FJ Cruiser Cyclone Air Cleaner... does it work?

[SirCampalot]

Anyone have a Cyclone Air Cleaner on your FJC? Does it really work? Do you notice a good amount of debris in the 'reservoir' that the cyclonic device has removed from the dirty intake charge? I'd love to hear some real world results.

Thanks in advance!

a few of the 4th gen runner guys have them and by the pics ive seen they pick a fair bit out. there are a couple threads on 120,
we are talking the oem toyota one right?

 

[SirCampalot]

Yes, the oem one. Are the runner guys using the fj pre-filters?

i cant speak much on a vehicle, but in the heavy equipment world they do work.

I installed one in my V6 4th Gen 4Runner and the pre-filter functions most excellently

That's awesome! I'm going to order one on Monday. Thanks for the great write-up at the other link... very informative.

It's the easiest mod you'll ever do, 2 bolts and your done. The last time I went to greenridge it was very dry and after I got home I popped the hood and squeezed the rubber spout underneath and was amazed at the dirt that came out. If you want I can get you a great deal on one, even ship it for free. PM me if your interested.

Man I wish this would fit so well in a 3rd gen.

Check out these pre-filters. Did a lot of research and it looks like these guys have just about the best products out there. Just got one for Mah Deuce. Haven't had a chance to install it yet though.

Wow... I never realized there were so many manufacturers of pre-filters. Do you guys know if the oem pre filter for the fj is designed to work submersed under water when combined with a snorkel? I'm wondering if that debris collection area (the part you squeeze to empty the debris) is sealed well enough to keep water out.
