Hey guys.

Just prepping for the arrival of the CAI and was wondering what you have done in terms of the mounting of the pipe at the bottom where the pod filter sits (seeing as the Injen was design for LHD Corollas, making the mounting bracket useless for our RHD Corollas)?

Has anyone made a custom mounting bracket and if so, what are the dimensions and how much would it cost to have it made?

Or are there any other alternatives of making sure that the pipe doesn't move around?

Cheers

Have you considered what the engine bay of a LHD Corolla looks like? It's not exactly reversed.

Yeah, I know it's not just a reverse of ours. If it were that simple everything would just be the other way around lol. Just wanted to see what others have done in order to mount there's so it doesn't move around the front bumper where the foglights are.

You just unscrew the bolt and take the stock airbox out, which you then replace it with the Injen CAI - it comes with a metal mount which you attach/bolt one end to the CAI and the other end to the existing airbox mount. Remember to reset your ECU too. :)

thanks dwee - that part I understand from the instructions, but what I was actually referring to how you would mount the piping where the pod filter is. from what I recall reading is that the mounting brackets supplied with the SP2079 won't be compatible with our 'rollas :( or does everyone just have there's dangling lol? (nohomo)

Pretty much.. Can use zip ties! I'm assuming you're referring to the mount just above the pod? You can also cut the flexible part of the CAI shorter, so the pod actually sits higher and sits above the foglights rather than directly behind them. A few of the members have done this, I just left it as it is.

Thanks guys.

Peter, which part are you referring to in regards to the "flexible part"? Haven't received my CAI yet so can't tell which part you're referring to. Also I don't even have foglights installed yet so I'm not sure if that would be an option for me. Hmm looking at your pic I'm still pondering whether to get a hydroshield or not :/

Just let u know the filter in facelift model sit higher than non-facelift.. Everytime I clean my car, I can actually use my towel to clean the filter. In prefacelift model, your hand cannot even reach the filter..

You have to uue zip ties to tie up the cables, especially the lightning cables

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
