Short Ram Air Intake Kit – Scion iA 1.5L (2016)
This Short Ram Air Intake Kit is designed specifically for the 2016 Scion iA 1.5L, offering improved throttle response, enhanced airflow efficiency, and a sportier intake sound. By replacing the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow intake system, this kit delivers quicker air delivery to the engine for improved drivability.
Short ram intakes are ideal for compact, naturally aspirated engines, providing faster airflow response without the complexity of full cold air routing.
Vehicle Fitment
-
Scion iA 2016
-
Engine: 1.5L
Performance Benefits
- Improved throttle response
- Reduced airflow restriction versus factory airbox
- Enhanced engine breathing efficiency
- Sporty and aggressive intake sound under acceleration
MAF Sensor Transfer Required
This intake kit requires reusing your factory Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. The OEM airbox, which contains the original MAF housing, must be removed. The MAF sensor is then transferred to the included adapter to maintain proper airflow measurement and engine calibration.
-
MAF Reference Numbers: E5T62271 / PE0113215
- OEM MAF sensor not included and must be reused
Precision 3D-Printed Adapter
The included MAF adapter is manufactured using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM / FFF), an advanced additive manufacturing process that builds parts layer-by-layer using thermoplastic polymers. This method allows precise sensor positioning and airflow geometry for proper engine operation.
- Durable thermoplastic construction
- Designed for accurate MAF sensor alignment
- Surface may show natural layer lines from the FDM process
- Adapter can be post-processed (sanding, smoothing, coating) if desired
What’s Included
- Short ram intake piping
- High-flow air filter
- MAF adapter
Note: Mounting bolts are not included. Factory hardware may be reused where applicable.
Installation Overview
Installation involves removing the factory airbox, transferring the OEM MAF sensor to the supplied adapter, and installing the intake piping and filter.
- Basic hand tools required
- No tuning required for stock vehicles
- Professional installation recommended if unfamiliar with MAF systems
Why Choose a Short Ram Intake?
- Faster airflow delivery for improved responsiveness
- Simpler design than full cold air intake systems
- Improved engine sound and driving engagement
- Excellent balance of performance and reliability
Upgrade your 2016 Scion iA with this Short Ram Air Intake Kit and enjoy improved throttle response, enhanced airflow, and a more engaging driving experience.
