Improving filter performance

News and General

Terrain Tamer has recently expanded its range of Air Filter Inserts to include a kit for Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series, adding to their already existing catalogue for other Land Cruiser models, as well as Hilux and Prado vehicles.

Many vehicles, including Hilux KUN/GUN models, as well as the Land Cruiser Prado 120/150 series, VDJ76/78/79, and VDJ200 models are prone to the issue of dusting, and since its release in 2022, the 300 Series has proven to have similar issues.

The original design of the airbox, or upper filter housing, of these models features a seal surface which is too narrow to match the seal of the filter itself. As a result, the filter is not able to be fully effective, as it does not properly seal, allowing dust to pass through the airbox and enter the engine intake, causing havoc with engine components.

To combat this problem, Terrain Tamer has designed vehicle-specific, stainless steel filter inserts, which, when fitted, create a surface area that perfectly matches the filter, aligning in the correct position to properly seal and effectively working to reduce the issue of dusting.

The inserts are design protected and are available now in kits, which also include the corresponding air filter, as well as sealant required for fitting.
