Just my personal view, if you wanna boost the power, yeah.....the first step would be the air filter and exhaust. But it really depends on your badget :) , well, if your have some cash, then I'll say "Do the air filter + the exhaust together~~!!"

"Breath in and Breath out" they have to work together ~~! :D

This let you get the most out of your car and your parts. :D

Talk to Northy... He seems to get some freakish power out of his ascent SPORT... there are also a lot of other guys here with experience tuning the 1ZZ-FE, just use the search tool at the top and you'll find your answers there... ;) B)

Buddy... save your dosh. It's not worth blowing your hard earned cash on this project. My suggestion is to save your money, yes this is difficult, and spend it on another vehicle which has the potential to be easily modified/worked. With this is mind you can have a car that you can slowly build up, and constantly expand on. This will enable you to have a car that can progress from Street to Strip, if so desired, when ever you want, and when budget allows.

Cold Air Intake, Exhaust, Extractors, TRD Supercharger, Aftermarket ECU.

Im sure you might feel a bit of a difference with those power mods. :lol:

And guys, he was asking for helpfull siggestions about how he can mod his current car, not for you to tell him its a waste of time or anything like that. I know I prefer my Ascent over a tivo mainly because it suits my needs better having less power.

With the mods ive listed 100kw's at the wheel shouldn't be unreasonable

Hi Guys,

I agree 100% with Skitzo. obsessionz was after help with what we can do with his current car. That being my bitch for the day.

obsessionz i would recommend doing end to end breathing mods.

i.e. CAI, extractors & exhaust. This will start you for power.

If u also want some handling mods then u should do your springs n shocks n strut brace, sway bars etc. But if your only after more power then ignore these mods and your next bet is get a supercharger kit TRD or other or if thats to much in terms of $$$ then get and independant ECU to tune it to ur mods. If u get an independant ECU make sure its 1 that could be used with ur a supercharger kit that u would one day like to buy as this will save u $$$ in the long run ;) ;)

And if this is all to much simply do the breathing mods and chuck a unichip on top of it. im sure that will put a smile on ur face :D :D :D :D

cheers

Bill

I know I'm always interested in hearing about what people do with their Ascents, Conquests, etc, because Toyota don't do a Sportivo wagon.

However, I have a plan to fix that ...

Buddha's To Do list:

1) Convince Toyota of market appeal for Sportivo wagon.

2) Convince wife to get manual licence.

3) Trade Conquest wagon on a Sportivo wagon.

4) Wake up, stop dreaming, and deal with the real world. :lol:

there is a wagon with 2zz engine in japan called fielder. and a little trick you can put any rear spoilers and lips produced for the wagon on sedans.

there will be lightly used parts for sale from typhoon motorsports in the coming week. keep checking their forum http://forum.tomsracing.com.au/

for the list which might include blitz short ram system and tanabe full exhaust system.

If they had a wagon in the Stivo, I would have got it instead of the hatch.

      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.
