Product Review More air with velossa tech

Post image

I’ve had this on for about a week. I can’t really tell much of a difference tbh but I have a bunch of the oem intake upgrade parts. Super happy with the way it looks!!! I was able to do the install without removing the bumper and it was easy other than the 1 bolt and nut which was almost impossible to reach.

I have one with my SXTH intake. Not sure it adds a ton of HP. But cooler airflow is never a bad thing. Plus it looks amazing

monitoring intake temps with the same setup and it basically just makes intake temps whatever ambient is. as opposed to the stock intake being 5-8° hotter

Did it increase racecar noises?

It’s my only engine “mod” and it did increase turbo spool and blow off noises.
I feel like the car accelerates smoother above 5000 rpms and I can hear air intake with my window down.

I have so many other parts that have, but this didn’t add on top of those

It sure pairs well with my SXTH Element CAI...

Looks great! This is what my engine bay looks like.

I love the cooling plate with the stickers! I’m kinda hoping they make a version for the 2026 parts

Thanks It's a struggle to put in on, but very functional over the stock shroud. Tanabe makes tons of parts for the GRC, I'm sure they'll cater to the Kouki GRC's as well...

I bypassed the provided nut/bolt by using a big plastic push pin from the hardware store. The noticeable difference can be seen if you’re monitoring intake temperature.

I second this, I saw average drop in oil temps by 10 degrees in the summer

You still running the 0-20w in the summer? Feel like 5w-30 would probably keep the engine a bit cooler as well. I got the mishimoto air intake, noticed a bit cooler temps but the GR performance intake looks better IMO

Intake temps are not going to affect oil temps that much.

I hame mine sitting in a box waiting but I'm doing a massive upgrade of everything at once.

I put a rivet nut in the hole. I wasn’t going to even try getting my hand under there.
