Hi all,

I just picked up my Stivo 10 days ago, and till now, i oredi done 1000+ km on the clock....my first 1000 service will be tomorrow..hehe..anyway...i m quite happy with the speed and power which the VVTL-i engine delivers. After reading most of the posts in the forum, i think it is the time for me to modify a little bit to my stivo.

First thing i wanna get outta it is performance. I just wana know does it make Big diff if i get the CAI installed. How much would it cost me roughly include installation and how many Kw gain will i get after installing it...this is the main issue i wanna find out.

Also any recommendation about the CAI u guys can given me...coz i m not really good in modifying. Does it go faster than wot it should be...say acceleration and top spd after installing it.....

Hope u all can help me out...

Cheers

Newbie,

Ronny

Yes, TRD CAI with an ITG filter, best combo, recommended by quite a few peoples on this forum.

It's just a personal thing and what people are happy with.

To date I've never had any problems with the dealers and the changes I've made.

In fact last two times I've serviced at MCT, they complemented me on the car and also when I went to pick up my car, It was parked at the very front of the Service Department instead of the back as usual :)

how does the CAI go with the 1zz? does it make a big difference like it does on the sportivo?

a jump from 76.1 kw to 91.6kw, that's an olympic level high jump champion.

That increase isn't just from the CAI though...

you're right, there is a synergy from both my exhaust system and my CAI

when I got my exhaust mod, i achieve low end power with 1.1kw increase top end, resulting in a net 76.1kw. Then added CAI, the net result jump to 91.6kw.

For the CAI to be totally effective and make good increases in power you also have to do the exhaust. If you can afford it a CES cat back system will cost you $960 plus freight and give you +/- 9kw atw. Add a TRD CAI for about $550 (not sure of exact price) and you'll have about 112-117kw atw. From standard that's about a 20kw gain for say $1500 and the car will sound the goods and have more power low down as well as top end.

All depends on how much you got to spend, but I'd definatley go with the TRD CAI.

Worth trying is Injen RD intake

The TRD cold air intake gives 90hp more. Resulting in my car having 320hp at the wheels and consistantly running 11 seconds down the track. :D

*back to reality*

It made the car have a funny noise that I liked... and... increased power a little... and.... pulled a lot harder than stock. Personally I would suggest this as the #1 mod to do to a corolla as you really do get bang for your buck (even though the buck isn't quite as low as we all would like)

It has also been scientifically proven that red is a faster colour, thus the TRD cold air intake is 50% better than the rest. :lol:

ha..ha..ha...

how about i got a simota and paint it red? wouls it be as good as the TRD's?

i think the only thing i hate about the trd cai is u need u throw away the pod included in the system, right? and tht i don't like..throwing away my money for nothing.

anybody knows about blitz or where to get it? gain?

If you painted it candy apple red then im sure it could pull more than the TRD cold air intake then. :P

I'm still using the TRD pod.. works just fine, never had a problem with it at all.

Look on ebay for a blitz one? I'm pretty sure all the cold air intakes gain would be roughly the same, TRD may have more advantage due to specialising in toyotas but it would be unlikely it would be a huge amount of difference.

      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.
