Sharpen Throttle Response on Your Scion iQ 1NR-FE with This Red Performance Intake
Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Scion iQ owners running the 1NR-FE engine family who want a more responsive driving experience in the city and more confidence on the highway.
The Problem: The 1NR-FE is a high-tech, high-compression little engine, but the factory airbox is heavily baffled and restricted to prioritize silence over efficiency. This stock setup creates significant intake turbulence, which is why your iQ can feel hesitant or “laggy” when you try to merge into fast-moving traffic.
The Solution: We engineered this intake to eliminate the factory bottlenecks. By replacing the corrugated plastic tubing with mandrel-bent T304 aluminum, we provide a smooth, high-velocity path for oxygen to reach the cylinders. In my decade of tuning, I’ve found that cleaning up the intake path on these small-displacement Toyota engines is the most effective way to improve low-end torque without sacrificing reliability.
Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade
- Optimized Intake Velocity: Increases horsepower and torque by up to 10% by allowing the 1NR-FE to breathe naturally without the restrictive factory baffles.
- T304 Lightweight Aluminum: Unlike plastic that heat-soaks and cracks over time, this T304 piping stays durable and provides a much crisper engine note under heavy acceleration.
- Maintenance-Free Filtration: The included high-flow red filter is fully washable and reusable. You can go up to 50,000 miles before it needs a simple cleaning, saving you hundreds in paper filters over the life of the car.

The Performance Promise
Buy with confidence. Pro tip from the shop: After installation, disconnect your negative battery terminal for 10 minutes. This forces the ECU to reset its long-term fuel trims and “re-learn” the increased airflow from your new 1NR-FE intake for the best possible results.
