Hey guys

On Saturday I installed the TRD CAI...

Woo hoo... how good is that induction sound! :D

it was a very stressful 3 hours, especially since the TRD instructions bear very little relevance to the OZ model.

Want to send a very very big thankyou to Danthuyer for his help and phone calls on Saturday. Without his help I would still be there tearing my hair out.

The 2zz sounds like a bloody F1 engine once it hits lift (exaggerating i know). People turn aound and look, and my exhaust is stock! Even put a smile on my girlfriend when she heard it.

<_< ;) :) :D B)

Only too glad to help Davin :D I know how frustrating the install can be by looking at those installation instructions.

As soon as someone in Brisbane gets a new one I will make full doco that can replace the one sent with it.

That or I'll just rip mine out and do it for fun :D

Glad to hear another happy TRD CAI owner is here. Now for that LSD ;)

thanks, its pretty expensive though. Is there anything special about the TRD. Just thinking it may be cheaper to use the simota plumbing into the bumper, and use a k&N pod filter. May yield same results.

I agree. It seems quite expensive for CAI.

That is the price i got it for, u might find it chepear elsewhere but because it is manufactured in the USA exchange rate plays a major role in the cost. It is also a baulky item to freight hence comes in a BIG box. $450 included freight.

You can get Simota which is 2.5inch piping not 3inch like AEM or TRD for a couple of hundred less. The TRD CAI is never going to be cheap because they have been R&D'd on 2ZZGE engines to work perfect and is even warranted by Toyota in the USA.

i agree all TRD stuff seems expensive but its all imported parts isnt it

i wanna go all TRD with all my upgrades on my car but it may cost too much extra compared to other parts to stick with strictly TRD

i was thinking TRD CAI but with a lukey exhaust system as i can get a better price cus ive had heaps of work done before from there

Trust me guys, you won't regret getting the TRD CAI. No one here with it fitted has had a bad comment about it except a few that had the rubber elbows fitted incorrectly, which splitted it but was replaced by Bruce. But other than that its one of the best engine mods and probably the best bang for buck mod for the 2ZZGE ;)

motoman - check out the workshop section for my guide on the installation - or you can always call me on my mobile. Davin did.....im thinking he's glad he did too :D

The CAI topic is almost as hot as the dyno one..hahaha mx83 has a point but in the same sence the TRD gear is very expensive for what it is.

Hey guys dont forget Warwick from Bowater!!!!!!!! in NZ he also can get cheap TRD gear.

      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.
