hey guys, i've read on how to change the filter at this post

http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...showtopic=11928

i tried to look in the service manual for the sportivo and havevn't found any pictures and stuff related to the fuel filter change...

maybe becuz i have adobe 9.0 and it needs 6 to run

i might uninstall the 9.0 and run 6 and see how that goes!

in the meantime if anyone has pictures esp of the rings and stuff that need to be reused please post them!

Thanks all

and i was going to buy the ryco fuel filter for my car and i wasn't sure it would be the right part or not...

Not sure if there is a difference between Japanese or SA, but just get the SA one as all Sportivos were built there.

Any particular reason you want it changed? It isn't a cheap part.

not really, the service book recommends changing it at 80,000 kms, i'm at 85,000km now.

It isn't a cheap part.

actually, its not that bad (40 bucks from super cheap)...;) its the labour thats expensive (100+ from toyota :o)

i rang ryco and they said that the Z654[iT] can be used for both SA and JP builds...

i'm not very confident about changing it for the moment after reading the manual... so i'll wait for my uncle to have free time so he can help me out

ryco guarantees thier products and it specifically says it won't void warrantee (not that i'm under warrantee anyways) :P

If you read the warrantee/guarantee on the Ryco box it only covers the item itself, not much condolence if the repairs from failure* stretch into the thousands.

* I'm in no way saying or implying Ryco parts are bad, just pointing out the fine print.

for the sake of an additional $40 you've got rocks in your head to not go with the genuine part.

nah its not the money i'm worried about...

its just sometimes the aftermarket ones work the same or better than the original parts...

plus i was getting the cabin filter forom the same company as well, so might as well grab the fuel filter from there too

i used the ryco ol filter and air filter for the engine and i haven't had any issues with it so far

the zze fuel filter is a lot more complicated than an air or oil filter. If you'd pulled one apart you would understand.

yeah i know after reading the manual i feel not very confident doing it... hence waitin til my uncle has time to help me... have u done it before CHA54, or u'd rather let toyota do it?

mixed opinions when im reading up on this one... some say its not as hard as it looks... i'm paranoid all the time for first time <_<

but when i learn how to do it, its sweet as :D

I've done a few, one was with a non genuine filter and it was the worst.

The hardest part is dissasembling the old pump/filter assembly to swap the top plate. You need to make sure all the o-rings etc are seated correctly otherwise your car wont run.

why was it "the worst"? how did it make the engine feel? more sluggish and less power? or was fitting it the hard part?

cheers

the fit/finish of the filter assembly was ordinary compared to genuine. I didn't bother to check the car with a wideband or fuel pressure gauge before/after to see if it had caused any running difference. Wasn't my car so I don't really care, I do know if it was my car I would have used a genuine filter assembly.

Cool thanks for the info... I'll try the ryco first and see how I go. If there is alot of difference in the performance I'll change to the denso ones...

Cheers :)

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      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.
