Yeah, cutting a hole in the black bottom bumper would sound like a good idea. I think I will keep mine the way it is with my ISR for now. I need to fix my retarded headlight it points down. I finally found out what the problem is. There is a small metal mount inside that broke. If I squeeze my fingers in, I can glue it back together. Im going to try that.

why not a hood scoop ?
i know some e30 (bmw) tuners delete the high beam for the same reason, but they have 4 headlights.
if you have to have your intake in that spot, you could also hallow out a larger diameter around the light and it would still function from the sides of the light (or install a tiny high beam, as on some newer highend models- ellipsoid type)
either way. keep an open mind.

Wasup guys,
I'm in the City of San Fernando, nice to see some local Yota fans in the forum! I removed that plastic air funnel behind the driverside headlight just to see what it'll do and my truck is idling alot smoother! Can't say that my rig actually accelerates more as it might be just a placebo effect. But I like the way the engine is running at the moment, smooth. I wouldn't want to loose one of my headlights as I have HID conversions in there.

thats what i needed, thanks. yeah the 22re is different, i dont have that funnel, but my dad is trading in the 93 runner for a new toyota pickup in june and said i can have that corner funnel then im gonna fab it to fit mine, should be almost a drop in. ill just have to cut a hole in the air box and seal up the old one. thanks for the pix.

Black eye!
Got a blackeye too now! i haven't noticed any gains(mpg), but i dont have the funnel piece for the corner yet...
ill have one in june though when my dad trades in his runner.
it seems to have a harder time starting up, but once i get
onto grand where its 65, it feels noticably better, maybe its a placebo
effect though...
any updates on yours?
