Hi im new to this forum, i own a Paseo 1993 or 1992 i can't remember with the stock engine and this is my first car.

I was just wondering what is the largest battery i can put in car without apparently "blowing the chipset". Some people say you can put a marine battery in it however i am unsure and it is my first car

My second questions (this maybe a stupid question) is that i am looking for a better altenator as when i run my subs the over head light blinks (this could also due to battery), where can i get one around the south brisbane area.

After i do get the new alternator and battery is there a need to get a capacitor?

My last question is What is the best way to wire up two amps (one for subwoofers and one for speakers), as i am currently running a mono block powering 2 type r alpines, do i run another power wire from the battery or should i get a power distribution block. i currently have a 1200w wire set running my mono block.

Get yourself a decent quality deep cycle battery, 750CCA or higher...

This should take care of the head lights and other electric components losing voltage when the bass kicks in...

I always run 1 power wire and 1 earth wire per amp...

Whatever wires you add off the positive terminal you should do the same for the earth terminal...

Run one earth wire off the battery to the inner chassis rail...

Run another earth wire from the battery to the back of the cylinder head...

Should be much better :) :) :) ...

with the amps, i thought you could always bridge them together? eg ; amp 1 = power + ground is connected with amp 2.

You can bridge power, but I wouldn't risk bridging ground.

Chances are you'll find if you upgrade your earths, you won't have to upgrade your battery or alternator. It's the one thing that most people neglect to do when upgrading their power system.

You could do that but you're not gunna get full power to the second amp...

Yes you will. It's basic electrical theory, splitting at the amp or at a distribution block means both points are at the same electrical potential, and current will flow through them inversely proportional to their impedance ;)

That being said, splitting at a distribution block is still better as it's neater and easier to physically get one cable into each jack (socket? Not sure) on the amp.

Mmmm, I guess that works now that i think about it...

One of my cars had the single wire to distribution block, then running to two amps... Burnt out the fuse holder assy near the battery...

Changed it to two seperate wires and have had no trouble since that...

Two separate wires from the battery or from a distribution block?

      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.
