The head will be off to do the valves and springs; so no better time :P

Silvabullit, CHA54 or even Tighe Engineering would know where to go for head porting. Just make sure they flow bench before and after so you know if you gained or lost anything in the process.

when you say that is there a chance i could be going backwards?

what would a reasonable price be to do this work? just the porting? and will polishing make any noticeable difference?

Yes. Just like any other engine mod, they don't always make power.

polishing is a waste of time. the basic port shape in the 2ZZ is very good. There are a few 'nasty" spots left over from casting, but radical changes are not needed. on heads like this, you will hardly measure any change in maximum flow. you will however get gains from detailed valve & seat work. depending on what valves you bought, some improvements to their shape & flow may be possible. There are real problems with fitting oversized valves in these heads

Looking forward to the results, how much do you think its going to cost?

Roughly 1200 to fit all parts and port work. This does not include pulling the head off which shouldn't cost a great deal i hope

I'd expect there to be quite a few hours of labour to remove/reinstall the head if the engines in the car.

I live in NSW but currently visiting relos in Sunnybankhills ,might pay these guys a visit..

How many K's had your engine done before the work done on it ?

It's a bit lean down low. I'd have that enriched by about 1 point.

If you have a baseline graph can you provide that too? The gain is the important bit, the final number isn't.

i haven't picked it up yet so not sure of the total cost plus there is a few other little bits and pieces 999 are doing for me. The car has 55,000 km if your in the area i think they may be tuning it tomorrow so you could have a look.

Dave that was the last run they did when i got the PFC put in. We'll have to see what they do this time around...

Anyone want to have a guess at the gains??

In terms of peak power, I got similar values to you, but with the headers must be easier to drive everyday. As SD has said a little bit lean downlow more power and torque to be had down there. You should be gaining around 10kw but don't let the numbers get to you.

lol . i will try if i happen to rock up when all this is happening but not too sure if they will just let some bloke in the workshop taking photos especially when i'm not the owner ..

Maybe whilst i'm at it i should ask for a Test Drive as well ?? :spiteful:

      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.
