    Anybody know where I can get a cold air intake kit for a 1993 toyota pickup? I've been looking for one but I can't find one. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    I see a lot of people getting them off e-bay,not a true cold air system as still draws air from the engine bay! You can cut a hole in the inner fender wall & use a reverse cone K&N filter,& what ever air tube you can find (got mine from Weapon-R),you can get a stainless air tube & silicone hoses from www.hosetechiniques.com.
    If you do it this way,make a half shield to protect the filter from stuff thrown from the tire!:cool:

    I was thinking of making some sort of cold air intake. Im going to do some looking & get 2 or 3 different types of intakes...piece them together & try to come up with something. Hell anything is possible with Ebay lol!!

    Ran a K & N stock replacement before I started my project, & it made a difference, flows a lot more air!! With the intakes as there are now,even more air,but the engine is drawing a lot more also, from 82mm to 94mm @ the pistons,& 2mm over @ the valves, with ported & polished head,& intake runners!:cool:

    I like that box too...this is what Ive got on my truck at the moment, but with that I could do something similar to what youve got & place my filter at the bottom under the fender somewhere so it can draw more cold air. How much would you want to make me one bro?? Donny

    Oh...its ok cause it really dont get wet much at because the inner fender does keep most of the dirt/water off of it lol! Plus the fact that I spray it down with wd40 when it rains too. :eek:
