Increase in HP

With this mod, Will i have to cap on the deck plate every time it rains??- the article says it may cause water damage to the engine...

 

Ah, now I'm not sure if I want to do the mod b/c it would be a pain in the ass if i needed to cap it every time it rained....FL is a rainy place too esp in the summer.

 

nevermind...bought all the supplies today. I'm doing it first thing tomorrow morning!...A guy from pepboys suggested getting a dryer vent duct hose, attach it air tight to the deck plate opening, and route it to face the wind under the truck...it would act like a ram air intake...I think Ill try that too...it seems to make sense.

 

Here it is...I was able to fit a 4" deck plate on my 2.7...I got the K&N filter too. Just waiting for the silicone to dry then Im taking it for a test drive!

 

Good job. I hope it will work for you.

 

Wow...the acceleration feels a bit quicker and smoother..nothing dramatic but i can feel I have to brake more (prob cause I'm going faster!) At first my check engine light turned on (is this normal?) it went away and has not come back so far...

 

All mental. You may get more air into that engine but you won't get out more then 3-4 hp and none of them bellow 2500 rpm. Your light will come ON again. Specially if you do any high altitude.

 

deckplate mod rules man, i got the deck plate for like 10 bucks at tracker boat.

 

Hey
im new here, have a new 2010 stock tacoma, i am reading these threads and now im wondering if i install a Deck Plate Mod. and bring it back to the dealer for service will this void my warranty, does anybody know. Also my Tacoma is very logy on takeoffs until i get up past 15 mph, any suggestions. thanks

 

thanks, any suggestions to my issue

 

not to bust anyones balls. intakes exhuasts and all the other mods can help open the door to higher power numbers but cars with the EFI need a programing to unlock the potential the car has with them.
