i was wondering if any accent, conquest or even levin owners(excluding sportivo) have installed the TRD CAI without removing that white water bottle thingy ? will the K&N pod fit if i dont remove the white bottle ? ahh, please help me out soon coz if it needs to be removed i'll get the autoelectrian to remove it while he is wiring up my fog light.

thnx.

w00t CAI arrive next week(according to dealer). is happy. :D

w00t, i just removed it. the bolting was a bitch though, but i managed. i sealed off the exiting hole with masking tape and inserted 2 holes on the bottom.

for some reason the car is faster now lol. hrmm damn :P

btw will the masking tape over the hole cause any engine damage ? this is only temp though. coz CAI arrives next week.

take off the masking tape there is no need for it just let it dump out whatever flows through it.

i have been talking with izzfe for a long time about taking out the bottle from his car now i am sure when he reads this he will want to do it soon. it sure does make the car go harder.

hrmm wouldnt it be better to seal it off ? since more air will pass up ? nah i'll just leave it for now coz its gonna take ages to take off again since the front bar is bak on.

Kcorro-Yeah, One day I'll get to taking it out :lol:, and putting on the vvt-i badges and painting the calipers and changing the aerial and ....

Just can't be bothered yet. :P

But ren here's a simple equation for you...

The bottle is restrictive, remove it and you have better airflow.

Better Airflow = More Power.

And if a 2zz can run without it, a 1zz can too.

I took the wite bottle out a few months ago on my conquest, I think you will find the bottle is to create resonance and reduce the inlet noise. this will in no way affect the engine if removed, just rip it out... if you are going to the auto elec to fit the fogs you might be wasting your money. All the wiring might be there like it was on my conquest, all i had to do is fit a switch, fuse and relay.

the brown connectors are the fog wiring, the relay holder is behind the coin box and fuse i cant remember but might be in engine bay. if you want to diy i will look later and and post some pics

it would be good if u can do that. since i know the layout of front.

the instructions is abit weird. its telling me to connect the 1pin to da green plug :rolleyes: and doesnt even come with one. the colours are x1greyn x2blue and a black -tive hook.

i dont know the kit you refer to I bought mine genuine. Is your toy facelift or pre facelift. the brown connectors plug directly into the globe HB3 or HB4. if your kit has different globes you might have an adapter in your kit. post a pic of the connectors in your kit and the instructions and I might be able to help you out.

I am assuming the ascent has the same wiring as the conquest

ok 1. connect brown connectors directly to fog lights

2. Take out coin tray and fit new micro relay (toyota or repco) as in pic..

3. blue connector into switch

your switch is different to mine. I only have 3 wires so you have to work out the switch configuration i.e. red-power, black-earth, blue-relay switching wire, green-illumination. or something like that..

the switching side of the relay needs to be earthed.

if I knew the switch I could tell you more, sorry

      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.
