2TR-FE Performance Thread

TLDR of last post: Does anyone know of a reputable mapecu3 tuner?

 

Added a hps intake pipe, think it pairs well with my other mods, header, intake manifold spacer, charcoal filter delete, fender elbow delete. Has a nice but not obnoxious intake noise, feels like a few hp got let out of the stable and mpg is up a tick up as a bonus.

 

Best Cold Air Intake made‼️

I don’t know if the 3rd Gen. has a cotton air filter. But if they do, this is what I have been doing for years.
Get two factory air filters, then every time I change the oil I change the air filter. I then take a large spray bottle fill it about a third full of liquid laundry soap and the rest water. Spray and soak the air filter with the mix let it set for a while then take a garden hose and rinse out the filter from the opposite direction of the airflow. I hang the filter on a wire coat hanger to let it dry. When it’s dry back in the box to save for the next oil change.

 

I was very surprised it added a nice stockish improved tone which i was hesitant. I did not want to hear a loud intake everyday and lets face it you need to work these engines to get going so a loud intake would get old quick. Since i have a tooter style manifold spacer i had to install the pipe with the box uncliped and yank it over and latch it. Going to get a spacer and a few extra clamps, my hope was with a little driving under tension with the heat of the engine bay it would slightly stretch to its longer shape. I currently have a afe filter but was thinking of going back to just factory filter nice tip
