I would like some help with finding the right CAI for my 2010 Corolla.

I have heard so many stories about the CAI screwing up the lights or what not.

Also, what's the law on CAI? Does it have to be inclosed?

After 'researching' I found this one http://www.weapon-r.com/index.php?act=view_product&id=459 <--- does anyone have this in their corolla? is this legal?

Sorry for all the questions.

THANK YOU!!

Jaclyn,

Firstly, welcome to TOCAU.

There are many CAI available for your ZRE. The one most popular one you will find on TOCAU is the Ingen one. There are a few members in VIC that have them installed, also in NSW and SA. All members to date haven't reported problems, so persoanlly i would look into them.

I myself have a custom made CAI by CES (in QLD) not cheap, but it does exactly what i want it to do. Just remember, the CAI may make your low rev performance a bit muddy.

Hope this Helps :)

Think I'd be to scared to install one of these myself (I'm a complete newb when it comes to car mechanics). Has anyone had one professionally installed before? and if so, how much are we looking at here and for what particular CAI? cheers guys. Looking forward to putting some meaty sound no homo, to my new car sometime soon :)

The Injen comes with very straight forward instructions, full pics for each step. All kits are pretty much the same, except SRI (Short Ram Intakes) dont require removal of the front bumper.

I think as long as you can operate a socket set and a screwdriver you can install it. Its actually a great first DIY mod. If your still not wanting to do it, i would estimate 1-1.5 hours for a mechanic to do it. Hourly rates vary widely. between $50-170/hour.

Toyota service guys should be able to do it in about 1/2 to 45min, 1 hour tops.

SRI can easily be done in about 15min.. maybe 30 min tops.

Thanks man. I think I'd still be uncomfortable modding it, seeing as it's a brand new car, I wouldn't wanna destroy it and lose the warranty on it.

Do you mean the intake or the chick? :P

I'm not sure if Charlie has it on his, but it would be similar to the Injen one in the sense it's for the American Corolla. Should fit though, have a look at this pdf.

Alternatively, he is selling his Injen CAI (post above). Easy to install. :)

If you looked at the ZRE FAQ, I need feedback if any! :)

Hey Vig, first of all welcome!

and to answer your question, yes the injen has the MAF sensor mount in it already, you just use the supplied hex screws to mount the sensor in, fairly simple to install

where abouts are you from?

ive got one for sale if your interested

Thanks man.

I am from Victoria burwood east is my suburb. Just trying to find your sale thread with my iPhone but can't seem to get around it. Currently I got Simota pod on with DIY Maf adaptor, which I presumed the CEL will come in and it did. Maybe is too much hot air going in but love the sound though especially when the 2nd valve opens at 5500 rpm. Lol. Anyway how much u selling it for?

Cheers bro

Great to meet those on the forum, get to know some familiar faces. PM me your number, and either I or the main/usual organisers will msg you details of meets etc. :)

      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.
