ive got a Celica ZR 2001 , with blitz supercharger kit ... and i feel like to upgrade it to a bigger car such as the AURION supercharged.

however, im a bit confused with all the different Aurions.

- i was wondering if all ZR6 models have a supercharger inside.

- also i tried to look on youtube for videos of supercharged aurion (to hear the engine) but i couldnt find anything ...

so i still dont know what the engine sounds like when accelerating with an s/c aurion.

if some of you guys had some videos to share, that would be great :)

Secaboy has a TRD Aurion.

I must say it is a beauty.

It looks good, goes fast, but is quiet! :o

Good luck on finding the right one for you! :)

If I can afford the TRD and petrol I would have got one too!!!

Only the TRD Aurion have a Eaton Supercharger on it for 240kw... and ofczo the TRD Hilux too!!!

Also the TRD kit is aerodynamically more efficient means less drag... (Wording is abit off... )

the seller just told me:

The ZR6 and TRD both have superchargers on them as standard.

maybe i should go to a toyota garage today and ask some questions about the aurion supercharged

I'm 100% sure it's only the TRD with the Supercharger.

Toyota Aurion Sportivo ZR6 is just a 200kw V6.

The TRD Aurion is a 241kw Supercharged V6.

If the Aurion ZR6 was Supercharged... Im sure there would be a lot more around, and the TRD wouldn't be so great. Lol.

Gday,

Sorry to tell you, but as people have already said, the only Aurion to come supercharged is the TRD 3500SL and the TRD 3500S.

Also, you'll need to budget a lot more than 28k for one.

If you want to ask anymore questions, feel free.

as a final note... i'll bet my TRD that Toyota NEVER mass produced any Aurion apart from the TRD's in Australia with a supercharger...

Especially now that Toyota are going to go all 'HYBRID' by 2010.

At this point in time, I'm pretty sure the only video of a stock TRD Aurion you will find on the net is:

This is SecaBoy's TRD. It gives you an idea of how it sounds. Listen closely and you can catch the whirr of the supercharger. It's not as loud as I would personally prefer, but this is due to the new Eaton TVS. I recall Toyota talking about thier choice of the Eaton TVS since it is more efficient; saying that the much louder whirr you hear on other superchargers is actually wasted energy hence why the new TVS is more efficient.

that video is of my car... but its without the rear mufflers...

sound quality is ****house anyway...

i'll try to get a better video... (lol, how long have i been saying that!?)

when you're in the car with the music off and you accelerate, you CAN hear the S/C whine... BUT its very subtle and nothing compared to the old S/C V8s that sound like its gonna suck in anything around it including small children.

this is most likely due to an EXTREMELY small intake...

if you were to put a pod filter on it, i'm sure the induction noise would be quite loud...

there are a few TRD Aurion videos on youtube, but i'm pretty sure none of them show the sound of the car...

Thee 7.4 secs for the 0-100km/h, I swear if i flog mine it gets up there quicker than that.......I don't know who did those official figures but me thinks it was either a grandma or the car had 5 adults sitting in it.

You can definitely get the Aurion from 0 to 100km in under 7 seconds. It all comes down to the conditions in which you test it out. Such variables as road/tyre temperature, air temperature and humidity, and whether or not you launch at the maximum throttle possible (just before any slip) are such factors that can affect the 0-100 times.

From what I could see, I could only just make out what appears to be a black and gold plate on the front. There doesn't appear to be a plate on the back.

if you watch the other clip of my car, then you can see the plate... either way, i wasnt doing anything illegal and no one can prove that i'm speeding at a certain speed... :)

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      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.
