- This video is somewhere between a step by step "how-to" video and a vlog on a K&N Cold Air Intake install for a 2.7L Toyota Tacoma. The goal was to try and get a few extra ponies to help my lifted 2nd gen Tacoma 4x4 struggle less on the daily commute. Pretty simple install, only a few snags along the way.Social Media Links

What you need is a sprint booster!!!
I put one in my 2.7 Toyota Tacoma 2018 pickup and it totally transformed the motor response night and day and it takes only about 20 minutes to put it in and it will change your Driving Experience and if you don't like it it's money back satisfaction guarantee you can't beat it !!!
Lol, as crazy as it sounds, this comment isn't lying. The throttle on the 2.7 is so slow, the sprint boost allows the engine to feel more peppy. I currently have a rental 2.7 Taco but if I owned it, the sprint booster would be my very first mod. The intake would be purley for sound.
bad idea. personally would never put an aftermarket electronic between the throttle pedal and the ecu. get a tune, better results, performence, and no worrying if that aftermarket part will fail on you. these tunes have been tested for years and not a single unhappy person. I got the 2.7 OTT tune on mine and would never drive another tacoma without it.
It’s ready for the drag strip.
ready to eat Nissan Frontiers for lunch
@@Str8sixfan ya.
Thank you for this video, helped me out when the pictures had me confused
No problem! That's exactly what it's here for!
That's a improvement with kn filter
for sure! Thanks for watching
When he slaps the sticker on that’s also adds HP
Nice job Grant. Made it look very easy. Big Al.
when you edit, and realize struggling isn't entertaining to the masses... it tends to look easy 😉
Thanks very much for this video, very helpful and informative for the 2nd gen 4cyl Taco peeps! Freaking Amazon left out the hose that connects the throttle body to the intake tube... So I'm gonna try my best to contact K&N tomorrow, the day before Thanksgiving and the first day of my 48 hour shift across town, to try and get my only vehicle running again ASAP lol. Time to borrow my parents car 😂
K&N was super helpful for me, hope it works out the same for you. And happy to help.
Hey ya gotta watch those K&N air filters that require oil......for 2 reasons: First, "oil bath air filters" are OLD technology, that is actually rather dumb nowadays, because the necessary oil in the filter attracts & holds dust & dirt, but secondly, even after cleaning them frequently, then spraying with fresh oil, after a while, it can really wreak havoc on your mass airflow sensor!!! Lot's of guys who bought K&N cold air intakes are complaining about their MAF's going bad. So I bought the direct replacement that is A DRY FILTER, that is totally re-usable & washable with compressed air and vaccum cleaner made by INJEN TECHNOLOGY......and now I don't have to worry about dirtying up my MAF. You should do the same.........the dry filter version made by InjenTechnology costs around $75.00, and lasts just as long as the oiled version by K&N. Injen has also been designing & selling their own complete cold air intake kits for various engines for quite some time, and they are also very high quality. I love mine. Sounds awesome too, when I romp on the throttle.
nice! Yea I have a dry filter on my wife's Mustang and I very much like it.
@@Str8sixfan Sorry, I had the name of the company wrong.....the name is INJEN Technology........not "Inject Technologies".
Good step by step video.
Appreciate that! I think this video should perform well long term because of it
Yeah I liked it I wanna do my truck one love the
Sounds
good luck!
Great how to/step by step video!...the kit looks great installed and sounds like it added some performance with the "chirp" 🦾🏁
I am liking it thus far
how many mile you have on your truck i just bought one it has 20529 mile it 2021 i really like it coz i’m an old man ❤😂
well I sold it back in January, but it has 197,000 on it. I think it had 106,000 when ai bought it
I think I heard you say you installed taller tires and did you re-gear the differential to account for it? If not the re-gearing will help you out. I just did a drop in K&N and removed the the air silencing chamber located behind the fender liner and I noticed quite the difference the acceleration.
I did put on bigger tires, however it was less than 1" in diameter difference. Hence why I'm not really looking into the expense of re-gearing. But yea, I'd recommend everyone do what you did. Better R.O.I. in my opinion.
*This is compelling video, Grant! Your filming quality is excellent! I don't own a Tacoma, but I couldn't stop watching. Kudos!*
good to hear Will, should perform well over the life of this video then
Wow, that's a ton of steps to install a cold air intake. You did such a great job I have only 1 question. Did you use painters tape for a band aid?
yes, this was how I remedied slicing my finger with a flat head screwdriver right above the nail bed. Good catch!
@@Str8sixfan ouch
Hey thinking about getting a Tacoma and doing this, how does it effect the mpg? And what about reprogramming the computer for long-term care? Very informative thanks!
Honestly, whatever the timeframe is since I've uploaded this...my review is...not worth the money. Next to no improvement on MPG. I'd recommend a hi-flow drop in filter and doing some mod to the inlet side of the airbox. I did no reprogramming. But it does sound better when I'm passing people on the highway ;)
I have a 2008 4 cylinder Tacoma and I want it to go a bit faster would you say the intake is worth it?
no. I'd believe the forums who say get a K&N drop in filter and modify the stock air box
What exactly is the Toyota identifier letters/numbers for your 2.7 liter engine? For example: my 2000 Tacoma has the 2.7 liter known as the 3RZ-FE engine. My engine was produced from 1995 through 2004.
I honestly don't know, I'd have to look it up
it’s the 2tr-fe
@@iCostiG Yes, that's right. Thank you.
The filter part on mine shakes when i out it in gear, any suggestions on what I can do or should do?
If I remember tomorrow, I will try to do a TH-cam Short on this
I have a Short I will upload on Saturday that I hope helps. I will try and tag you in it
Did you look into the AEF intake versus K&N?
I did not
Did your idle change at all after installing mine went to like 500 rpm’s while in drive at stop lights
haven't noticed
Great video. 🤘🏁
Heck yea
Nice work on the install. Should really help that 4 cylinder move down the highway.
early returns seem to indicate it is going to help!
The kn clean the air good?
haha, I think so
Do you have a exhaust?
I do not
@@Str8sixfan WOW so that’s stock 2.7l tacoma sound with the intake?
@@gabehardman yes, when you stand on it
Have you noticed any difference in the mpg for months later?
not really, though winter driving not the best test either.
@@Str8sixfan notice any performer change at all?
@@CATALYSTdrummer yea it helps with some of the uphill situations, and pulling into traffic
I'm sure it's the same as replacing the exhaust header, which provides a 10% increase in horses without changing mpg. Increasing the airflow at both ends is a good thing.
Throw everyone off and get a Chevy 😂
There may be a reason to do so some day
@@Str8sixfan the day is now monster rust is asking for it damn it
