Thank you!

I just installed an ISR on my 96 4runner, lifted, full armor, 33's, etc and it definitely made a difference in throttle response. Not really power, but just how quickly you get moving after hitting the gas. Absolutely a worthwhile investment.

That was close, for a minute I thought you were going to leave it chrome

Yes, definitely wheels and tires, and lift! I like the idea of custom bumpers, and it needs a roof rack with lights!

Deck plates when used on boats are for quick access to small storage compartments, things like ropes, spare fittings and that type of thing, when having an access lid might impact the integrity of the structure. My Dad used to sail small racing yachts.

Speaking from having owned a 2000 model (which could be different), I would definitely do the big tundra front brake upgrade and tundra struts. Brings back memories haha.

Again, more simple, but tasteful mods. Keep at it man. I’m sure the wife approves of you cleaning this up and making it safer, more comfortable and giving it a slightly more serious look.

​@@austinniemelaHi when you moved the vacuum line from the front did you cap it off? When you removed the vacuum line from the fuel pressure regulator and went to the manifold where did the other end of that vacuum line go and did you plug that as well?

I would have Hot-Glued a Bug Screen or a fine wire mesh on the inside of both orifice of the intake box to keep debris from clogging up the Air filter. All in All, it's a simple, cleaner and efficient mod. I loved it and you certainly earned my subscription. Cheers!

I don't know if this has been commented on, but, what you are calling a pressure regulator is not a regulator on 5VZFEs. It's a pulsation damper, used to control the fuel pressure fluctuations in the rail, when an injector opens. Older Toy's had regulators, that were vacuum referenced (connected to a manifold vacuum source). The hose connection on the damper is now a vent, connected to the intake duct before the throttle plate (no vacuum, except for a bit provided by airflow moving perpendicular to an orifice, think of a booster venturi in a carb, or pickup tube in an airbrush, but in a large duct, so the vacuum signal won't be that large, remember Bernoulli ?) . It's connected upstream of the plate, mostly for emissions ( if vapor sweats through the diaphragm, it's won't vent to atmosphere because of air filter), or a ruptured diaphragm. The pressure differential across the injector nozzle, that a regulator compensated for between closed (low manifold absolute pressure), and ambient pressure with the throttle WFO, is now done by software, or PWM of the fuel pump voltage (awful way, why don't fuel pumps last as long anymore ?). If you connect a damper to a vacuum source, you now have a regulator, and the ECU has to compensate for it by closed loop fuel trimming. Dampers also use a different rate spring, than a regulator. Might not be an issue, if the trim has a wide range, but if you have a vacuum leak, low fuel volume (bad pump or fuel restriction), the computer won't be able to trim far enough, and you can get driveability problems. Most aftermarket CAIs, either weld a bung to the duct, or provide a threaded barb to connect the vent hose to the duct. My advice is to install a threaded barb fitting, sized to the the original hose ID, in the duct, and run the same size hose from the hardline on the manifold, to it. I used to see hundreds of homemade CAI's, or incorrectly installed aftermarket CAI's, done that way on a engine with a damper, when I smog tested cars in Cali. Had to fail them too.

HEY You decided to do the deck plate mod I suggested! Works really well! just remember to put it in! I didn't once and nearly flooded my engine... It really helped my rig but she was overweight with every toy imaginable. Also on the HWY I notice .5 MPG increase... not much but I drove my runner everywhere when I got it It would get 15MPG with all the upgrades... After MAF Sensor clean, Deckplate mod, and removing the yakima rack from the roof I was averaging 16-17MPG on the HWY... nothing epic but like I said she was a Overbuilt Overland Beast.

I did! Seems to work great!

You can also cut the throttle body gasket. The factory “D” shaped gasket has part of the throttle body for no reason. You could just buy the circle gasket but it’s fine to cut.

Nice! Deckplate is always my 1st mod on any 3.4 haha

I like the idea behind the deck-plate, and have done so on my truck. However the silencers are there to cancel resonating intake charges. Without them, my truck makes a horrible screaming noise at red line. The resonators are there to smooth air delivery, and prevent pressure waves (created when intake valves close) from traveling back up the intake and disrupting flow. Unless you modify the rest of the intake, those resonators serve a purpose to keep the engine running well in a broad spectrum of loads and RPM's, and this is especially important with heavy use of vacuum lines. For these reasons, I cannot recommend removal of the intake resonators. The deck-plate also heats up your intake a bit, so I close it up on hot summer days. Have verified with a scangauge III.

I’m new to ur content but it is great stuff any more 3.4 content would help me a lot!

It's a good thing you used all those extensions on reassembly . Couldn't have cleared it otherwise 😏. thanks for working on this valuable content brother. Sláinte

First thing I did to my 04 love the videos thanks

If you guys ever decide to sell the 4Runner, I’d love to take her! She’s beautiful and getting better and better every mod 😎

G'day Boss, when you do the tint, check out XPEL it's American, and it outperforms all other tints. the lighter the tint the more it cuts BTUs and can be used on the windscreen. So when you drive in the arvo sun you won't cop the heat and get tired...

FYI Stihl chainsaw crank case vacuum line/ hose fits the majority of Toyota vacuum points in the engine bay and you can buy it by the metre from your Stihl dealer! And it’s very good quality rubber.

yep im doing this to my 01 tacoma next week for sure ! im doing close to 400km out of a tank with 5 speed 3.4 on 31's gonna compare after the mods if i notice some change

all the things you considered adding were good ideas. i really would like to see the bumper builds.

Deck plates are to add removable chairs or tables on boats Great video

Definitely bumpers! I haven’t seen a video of someone building nice custom bumper for the 3rd gens, would love to see what you come up with so I can possibly do the same to mine

my brother did the same exact modification to his 2002 tacoma 3.4 trd and his truck sounds just like an old johnson outboard . he took it to the state vehicle inspection station , and they put put boat registration numbers on the fenders !!

I had a 2001 the intake is the exact same. I've done the isr mod i had to drill a hole for vacuum line in the intake pipe. Didn't notice any difference besides looking better.

Toyota Grill in white lettering with black mesh, Review maintenance tips for helping it run a long time? fluids to change etc.

Removal of intake resonator may not have your intended effect. It's purpose is not just to decrease sound, but is a part of an engineered induction system. Plenty of info on the web. I agree it cleans up the engine bay and makes it more accessible.

works awesome! use 60 grit and some spray adhesive.....

I just used the 1989 3.0l air intake piece from the throttle body to the 1997 maf. Then clamped a 3” k&n Cone straight to the maf. Bolted it to the top of one of the coil packs. Rid yourself of all that crap at once. No it likely won’t pass visual smog check but going back to stock simply means swapping the whole set up from tb to air box. What’s that a couple bolts and a clamp?

Still a good job tho , and I was wondering what those stupid bulky attachments were on the stock intake , thanks for letting me know I would have no idea those are silencers , those have to go

I'd be interested in seeing soundproofing done to it? Maybe with dynamat in doors and maybe floor? Or rust inhibit the frame?

How about a screen to prevent critters from climbing in your air box?

The ISR Tube is no longer available on ebay. Where else might I find one?

If I was a kid, I would suggest removing the skylight and installing a clear bubble turret with a approved child seat.

1998 was the cut off year for the airbox on the 3.4 on tacoma/4runner.s most early years have the early style and late model have the newer style.

I just bout one for $300. Guy said it had a bad skip turned out. It just needed a new valve cover set.

Can you help.me.out? I need to replace the spark plug wires and the rats ate the old wires so what is the diagram for spark plug wires so I can install correctly? Iv searched online and asked the parts stores and no help found.can you help me in anyway thanks

I think you should put a 3vze motor from raptor engines in to something and review it.

next mod, Ryobi 48v leave blower into your desk plate (cut off relay on stock intake ) on demand supercharger =P , add a injector on your alum intake pipe , with a boost switch at max pedal push , and some way to trick the other sensors , =P

Are you sure that deck plate mod isn't too much air intake so you won't have to mod the exhaust or anything else? I'm thinking of doing that!

I’ll watch anything you do to it. If you tint the windows yourself I’d like to see a video on that.

What is the purpose of adding the vacuum line to the regulator?

Off road tires and rims and slide bars 😉😉

What is that tubing at the left backside of the engine that looks like it has grey tape holding the two pieces together?? Is that supposed to look like that?

I did the deck plate but didn’t like it as my filter was investing all kinds of road debris. But I’m thinking of doing the isr to an aftermarket intake hose and keeping my oem one in storage. Your link no longer works for the isr tube but I’m sure there’s gotta be forum posts about it somewhere.

Yea if you dont get that vacuum hose sealed off to that new location then it will duml fuel and send the extra through the egr and in turn put that pcv valve to good use..

Austin, thanks for showing these 2 mods. Question regarding the ISR mod, I assume that you plugged up the original hole from the fuel pressure regulator that was connected by the vacuum hose to the silencer which you disconnected at the 6:35 mark? Because you connected a new vacuum line from the new vacuum source to the fuel pressure regulator in the back of the manifold at the 10:27 mark? Thanks
