Would that be a human elbow or a cat elbow? Cat elbows work GREAT!!! (bastards.....poop in my truck. <<<<snap!!>>> <<<<MREOW!!!>>>....tisk, tisk)

 

That would be a silicone elbow. (i like cats by the way)

 

So do I, man. Relax.... I'm just horsing around. Ironically enough, I (and my wife) run a no-kill animal sanctuary on our ten acres. We have somewhere around 70 cats. No ones getting hurt, though. Just hollered at. I mean, they pooped in my truck....come on!

 

hmmm... i like that idea...

more pics in the morning...

 

it's morning. here's some pics

i think i could get my hoses to flex more if i removed the battery. i'm gonna try it this weekend and snap a few pics

 

Swanky!!

 

I was wondering if the Supra AFM actually makes a difference? Would it be noticeable? Powerwise? Throttle response?

 

It does make a difference, people have reported that there trucks have better throttle response and climb hills on the highway a lot better. The supra AFM allows the engine to breathe better, so yes it would be noticable.

 

I would go out on a limb and say VERY noticeable. Granted, it's still not a 3.4 =(

 

pics later tonight, but, um, i have no nuts to loosen. it does look like i can meander some silly-con elbows through the hoses, though (wow, is it just me or did that sound perverted to anyone else?)

yes, yes, more, better. that about covers your questions, right

 

here's the top of the compressor. notice the nutless hoses

That`s the later style compressor, the hoses bolt right to the top of it so you can`t move them. Do you have enough room to make my other idea work, by going to the right and then down ?.

 

it looks that way. i'll try it out (with newspaper tubes) this weekend. the hoses look like they have enough play, just the battery is in the way

you mean something that would go like this?

Exactly, just like that.

 

here is the link to my battery/intake swap thread. i thought it would be appropriate not to hijack my own thread

 

OP,
Sorry to bring this thread back to life. I just picked up a supra AFM and as i went to bolt it to my factory air box I noticed it is a little taller than the factory AFM. Where did you get the bracket to mount an air filter to the front?
Thanks!

 

bump. thinking about doing this swap as well

 

you mean the rectangle plate with the 3" tube sticking out that bolts onto the afm? it came with it. if your's didn't come with it, i think autozone might have something that could possibly fit, maybe. or hit up your junkyard again and find one that will work.

oh, and if i have any recent activity, i'll most likely respond. no problem
great! however, if you plan on doing the battery/intake swap, don't do this. save your money and time. it cost me about $60-ish for the swap, and in retrospect, should not have done this. but it was a good first project, and if it's all you need, go for it!

 

OP I appreciate the help! May the hunt for a rectangle plate begin!

 

If you're just looking to do the battery/intake swap, you can do that for about $10 in extended battery cables. That's the only thing I bought while doing mine.
