Today I re-engineered the intake system for my 89 4runner 3.0.

basically what i did is i made some mods so that i could flip the afm upside down.

before..

After..


i i also took out the little resonator box

pic of where the resonator box used to be....


in order to keep the air filter clamped i hack sawed the ring with the clamps off of the stock mount.


it sounds great...very loud especially at idle

very throaty

tell me what you guys think, and possibly some other mods?

 

its different

 

and where did you decide to put the AFM?

the AFM is attached is attached to the top part of the airbox...

 

x2 how did you flip the AFM and keep it secure?? Now you just need to do the ISR mod and youll be straight...i like your innovative idea though

 

Only candians could take a bad thing and make it worse.....

Agree with elton. Different, very different.

What was the point tho? What did you gain/accomplish by doing this?

And you should do something about that hokey tape job. That wont hold for very long, methinks.

 

 

hockey tape is off..that was temporary...got a proper clamp for it (you spelled canadian wrong)

 

OH NO sir, I spelt that correctly.....

 

yeah i mean duct tape would old much better than "hockey" tape...i too want to do what you accomplished besides getting better sound by taking out the resinator....I mean if all you wanted to do was take the resinator off you coud have put a little filter on the vacuum line off the engine and plug up the hole from the hose on the AFM. its just different thats the only word for it really. Is there any difference in the throttle response with the filter all "flipped naked" haha

 

ever hear the saying: "you can't polish a turd"?

heed the warning...

 

honestly didn't gain much...just thought it would look different...just basically wanted to get more air at the intake to try and maximize airflow

 

here's how you maximize the airflow of a 3.slow.....take it out, remove the upper intake, and blow into it. Prolly get better performance that way haha

 

i actually used duct tape (gone now though had to run out and get a clamp)

a little better throttle (not much) response and sounds better thats all

 

just don't speed threw mud puddles anymore you deffinetly got the different look accomplished Im not putting anything you did down im just still trying to figure it out still...how is your afm secure if its flipped??

 

is the 'afm' the whole top piece that the filter is attached to?

 

yes its the aluminum piece that is originaly ontop of the air filter

 

the afm flips very easily just loosen off the clamp where the intake tube attaches to and it slides right out then just flip it over.

right now it's attached by one bolt that just so happens to luckily line up with one of the stock holes in the airbox..its sturdy and wont be going anywhere

 

At leat "We Canadians" aren't trying to screw with daylight savings time!

 

Dont make me come to the border an throw a few rock filled snow-balls at ya. OK-EH

 

Don't you just love it when you take the time to share an idea and these people around here act like you just hit on their Mom's?

Seriously people, if you don't like an idea there is really no need to flame the guy and start making racist and nationalist remarks...

Grow up a little.
