bit by mod bug

last week i installed a small lift
today i did the differental breather relocation mod
and now i wanna do a deck plate mod
so my question is where can i get a deck plate??
i have a 98 2.7 tacoma 4wd

 

you'll need a 4 inch deckplate.....and online, you can get one from overtons.com, or if you have a local boating supply place...they should have them.

the deckplate mod is awesome man!!

 

would a place that sells boats and atvs and utvs have them ?
and i have a marine store thats like 2 miles away from my house but im not shure if its out of buisness or not?

 

what does the deckplate do?

 

you cut a 3 inch hole in your air box and put a deck plate in and when you remove it BOOM extra horses

 

the inlet "horn" on the stock air cleaner box is pretty small. a deckplate (when open) mod will allow a lot more air in quickly. some say it gives you more ponies than a 300 dollar CAI does.

you can follow up the deckplate mod with the intake silencer mod if you want a growl when you put your foot in it.

 

ahh... thanks guys...

 

i may have misspoken when i said "4inch deckplate".........it may or may not fit the 2.7 motor. a 3 inch(if they make them) may fit it........4 inch may,but im honestly not totally sure.

 

ill get out tomarro and measure to see

 

I know its offtopic but I helped put in an irrigation system in Mr.Overton's house before I moved back to the homefront. This dude has his own lake and golf course and grounds crew on his land. Ridiculous income and the worst part is he's not that smart but he is a nice guy.

 

Go here to learn about the deck plate

The writeup at TRDOffroad says the biggest that'll fit on a 4 banger is a 3 incher:

Materials and items needed:
- 3-5 inch deckplate (3" is as big as you can fit on a 4-cyl)
- 3/4 inch long pan head screws
- matching nuts, (nylocks prefered) and washers
- 1 bottle of black RTV "sensor safe" silicone

I've never seen under the hood of a 4 so smart money would take Chris' word for it.

 

a 4 inch will fit but the windsheild washer fluid filler will be in the way
but is it possible to put it on the side???
it looks like threr would be enought room

 

you can still install the deckplate in front.........washer filler wont have any real negative affects....maybe a bit tighter to get the cap screwed in.....but you'll be leaving it off for the biggest majority of the time.

 

A 4" will fit.
That what I put in my 2002 2.7
It gets a little louder in full throttle
The deckplate barely fits so measure 3 times and cut once
