ok so ive done some research and im keen on doing this mod myself but can anyone tell me wat the little sensor looking thing is on the front of the throttle body.. it seems important but im not to sure also im having trouble getting the actually lines off they seem to be stuck on.. is it possible that the lines can melt on.. any info would be appreciated

The sensor is irrelevant in conducting the coolant bypass mod.

The hoses can seize in place over time. If you are able to lift up a small section and apply a tiny amount of oil between the hose and the barb and work it in a bit by wiggling the hose it will help with pulling them off and not tearing the hose.

I think that sensor is the idle speed control valve.

Tayles: Looks like I'll have to install the grammar add-on now :P

Shouldn't cut them because you'll need them to complete the mod, just bring out the inner hulk :D

How cold does it get in other cities overnight (Canberra is freezing!)? I assume warm coolant flows through the throttle body to stop it freezing right? Has anybody had this happen?

No never bothered. I remember Danzzt had done it to his Levin when he still had it.

Don't worry the tempt in Australia won't freeze your throttle body.

I am going to do this with my Celica but the room to work with is much tighter than the corolla. (Stupid ECU box)

Anyway, just a quick review. Cold days in winter, the throttle body is ice cold even when the engine is at its optimum running temperature. Warm day, the throttle body is still cold. Hot day, the TB is just warm. Try touching that without bypassing it and it burns!

For $4 (the cost of buying the brass coupler) this mod is a fantastic way to prevent potential power loss.

I did a more detailed review for this thing, so do give it a search :)

Even cheaper if you just take the longer hose from the throttle body and connect it to the block and wrap the shorter hose back around to where the aforementioned hose came from. Plus it keeps debris out of the coolant channels in the throttle body.

Is it colder than Melbourne?

I thought Melbourne is the coldest.

Nonetheless, even in country like USA where it snow during winter the by-pass did no harm to them US owners.

plus if you do have trouble with it its so easy to reverse that it wont matter anyway.

you can feel its a tad bit more torquey, but not alot.

was just reading a thread about it and there are a few from canada that have done this on a corolla with no problems (we are no where near as cold as them)

Whoa... flash back to my very first mod. and meeting danz for the first time.

lol.

I think in an old thread danz did a hard drive run on a cold night post mod and foudn that the TB was still cold to touch after the spirited driving.

I doubt canberra's cold weather will be much of an issue as I've had my rolla up in the mountains with the mod done and cold starts were fine.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
