URD TRUE COLD AIR INTAKE, 05+ Tacoma 4.0L V6

 $289.00 

Description

URD TRUE COLD AIR INTAKE, 05+ Tacoma 4.0L V6



 

 

URD's True Cold Air Intake System for the 2005+ V6 Tacoma Trucks 

URD tested many designs to ensure you are installing a superior True Cold Air Intake (TCAI).  There are many intake systems on the market called "Cold Air Intakes," but many are nothing of the sort.  Our testing demonstrates that air drawn from inside the engine compartment is not as cold as air from outside the engine bay.  It is that simple.

URD found that inducting air from the grill area is about 30 degrees cooler than inducting air anywhere from under the hood.  When vehicle speed increases dynamic air pressure increases thus forcing more air into the engine.

Another TCAI placement advantage is in cab noise reduction.  Make no mistake about it, the acoustics of this intake system at maximum RPM and wide-open throttle are very impressive, but the placement of the intake lessens noise inside the vehicle.  It will however get the attention of those you are passing.

Note that simply placing a filter in front of the truck does not make a good CAI. There are a number of subtle URD design attributes that are integrated into the TCAI to ensure a proper MAF Sensor reading.

URD's TCAI uses the highest quality dry media air filter available.  We chose the high end Amsoil/Injen nano fiber intake filter with an internal forcing cone.  This provides the best filtration available so there are no worries about the MAF sensor being contaminated with oil from other filter types.

URD's TCAI Systems are powder coated with a high quality black wrinkle finish and ship with all the required hardware and a very detailed, easy to follow installation manual.  Installation will require removing a small section of sheet metal between the passenger headlight and radiator.  This is easily done using an included template.

To extract the maximum benefit from the URD TCAI we recommend installation of our MAF Sensor Calibration Unit.  This unit will electronically optimize fuel mixture for the greatest performance benefit.  When you purchase the URD MAF Sensor Calibrator with the URD TCAI a special map will be preloaded into the Calibrator optimized for an otherwise stock vehicle.  The Calibrator is end user tunable to compensate for other performance modifications you may have or may install in the future. 

Legal in California Only for Racing Vehicles Which May Never be Used on a Highway.

Note: Only black powdercoat is available

 


 

HydroShield Pre-Filters are available for the URD TCAI.  Click here to order.

 


 

If you intend to use the URD TCAI with an aftermarket grill that completely un-shrouds the filter, you may want to consider using a shield to give the filter similar protection that the stock grill gives it.  Click here to order

Add MAF Sensor Calibrator: Yes ( + $199.99 )

What a great upgrade, very easy install took about 4 hours to do the whole thing and I'm really happy with the gains. URD really nailed those install instructions. If you can open your door and find the ignition, you can do this mod !!! It has a meaner sound while normal driving and when you open that baby up it just screams, like everyone says right around that 3800 4000 rpm range you know you got something good under the hood! I did the two seperate to see the difference the Maf Cal makes, and I gotta say the TCAI by itself is a great stand alone product. You get a great new deeper sound at regular around town and casual driving and a much better throttle response. It is a little meater sounding a little bit more of a growl, but when you kick into those higher revs you can definately feel the increase in power, and that growl gives way to a more screaming sound, hahaha I love it. You can feel the difference in the accelerator pedal with your foot which just adds to the overall enjoyment and even when you drop off the throttle at those higher revs it even has a bit of a snarl now, just a little bit. But that URD Maf Cal is really the way to go to bring out the true expression of upgraded power from the TCAI. It really picks up that bottom end when in lower rpms and adds just the perfect amount of over the top power to that top end. At first it is kinda of tricky because the sound is louder, you think your on it more than you are and the first perception is "aww I thought I'd feel more power" but when you just lay back and really drive it you start to notice the difference more and more. I really noticed the improvements after I got away from listening and watching my rpms and trying to gauge the difference consciously. When I just turned on the tunes nice and loud and just did regular driving, It was like "whoa there it is, that's definately faster acceleration than I had before", it also seems alot smoother in the shifts, so once you stomp, the power is there and it's just a nice continous pull shift to shift. You can't go wrong with URD they really did their homework on this product, even in the box in a pile of pieces you can tell this is a high quality piece of work. Pictures cannot do this TCAI justice once you have it in your hands you will be impressed with URD's craftmanship and the thouroghness of the parts designs. I went ahead and sprang for the Plug and Play harness and again I gotta say this was another excellent product. It made the Maf Cal install literally a 6 minute job. I couldn't imagine trying to get in there and locate your wires and soldering and making the connections in that bowl of spaghetti...lol, that is a really tight space and would probably take at least an hour not to mention the toll on your body trying to lay underneath there with a soldering iron all cramped upside down dripping solder on yourself and the frying of your brain trying to keep all those wires out of the way and in order while you work. Just pull the wired clips out of the stock harness, plug in the P&P, fold it up, plug the trucks wiring in the new harness and tie the Maf Cal down. It is also a very nicely done product by URD super high quality materials super high quality workmanship. Worth every penny. Thanks goes to Gadget at URD excellent, excellent stuff!!! If you don't go with URD you aint got nothing under the hood!..
