for those who bought the intake from ebay. did you guys have fitting problems? like did the filter and mass air flow kinda just hang once you installed it. and also theres two small brackets wondering if anyone know what to do with that.

heres a pic of what i got

Yah mine just kinda floats in mid air (filter) The intake you bought isnt for the 22re in our trucks its for the 4runner, they say its for the trucks but they ARE NOT. Im gonna swap my intake to the battery side when I move my battery to bed. If you can make a simple bracket or such you can probably make a brace coming off the block near the diizzy cap to hold the filter up. I used good ole zipties to make sure mine doesnt move around.

 

ARGGGHHH that's soo bogus! that explains alot on why i didn't really seam to fit right. thank you.

 

yup i bought it also and had the same problem but i love it now that its on

 

i like it to but to me the pipe is a lil too close to the distributer cap. also how did you support the filter and MAF? did you unplug your battery for an hour like the instructions said to do?(its saying to reset the ecu but at your own risk)

 

remember to find a way to route fresh cold air into the "new" intake you build up.
nothing better than helping the engine suck in hot air.

 

hey nam, any tips on how i would do that?

 

remember how the stock airbox had a small pipe from the front of the truck? I think that's what he means--so air from outside the truck can be rushed in, instead of using air from inside the engine bay. you could use some kind of flexible tubing, and maybe cut some holes to better avoid hot areas.

also, you could build some walls around the cone filter so that it becomes isolated from the hot engine bay.

 

go find a 4x4 air box and grab the ducting that pulls air from behind the headlight.

 

I'm a cheapass asian. I went to Lowe's/Home Depot and got some ~12ft ducting that's about 3" wide. fully extended i think it went to like 30ft or something.
Since my application is ghetto, works, and is completely different, I'll tell you how I did mine.

My intake is swapped over to the vehicle's RIGHT side. So the intake pipe is significantly shorter. the truck LOVES the shorter intake by a **** ton. The only issue is that I have to provide it fresh air.
At stops and superbly low speeds, it doesn't get my air (since no forward movement means no "ram air". My intake isn't "sealed" off from the radiating engine heat.
once I'm moving, fresh air flows through the duct and reaches the air intake of the truck.

Since my air assembly sits in the factory battery position, I routed a duct from behind the front bumper, down and up between the frame and wheel well i believe, and towards the air intake.

It makes a down and up, like a U.

The air duct itself is effective, drawing in fresh air, but to make it even better, you will need to make an enclosure from the engine bay itself.

^^ understandable?

^ OR that. lol

 

buwahahahah sig

 

hahah yea gotcha thank you!
