Banks Power Ram-Air Cold Air Intake fits 2024+ Toyota Tacoma 2.4L Turbo

Banks Power Ram-Air Cold Air Intake for the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma 2.4L Turbo

Feed your 4th gen Tacoma's 2.4L turbo (T24A-FTS) the cool, dense air it actually wants with the Banks Ram-Air Intake System. The factory airbox does the job, but Banks went after it with real fluid dynamics engineering: a fully enclosed housing that blocks hot engine bay air, a ram-air scoop that seals to the hood, and a massive intake tube with smooth bends instead of the harsh 90-degree turns that choke airflow. The result is 37% more airflow than stock and 45% lower pressure loss, which means your turbo spools quicker and works less to make the same boost.

Banks dyno-tested this system at +18.3 hp and +17.7 lb-ft, and it does it without throwing a check engine light. On top of that, the oversized oiled filter (99.25% filtration efficiency) has deeper pleats and more dirt capacity than anything else in its class, so you go longer between cleanings. Daily the truck, tow with it, wheel it: this intake is built for all of it. The side fender inlet even accommodates the factory snorkel, and the splash guard is removable.

Cold, dense air is the cheapest power you can feed a turbo motor, and it's one of the smartest supporting mods to pair with an in person OTT tune, or an OTT tune flashed through the COBB Accessport V3. Stack this intake with an intercooler and a tune and your 2.4T starts waking up for real. Questions about fitment or building out a full setup? Reach out and we'll help you get it dialed in.
