    and the fact that you can close it up on water crossings/ general off-roading is great too

      I know right its so easy just slide the cap behind the seat and if u are gonna go fording boom slap it on.

    Great idea. You can also get these cleanouts in black ABS plastic.

    I suggest getting an Airaid Intake tube as well as it really cleans up the engine bay and adds extra power, it is a little pricey but I've been running mine for a year now and I love it definitely a difference in power when combining both the deck plate mod and this tube or you could do an isr mod too. - definitely, worth it, I can actually pass people now. and for those thinking that a cold air intake is better for this engine or in general, well the answer is that it sucks going up grades/moutains or big hills absolutely no climbing power vs this mod. just my review and 2 cents.

      @@pedromunoz3513 yes, if you are ok with the sound, it is a little loud when accelerating.
      I recently ported my intake too which when combining everything really wakes this motor up. if you don't have the supercharger this is the way to go 👍🏼

    great idea though basically exactly the same as the deck plate mod but kind of looks cooler like a velocity stack 👍🏼 great video

    Do you have to reset the battery once mod is done? And would you recommend doing it to a supercharged Tacoma? More heat 🥴

    • @weekendwrench
      @weekendwrench  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Brother those are some outstanding questions so let's start with the supercharged question I would run it and monitor intake air temps via scangauge I already have this data for non-supercharged and overall I ran about 5°f warmer but that's only after sitting idle for 10 mins in the summer heat vs driving with it closed. Question 2 the reset.... this I usually only do if I clean the throttle body and mass air flow sensor but just installing or removing I do not and don't foresee any reason to do so. If my taco was supercharged I would still run it open all day unless I go fording. The radiator and coolant are still going to operate at same temps as non-SC

      Do this and win I like it. I just carry the cap in my seat storage behind the passenger if I ever need to put it on. I may never put it on unless I had a snorkel honestly. Mpg showed 1.87 increase the very next day

    I am about to do this mod to my taco. However, I feel like using a deckplate and applying self tapping screws would hold together better. I am not Knocking your idea at all. I just wanted to know how your mod is holding up with only RTV?

    • @weekendwrench
      @weekendwrench  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Its holding up perfectly honestly I still check it every now and again and it's still as strong as ever I used a silicone based rtv due to its resistance to degradation to extreme hot and cold temps I feel like rtv is a better airtight seal instead of screws which if not placed correctly or over tightened can crack the plastic but all in all take what u can from the video and if u can modify to your liking my friend it's your vehicle let us know how it goes and what u decide on. Thanks for commenting.

      If you are concerned with vibrations. The ultra gray RTV will hold better than the ultra black.

    Why don’t you open the Airbox where you put in the filter No cutting anything super simple super cheap

    • @weekendwrench
      @weekendwrench  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      By doing that the lid would just wiggle back and forth and might eventually break or snap and hit the fan blade while the engine is running.

    • @weekendwrench
      @weekendwrench  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      🤦‍♂️ no believe it or not the factory intake outperforms the short ram air intakes. Tested this theory for over a year. Also the cones let more dirt of a larger micron thru into the engine. Project farm proved this with the k&n filters as well.
