If you’ve been following the GR86 build you know that we at Driven.Media have tested a LOT of different intakes on the car. Some of which we actually haven’t even shown, but here’s the thing. Most, if not all, of these aftermarket intake systems boast some kind of power gains. However, from testing done and others have done some of these intake systems aren’t any better than the stock intake and some can even be worse. So in an effort to try to get the most performance out of these cars, we are testing the Infinity Design Carbon Fiber GR86 Intake today, but we've got really high hopes for this one.

Maximize Airflow & Performance

This here is the Infinity Designs Carbon Fiber Intake. Just at first glance you can see how fluid and sleek the overall design is. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it’s shaped this way intentionally to maximize airflow to the engine which means it should theoretically improve performance. But as I mentioned before, lots of companies market performance gains. So what we’re going to do is after I show you how to get this thing installed we’re going to head over to the dyno next door and test just that.

Design

Conducting Airflow with CFD Analysis

Now let’s talk about the design of this intake a bit, because it’s a lot different than most intake systems you normally see on these cars. They actually went through a few different prototypes before solidifying this particular design. The initial prototype was just a straight venturi tube that fed into a large airbox which had two air feeds. You’d think that this would increase airflow because you have an additional snorkel with a larger airbox, but they actually didn’t see any gains from this and when they tested it with CFD analysis they saw that it was creating a lot of turbulence in front of the air filter.

They scrapped that design and decided to follow the same path as the OEM system that feeds towards one side, but obviously with a few big changes. The snorkel has been opened up with a bell mouth to increase and smooth out airflow, they’ve utilized a significantly larger air filter with sort of a hybrid round/cone filter design that directs the airflow towards the outer walls of the huge venturi inlet tube essentially creating a massive velocity stack. This is a 6 ¾” opening which I think is larger than any cone filter design that’s currently available for these cars. All of this results in improved throttle response and gains in performance that you can feel right away. Plus of course you get a big bump in induction noise as well.
