ANOTHER deckplate mod question

Ummm....well how will that suck in any different air then deckplate they r both a large gaping hole in ur airbox....

 

Yea I gotcha now! But no....tryin to find a deckplate locally but not really had a chance to look everywhere. Not startin til I find 1. Imma look tmrw and Sunday. So maybe it'll be done next week!

 

I got mine for $3. plus shipping but still

 

Ok now u can't tell me that 2 3" or 4" deckplates side by side will pull too much air if that airbox in those 2 bottom pics doesn't pull too much

 

I see that uve got the 4banger. Well my buddy has a 96 with 4banger and he told me that he cudnt do the deckplate cause somethan about the airbox has ridges in it or some bs? Is urs not like that?

 

Alright. Preciate it. I'm bout to look on eBay.....now only if my gf will lemme borrow her credit card

 

Just try the elbow mod like I did-I like it. IMO the air supply from the fender is cooler than from the corner of the engine bay.

 

I was curious to what in the world the elbow mod was....but I found your thread about it! Another smart/easy idea! imma do both!

 

Very cool be sure to disconnect the positive cable of the battery , then do the mod, then reconnect the battery-this will speed up the ECU's learning of the new air flow.
Yeah I figure-try the elbow-then if you want more-do the dckplate-nothing to lose!

 

That's my exact plan. Elbow first. I preciate it! It'll be done tomorrow morning!

 

Fun give us a report when you're done and the better throttle response starts showing. I love the throttle response difference I have been enjoying since doing it. Chris 4x4 rightly insists that I do the deckplate-but I am so satisfied with this mod, I haven't done it yet plus-I still feel you stand to get doses of potential hotter air from the engine bay moreso than from inside the fender.

 

I understand that! But with the deckplate more air is not just bein pulled in...it's also bein pushed in more by the wind force...if that makes any sense. But have you also covered your silencers on ur intake hose?

 

No I left the silencer alone. Good point on the forced air. Your experiences with both mods will be interesting to hear

 

Well ill be sure to post up how it all goes! Elbow mod first though

 

I just got done with it. I'm lovin it. Cause covering up the silencers gives me more and better throttle response and power from start off! But then at about 30mph and up I get even more power and throttle response from both the silencer mod and elbow mod! Now just can't wait to find a deckplate!

 

boat shop

 

Yea. That's where imma go look tmrw. And a couple of supply stores around town

 

Academy sports carried them. And any boating place.

 

It's nice huh? I love how the truck just walks up long grades with not much pedal! Hey is your intake way louder with the silencers covered?

 

Not WAY louder. But its diffenatly noticeably louder!
