Dyno-Proven Gains from Our SXTH Intercooler

Hey everyone, We just finished dyno testing our new front mount intercooler for the 2024+ Tacoma, and wanted to share some real numbers and context with you all. This test was done on a stock truck with only our intercooler installed — no intake, no tune. The goal was to isolate what the intercooler alone can do. We used 4th gear on the 10-speed auto, which meant we had to feather the throttle below 4K RPM to avoid kickdown, so the low-end numbers are a bit skewed. But above 4K, the results were extremely consistent and repeatable. Here’s what we saw comparing OE vs SXTH intercooler: Peak power jumped from 248.6 hp to 264.1 hp (+15.5 hp) Peak torque increased from 288.6 lb-ft to 303 lb-ft (+14.4 lb-ft) Midrange output was noticeably stronger across every run Even in worst-case comparisons, our core outperformed factory We’re seeing lower intake temps across the board thanks to: A bar and plate core with 45% more volume Lower pressure drop (1.5 psi vs 2.4 psi stock) Up to 50°F lower temps at the turbo outlet and 12°F lower post-intercooler It’s a direct bolt-on, retains all OEM sensors and components (including grille shutters), and doesn’t require a tune. It’s also compatible with the 2025+ 4Runner and 2024+ Land Cruiser LC250.

How do you think Toyota can improve their Tacoma TRD Pro to be either a little more obtainable, or just worth the price in general? I made a recent YT video sharing my thoughts of what I think Toyota could do. In this video, we go over 5 way that Toyota could improve their 4th Generation Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. We go over price, suspension, making the ISO-Dynamic Seats an option, and a few more things to make this truck worthy of its $63,000 MSRP, like a different engine too?
