I want to fit CAI and pod filter, problem is $200 fine.

Solution fit TRD panel filter in factory box and fit CAI to airbox.

Remove battery, plastic tray, metal support and drill holes (green lines in pic)

refit support tray, plastic tray at 90 deg. fit battery andadjust batt cables to suit..

Buy batt tiedown from supercheap $4, 1/4 threaded rod, nuts, washers from Bunnings $3.50

Cut rod to size, heat and bend J into rod and fit..

Result more room to mod airbox and fit CAI

Box the pod filter not the cai... I want to fit a cai to the factory box to stay legal using the trd panel filter in the factory box..

I could put flutes above the battery side in the bonnet and cut a hole in the factory box under the filter to allow more air flow using the air from the bonnet flutes. I dont know..

my idea was to cut a large hole at the front of the factory box and run 125mm flexable ducting to front of the car, thats why the battery needed to move.

I have done a similar mod. I am using the factory box ... then I had a plastic pipe made that goes from the Air box down the side of the battery and down into the bumper ... there was no need to move the batterry. Just a bit of a struggle to get it in. But it does work.

Will take some pics and post them when I have a chance.

Actually ... now that I took a good look at the TRD intake ... my plastic pipe runs exactly the same way B) ... just that my pipe cost R100 (which is about 21 Aus Dollars).

We normally get some good quality CAI for about R500 ($100) but they are not available here yet ... but I sure they will be soon :D

not entirly true, this is only the case if the pod is in the engine bay, as teh TRD one is not then you dont have any probs, my car is registered in NSW and i have had no probs even when having my vehicle inspected, the guys at the toyota place where i get my car serviced also said that it was all ok.

hrmm cant u get done for noise pollution though ? hope not coz im gonna install my TRD CAI in a few weeks (waiting for bak-order from the dealer). geeez, cant believe it cost $270 to get it installed. :blink: does it really require that much labour hrs ?

might even have a go myself, if i do bugger up the installation, ill just take it to the toyota dealer.

It takes on average about 2 hours to install (first timer....about an hour for experianced ppls) plus minor modification to one bracket. 270$ to install is highway robbery.

Do it yer self and save the money (if you feel you can) there are plenty of people to help you do it on this forum. and we dont mind getting phoe calls ;)

take a look at the workshop section also :D

yes you have to remove the battery to fit it ;) well it makes it easier if you do anyway.

Seriously its not all that hard. the only reason it took me a while the first time was due to a bad bolt that was holding in my battery. other than that...its easy. (after the first 2 you can do it without instructions)

If you follow my pics and make a few phones calls it's easy ;)

but if you are not confident enough then thats cool :D

kk cool.

soo u know the original airbox, is that very easy to take off ? also the extra bracket that needs to be cut, can u cut that yourself ? or do u need a proper sawing machine ?

all you need is 8 / 10 / 12 mm sockets, 2 shifting spanners, electricle tape, plyers, hose cap and zip tie.....and bandaids if you cut yerself :huh:

The stadard airbox and snorkel are easy to take off. only 3 bolts hold the airbox onto the chassis...they under the filter ;)

For the bracket, if you have a metal cutter then great. if no a vice and hacksaw will do the job :)

kk thnx. i just had a look at my engine and your guide. i have a question. u know your 3pic where u quoted "this pipe comes with the box" i was wondering which pipe u are talkin about. coz since my car is a conquest model, the piping is different and im afraid it may be too short to reach. ill see if i can upload a pic with circles etc.

      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.
