Well the time has come and my car goes in tomorrow to have the exhaust done. EXCITING!! I will try and make a video like DJ has or somesort to show what it is like...

In reference to my other post noise/leak i have my car booked in with Toyota Thursday to have the boot stripped as i washed my car again and that left hand cavity filled up with water again!!!

Quite annoying as i lose my 2 days off work this week and will have no car :(

luckily my GF's a hairdresser and her work is down the road from the exhaust place so ill get a nice free haircut while waiting :)

NUMBER PLATES .... i used to have DJK 669 (David John Kauschke) 669 for laughs ....

im still unsure on what to get ... DA3VI0 or something like that......

SHOUT OUT SOME MORE IDEAS!!! :)

I tried searchin for other mufflers than Varex before. If you look up at U.S and other azn countries, HKS fits their car. Im just wondering if they have somethin for our Aurion. And by the standard of their level of spending, our level to get Varex is considered expensive. I just got the Varex recently, too much research and gave up. :lol:

A few things ...

First off VF-X they said good luck finding anyone in AUS willing to make that design... They suggested one place in Sydney that does custom jobs would be your only choice beside abroad.

So i spoke to the guys about my exhaust this morning and well it got done how you all said it shouldnt.

They removed the cat, put in a 6" res and 2.5' piping right thru to the end then yer. ill list what the receipt says....

6" Rnd 14CC250 Straight Thru

8x4 140C250 S/Steel

FLANGE PLATE

57mm - 90mm Dual Wall A/Cut

S/S Pipework

They think its too quiet upon starting it up and suggested a "hotdog" to be put on instead of the 6" res ... if i want more sound.

To me it sounds nice as it revs up but i am getting lots of black smoke ??stainless?? will this clear up ??

New exhausts can tend to produce a bit of smoke sometimes until they carbon up on the inside (the note also slightly varies when this happens as well), and can also produce a sulphur like smell. I would personally reset your ECU though to make sure everything starts from scratch with your new exhaust.

To do this, unplug battery (for 20 mins to be on the safe side) then plug the battery back in and turn your car on. Then let idle with the accessories off for a good 10 minutes, turn the engine off then on again and give it a hard drive.

      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.
