Help a guy out.

[TeaK]

So, it obvious I'm new to this site and this is my first diesel anything. Hope to get some insite on the easy mods. I know of the egr blocker. I'd like to just delete it. But I better start small. This truck is my main set of wheels right now. I have a Tacoma X-Runner. But I'm doing body work to it. I have heard of a airbox mod. But don't know the details. And haven't looked. So can anyone help me out? Post up some links.

Yes, I get a EGR Blocker ASAP... As far the airbox mod unless your looking for every last .001 in the 1/4 mile I would leave it alone for now:thumb:

Dyno time :thumb: Pat spent lots of time on dyno. The only intake mod that showed any change was the Banks with the sealed RamAir. Which I wouldn't suggest anyone doing driving around in, where there is any chance of sucking water into the intake. I picked up .2 and 2 mph in the 1/4.

There are some threads here with before and after dyno's and a tutorial for sealing the box.

OK here is a thread from Wendy's dyno numbers :thumb: from almost 3 years ago.

Intresting But what about the fact that you can buy a intake that has a filter you re use With the price of filters and depending on what conditions you are in it usually is cheaper in the long run to buy a intake with a cleanable filter instead of buying new filters:thumb: Those numbers seem fishy I have seen other dyno's show increase and I have seen how restrictive a stock filter can be specailly when it gets sucked in

 

[Relentlesscummins]

Also what about MPGs? Any tests

Nope... I'm looking for every last .001 :driving: If I was worried about MPG I wouldn't be driving a CTS-V :woott:

They get pretty decent MPGs though from what I have seen and consider decent :thumb: No prious but who would want one of those:roflmao:

 

[lotsofmiles]

if anyone sees a cheap stock LBZ airbox, intake, and filter let me know. I want to try a mpg test but sold mine a couple years back

Ill post some pics after it gets above freezing and I can wash her. It's pretty much stock. 08 wheels on 265/70/17 Duravis 10 plys. 4" turbo back to 6" tip. I had to spray the front emblem satin black with krylon fusion.

EGR Blocker, and a PVC reroute are good to start with.

 

[TeaK]

OK, Got the blocker plate in. In my opinion, this thing spools quicker and sounds better. For some reason acts as if it gained me 1mpg while driving 55-60 in stage 3 hyper max tune. My trans cooler lines leak. Waitng for all season to get the line fix back in. PCV will be next. Resonator also. I would like to get a dry filter intake. Any specs for best choice out there?
