I test the new TRD Air Filters for 3.5L Turbo Engines plus we try with and without engine cover/silencer. Is it worth the money to change and can you tell a different just in driving experience? PN #PTR0334220
OK boss; here’s the deal. There are two types of fuel injection, Toyota uses…, port and direct. This vehicle the 2024 tundra has both Port and direct. 👍 The direct injection is used on the Eco mode, because it’s is metered precisely to give you better mileage, but it does not clean off your valves as it gets squirted into the combustion chamber. it will allow carbon deposits on the valves if you use it Eco mode.. at around 60,000 miles on your valves. It’s much better to drive it in sport or sport plus mode so that the Tundra can switch to the port injection mode.. that mode cleans your valves as it squirts gasoline over your valves and then into the combustion chamber (over the exhaust valves). As far as TRD air filters go, you better buy 4.. so you can easily swap them out at each cleaning.. because you need to clean and re oil them… It’s best to totally let the oil dry for a few days before installing it back in , so you don’t mess up your air fuel map sensors in the air tubes.. that excess oil can reck them .. El
These new drivetrains are awesome, but Ford hit the sweet spot with the 2.7 ecoboost. I get 27mpg with a 4x4 super crew at 65mph. And with 400 ft lbs it’s no slouch. I still would love to try out one of these Tundras!
That’s crazy your TRD pro truck didn’t come with those filters!! I have a 2023 TRD pro sequoia and it came with those TRD filters. Mine is lifters on 35” tires and gets around 13.5 mpg. Love my sequoia. 🤘🏻
Nice video. My truck didn't come with an engine cover. I considered those filters too.. I ended up splurging and got the jb4 tuner for my 2023 tundra limited and it made huge power. Way more than any intake or filters. More boost makes the truck louder too!
Two things, #1 without something to read decibels you can't be sure of sound. #2 theoretically because the filters give more air flow, you should get better mpgs and a slight bump in h.p. I just picked my 2 up for $77 and in the long run, that's cheaper then changing out paper air filters....just my 2 cents.
Honestly, I plan on having the dealer turn off the fake engine noise so I can hear the turbos on mine. As far as the air filters, I don't plan on doing anything really to mine. The power gains are probably negligible at best. If you really want more power, you need to tune the turbos.
not for nothing but if you plan on trading in under 60k miles and don't care about getting to 2-300k miles drop em in. check out project farm's filter test...k&n lets way more dirt into the engine...that said I did buy a pair to try lol...cool video
Smart man… keep them stock and change them more often.., if you need more air flow? Those race filters are for people that don’t care about the longevity of their engines.. way more supper tiny dirt particles will get into your system using the Hi flow type..
thank you! I was thinking about it but don't think I'll notice the difference for the money spent plus I think I prefer the new filters every 12 months
I am not getting Toyota’s line of thinking for the newer Tundras and Tacomas. Priced out my 2015 SR5 TRD off-road in the new 2024 and it is around $70k. My 5.7 V8 gets almost 16 mpg (currently at 15.9). Seems like with all the new digital displays and whatnot it’s just more stuff to break. I think they look great, but I don’t get spending $60k+ for what seems like less truck.
With all due respect, how could an artificial "pre-programed 3 mode sound" be changed by altering an air flow. If microphone had been placed by muffler ... (maybe)!? The sound in the cabine will remain the same, due to it's insulation and will not change UNLESS ... you change muffler(s), unrestrict chips limiting HP, etc. Even then sound would not have come from the engine bay. Only difference in measurements, both qualitative and quantitative would be visible on DANO & by dB reader. Plus the augmented sound is mandatory (I believe) on all EVs for estimating/realizing +/- own speed by noise level. I love the look of those TRD filters though LOL
Well actually that’s not always the case NewYork2T. My Raptor had augmented exhaust notes pumped into the cab and when I installed the Whipple intake and air filter, it added ALOT of sound. I was hoping to get the same out of these but it didn’t happen. Not a big deal, they still look good under the hood and they made the truck look better 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let me know if the AFE makes a difference please with their air filters and with these TRD ones installed. And ya, I’m digging the augmentation I guess 🤷🏻♂️
@@rant-n-rave7816 I will if go that route...I'm surprised TRD doesn't have one. I came so close to buying the TRD filters when I changed the break-in oil last week.
@@jagaro I’m with you on that one but maybe their engineers Thought about it and figured the reward for the intake is so slight it’s not worth the expense and people won’t buy it 🤔🤷🏻♂️. I’ll tell you though man, I still have my T-Rex order in and I love this truck so much I’m leaning to cancel it!
@@rant-n-rave7816 You're likely right. That's a crazy truck, for sure and undoubtedly would be a ton of fun! I'm really enjoying the PRO, as does my wife. It's funny to watch her drive it...she's so tiny behind the driver's seat 😂
That mileage is terrible! My 23 sr5 Offroad DC is getting in the 17’s (2500 miles) and I don’t baby it at all. Hard acceleration on entrance ramps. Maneuver around slower people on highway, etc.
Toyota should make it possible to disable the fake engine sound. In certain Lexus models it is possible to turn off fake engine noise via "ASC" knob. The funny thing also is that the lower trim Tundra's don't come with the fake engine sound.
You know, I thought I heard a little bit of turbo whine but it’s so faint over the augmented engine sounds, I couldn’t be sure. Not sure it’s worth a couple hundreds bucks though, 😂 🤷🏻♂️, oh well, glad I didn’t drop $800 on a complete intake system this is all I can expect. Thx for the post and watching 👌🏼👍🏼
@@rant-n-rave7816 The piped in sound doesn’t bother me one bit. I have those filters and I can say you can definitely hear the turbos more and really only hear them at lower RPMs. For what it’s worth the best consistent gas mileage was with those in and the truck definitely feels a little snappier. I live in New England so I took them out in the salt season of winter and I will leave them out during the pollen of spring. I don’t trust the protection of those type of filters during those seasons
@@alexthomasiii225 Great points Alex, over here in Commifornia it’s the dusty trails in the desert that bother us. The Mall-crawling is no big deal for the filters… It may be a little snappier and ya, I left the augmentation sounds on too. I was going to disable them and do a video with it all off but really it’s not that big of a deal to me unlike my Raptor which I hated. That sound Ford pipped in was terrible. Again, filters are cool, just not sure if you’re on a budget it’s worth the upgrade for the little gain it may provide 👍🏼
11.2? Try to set your mpg on per trip not average in menus.. it will give you true number of mpg. Using standard mpg will never be accurate because it could take 40 miles a trip to check real time and if you keep driving under 40 miles a day it will never be accurate. You are supposed to reset mpg every time if you're on average if you didn't know.. that's only for long distance trips and stopping 2 or three times. Smh mpg per trip can help with finding the best gas as well. I've found difference in different places filling up once a week.
Of course you wont hear a difference with the fake engine noise turned on. would have been a great video if that was turned off so you could hear the REAL eng. Sound.
Xpel XR Prime ceramic limo all the way around, clear on windshield and sunroof. No heat gets in with ceramic, we do it to all our vehicles and it’s the only way to go!
Does anyone know how to turn off the seat belt chime. I wear my seatbelt because I think it’s a good idea but it’s also my choice. But I don’t need a seatbelt on when I’m in a field on my property backing up to a trailer etc. it is annoying and unnecessary to hear. Thanks for any help
Get a carista OBD and app on your phone. Allows you to turn off all seat belt noise warnings (just not the red lights). First thing I did when I got my 2024 194 edition
Bro 11.2 is terrible! That better be with towing im 17.9 with traffic and I live in Washington where it's not flat and you csm totally here and different if you actually open your windows and turn off the fake engine noise
But don’t you feel better knowing those are in there? Kind of matches all that extra horsepower you get for putting in synthetic blend oils, premium fuels, nitrogen filled tires and red valve stems for your tires 😂 If you added fuzzy dice, you’ll get an extra 20 HP if you didn’t already know.
Ya, I’m with you on that man. I think it’s a placebo for the sound because i readily didn’t either…. But….. oh well, I sleep better now knowing those are in there 😂
