I have a 98 2wd hilux with the 22r carburated engine
I know I cant get much more power from this engine but I would like to try and free it up a litle bit and increase the throtle responce. It just seems to rev slowley.
What I am planning on doing is getting extractors and replacing the second muffler in the system (big long one) with a smaller "turbo flow type muffler" (oval with the pipe offset in the centre to give decent flow but still keep it quiet) It doesnt have a 'cat' in it so there is no restiction there.
I would also like to get a more free flowing intake on it aswell but I cant find a replacement K&N for the factory canister.
Could I just put a pod on the end of the intake pipe where the canister is now?
I am going to leave the factory carb and just get a good tune up, maybe get it cleaned and rebuilt.
It's because commercial vehicles like the Hilux don't have to comply with the same strict emissions standards as passenger cars, so they can get away with installing a much cheaper carby engine. Things are changing though which is why new Hilux's have EFI now.
Anybody know if I can just plumb on a pod filter to replace the factory canister since I cant find a k&n direct replacement?
Im guess I should be able to, not like there is any sensors etc.
What sort of exhaust setup should I look at from extractors back? Keep in mind I want to keep it quiet, hopefully not much more louder than factory, but still want to free it up a bit.
