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

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...

Apexi Power FC will set you back around about $2500 I think, installed and tuned.

Is your car stock by any chance? Sounds a bit muted thats all... :lol:

Don't know about the other's, but i used to keep lift in between gear changes without hitting the rev limiter..

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.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
