Adding Power to my Tacoma?! TRD Air Intake Mod | Sound Test + Review and Install (PTR03-35160)

[@ChloeKuo]

Do you have an upgraded intake? Or are you keeping it stock?? Remember to use code "chloekuo" for 5% off from Sparks Parts if you decide to go with the TRD one!

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Was curious to see if the TRD upper box had the charcoal filter still, looks like it does!

[@lynntrovert2471]

OMG, your channel is the best! The seat jackers are dope (I'm not a tall woman) and then give room for the compressor. From one software engineer to another, I'm literally following your roadmap. I wish you had a Jira server for it. :) Your truck looks so good in silver it finally put to rest my internal debate between inferno and silver. Every mod you pick is exactly what I would pick (want those sliders real bad). Thank you! So, so stoked I found your channel.

[@kiltsprospecting6162]

Sadly people don't realize your not increasing the amount of air your just making it easier for the air to flow and the engine to get what it needs. plus you can get the same results by just dropping in a K&N oiled filter without buying the TDR kit. Plus if you modify your original air entrance guard (see time stamp 9:14) and cut the splash guard (the half cup looking part off) you'll remove air floe restriction/turbulence. The only true way to increase air volume into the engine is with a turbo or a super charger. Yet with that all said you keep doing what you do Chloe. The look is nice and modding your vehicle is making it truly yours. keep up the good videos, and keep living the taco life.

[@saysbadman]

That's fairly true. With colder air it is denser which is why fuel economy drops in the winter. You will need more fuel with colder denser air, but you'll get a small bump in power. She claimed better fuel economy, but there could be a number of factors. So I do not know. I'll have to go back to see all the parts included with the kit, but it just looked like the upper air box, red colored couplers, the "performance" air filter, and the horn shaped rubber piece that attached to the bottom of the air box. I think she reused the middle part of the stock intake that includes the resonator box. I'll have to go back and look, but if it came with a new resonator box that would account for a different sound. I think the magic part is probably that horn shaped rubber piece if the kit does make any extra power. Watching people build cars, and messing with plenum shape/size, intake runner size/length, and the opening horn shape on individual throttle bodies affect horse power. Sure that kit may suck in a bit more water than the stock configuration, but it shouldn't hurt anything unless you submerge it or maybe block it with mud. Unless you hydrolock your engine, a bit of moisture should just steam clean your piston, and then exit the exhaust. What I like about this system is it opens up the intake, and maybe gets cooler air unlike an aftermarket cold air intake with a long tube. A long tube may get colder air, but throttle response suffers because it has to equalize the pressure of that longer tube where as a short intake would have better response. A short ram intake is subject to heat soak though. Edit; went back to look at the parts 2:38 it seems it comes with that middle black tube. So after measuring the tube diameter, and if it is the same you could stay with stock sound or go with the trd kit middle pipe. I'VE NEVER LAID HANDS ON THE KIT, but I would expect the only difference would be the resonator. You wouldn't hear the sound difference at the exhaust, but rather in the engine bay.

I put this upgraded intake together with the TRD Pro exhaust on my 2019 TRD 4X4 and had the same outcomes. Additional Gas mileage is between 2 to 3 mpg with a noticeable improvement in acceleration. However these mods are not cheap and you need to weigh that expense against suspension upgrades and accessories you may need for overlanding and camping. Bottom line, if you have the coinage, do it.

Chloe; I am amazed at the push-back on the TRD CAI. Its not TRULY a cold air intake but its volume is bigger. I experienced a 1.5-2 mpg uptick immediately with the CAI. Knowing though that what goes in must come out, I added the CAT back TRD exhaust. The mpg improvement of the two improvements is still 1.5 mpg, it sounds pretty mellow, it drives with a bit more power which also seemed to have eliminated the transmission downshifting issue people complain about. If people can stomach the $900 or so that the two items will cost (self installed), these are WELL worth it. I LOVE this truck.

[@smchasta]

One thing to note, the airflow accelerator should go through the hole into your fender well first and then the lower airbox slides onto it. If you try to push it against the hole inside the engine bay, the accelerator will collapse and leave a gap that pulls hot air from your engine bay.

[@rebeccaj1837]

I’m so bummed! I was going to order this for my 2021 TRD off-road but the website says it will not fit. I emailed sparks parts to confirm. You did a great job with the install and video. Looking forward to more. I love that you are a female and you aren’t afraid to wrench on your own vehicle. 👏

[@sparksparts7846]

Luckily it will fit all the way up to the 2021 without an issue! The only reason that it doesn't show that fitment on the website is because Toyota has to get them CARB approved in all 50 states before updating fitment. It will bolt on without an issue and if you are in an area that does not have emissions testing, you are all set!

Report back in a month or two when your ECU has reprogrammed to account for the increased airflow into the engine. I've tried a couple of intakes, both Injen and K&N. Both provided a bit louder intake noise and what I thought was a bit more torque but after a few hundred miles the trucks performance returned to normal if not a little less responsive. The only way intakes and high flow filters increase power correctly is to have the ECU retuned. It looks cool but I'm not sure looking cool under the hood increases performance or gas mileage.

Never owned a Toyota but just bought the Army Green Taco. This is a cool setup, bet combined with an exhaust and a tuner increases the HP and Torque significantly (along with better MPG and a cooler running engine). Did this to a Dakota I owned back in the 90's, that truck was bad ass. Ever look into this?

[@darksideemt]

This is pretty much what I was going to say. Now dropping a K&N type filter in the stock air box will give you the same benefits. If the connectors were smooth and not have the ribs then you would get better/smoother air flow which would help.

[@joelortiz9774]

The thing about channels like this, and I really do appreciate her content so please don’t take this as a hater comment but, she gets these parts for free or at a crazy discount in return for a video install/review, hence the discount code from the parts dealer. For the rest of us who pay full or close to full retail, we have to really consider if the gains are worth spending the money and if we really want the “TRD” logo under the hood for little power and more than $300 out of the piggy bank. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@joelortiz9774]

@Dale Macarena I don’t think it’s worth the money at all, and to answer your question, I DO feel like a direct K&N filter replacement would suffice and add the 1-2hp. Not a great place to go if you’re looking to add major power gains, go with a tune etc.. this particular TRD part is a pretty part to have to show off but, in my opinion, isn’t worth the hefty price tag at all.

one important thing to keep in mind; Any upgrade that is used for air flow intake into the motor, you should always get the vehicle tuned to account for the airflow.

Actually, the air flow sensor talks to the CPU and modifies the fuel mixture accordingly. Your engine is smart, and "learns" everything including the way you drive. There are no Tunes specific to a Cold Air Intake, because there is no need for one.

Welcome to the world of undisclosed sponsored videos.

[@markreams3192]

I like this intake but I don’t like the price. It looks great! I opted for a K&N intake that uses the stock air box and replaces the intake tube that eliminates the resonator box. I also got the intake air accelerator as a separate part. The K&N filter is basically the same as the TRD filter. In fact I believe K&N manufacturers the Toyota filter. I also noticed much better throttle response with this intake. I believe the stock Toyota filter is very restrictive! The bellows connector is replace by two flexible rubber connectors that are straight. I believe by eliminating the the bellows and resonator box you get a straight flow to the throttle body with less turbulence. K&N dyno tested this intake and got approximately 10hp and 10 foot pounds of torque increase. Third gen Tacoma’s have notoriously sluggish throttle response at light throttle application due to the part time Atkinson cycle engine. Replacing the stock intake solves this problem partially. You still feel a surge of power with full throttle acceleration when the cam phasers switch the cams back to Otto cycle. To me it feels like turbo lag. I also have a TRD exhaust that sounds great, especially with this intake! The K&N was about half the price! This intake is CARB certified so it will pass smog in California. Had the TRD intake been closer in price I probably would have bought it. I like the look!

[@tim3308]

Same set up - K&N straight tube, and the soft rubber "flange" type TRD PRO 2021 intake OEM part. BUT could not in good conscience use the K&N oiled filter. Just allows too much dust to pass, as I'm on dirt roads a lot. Stock filler.

[@blah67i]

Wouldn't replacing the air filter with the TRD air filter be the same thing minus $300?

[@ChloeKuo]

The design of the intake flow accelerator is completely different, although I’d agree that the upper air box, air bellow, and throttle body couple are nearly identical to the stock intake. A few people here have just replaced the intake flow accelerator and filter to the same parts that this kit uses and have gotten similar results as me, so that may be the way to go!

[@gonerydin4225]

It definitely looks nice! I'm not a big fan of the oiled gauze filters though. If I were to get one of these intakes I'd keep the OEM filter. Your engine compartment is so clean!

The whole point is in the filter itself pal

[@gonerydin4225]

@@Kamal_AL-Hinai The oiled gauze filters will destroy your engine unless you are just a mall ninja who never drives off highway. They provide no performance benefit at all. Prove me wrong. I'm waiting.

@@gonerydin4225 You're kinda right, Mishimoto doesn't recommend oiled filters for off roading. But i read that damage from oil filters will only occur if filter maintenance is being done wrong i.e spraying too much oil when re-oiling.

[@gonerydin4225]

@@Kamal_AL-Hinai So why risk it it for dubious advantage? The OEM filter performs adequately on a stock motor. And they are pretty cheap, all considered.

Good luck cleaning that filter, I find out is easier to buy a new one. However, it might be material for a new video. Good job.

Looks nice!

What’s worked well for me was a K&N High Flow Air Intake with the conical filter and open airbox plus Carven exhaust. Sounds very very mean for a V6, plus with KDMax tune it really picks up with the better airflow
