03' 4Runner V8 - "Pearl" The Prerunner Poser

[2UZ 120]

@turbomonty as everyone knows, its common place to boost these things, so everyone swaps out to Eagle for budget, Carillo and Crower for 500+ HP.

I believe Carillo made the originals for TRD on Ivan's 5.0 truck. I heard rumors of a stroked 4.7 up to a 5.7, but I think that was in Australia, or NZ. Tons more aftermarket support over there.

I never addressed the intake being exposed to water in the fender. The liners I installed were above the intake, so it was wide open. 13 inches of rain fell in a week right after the 4th, and after several good size puddles, I found water in the CAI. Close one.....
Hopefully remedied that issue yesterday.

I copied these liners from a guy named Sam on T4R.org, who had come up with idea years ago. They are 18 wheeler mud flaps, which I thought was a good choice. Cheap and easy to cut.


As you can see the intake is fully exposed.

So I already had a Spectre 4" 90*, then I came across this You Tube snorkel idea for a Tacoma, using some Spectre intake duct work and routing it up to the cowling.


So the new tubing just slid right inside the 90 and I clamped every thing up. Then trimmed the liner to fit. Best part about it is I didn't need to Zip tie anything with the liner cut right up there snug to the 90.
