Aftermarket drop in filter Vs. Full aftermarket CAI

So with the URD calibrator, I could program it to draw more air? Could this also be done with the stock intake but new filter and secondary filter removed?

 

check out my URD Maf Cal Review Here: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/performance-tuning/229220-urd-maf-calibrator-review.html

made a world of difference with my intake. Intakes do make more power than the stock setup, it just depends on the type. Most anyone will recommend the afe stage 2 si (same as TRD gen 1) or the URD one. Both are dynoed by gadget to make an extra 10-15 whp. However the maf cal really brings it out with the correct map

 

I honestly feel more power at all load levels with the maf cal compared to before. The only thing that really distinguishes itself at WOT, is that my intake will stop resonating since its getting the extra fuel it needs.

When you look at the fuel map provided by gadget in the tuning software, you can clearly see that he has enriched the ratio way before you even reach full throttle. Pretty cool to see how your engine reacts to your right foot when you have it hooked up to your computer...

 

You commented on this same graph in another thread

 

That graph seems like a sick gain. What's the upgrades?

 

That graph is just the urd true cold air intake.

Check thisink for different mods with supporting graphs.

Don't do it for gains.....sound and a reusable filter makes it worth it (used for a good price atleast)!

 

True.....switched from the k&n oil filter to the AEM dryflow and the k&n was louder than shit at WOT!

 

If it is a vibrant performance air filter yes. Lol. A lot of the nicer brands have really good filtration though. So chances are, you aren't losing much, if any.

I am sure there are filtration tests out there. I know that SouthWest Research has done quite a few.

 

More air means less filtration but I'm sure its not a big deal as long as its not generic walmart filters!

 

I'm talking about generic cone style CAI filters (not even sure walmart has them)....vato zone does though lol!

 

I'm agreeing with that! The whole point of getting a CAI is noise and less filtration is the trade off....can't beat stock that's well known!

 

What's the item number for this filter if installing in a 2011 4.0L? Summit Racing's website is very vague in the fitment description. Thanks.

 

I just bought a TRD air filter. Which side of the filter assembly gets the new filter? The left with the accordian tubing, or the right above the engine? Thanks. Also, are any companies making a service manual for the 2nd Gen Tacomas?

 

Not exactly sure what your question is, stock CAI? There is only once place to put the filter for the stock CAI.

 

Stock setup. Inside are two filters. Which is the main filter that gets replaced?

 

Oh, I guess your seeing the charcoal filter, that doesn't come out. Well it can, but not what you want to change. Its sort of a grayish color. The one yo want to change is the one closest to the "accordian" intake tubing, has a gasket all the way around it and easily comes out.

 

Thanks.

 

No problem.

 

On another vehicle I had I had put a AirRaid CAI and throttle body spacer. I didn't notice any mpg increase but the sound was amazing whenever I punched the gas. Over in Houston alot of imports meet up at a place called Planet Zero, and a couple times when I was there some if of the guys actually thought I had a turbo because of the sound the CAI and the body spacer would make! It would make a hissing sound. Like I said. No mpg increase but the sound was great with my Aftermarket exhaust. Cheers!
