SXTH Element Intercooler Upgrade

[SXTHElement]

We're working on a new intercooler upgrade for the 4th gen Tacoma, and it's shaping up to be a solid improvement over the factory unit. The core features more charge air rows for better thermal efficiency, and we're using cast aluminum end tanks for improved strength and flow characteristics.

Lower intake air temperatures during high-stress conditions are the main goal here. As most know, once IATs rise past a certain point, the ECU begins pulling timing and boost to protect the engine, which means power drops off. This setup is designed to delay that threshold and keep performance consistent for longer periods.

The prototype is already in development. We're currently testing with 3D printed aluminum-magnesium end tanks to validate fitment and flow. Once we have it on the truck, we'll be posting dyno and temperature data so everyone can see the actual performance difference.

If you're pushing your Tacoma hard or live somewhere hot, this will be worth watching.

Well I’m in.

Damn dude! Steady killing the game with the product launches. @SXTHElement will you have one of these out for the 6th Gen 4Runner as well?

We are looking at it for sure! At this point we haven't scanned/removed that area on the 4R, but once the intake is done it will be next on the list.

Excited for this! Got anything else up your sleeve?

 

[SXTHElement]

Maybe an exhaust?
