Yes you do need the later year airbox and it can come from a tacoma or a 4runner because they are the same. If you get a used one it may or may not come with a MAF. If it doesnt you will need to buy a new one from toyota which is about $130. Also make sure it has the screws for the MAF. If not you can get them at home depot. The box bolts right up and hooks right into your stock intake hose. Make sure you repin your connector per my posting. Your code PO171 is most likely caused from your MAF. I have honestly never done an ohms test on a maf. Anytime a PO171 comes up 90% of the time is a bad MAF. Other times its been a random vac leak. You can either go to the new setup or if you want to stick with your current setup I have my used 97 MAF for sale here which is in good cond. If you need anymore help with the new box/maf setup, let me know!

 

That Ohm reading looks within spec to me.
If your particular MAF reads closer to 3000Ohm at 68F then at 71.5 it can still be above 2000Ohm

 

according to the chart it isnt reading correctly. I would check all your hoses then do your swap

 

Yeah I was thinking it should be reading closer to 1900 ohms or so by that chart. I double checked all the vacuum lines on the intake and everything looks intact.

Guess I'll look around for some parts.

 

Sweeeet!

 

Let me know if you need any help with your new setup when you get parts!

 

I wish i would have known they had the headlights there for that cheap. I need some for my 97 runner. I work in the same building at the Volkswagen/ Audi yard.

 

Well I only got them at that price because the buckets were damaged. Normally I think they are $75 each for good ones. They get new runners in all the time so check with him and tell him you are from yotatech so you will get a discount

 

Very interested in the mod you described at the beginning of the thread but I can't see any pics either here or the linked site. Would consider the mod but need to know everything I will need to get out of a 3rd gen flight 2 (99-02). I have been doing a sort of mod conversion on my 98, center console was the start and now working on the radio bezel, got a complete radio bezel with the wiring harness/connectors. Head lights are next when I can find a pair that arn't going to cost me $100. Been wanting to do the cold air ram but the kits for my year runner are very hard to find. Seems if I can find the 2nd flight MAF and connector, I could just go directly to the newer cold air intake. I could use the wire/pins set up for a conversion. Thanks

 

I looked and all the pics are working. Not sure why you cant see them. For the airbox conversion all you need is a 99-02 4runner/tacoma airbox and MAF sensor. That all bolts right in without any modification. As far as the connector, the linked site tells you what color wire goes where in the connector. Its pretty easy. Only 4 of the 5 wires need to be moved around. Let me know if you need any help with it!

 

Sweet looking upgrades, sounds really good at 70 too!

 

that is an awesome truck, my engine might be going out soon (go figure huh? an unreliable 3vz) thats about what i want my next truck to be...

 

hey toytech, what kind of lift, and tires do you have on there? looks REALLY good

and how much were the supra mafs when you looked? just curious...

 

Thanks! I have the revtek 3" on the front plus another 3/8-1/2 spacer on top of the studs. In the rear I have front 97 land cruiser coils and shocks. The tires are 33x12.5/15 pro comp mud terrains and the rims are the pro comp 15X8 1069 alloys. We should get all the sac area people together and check out each others trucks. I actually never priced the supra maf's just because I figured no one would have one and that they were kind of expensive. I got my whole airbox setup for $50 so that was cheaper and easier

 

Got the later model airbox & MAF but forgot to get the screws. Do you remember what size they are? Going to re-pin now...

{edit] Re-pin was simple. Hex cap screws are 4mm x 20mm, picked up those & lock washers at HD for $1.00.

 

How do you like it now?

 

Eh, garage door spring broke, truck stuck inside. I'll let you know in a few days.

 

old thread and all but i just did the 99-up air box conversion got the parts cheap off ebay had to search for awhile but i got the box with intake for $35shipped.... and a good working maf for $8 dollars shipped yes i said 8 dollars.... the wiring is pretty simple works great and has a little more power and that's with out the deck plate mod but i do have all that tube crap taken out of the fender

 

Badask 4Runner! I love clean lifted 3rd gens
