What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Full detail.

 

Its an air filter. Only way it gets "over taxed" is if you dont replace it or in this case, clean it often enough. Yes, I've lived in Phoenix and now the 2nd most dusty part of the world 2nd to Dubai; West Texas. 10 Seconds of air pressure is all thats needed.

 

Start over. What may be "28" on one gauge could be "29 on another. One may round up 28.6 = 29. One may round down 28.4 = 28. What program are you using for the first image? Is it calibrated to that TPMS?

And you only traveled 7 miles between readings in 37 degree weather. They wont warm up for at least 15-20 miles at highway speeds to change psi.

 

#giggle!

 

This is the default Toyota phone app for remote start, lock & unlock etc. It simply shows the same thing as on dash. I mean after DT pumped 36psi my dash showed 33psi. Looks like its the same thing shows on the Toyota app.

 

Did you get a proper gauge and confirm what DT told you was true? I'm guessing no and guessing that when you had air added, it was 36 and the tires were warm. You then looked at the gauge later and it says 33.

Air inside the tires expands and contracts with heat. When your tires are cold in the morning, they are reading one temperature. Now go for a decent drive at highway speed and watch the pressures increase over the miles. Typically on most passenger 31-33" tires, the change could be as much as 4lbs per tire. If you are driving in snow or rice, the change has less potential.

Take a pic of your dash first thing in the morning. Drive to work. Take another pic when you arrive.

 

I haven’t had a chance to load it yet. With the winter weather coming, I’m not sure when I will get a chance to go camping. Will definitely post a pic when I do have it fully loaded with gear.

 

Spectre is the brand.

 

I've found the 2020+ TPMS to be very accurate. I have an air gauge that's been ultra dependable for years, and it's always within half a PSI of what's reported on the dashboard. I think they only poll once every minute or so, but the readings will show eventually. If you had to drive to Discount Tire to get air then you didn't air up while the tires were cool. I try to air up for accuracy first thing in the morning. Of course, if you need air then you need air. I shoot for accuracy with cool tires. Is that right? I don't know.

 

So I just installed toyotec coils and now am lifted about 2.5 inches in the front and 2 inches in the back. How would I know if I need upper control arms?

 

No, I'm just kidding.

 

I remember mentioning wanting to run open pods on a motorcycle forum…for a japanese sportbike even…Everybody laughed at me for liking intake growl…. While they ran fart cans on their bikes. I was a little confused.

I seriously dont get when people stopped liking throaty engine sound. They’ll put a loud exhaust on a V6, but induction sound is a bridge too far?

Is this an inside joke from a fast and furious movie? Is it like saying “vtec yo”?

Unless you guys are just laughing because I have a booger on my face or something.

 

I agree with you, love the sound of a CAI, i just would not run one that gets a majority of the air from the engine compartment. The whole idea of introducing colder air and all. People can argue about it all they want, but it's all shooters preference. I mean we all over spend on modifications to personalize a station wagon after all.

Best deal on an intake right now.

 

Yeah this was unplanned I just stopped by at DT after a school. There's no time to cool down as it is like drive through thing where as soon as you pull to the air fill area someone will come and put air immediately.

 

check it in the am before heading out. Compare the gauge vs. car/app.

my gauge is only 1/2 lb off from what the car/app says.

 

Just a FYI for those in California, if you buy a after market intake, hold on to your OEM intake, when you smog it in 5 years, it will not pass with a after market intake. Had this problem with my tundra, had to buy one triple what I sold the original one for. Install for smog and put your after market box back after.

 

Hot air intake though.

 

I was thinking the same, that thing is going to heat soak like crazy as well.

 

Its a term, not a steadfast fact. Cold as in colder than if coming from a true carb intake on top of the engine. Cooler air (than the actual engine bay) does vent up from under the bumper/fender and that is roughly where they draw the air from.

And for the record, its the most expensive HP to $$ ratio you can buy... by far and I'm not a fan.

 

When stopped, engine bay temps soar so initially you will be getting hotter than ambient air temps until you get moving.

 

Thats true with the overwhelming vast majority of N/A vehicles.

 

Yes but at least if you pull air from outside of the engine bay, you minimize the initial rush of hot air that will lean out the AFR.

 

Todays ECU's make incremental adjustments every second. In EFI engines, it shouldnt be an issue. Carbs however... remember sync'ing gauges? Those sucked.

 

Believe it or not, our trucks already come with a Cold air intake.

 

Where in the app is the tire pressure?

 

Your alignment will be way off. That’s how you know. If you just lifted it, you’ll need an alignment ASAP. Once you get it aligned, post your specs on here. Ask for a print out of your numbers. We’ll be able to see if you need SPCs UCAs for a crappy alignment or just any UCAs cause your coilovers might b rubbing your OEM UCAs.

It sounds like you don’t need UCAs or a diff drop. Did you do the needle bearing replacement from ECGS? I’d do that before UCAs & a diff drop. I did new bump stops, extended brake lines, SPC UCAs, ECGS, diff & carrier bearing drop on my Tacoma. I haven’t lifted my 4Runner yet but plan to go toytec again

 

Never synced cabs myself but it looks like a pain.

The ECU will cut timing and/or adjust AFR when it sees that hot air. Once it's gone it will adjust for the cooler air but you would lose power for that time almost like hampering takeoff performance.

 

Open the Toyota app -> Click on "Vehicle status" -> click on "See Details" under Tire pressure

 

Changed out my radiator cap today.
