Some one to me to remove this filter ?

Some one told me if I remove to Charcoal filter I'll get better air flow true or faults good plan bad plan

 

WELCOME

 

Thanks

 

If it's part of the evap emissions system it will throw codes and the engine light will come on.

I know this because, we tried to bypass it on my boys 4Runner.

Welcome from CO.

 

How can I find out if it's part of the evap emissions call dealership

 

Is it the canister under the hood with a wire harness going to it? If so, dont do it. Are you talking about the vapor cannister?

If you want more air flow somewhere on here there is an airbox mod.

Or get a highflow drop-in air filter, I wouldn't mess too much with the emissions.

You could asked the dealer. Or wait till someone more knowledgeable than me says something.

 

It's the filter that on the lid of the air box

 

I would ask the dealer. I thought you were talking about the canister. Sorry!

 

I dident even think of emissions thank for the input I will report back with what I found

 

I removed mine long ago. Others have done the same. It's a Kalifornia thing, that Toyota did to them all. Doesn't cause any problems, but I can't say that it helped anything, either.

 

Ok thanks

 

I removed mine and had no issues or codes. I know people say it makes no real difference but i droped in AFE dry filter and replaced the tire air with nitrogen on the same night and to my surprise, i was able to spin the bfg’s again. It could be all in my head, but it fealt great to put my foot on the pedal

 

Does anyone have the link for the airbox mod?

 

I was referring to the additional air tunnel people are installing. Two holes into the box.

 

Toyota spends millions in research to make our vehicles both EPA compliant and efficient. No one wants to see more mileage than Toyota. Everyone I talked to about a tundra said "great truck, burns more gas that the other big three 1/2 tons..." I think it is mostly because we don't drop cylinders or play stupid engine games that ultimately shorten the life of the engine and cause major repair bills. We ask for everything all the time... I want 400HP, 500ftlb of torque, 27MPG, and if you could knock off $15k I'd buy it! How many times do we say "I want a diesel???" well chevy did it in the Colorado, but it costs $45k for a compact diesel pick up. Nissan tried it and everyone bitches because it isn't a 3/4-1 ton. Ram did it and they seem to either blow up or run great (flip a coin). At the end of the day we bought a truck. Trucks are made to haul and tow. Most of us use them like a car. You can't have it all. My biggest complaint that would be an easy fix is a 6.5' bed on a crew max. All the parts are laying around, they just need to offer it. We all knew when we signed the line that these trucks get 15mpg... It ain't a secret.

 

I thought that unchangeable filter media was weird but i am a man who believes in keeping everything stock for my peace of mind....now 20 years ago..i would have ripped it out no questions asked. lol

 

I heard you gain 3 mpg with this free mod.

 

All you need is an Air Flow Accelerator, and an upgraded air filter like an aFe, or TRD. The stock box is the same as the TRD box minus the red trim.

 

Ya I left in the caracol filter and was planning on getting filter and the box mod

 

OHHH I noticed that where I put my K&N in my air box I was wondering what that (extra) filter was, and if it needed Cleaning or anything like that.
Was also wondering about the box on the side of the intake is, Like a baffle of some kind.
