gday guys..

i've got a question for the other TRD owners...

the situation was:

i was on an on ramp for the freeway and i was going about 40-50km/h.

i burried my foot to the floor and took off and it changed down a few gears and quickly accelerated to the rev limit and it bounced off it about 6 times and then changed gear... :huh:

has this happened to anyone else?

if not, could you guys please test it out and tell me if it happens for you as well?

thanks

ash.

It happens everytime I get spirited, hits redline & changes gear.

Im glad though cos I dont really want it lurking in redline territory.

Im sure a tune or piggy back ecu can remove it or raise the redline.

I think the complaint was that it does not change gears quick enough. As in it reaches redline, rev-limiter kicks in and RPM drops. Once RPM drops, car redlines again, and this repeats a few times before the gear changes. Doesn't sound healthy to me.

if u explain it this way, i face the same issue.. it bounce below the redline few times before changing gear.. this is with my air intake mod..

Havent had that issue, mine acts differently that it just takes long to realise that youve planted the foot down, so theres a 1-2 sec delay in throttle response, but thatst the ECU adjusting...

I would just advise the service center on this problem...

Mine will kinda do it in Sequential mode, not in auto though

You press to change gears and its not instant, will do this kind of thing then go to the next gear

slight lag :(

pretty sure it wasnt wheel spinning...

but i dont see how that makes a difference... i 'wheel spin' a lot of times and it never bounces of the limiter before changing gears...

maybe the your TRD has too much power the autobot doesnt know what to do with it.

sounds like a freak occurence? try it again up the same hill?

yeah, i'm starting to think that it was a freak occurance... :(

it was actually down hill, not up hill... lol

i'm just concerned because i want to start modding it, but i dont want to be touching things incase the problem is still there, then toyota wont do anything and say that the warranty is void... :(

Had something unusal happen to me, more like transmission flare. Spoke to the Toyota dealership, they advised is someone else had been driving the car previously, the auto learns that person's style. When you get in and drive it differently, it does not know what to do. Could that be it? It happened to me after the wife drove it for two hours then I jumped in and it has never happened since.

I think for the fact of the matter, that rev-limiter issue should never have occurred regardless. Even if another person drives the car, the problem described shouldn't be a side effect of it. Regardless of the situation, should the gear shift be in auto mode, it should automatically shift up in gear prior to the rev-limiter kicking in, or at worst, change immediately after one activation of the rev-limiter.

it's true that ecu's adapt to driving styles but hitting the rev limiter in "drive" should not happen.

its just a

for me there is not much that can be done to prevent it from a dealership POV - just drive it without going close to the rev limit till after say 10 mins?

maybe they could detune it so it doesnt happen again?

      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.
