❓ FAQs
Q: Will this fit my 1KD engine?
A: Yes, fits all 1KD-FTV engines (Hilux, Prado, Hiace, Fortuner) but you MUST have a front-mount intercooler. Does not work with factory top-mount.
Q: Why is ECU tuning required?
A: The intake deletes EGR, swirl flaps, and throttle body. The ECU needs remapping to function properly without these components.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Only if you're experienced with custom fabrication and fuel system work. Most people use a professional workshop for installation.
Q: What power can I expect?
A: Power depends on your complete build. The intake supports 200+ kW at the wheels when combined with proper supporting mods (turbo, FMIC, exhaust, tuning).
Q: What powder coat colors are available?
A: Custom powder coated to your specification. Popular options: black, red, blue, wrinkle black. Contact us to discuss your preferred color.
Q: Do I need an EGR delete plate?
A: Yes — the intake has no EGR provision. 1KD EGR delete plates available here.
Q: How much does installation cost?
A: Budget $3,000-5,000+ for professional installation including labor, ECU tuning, custom fabrication, and supporting components.
Q: Is this legal for road use?
A: Generally not legal for road-registered vehicles due to emissions deletions. Intended for off-road, racing, and competition use.
