hey guys bellow is an exact quote from an e-mail i received on a JUST released australian CAI kit for our stivos

personally i think its VERY pricy as it hasnt got any shiiping costs compared to the TRD kits but oh well it claims to be better

just thought i would pass on some information i have

i have pics but dont know how to post them maybe i could e-mail them to someone(looking for ZEE and DYLAN here) and they could post them for me

hi Justin,

so far the feed back has been great ,compared to Simota and TRD kit ,our kit makes the engine rev smoother especially at high peak RPM ,the others seem to make the engine hesitate .

I cant get better than that customer feed back ,

the kit is $399 with K&N pod or $460 with the Apexi Super intake + fitting $50

see att more pics

We also just received from Japan Power Enterprise Camcon units ,the only cam controller available for the Toyota

Cheers

Sal

geez that's expensive... The custom ones we were going to do would have sold for $150-200 without the pod, and include a nice profit. The tubing costs $6ea

It's a little pricey I think as well. Would like to see how it looks though. Most "custom" intakes copy either the AEM or TRDs, so unless they bent it in a new way, I don't see how it'll be better than either.

I agree with Motoman, installed Injen CAI last night, cost me $AU213.00. Sounds awesome and develops noticably more power & torque between 4 & 6000 RPM. :lol:

Ive also been able to land lift 1st-2nd.. HEAPS easier since installing... used to maybe 1 in 10... now more like 8 in 10

i scare alot of people with how loud my car is now... :P

The injen doesnt really get loud until 5500rpm... then it goes absolutely beserk!

so... what's the difference between a bolt-on CAI and a ghetto one, where you use a foil duct and duct it from the front air dam? Don't they do the same thing, at a fraction of the price? :blink:

Sportivos and newer celicas (same engine of course) have Airflow sensors..

doesnt seem to work well with ghetto setups

Check my garage for pics of the INJEN

It's not really that ghetto tho... just ducting cold air into the airbox (or air filter) from the front.

I guess different pipes are made from different metals some of which are most "co****" and more air restrictive. Maybe the "better" brand pipes are made from smoother metals.

nonono.... I'm not talking about a long induction pipe like yours E, I'm talking about a short induction pipe (maybe even stock) and having a duct run up from the fr ont, to the air filter, not extending the air filter downwards....

am I making sense?

there is a difference. using coil foil i guess it is economical and helps to bring cold air from outside into the inlet. with the pod however it collects air 360 degrees so should be more effective.

but you get intake lag due to the longer intake pipe.... so wouldn't it be a tradeoff anyway?

I've got this new pipe installed a few days ago. Changed it from the Simota one. As far as I can tell at the momet it is much smoother than the Simota one. I don't have a good pod filter for it yet. I'm sure a K&N filter or Apexi filter would make it much better. The price is OK as u can see it comes with K&N filter for $399. When u buy the TRD CAI people tend to change it to the K&N anyway. I'll take pics one day and show u guys. I will be testing this one out for a few weeks and will tell u guys what I think.

do the specific brands make a diff when i comes to CAI?

because ive seen a few that are around the same price as AEM/INJEN/TRD but have never heard anyone mention them on this site.

eg: STREETGLOW/WEAPON R

from what ive been reading the weapon r is supose to be awsome.

but never heard anyone mention them is this because there not as popular in australia or somthing?

and also 360 degrees MORE prone to hot air unless you have the pod rammed so it taked cold air from the outside

      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.

      Camry Touring 2010 A/C Issues.

      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.
