hey guys just wondering, when in lift i have this wierd thing coming from the engine at around 7,700 RPM...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2VZNgN9XH8

rev limiter maybe, this is the best video i could film with my brother in the car lol, he seems to ALWAYS angle the camera away from the "8" when it nearly hits it. but i think the sound is very clear.

is this normal for a sportivo, should i reset the ECU, and thrash it after it reboots?

engine doesn't knock or ping or any other strange noises...

the noise is similar to rev limit but the needle stick does still creep a little more. Engine looses power as well when this happens...

somebody said clutch slip?

but i tried the diagnostics for the clutch but it all seemed fine...

very confused, hope its not something serious, but a the same time i feel i'm not getting the most out of my 2zzge :(

running everything stock btw...

thanks

that my friend is limiter by the sounds of it.

your clutch still might be slipping, but that noise is def. limiter.

wow that was fast reply lol... but the needle still creeps up to 8... how do u set it higher? thrashing it high after resetting the ECU? when should u actually reset the ECU anyways? or changing the ECU?

can't stay in lift like this between shifts *cries* :(

you cant set the rev limit any higher without an aftermarket ecu (e.g powerfc)... alot of people cant stay in lift between shifts, thats pretty normal...

Suprathai - yeah its fully stock... the owner before did the muffler tip only. I very much DISLIKE the sports exhaust as i feel its too noisey for my liking and for a couple of KW, its not worth my money. <_<

Or MAYBE the camera was bad lol...

encounta - did you have the stock ECU as well?

BTW i just resetted my ECU (according to the TOC forums) and took it for a spin, there was a bit of improvement on gunning the engine. Also i dunno if it was my imagination, but the rev limit is a bit higher? :blink:

NFI seriously... <_<

who cares, i'll just keep driving it hard, hopefully the ECU is smart enough to know that I don't wanna gun it everytime and be easy on the fuel when i need it to be (ie looooong highway driving :P)

That includes tuning costs too.

PowerFC is very cheap at the moment due to the strong dollar/poor yen.

Cause that one has cai, and chirpin 1-2 and 2-3rds lol

Oh yeah... I've got a custom made one. It's just a plastic tubing that extends around the inside of the chasis and ends just on top of the front lip haha. I wondered if it really made a difference or getting the proper one is better?

correct me if i'm wrong, but i kinda thought that where the custom one is better becuz its sucking more air inside becuz of the poisition of the opening. the proper CAIs look like they are getting the heat from the engine + the outside air which can't be colder than pure outside air...

You're not confusing with SRI (short ram intake)? On the zze corolla the CAI places the filter behind the passanger side fog light, there is a bit of a pocket there away from the heat of the engine bay.

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.

      Cheap modifications for 2006 Corolla sedan

      Hey all! Am new to the world of Corollas (and Toyotas). Acquired a 2006 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport sedan in February 24. Manual, done approx 178000 klms now - and stock. Car is in fairly good condition. And really surprised at how well it does drive for an 18 year old car. Anyway, looking at getting some initial modifications done just to get back into working on cars, and also making the car more fun to drive. What are some things that you recommend? Pod Filter? Exhaust? Suspension? Any particular brand names? I did a quick search on ebay, and found Max Speeding Rods branded suspension - but couldnt find much else. Thanks all 🙂

      1gr tone wheel...

      G'day all, I had a head gasket replaced on my 1grfe 5 months ago. Since then I've been having power issues and 3 weeks ago it completely cut out. After a bit of mucking around, I was able to find a mechanic who told me the tone wheel had slipped back on the crankshaft, which has thrown the sensor... it's also bent the tone wheel and filled the crak angle sensor with metal shavings. The ute has just ticked over 300k, I'm wondering if I give up on it and buy a 1kd, or look into chasing up the idiots who put it back together after the head gasket.(they did a cv boot at the same time and held it in place with fencing wire and zip ties. Not the brightest bunch) Anything thoughts or sympathy appreciated.

      Can we use ULP 91 or E10 on Kluger Hybrid 2022

      Hi guys. I've got my Kluger Hyrid 2022 just few days ago. The fuel tank still nearly full but when checking the tank cap, I noticed it states "PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL ONLY, No Diesel" and "PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL RECOMMENDED, E10 FUEL SUITABLE". I called my dealer and he said I can use ULP 91 if I want, no issue. But I'd like to clarify: 1) When the car specifies "RECOMMENDED", does that means ULP 91 is acceptable, or I must strictly use 95 or 98. 2) Has anyone tried E10 in this type of car? If so, was it beneficial or not worth it. This is my first experience with a hyrbid car and I normally just use ULP 91 to save my money. Thanks
