I was skeptical but am happy with the result.

 

For Mr Rockstar, if you think mine looks like no leg day...

 

Here are a few as she sits, not washed yet, they said 48 hours. I'm giving it 72.

I am going to have the upper & lower parts of the grill wrapped in the same color.

CAI ordered early Decmber. finally came. AFE stepped up, upgraded the cai, threw in a second filter & cleaning kit I knew about & sent a bonus backpack.

 

Here are the individual parts.

 

It's in. Sounds ok, It's 20 degrees warmer than ambient because it has an open swath in the radiator facing side. I closed that up.

 

Just sounds ok?

 

Maybe it needed to run a few miles. It does sound good. I doubt there is a measurable increase in power but it feels good.

 

I have driven it a bit more. Closed it was the same temp as OEM, it sounds great and feels fine. I'm pretty sure any perceived gains are strictly due to the placebo effect.

 

Likely. But that's part of the fun.

 

Who believes this malarkey????

Yes! I used the M word!

 

Air intakes don't make much for measurable gains these days. If it was that easy to make a bunch more power with an easy and cheap air intake then they would have done it from the factory lol.

 

My point exactly. There were a slew of emission vacuum hoses I wanted gone, which is why I ordered the tube that deletes them (ports they went to blocked with plugs) I got the cai for less than 1/2 price due to their inability to fulfill the order in anything resembling a reasonable timeframe, they definately stepped up and made a bad situation better.

 

I also love how they say "up to 19hp" more lol. Could be +1hp, could even be +0 hp, or even negative hp...but definitely not +20hp.

 

All it's missing is VIRTUALLY!!!!!!

"Virtually 1000 HP gain!!!"

lol

 

okay, gonna say it: 66 pages for a Tunda? Sorry to piss on OP's parade but c'mon!

 

No, it's in the title: Tundra 86'd for an 86 which was 86'd for a Sequoia

Three different vehicles. Think of it as 22 pages per vehicle (so far)

 

You think 66 pages is a lot?

 

If so please allow me to introduce you to this 168 page gem:

Or perhaps this 1489 page behemoth?

After installing the intake, I saw that my throttle body was dirty, after cleaning it I installed an oil catch-can. I didn't want to spend upwards of 200 on the can so I found this pretty nifty one for 40 delivered on eBay.

It's in using stuff I had lying around and I'm happy.

 

The catch can was drawing air & making a lot of noise. I'm pretty sure causing another intake port & ruining the PVC vacuum I have this without the filter:


So I dragged this out of my drawer of parts:



Installed the filter over it & cranked down the clamp, no noise!


While I had the cover out I decided to clean it.

 

Building the Arduino based interface has begun!

I ordered it with the pins installed, after the second try I just decided to solder them, my 20+ year old Weller crapped out, I ordered a new station.

 

Who knows an Arduino coder?

These came Tuesday.

 

Teensy talking to the cluster (reading it) It was fun soldering the 64 pins.

 

Second board is in, both read the cluster, I found a guy on UPWORK that is writing the code.

 

Impressive.

Way more than I would do though

 

I get it, I posted this in Kris's thread, no one got it (so far)

 

 

Got full 2 way communication today!!!

 

It's a big day! We have interaction between the truck & new cluster. It sees the tach & is getting 4HI & oil pressure & gas level and a few other CAN signals from the truck!

 

I meant water temperature, not oil pressure.

 

This just happened! the truck is in 4HI, ABS & traction will go away when I restart or I may need to reset 0 point calibration. I can't use it yet as my breadboard is dying, I have a permanent board & 5V converter coming from Amazon tomorrow.

 

Nice! Is there a market for these swaps? Selling this could bring in some decent play money.

 

The brute force address sniffing of the new addresses was done over a year of evenings & weekends by someone else so it would be unethical of me to try to do anything with it but for my own truck(s)

Also, I doubt there are three people crazy enough to do this even with it already laid out. I'm very close to 1500 into it (much of it has been a "crafts" hobby) with a legitimate result which is how I look at it. I enjoy the chase as much if not more than the product.

I am pretty stoked with the result.

My breadboard has taken a crap from all the reconfiguring so I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver a 5v converter and PCB I can solder the CAN and Teensy into so I can make it permanent.

 

Cluster is in, working at 90% function (have a few false errors)

 

Directionals/hazards & cruise do not light up, everything else works.

 

TOW HAUL & Center Diff lock Auto LDS light up RSCA off does nothing. FYI

 

This came yesterday, love it!




Here's the brain behind the cluster, hard to believe it's 600mhz & has a gb of ram!

 

Woot! Range & distance plotting are enabled!

 

Nice!

Is that 30mpg accurate??
