & intelligence. Learn about engines & filters.
@urbex2007 Drilling holes in the air filter housing serves no purpose apart from suck hot air in from the engine bay - which further decreases performance. All you have done is damage the car and fit a RESTRICTIVE K&N which doesn't even filter, it allows dirt that would be stopped by a paper filter to reach the engine. Some friend you are!!! On a rolling road, I guarantee your setup would give a much lower BHP than if you fitted a paper filter in the correct housing. Search for tests on here...
Hey John I have a 2011 Malibu and there aren't any intakes out there however they do make K&N filters like the one in this video and I am wondering if I should drill holes in the bottom of my airbox but Im weary if just drilling into the airbox of a brand new car. Any negative effects on the engine by doing this?
anything under the filter is hot! thats why they have it in there they know what they are doing. all you did was make a hot air intake and take out the silencer. This my friend makes your car a little slower.
Cat converters n backboxes aid in noise reduction due to the honey combed material inside... I did a mechanics course... If you were to have a direct exhaust system without a backbox or cat then the noise would be unbelievably loud... Engines themselves are developed to be quiet hence the rubber engingle mounts and other parts to balance the engine which reduces noise...
@lukeyboy900 They dont use a cat for the sound, its to help burn off the rest of the fuel before its released into the air. it just improves the emissions.
how do u take that filter off from the upper part of the air box. u said that it makes the engine sound a little louder and stuff. how did u take that off? did u break it off?
On my 04 Solara its not a sound baffle its for emission control. You will notice that it is filled with little pieces of activated charcoal to help soak up emissions when the car is turned off per CA law (
I think). Perhaps it also acts as a sound baffle but that's not why its there.
oh dude u wrecked his hole set up...ur sucking up hot ass air from the engine...the holes on the bottom are sucking air from the engine and other shit thats hot down there...why would u do that to ur friend...he would have been better with a actual intake from fricken ebay lol
keeping in mind you actually have to draw in COLD AIR not HOT AIR your actually robing horse power with this mod. it would have been cheaper to get a cold air intake off ebay.
Maybee next time you should dril the holes aligned. the holes are now random... does not make a diffirence but it tels somthing about the person who drilled them :D
And cold air is very important, so i prefer not to let hot air into the engine :)
wow some ppl are just haters if u dont have something positive to say about johnfromspace's video why even post and dude that would help with a few ponies and may be badonly if excessive heat was drawn in why be so rude u douche @ sergio120688 and @rocker4u123
wow you found out a way to ruin the factory air box and gain no real horsepower. Any power gains were mental in the ass dyno. I hate little 17 year olds who hear these magazines and ricers tips how to increase HP with high flow filters etc and think they know a thing or two about modding cars and increasing HP or torque. Before you ever touch a car you should know a thing or two about them instead of destroying parts for stupid reasons.

starsstripesjacket 2 months ago
The holes make it worse. This is because it allows hot air from within the engine bay to be drawn into the air intake.
We all know that warmer air = less dense. Therefore your getting 'less' air into your air intake.
Plus Toyota designed the air pipe to flow enough air through the system at WOT anyway....
So in short:
Toyota: Spends millions in designs / simulations / tests
You: Guy with a drill.

@tav48 That's mostly what it is.

@sunsweetsuitable That's because the holes reduce restriction to the air flowing through the filter. It's like trying to breathe through a drinking straw and then switching to a 3" pipe. Much easier to breathe out of the bigger pipe. Put a real cold air intake on your car and you'll make more power than a cut up air box I guarantee it.
eurokid83 1 month ago
@eurokid83 i agree that putting an actual cold air intake is the best way to gain power but the single hose leading to the wheel well isnt helpful at all. the one on my lumina led to the wheel well and was enclosed with no outside airflow to it. as soon as i took that hose off and opend up my air box the car jumped off the line reved quicker. not saying it gained a ton of power but it had it available immediately

@sunsweetsuitable Any time you remove a restriction in the intake you will see some gains in HP, torque, and throttle response. For me personally I would put a good aftermarket intake on and call it good. There are other ways of doing it of course.

@eurokid83 With supporting modifications and an engine tune it can increase hp and mpg. Air flowing through the engine bay is not any hotter than air outside or in the bumper where most stock intakes come out. This has been proven on a dyno, with minimal air movement in the dyno room an engine bay intake with a cone style K&N filter made more power than a long "ram style" bumper intake using the same cone filter.
chevysb400 2 months ago
@chevysb400 Air temps under the hood of any automobile on the road is hotter than ambient temperature period. That's why on every newer car the air is drawn in from the inner fender or behind the front bumper. If I have to take temp measurements on my own vehicle of under the hood and outside the vehicle on my way to work to prove you wrong that's what I'll do.
eurokid83 1 month ago
@eurokid83 I have explained this up there to someone else, when there is free flowing air in an engine bay the air is not hot, its moving too quickly to transfer heat from the engine. There are exceptions such as an engine bay with limited space for air movement, and engine bays that are restricted by other parts of the car like a solid grill/bumper area. I have tested on my car in several places. the only hotspot in my engine bay is surrounding my exhaust header, far from the intake
chevysb400 1 month ago
@chevysb400 Not all engine bays have "free flowing air" like you just said. There is a reason that auto manufacturers pick up air from the inner fender or behind the bumper. Air in the engine bay may not be "hot" but it is warmer than ambient.
eurokid83 1 month ago
@eurokid83 I have never seen temps higher than outside temps in my engine bay, with the exception of direct contact with my engine and the exhaust. Getting rid of the stock intake helped so much. It is also about letting the engine breathe easier, i had a 2 inch pipe going through the fender to feed my airbox, unacceptable. I dont care what they designed the airbox to flow, it doesn't flow enough.
chevysb400 1 month ago
@chevysb400 I agree factory air boxes are in no way made for performance. anything you do to allow air to flow more freely will increase HP, torque, and throttle response. For me personally I would try and isolate the air filter from any heat in the engine bay as much as possible. That's all I'm saying.

Sure, the mods here will make more induction sound but- The "cotton gauze" is a carbon trap that is designed to capture unburnt vapors that remain in the inlet tract after the engine is shut down. CARB requires this for emissions. Removing it may cause you to fail California emissions testing. The plastic strainer (shown but not mentioned) in the box is for straightening the airflow across the mass air meter.

@kloveless82 Factory engineers have to compromise between horsepower and noise. Just like the dude said, not everyone wants to drive around a loud car. A straight pipe would allow the best HP, but be loud. Thats why they put baffles in them.

lol, "1.6 valve" what the crap, it means it has 16 valves, it has 4 valves per piston, multiply by 4 pistons gives you "16 valves". about drilling holes for more horse power I'm not sure, kinda share same idea from a conic air filter, more air more power but still not sure at all . . .

What an idiot doing that to a car. You FAIL to understand what the air filter is for. It CLEANS the air going in to the engine. The K&N has a much smaller surface area so restricts flow compared to an oversized paper filter. You have removed ALL the protection for the engine and made it louder. The holes in the K&N are 13times bigger, so lots of dirt goes through. The noise made is the air being RESTRICTED. You ruined that car from lack of knowledge & intelligence. Learn about engines & filters.
urbex2007 5 months ago
@urbex2007 Drilling holes in the air filter housing serves no purpose apart from suck hot air in from the engine bay - which further decreases performance. All you have done is damage the car and fit a RESTRICTIVE K&N which doesn't even filter, it allows dirt that would be stopped by a paper filter to reach the engine. Some friend you are!!! On a rolling road, I guarantee your setup would give a much lower BHP than if you fitted a paper filter in the correct housing. Search for tests on here...

Hey John I have a 2011 Malibu and there aren't any intakes out there however they do make K&N filters like the one in this video and I am wondering if I should drill holes in the bottom of my airbox but Im weary if just drilling into the airbox of a brand new car. Any negative effects on the engine by doing this?

Cat converters n backboxes aid in noise reduction due to the honey combed material inside... I did a mechanics course... If you were to have a direct exhaust system without a backbox or cat then the noise would be unbelievably loud... Engines themselves are developed to be quiet hence the rubber engingle mounts and other parts to balance the engine which reduces noise...

@lukeyboy900 They dont use a cat for the sound, its to help burn off the rest of the fuel before its released into the air. it just improves the emissions.

On my 04 Solara its not a sound baffle its for emission control. You will notice that it is filled with little pieces of activated charcoal to help soak up emissions when the car is turned off per CA law (
