D4D Air cleaner ?

10-02-2010, 03:52 PM

All,

I have been looking at fitting a snorkel to the Prado lately. While looking at the existing airbox, I have noticed there is a separate part that is bolted to the top of the box. I cannot work out what it is for :|

It seems to connect into the intake hose after the sensor too...

Any ideas ?

It's a resonator box. Manufacturers generally fit them to tune out unwanted intake noises. The 1kz has the same thing (actually the identical airbox minus the sensor)

Out of interest many moons ago I was involved in some dyno tuning work and in some cases these box's have an effect on mid range power (removing them lost us a couple of Kw over part of the rev range)

BTW that sensor is your air flow meter.
