Hi guys, first post here. I have owned a 2005 2UZ-FE for just over a year and am loving it so far. I am slowly adding or upgrading various things to suit my New Zealand based activities. Next thing is a snorkel - required for many interesting trips in NZ because of the large number of creek crossings here, which can swell very quickly after rain.
I ordered a Safari V-SPEC snorkel, but they are out of stock in NZ and so Safari sent me the new 100 series ARMAX instead for no extra charge...very nice of them! I understand from reading forums that the increased airflow has no performance advantages for the petrol engine. That’s fine, I need the snorkel as insurance for water crossings and not for engine performance (engine is bone stock). But, my question is: are there potentially any negative consequences of increasing airflow to the 2UZ-FE, such as throwing off the air/fuel ratio? I don’t understand the details of engines enough to know if this is a risk, but would like to know about it before committing to the install job....
Any feedback much appreciated.
