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

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.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
