I bought pod filter for my 5sfe celica, but before i start the install i was looking at the old airbox. there is a sensor of some sort sticking out of the air filter cover. i think it may be the AFM? anyway, all i got with the pod filter is the filter itself. if i put this on there would be no where to put the sensor. could anyone help me out here by telling me what i can do to get around this or do i even need it in?

I am pretty sure 5SFE's dont have an AFM, but you could put that sensor in the piping between your pod and plenum

If it's a MAP car then the sensor in the airbox will most likely be the intake air temperature sensor. Not essential to have it plugged into the intake, but if you don't it'll read hot engine bay air as opposed to cool intake air (because you're going to do it properly and run a CAI setup with the pod isolated from the engine bay, aren't you). Just drill a hole the right size in the new intake piping and plug the sensor + bung in there.

so its not an option to leave it out. ill just put a whole in the piping to put the sensor in. anything i need to know before pulling the plug out?

you dont need to unplug it.

Just pull it out of the airbox, its held in with a little rubber gromet

take the gromet out of the airbox, drill a hole in the cai piping the same as the one in the airbox

insert the rubber gromet in to the pipe, and then put the sensor back in.

If it's not connected it's not the end of the world, but for the long-term performance of the engine and the consumption of petrol, it should be connected properly.

My 4AGE AE82 doesn't actually HAVE an air temp sensor (got a red/blacktop engine but bluetop airbox, so both factory locations are gone), and it still runs fine.

i put it in today. what i did was get a PVC pipe that is 50mm on each side with a 25mm Tee. put the pod on one side with the air sensor in the 25mm Tee (it didnt fit so i wrapped 100MPH tape around it a few times and it fits good) then got a 3" to 3" rubber gripper (dont know the name, it was in the plumbing section, it is similar to teh adapters for a CAI) and put that on the other side of the piping and over the top of the stock intake piping.

then since i had those 2 adapter things teh pod filter was too long, so i took off the bottom of the old air box and i also removed the piping which tunnelled air from outside to the stock filter. it fit ok but was too heavy so the piping sagged and rested on the exposed metal. so i got an old sign and cut a long (about 6") piece off (2" thick) and bent one end a screwed it to the body parrallel to the battery stand thing. and then curved the other end to fit under the metal strap off the pod filter.

all fits well, nothing touching.

made it sound a lot better actually. throatier deeper sound.

next i plan to get some CAI piping and have some outside air guided through to the filter.

I finally added a pod filter to my beast. It is a K&N for a GT4 but it fits on mine OK

I have it set up on a short right angle piece of pipe (mostly cause that is what i had lying around at the time)

Makes the awesome intake noise gives it a deeper engine note.

I’m looking at doing this too - but i want the hose to be a little shorter so it is'nt against the engine bay. Are you worried about the cops catching you with it? i assume you know its illegal to have this on your car unless its in the box (and thats not possible)

cops up here in darwin wont check the engine bay, and if they do, i doubt they will be too worried. i did a stand still burnout at a set of light s the other night and a cop pulled me over and only told me to pull my head in and treat my car with respect, this was a 3am and the cop seemed drunk LOL

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      How hard is to to fit an clinometer?

      My dash looks like the picture below, but I wish to add the factory clinometer. Does anybody know how hard of a job that would be? I wish to add the factory clinometer The final result would look something like this

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?

      Advice needed

      On the surface it sounds like total nonsense, but there is a kernel of possibility in there. Firstly, firing _order_ is a function of the distributor cap and the spark plug wires, but to run right it relies on matching the order in which the camshafts open/close the valves and the crankshaft moves the pistons up/down. If none of those things have been changed as part of the turbo install, then firing _order_ isn't the problem (standard for a 4-cylinder is 1-3-4-2). Confirming your leads are going to the right spark plugs is a quick and free check though, and an easy thing to stuff up when putting everything back together if you were forgetful/distracted. Ignition _timing_, on the other hand, is what you would be looking at if the diagnosis was that the engine was firing on the downstroke. Normally, ignition timing is set to fire the spark plugs just BEFORE top-dead piston centre (ie, on the compression upstroke, this is called timing ADVANCE), so that the combustion occurs at the very top of the cycle to impart the most downwards force to the piston. If the ignition timing is completely out, then the spark plugs might be firing AFTER top-dead centre (timing RETARD), which will make the engine run like a bucket of bolts and also incredibly rich. Get a strobe and see what the timing is doing. However, the fact that you're contemplating installing a Haltech makes me think you've done this turbo upgrade without touching the factory computer, which in reality is most likely to be the culprit. Whilst it can work in some scenarios, running more than a small amount of boost through an NA engine/computer without any other upgrades is a recipe for disaster, as the ECU doesn't know how to handle the extra air (or can't even measure it properly to begin with) and will just flail around trying to adjust. Also, there is no "exhaust downstroke". In a suck-squeeze-bang-blow 4stroke, the exhaust part of the cycle is an upstroke of the piston (to force the burnt gases out of the combustion chamber). Intake (suck) = downstroke. Compression (squeeze) = upstroke. Power/combustion (bang) = downstroke. Exhaust (blow) = upstroke.

      I've recently done a head gasket on my 3rz hilux after I blew it Head was checked and is all good, reassembled. Now it will start and ilde for 2-3 seconds and stall. Won't accelerate. I've double triple checked timing, all earth's ect are where they should be. Changed plugs, checked coils, valve clearances, will be changing MAF today What else should I look at?? It was turbo but converted back to N/A as it's now my brothers car
