I have heard of a new K&N air filter with an unbuilt fan that sorta acts like a little 'turbo'. It's supposed to noticeably improve torque and power. Has any1 actually seen or heard of this product??

Sounds pretty awesome. Would love to see one.

But correct me if i'm wrong, if it forces induction wouldn't it effect the standard fuel map? Therefore, a tune would be required to ensure the AFR's are safe.

I believe he is referring to one of these:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Electric-Supercharger-Turbo-Power-Intake-System-/260837775512?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cbb249898#ht_5346wt_905

But correct me if i'm wrong, if it forces induction wouldn't it effect the standard fuel map? Therefore, a tune would be required to ensure the AFR's are safe.

Nah mate, it won't affect the fuel MAP at all. The ECU will simply act like it doesn't see it and everything just works.

... Because it really does nothing except make others laugh.

I HIGHLY recommend you buy it. It will give you noticeable gains.

You'll be looking at up to 20kw gains on a 2ZZ-GE... seriously :ph34r:

they are really bilge pump, u can go to any marina store and buy them for $50.

they flow at like 100-150cfm, on idle a 1.6l should do aprox 125cfm, so at higher revs it would just get in the way.

might be ok if u like driving between 1-3k rpm?

Well if it doesn't force induction why buy it instead of a standard pod-type filter?

I would look for an after market product that can cool down the air without causing condensation instead. That should be more useful than a fan.

Maybe invent somthing that uses the aircon partly bypassed into the CAI ?

Ah but what if you can somehow use L2N to cool the air inside the intake tube? How cold and dense would the air be by the time it reaches the engine? Hehehe...

You are referring to something that already exists (CO2 is more cost efficient):

By the way I'm being sarcastic :rolleyes:

It won't do anything. It's just a marketing gimmick for cheap ****s who don't want to fork out for the real thing B)

If anyone tells you they can feel the difference... it's all in their dense head (placebo effect).

Save your money for something else ;)

That's pretty cool, I just saw the diagram, looks complicated with a tank of CO2 and everything. I was thinking about something a bit simpler and smaller, without the need to refill for a long time. Like a heatsink filled with L2N around the intake tube.

      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.

      Hi Guys, My Camry 2010 Touring just had a regas done on it and the next day for some reason it wasn't blowing cold air but the next day it is and now working with nice cold air BUT every now and then we can hear and feel a buzz for a few secounds and today while my sister took my car I could her like a mild knocking sound when stopped but goes away when driving off. Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
