hey guys,

tried doing a search but had mostly gear box issues come up, not really what i was after. shifting is fine.( feel free to point me in the right direction)

anyway one of my cousins just got a 05' face-lift corolla sportivo.. nice and tidy car, stock as a rock with 80,000km.

the bad thing is that the car dosen't want to rev past 7,000rpm.. i'v been in a few sportivo's in my time, stock and with mods, and this one doesn't seem to pull as hard as the others.. (goes just abit harder then my 1zz-fe)

power seems to die down after 6-6.5k and at 7k the car miss fires like its over revving and won't go anymore.

anyone else ever had this problem?

my cousins taking it back to toyota tomorrow to see what they say.

any help would be great..

cheers wil

Is lift still kicking in at 6000 rpm?

just got back from another test drive.. and would say no.. it doesn't go into the high lift cams.

after doing some research, some info i found..

lift works according to oil, temp and pressure (i'm new to lift, lol)

so could be OCV or filter - oil control valve

or could be lift bolts,

could you guys help me locate these?

any other ideas?

I doubt lift bolts as they fixed these in the engine revision in 2003.

The VVL filter in located on the rear of the engine next to the VVL solenoid.

ummm... it could be something as simple as the engine isn't warm enough. becuz really i'll hunt your cousin down if he is trying to lift when the engine is cold... :angry::wacko: lol :lol:

on a more serious note, lift does not engage when the engine is cold so make sure the engine is properly warm when he flogs it ;)

he took it back to toyota today and they pluged their computer into the ecu and found out that it was the OCV..

they have put one on order for him and it will soon be fixed hopefully.

sorry for the noob qestions but is the VVL filter is this the same thing as the OCV filter? and do you have any pics?

cheers SD

yes engine is at driving temp.. i would never thrash a car that is not at driving temp... as i would always make sure i cool my car down after a hard drive as well..

for the people who are interested..

i found some info about OCV's and how to replace them..

this is not a 2zz but an older 4age 20v which works similar to lift..

http://forum.9000rpm.co.za/viewtopic.php?id=7856

the ocv is a valve that opens ups at a certain rpm accordingly to your oil pressure and temp. the oil pressure then advances the cam timing creating lift. (my basic understand of it after 15min of searching ;) )

I heard it's all good now right? Assuming this person is my friend's cousin? Silver facelift? :P

If he still wants the eyelids, ask Andy if he still has them. See the FS thread here. It's unpainted.

      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

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
