    go ahead and install it

    VOIDS all emissions warranty (86,000 miles if you wanna know)

    VIOLATES CARB

    VOIDS all engine warranty

    might make cats literally explode if raw gas hits them
    when that thing screws up

    did you know that air/fuel injected into the motor cools the piston
    to some extent and this is part of the design factor ? Choke off
    fuel spray on some cylinders on a motor not designed to do so could
    melt valves, piston, score the walls....hey now, does that sound fun ?
    also the lean condition occurring as this chokes fuel can overheat that
    cylinder and spark plug

    Tacoma cylinders are extremely thin lined and cannot be bored, there
    is not much room for extra wear.


    Other than that, go riiiiiight ahead.

    Like Catbone said, those of us who remember the Cadillac 8-6-4 have serious reservations. I believe that this is something that is already being done in places from the factory but I would have serious reservations doing it aftermarket.
