4runner supra mod, finally done
I got the supra mod done on the 4runner a little while ago and so far I'm pleased. Throttle response is a lot better and that annoying howl is gone. I have no idea what the noise was but when I'd goose the throttle by hand the stock air box would howl for a second or so and make the motor drop rpms in a hurry, that has now stopped. I also took a few seconds to clean out the TB (yuck) and it idles better. I'll be pulling the TB off this weekend and cleaning it out a lot more as well as pulling the IACV and cleaning that since I found a thread indicating that may be the source of my high idle when cold (2100 rpms for the first 4 minutes). If cleaning the IACV stops the cold idle issue I'll post up a thread so others can benefit from it.
Now all I have left to do is mock up and build the spare tire carrier off of the MC rear bumper (sort of easy) and mount it (not so easy since it came off the pickup) and pull the low pro bump stops and the runner is done until I can afford the lift. Then the truck is for sale and I'll take that money and lift the runner, drop in the front locker and put the dual cases in. Then we wheel!!!
All in all it was a good day under the hood.

It's a mod where you install a 1982 Supra MAF onto our 22re's. If you have time do to a search and do some reading it's been covered a lot. Search "Supra MAF" and use my name "Junkers88". You should find my initial install on the 86.

I did a search for the beginning of your supra mod...that's very interesting. I'm going to be looking into this more. Did you have to do anything besides put it in? I do find it kinda odd that it just works...I think I'll be calling around to some local part parks (they're not junk yards when you need something).

) and I'm running this mod with the help between the two of them! Works great, total plug and play!

Ok great!!! I just finished reading that thread as well...Now off hunting and hope the little lady does not catch me buying more stuff for this thing. She doesn't understand, just a bit cranky because I have more in parts in this than what I paid for it. Got a really good deal though!!!

Oh yes indeed I'm going to wheel it! Heck I wheeled the truck every weekend (and somethimes on the way home from work) although I was careful not to get to far into anything. With the runner I'm going to go as far as I can before nature forces me to turn around.
Admit it, you like reading my posts. It reminds you of the days before your runner was the monster that it is now.

Be sure you get the Supra AFM (shut up Bigblue) with the right part numbers. I'd post them but can't remember what they are, just make sure the part is off of a 1982 Supra. It's the only year that is a direct plug and play.

OK got it 82...wonder y they moved everything, switched the bat and the intake. I have a 92 and they are reversed, the intake comes across the rad. I did notice a bit of a difference when I took out the standard intake and put in a 3" pipe and a cone. I was surprised on how much difference it made. I also hollowed out the cat and next weekend I'm changing the exhaust to 2.25 from the manifold back (well from the little Y).

I guess I should have been more clear. In those pictures the battery and AFM have been swapped by me. Originally the battery was on the pass side and the intake tube ran across the radiator to the drivers side.
kudos for making progress.?

Shorter run for the intake, trying to eliminate some of the heat that the stock intake tube would pick up off of the radiator, better location for the snorkle I was going to build and just to see if I could do it.
