Sounds great! Definitely get rid of that "S" intake pipe. It's way too restrictive and you'll notice an even bigger difference. I did this years ago but I found a cheap straight pipe off of Ebay that had 2 vacuum ports to it and used that for set up along with my JWT Popcharger. IIRC it was like around $20.

Hmm...I just started experiencing the same thing but at higher RPMS. I drive over a mountain pass daily and on the approach/incline, if I have the pedal down all the way, it will sometimes start surging. I actually have to let off the gas slightly and then it's like something kicks in and it starts accelerating.

I was plagued with EVAP issues for a while before I figured out it was my vent control valve that was stuck in an open position due to all the water crossings I did. Luckily there was no charcoal in the lines. A tiny bit of WD40 freed the valve and allowed it to open and close. Now couldn't charcoal in the lines possibly be related to issues with the vent control valve? If it was stuck closed maybe?

I think it looks good. I remember doing this to my Pathy when I first got it. I've had it like this for 8 years now and countless water crossings and have nothing negative to report.

That's a bummer. Next time I am in Spokane or drive through, I'll have to set something up. What happened to Casey T and Oliver? I've wheeled with those guys at the ORV park.

I've seen plenty of lifted R50's back in 2000-2005 when I lived in Spokompton. I remember seeing one at the ORV park a few times.

Did a quick Google image search and was able to find the JWT just like the one I had.

Yo FUELER! Yeah I been around but just lurkin. lol Funny my JWT didn't have an open end like your pic. It looked identical to the K&N but with blue filter. edit: both of mine were closed end.

For what its worth, I had the JWT Pop charger paired with a metal pipe from an ebay kit that replaced the stock "S" tube. I had this setup for a few years until I just replaced the filter recently. I just replaced the filter with a K&N cone filter that is pretty much identical to the JWT Pop Charger. Part #RC-2960XD, Universal X-Stream Clamp-on Air Filter.

Yeah I never officially found out the motive but I know it was all about the parking. He wasn't liking having to walk an extra 20 feet to his brother's house. He is an old man, remember! The 4runner does need new tires bad as its been garaged all winter because of the amount of snow on the roads. But I am contemplating selling it. I really can't justify having 2 SUV's, even though I own both of them and they are all paid for. I'd love to get me a small car.

UPDATE: I had my day in court today. He had prior court appearances with his lawyer a couple of months ago and still plead not guilty. Well today, he changed his plea to GUILTY for a lesser charge. His charge got dropped from a felony to misdemeanor and he has to pay full restitution. No jail time but he has a year of probation. Had to testify for the restitution part of it and gave the whole story of the incident. The old man was cringing in his seat, couldn't even look at me. It was quite the sight. He paid the restitution immediately so I should be getting a nice check really soon. Thank god it's finally over!

I'm not sure how I'd feel about having that bolt head sticking out like that. I'd think that bolt would get sheared right off?

Soooo....some new developments. I haven't mentioned that my fiance has been followed to work by this douchbag. But this 60 year old is in for a surprise as she works at a car dealership and like me, the mechanics won't put up with it. A warrant was issued for his arrest. I found this out on Friday. Apparently he has 11 listed addresses and the police have had a tough time finding him. He had a little league game today ::rollseyes:: and I was able to find his car and got the cops to pick his a$$ up. What a great sight, watching the cops handcuff him and haul him away. Tomorrow, I go to the courthouse to find out the court date and see to it I get my $$$.

I'm lucky that I drive less than 10 miles round trip to work. I looked at the gas prices back on Maui and I am SOOOOOO glad I'm not living there anymore. $4.54 is the current price and I was driving 35 miles each way to work back then.

Hate to burst your bubble but I am going to have to say stock. Here are some pics I snapped of my CV's. You can see the angle is much different than what I see in your pics. Also keep in mind, the fender flares extend past the actual fenders by probably about an inch so when they are removed you really do see quite a bigger gap in the wheel well. Here's what my rear coil looks like.

I'm saying stock because I wish I had those CV angles. Edit: Isn't there a post from a while back where someone took all these height measurements at different points on their R50? I recall seeing pics with red arrows if my memory serves me right.

I'm moving out of the house today as we speak. Sucks that it happens 2 days before we move but also I'm glad that I found out who it was before we did so. But its only a move 2 blocks away. We will wait a while for things to simmer down and then it will be on. He won't recognize his car when we're done with it.

Yup, they are expecting something to happen. Last night after everything passed, we were intentionally creating a ruckus, using my aluminum bat and hitting stuff outside. I don't think he got any sleep. I had friends who wanted to come over and take his rims and leave it on blocks. Another friend suggested removing all the lug nuts, wheels intact except for a loose nut in every wheel. What is really great is that its a small town and I know all the mechanics and shops in town. Just have to flag his cars and he won't even know what hit him. Oh yeah, he coaches youth baseball. What a fine role model.

The Key thing, I thought about it. But they didn't go that route. But it was so obvious really. Yeah a 50 year old. I was in shock for about a split second before I jumped out of the bushes to pounce on him. Like I said, it was a parking issue is what I'm guessing. Because his brother is our neighbor and his brother has a garage in the back that he parks at. So when d!ckhead comes over to visit his brother(which is daily because his brother is a disabled vet) he has to park about 15 feet away from his brothers house instead of 5 feet because we are parked there. Can you belive it?

I almost beat the living crap out of him but I cannot believe I found the self restraint in me not to do so. The thought that crossed my mind was to not complicate things in the whole case/matter. The cop himself told him to his face "You're lucky you weren't on the ground bloodied when I pulled up because if it was my car, you would have been."

Here are the pics. The first two are of the 4runner and if you look hard enough you can see it. Doesn't really show up as much on camera especially with it being white. The Pathy however is another story. I'm moving in 2 days also. I am SO glad to have found out who's been doing this. I've been thinking its been some punk kids around town. But why would only our cars be keyed and not anyone else's on the block? He was pissed because he felt like we were in his spot even thought it was in front of our house and he doesn't even live there... Good thing we're moving out tomorrow. Then I can pay a visit and make sure that he gets his...

So for the past 3 weeks, my Pathy and 4runner have been getting keyed parked on the street right in front of my house. I've got 2 pin stripes down the whole length of both sides of a black car. The 4runner is white and the scratches are not so noticeable. I've been staked up outside my house hidden out of sight from the street by some bushes. Yes I pretty much spent about 20 minutes every night doing this trying to find the punk kids who I figured were the guilty ones. As of two nights ago, the Pathy had 4 gashes down to the metal total on both sides from the corner light all to way to the rear quarter panel. 2 nights ago I stood outside at around 10 pm and saw nothing. Yesterday morning, I wake up and see a fresh scratch on my drivers door that has metal and black shavings stll visible. I was PISSED. So last night I was determined to stay outside as long as it took to catch the bastard(s). Around 10 PM I went outside for a smoke and was hunched behind my hedges and see my neighbor's brother show up. He's gotta be in his 50's. My neighbor is about the same age. Both guys with a full head of white hear. He pulls up in his Honda civic behind the 4runner. He proceeds to get out and walk up to the 4runner and I see him look around and thenpunch his hand into the rear quarter panel and then walks down the whole length of the 4runner. I jumped out of those bushes so fast and was screaming my head off and he absolutely froze and threw his hands up and couldn't say anything. I was screaming and about to bash his face in. His one hand still held the key that was used to key the car. He was mumbling and was saying he dropped his keys. But when I jumped out of the bushes, he was caught red handed standing in front of the drivers door/wheel. I called the cops and they are only literally a block away. They saw the fresh scratch and the curled paint along the scratch. He denied the whole thing. The cops were pissed because they knew he was lying. At one point he said "uh..I guess my watch brushed up against it..." I had to take the 4runner down to the station last night to have them take pictures. Felony Criminal mischief is what they will charge him for. The damage has to be over $1k to qualify and I know it will be. The only down side to all of this, is last night was the night I decided to park behind the house instead of upfront and had I not done so, I'd be able to hold him liable for the REALLY bad damage he inflicted on my Pathy. I'll post some pics here in a bit. Sorry for the long post/rant.

Yup sounds just like my 4runner that I replaced the started last week on. It clicked when you tried starting the car. Then it started happening more often. Have someone start it up after hitting it with a hammer and should it start right up, then that's more likely your culprit.

There should be no splicing of any wires if you get the kit that contains the T-connectors. Its pretty much just plug and play.
