Independent dyno test · 1GR-FE Toyota Tacoma

Tested & Proven.

Our parts aren’t just designed to improve performance. They’re put to the test. On an independent dyno, the AES intake spacer gave a 1GR-FE Toyota Tacoma more torque across the rev range, including the low and mid RPM you use when pulling away and climbing, with no loss of power at the top.

About the test. Overland Tailor Tuning LLC (OTT), an independent tuning shop, compared its otherwise stock 2014 Toyota Tacoma (4.0L 1GR-FE (single VVT-i)) with and without the AES intake spacer on the same dyno and day. OTT reported “low end/midrange torque improvements” and found the “additional torque available at all RPM's”. Testing was performed by OTT, not by AES.

One truck, one back-to-back comparison. Results depend on the vehicle, engine configuration and condition, fuel, calibration and test conditions, so your results may differ. This test covered the single VVT-i 1GR-FE; other 1GR applications and other AES products were not tested. Not C.A.R.B. approved; see the product page for restrictions.

Why it works

The spacer adds length to each intake runner. In induction (resonance) tuning, longer runners generally favor torque in the low and middle of the rev range, which is the pattern OTT measured on this truck.

Test conditions

  • Dynojet Model 424xLC² chassis dyno, SAE correction, smoothing 5
  • 91 octane fuel, factory (OEM) engine calibration
  • Same truck and dyno on the same day; one stock run and one run with the AES spacer shown
