Does the HPS intake kit for Toyota Tacoma 3.5L trucks fit every third generation trim?

Yes. HPS lists part number 827-792 for every 2016-2023 Tacoma with the 3.5L V6 2GR-FKS, including the SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Limited, Nightshade and Trail trucks. HPS does not list it for the 2.7L four-cylinder or for the fourth generation Tacoma that arrived for 2024.

How much power does the HPS cold air intake add on a 3.5L Tacoma?

HPS product data for 827-792 lists gains of 10.4 wheel horsepower and 13.1 lb-ft of torque, with sharper throttle response. A dyno chart HPS also shows, recorded with the earlier 827-595 version, reached 14.4 whp and 13.8 lb-ft. The result on any one truck depends on its condition and the conditions on the day.

What does the heat shield do?

The powder-coated steel heat shield surrounds the cone filter and separates it from hot air in the engine bay, so the V6 draws cooler, denser air through the new tube. HPS includes it in the 827-792 kit to get the most from the open filter.

Is the air filter reusable?

Yes. The HPS high-flow cotton cone filter is washable and reusable, so it is cleaned rather than replaced at service time. HPS publishes its own cleaning procedure, and following it keeps airflow consistent over the life of the intake, which matters on a truck that spends time on dusty trails.

How hard is the installation?

The HPS intake kit for Toyota Tacoma trucks is a bolt-on that HPS rates for installation with simple hand tools, following the digital instructions it supplies. The factory intake hose and filter housing come out, and the aluminum tube, silicone coupler, heat shield and filter go in on stainless steel T-bolt clamps and the supplied hardware.

Description

HPS Cold Air Intake Kit for Toyota Tacoma 3.5L

HPS’s Cold Air Intake Kit for Toyota Tacoma 3.5L trucks replaces the factory intake hose and air filter housing on the 2016-2023 third-generation Tacoma with a 3-1/2 inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube, a reusable high-flow cotton cone filter and a powder-coated steel heat shield. HPS, an Irwindale, California manufacturer that develops its kits with CAD modelling, 3D scanning and dyno testing, credits this 827-792 kit with 10.4 wheel horsepower and 13.1 lb-ft from the 2GR-FKS V6. It is a considered first step for a Tacoma owner who wants the V6 to answer the throttle more eagerly and sound like it means it.

Design and Performance

HPS swaps the restrictive factory hose and filter housing for a larger aluminum tube and an open cone filter, then encloses the filter in a steel heat shield so it is not simply drawing hot engine-bay air. Induction sound becomes more noticeable under heavy throttle, with the more aggressive tone HPS describes. That suits an owner who enjoys hearing the V6 on a trail climb; anyone who wants a silent cabin should weigh it before ordering.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
