hmm yah that could be a slight problem lol I will take that into consideration lol

 

There is a "homemade snorkel" thread in 86-95 right now.

I'd do that. B/c mirror deep, is deep enough. And, it gives you a gauge to go by.

Look out window > see water level to > GTFO!

Truth be told, if you're in over mirror deep water, you're in too deep and better be looking to get out anyway. B/c there is a LOT more stuff to worry about other than the outside of your rig.

4Runners would be getting their interiors soaked at that depth.

And as with any snorkel mod, dielectric grease needs to go in every weather connector in addition.

And it gets out-side air. Dramatically cooler than under-hood inside.

 

I always considered a snorkel... But I thought they give more access for water to get into your intake when it rains/snows being that it's not really covered?

What's the link to that thread if you don't mind...

Roscoe! whats up man this is ian howard. i posted this thread and yeah i have a cold air that im in the process of doin right now. my dad works at baxters in centralia and im just waitin on the adapter to hook it up.

 

WHAT!!! No way man! Thats crazy!!! Since your right out here you should show me your setup sometime lol

 

yeah man i will for sure. i dont got it set up yet but it should happen soon

 

Considering that cold air intakes have problems when there just on cars that stay on one road I wouldn’t do it. If you do go with a CAI get a by pass valve. This prevents water from getting sucked into the engine if your filter gets submerged in water. then again mud and water are two different things... but here ya go this is the bypass valve i used before and never had a problrm.

Thanx bobby, that will come in handy

 

O and by the way bobby, did you see a significant difference in power or gas when you had the CAI installed and if so how much

 

well my CAI was used on my b-13 se-r so i cant compare the two really sr20 to a 22re. the theoy is by placing your fliter out of your engine bay is sucks cold air which the colder the air the more dense it is. so power and mpg do go up alittle but to be honest if you off-road at all its a waste of time and money.

 

thank you

 

Since we're on the subject...

IF, I was gonna do a cold-air. There's a great source right under the stock air box (for EFI).


Just drill a hole through the air box, and the fender apron. You can even make a deflector so mud doesnt get slung right into the hole.

Air will have a straight shot to the filter then.

Water is another story... But, to add to Bobby's post about a valve. There should be a way to rig a float type valve so that if submerged it will float up and shut off the supply, and then it'll go right back to the factory inlet.


Just a tot, but nowhere near a fix.

 

not much you can do to a 22re to get alot of power but if your engine runs good you should have no trouble with 31's. mine runs 31's and has no problem pulling them or turning them over

 

Mine is having issues turning the 33's lol O well, its a yota... not a sports car lol

 

if your truck is slow because of larger tires, the ONLY way to fix it is to get lower gears in the axles.


no way around it (except motor swap)
