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:

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.

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
