I remember reading about the debate. I remember someone or a few people mentioned that either way, the computer will adjust and that pullling the fuse will help it adjust faster. Once again, Thank you everyone for all the help! With this mod maybe i'll finally beat the local nsx around here! Well...maybe not

 

Javin:

those before and after pics will really help me out when I get around to doing the mod on my truck

Any way you can get in a little closer on those?

 

hehe...i was kidding about those before and after pictures. I don't have a "before" picture of the mod...but i can snap an "after" one if you want. you should also check bob's write-up. http://www.4runners.org/articles/airbox/. I'll respond to any messages fairly fast since i'm on here all day...no more school!

 

Well here's a pic. See the gap between the air box tube and the fender? There a pic of that link and from my earlier post of what you're taking out. HTH tacomadude

 

Here's a closer one

 

Peter and Jay,

That is why I took the hacksaw to the elbow part so that you can retain the fit between the air box and the elbow part. Looks more flush that way w/o the big ass gap that Jay's pic shows.

As we are in So Cal, I can't imagine us wandering into a flooded road or channel high enough for the elbow to ingest water, so to me, its a non-issue. However, if you go *looking* for one, that's another story!

Should i be feeling the difference right away? i think i notice a difference, but maybe it's just my head.

 

"Noticing" a difference usually involves >5HP. I believe this mod is just at 5, maybe a little less. So, chances are you may not "feel" it like you wanted. Keep modding though, I garantee you will start to feel it when they start to add up.

Intake, Header, Exhaust - you will feel that.

 

here's the real before and after pictures. but really, who's runner is that?

 

It belongs to some guy in the NBA.

 

In the NBA? i thought i've seen him post on here before with more pics.

 

I was kidding.

 

:pat:

 

 

I did notice the new sound! I like!
