2002 Tacoma Performance Mods

[SETXTOYOTRUX]

I have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L and I'm wanting to do some performance mods, and I would like some ideas. I already have a throttle body spacer, cold air intake, JBA stainless headers, and a Magnaflow catback. Thinking of an electric cooling fan, any ideas? Believe me I could use the help.

Thanks

Other than investing an arm, leg and your right testicle on a TRD supercharger, you don't have much other bolt on to add for power.

The intake on there is useless. The 3.4 stock intake works great when modified with the "Deckplate Mod" and also capping off all the resonators.

The TRD S/C is also the best investment for the truck.

Where can I find out how to do the Deckplate Mod? And what about the resanators. Sorry when it comes to these things I have to ask, thanks for being patient.

Here's a comparison of two identical engine bays. One with stock resonator. One without.





See the big black box on the intake tube right next to the throttle body? That's one resonator. The other is the small U-shaped plastic piece right next to it. Simply cap it off with any small PVC/Plumbing cap. In the 2nd photo, you can see that person also used clamps to prevent the caps from coming out. This is important because if for any reason they would come out, that air is not being filtered since it is past the airbox/filter.

Only other both-on that comes to mind is a lightweight crank pulley.
Reducing the weight from 10lbs (stock) to only 2 or 3 pounds should free up a few ponies. (however at the expense or $200 or $300 bones)
