Might be a good idea before you blow your engine up. Do plenty of research and ask plenty of questions before swinging a spanner is the key.

Yes, I love to swing that spanner...I've had some success in the past. If it was going to blow, it would have over the 300 odd k's I drove it before disconnecting. I may have dodged a bullet on that one. point taken.. no more fiddling with stuff I know sweet fa about.. clearly I dont have the knowledge or tools to do this job... next.

I got bored this arvo, home sick...:unsure: me being bored is always dangerous for my cars.. and put the boost controller back in, no extra fuel, just what the HKS fcon regulates.. working ok. no lumps or bumps. see how it goes. max boost 11 psi just tested.

You'd better be hoping that F-CON is adding enough fuel or BOOM!!! :blink: Are you monitoring your AFR's?

No shop with dyno in the last week has opened up in town, so AFR's still unknown.. but if a HKS F-CON cant regulate the fuel properly 2psi over stock like it supposedly can, they shouldnt be in business. I'll take my chances for now... but when time and oppurtunity allow I will check it out on a dyno and maybe increase the boost some more. I dont flog the garbage out of my engine so the BOOM your expecting is highly unlikely IMO, stock ECU.. yes probly. Should it go boom I will sell the gt4 in shame and buy a mazda 121.. 90's style. :P Like I said, it ran perfect this arvo, if I get the slightest indication its not right, (ie miss, backfire etc etc) out it comes.. Its not being force fed extra fuel like it was on first attempt... I just had the mega sh!ts today over personal stuff and this gave me something else to think about.. right or wrong.. let me have my fun!

Thanks Trent, I appreciate your advice.. dont give up on me, I am listening. can I say "she'll be right mate" lol.. I like a bit of risk, it gets the heart going and you know your alive. It's like overtaking and accidentally hitting 170. oops.. and wondering if a cop is coming the other way.. love it. :spiteful: And if it blows... well its only a car. And it will give me an excuse to really play around with the engine when rebuilding.. hmmm..

      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.
