i had mine done at PITS

How much does it approximately cost? for say I/E.

Thanks.

Think its about $200 p/hr mine took almost 6 hours. make sure you get Dave's harness or you'll have problems

he has a celica so no need for the harness :)

Very observant :P

Wow! I thought tuning would cost sub 1k, would it take less time since i have a celica and don't have the problems with harness, temp gauge settings?

Celica/Sportivo has no bearing on how long it takes to complete the tune. I'm a little suprised it took Matt 6 hours though as he's tuned a few PFC 2zz's...

6 Hours seems long, unless he had some issues with it, or wanted the tune perfected?

My tunes have been 2-3 hours from Matt Spry.

999 have done the 2zz-ge before, but not sure on how good they are. Crossley's have also done a 2zz, but not sure if they still have the same tuner that did it, CHA54 might know?

Paul is still at Crossley's, he's the owner ;) He does nice safe tunes which wont leave you with a popped engine.

I believe Steve did the tuning on Matt's car a few years ago.

I'll be taking my turbo 2zz to Paul to get the top end dialed in

I'm actually wanting to spend my tax return on something and I originally decided on PPE headers + full custom mid pipe (hi flow cat and resonator). I already have done my custom magnaflow axel back exhaust.

That however is going to cost around the vicinity of 1-1.5k....

Getting the Apexi Power FC (possibly second hand) and tune might go for about the same as well.

Anyone have any advice on which I should go for if I'm on a budget?

Thanks.

If on a budget? I'd go the exhaust option. If you go the ECU option you'd probably want to retune it after mods to get more power out of them. That said, I found the mid range gains from a tune to be awesome; I haven't had an exhaust fitted so don't know what the gains are like with it. Only car with the exhaust done was Northy's Sportivo and it had all the bolt ons you could bolt on, it went hard though.

I bought the ECU just yesterday hahaha....

What mods did you have and what typical gains did you get if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks.

I've got a couple dyno sheets in my ride thread, click on the image in my signature to link to it.

Peak gains were minimal for me, but gained a lot mid range. I'm up about 15kW at 6000rpm.

Only enigne mods I have are the Piper stage 2 cams.

..............until it went TOO hard. :P :lol:

Did it blow? lol...

I was running my Power FC on base map before and I'm not quite sure if it was knocking.

Driving around normally I registered knock levels of below 15 but then at LIFT full throttle and hard shift I registered max knock of 45.

I better get it tuned first...

      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.

Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
