also in regards to filters i think the ITG has greater airflow but not as good filtering compared to like say K&N. ITG has predominantly been tested/used on race cars like F1 that require max airflow hence the foam design (HKS foam filters also flow great amounts of air but has poor filtering capabilities), and remember F1 engines only last 1 or 2 races before rebuilding so. I think K&N has been more widely tested and used on street cars and because of their design with the oil it traps finer dirt particles and if you are after more security i would go with K&N. But at the end of day its again up to individual preference. If youthinking of getting every kw out of your car go with ITG but if you keeping your car for donkey years i don't know, maybe stick with factory airbox and paper filter :P

ITG can be oiled as well... the core of the filter has 2 levels of pore size, a co@rse filter on the outer (the bit you see) and a finer pore core in the middle. The filtering levels should still be OK.

Danz - I think the same the AEM look exactly the same as the larger K&N filter, most likely the same...

EDIT: geeeezzzz it wont let me write co**** because it contains ****... WTF???

I think the TRD pod filter is also based on K&N. I had a look at my TRD pod today and its really filthy after 20,000kms, some parts of the filter is literally black. Time for the K&N to go on soon i think.. Hopefully i don't go backwards in the power/torque department since its the K&N pod with the funnel i have now, a little smaller and clears the fog light with no issues ;)

How's te AEM pod Dylan? Does it touch the fog light forcing you to push the pod up the pipe abit more?

The ITG does this which is why you need to by an extra pipe to sort of bend it back away from the light

Don't throw away your TRD, just grab yourself K&N cleaning kit and clean the TRD. The TRD is oil based right?

Yeh the TRD might look the same as the K&N but the material used for the pod might be different so i don't know about using a K&N cleaning kit on the TRD pod. Besides i already have a K&N pod and its smaller so it doesn't touch the fog light ;) The TRD pod will be for sale after if anyone wants it.

Yeah the pod over hangs the light about half way down the light, the neck of the pod is silicone rubber so it just bends back. It sits OK with the spot light out but when pushed back in the pod is pushed back a little way. I'll have a look at it tomorrow to see if the join has shifted at all because of this now I've gone on some longer drives. I also want to chesk that air isn't getting in or out anywhere else because it doesn't make the big *SIGH* when you turn the car off now :blink::huh::huh:. I'll check it out...

I've never done this before that's why I'm asking, but how do you clean the POD filter? I've had mine for over 10000, so I think it's about time to clean it as well.

You can have mine also buddy  :)  i'l have a latte with 2 sugars thanx  :P

So when are you going to drop by and have that latte? No one visits me here anymore other than the faithful Bill and the occasional Marcus.

Back to the topic, so do I wash the filter with water and than dry it and oil it?

Egene, you must use some type of cleaner even detergent, so that it washes the dirt and grease off your filter. Then let it dry naturally. PFFFFFFFf thats gona take forever, so i preheated the oven to about 120 degrees, and let the filter "roast" for a while. Then i used the hair dryer from far away and it dried in a couple of hours. Then i reapplied oil. It was like new, except i oiled it too much so it sucked up a bit up and gave a hell of a stench in the garage that lasted a few days but it was fine.

Forget cleaning it during winter man, I tried and I don't like to do it again

never clean it in winter again why is that i figure it would take longer to dry but if thats not your reason then wouldnt it be better to have it clean in winter due the the fact the air is colder there for more response and power so you want les restriction to get asmuch as this cold air in as possible

:D

yeah man. Besides, the pod filter is good up to 50000km before you clean it, and dust particles helps the pod filter out the air anyway.

      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.
