Hey guys. I just had a quick search and can't find anything to help me out with my problem. So i took the corolla down the strip last night... the best time i could run was a 16.3 at 87mph... :( I have seen a few guys with intakes alone run high to mid 14 second passes. My car has the injen CAI and a 2.5' stainless mandrel bent cat back exhaust with high flow cat. So i was expecting to run atleast something towards a low 15 second pass. Obviously my car is down on power and im trying to work out why. The only thing i can think of is... with the injen CAI i was told to block off the hoses coming from what i think to be the charcoal canister (refer to photo). Is this correct??

Any help and opinions would be greatly appreciated, cheers guys

Ok guys so ive just checked out the thread on drag times and guys running a 2.5 second 60ft which isnt that quick are still running alot higher mph and alomst a second and a half quicker than what i can run. Even with a faster 60ft i still cant compare to any of the sportivos... even stock ones. Cleary it isnt driver related... something is wrong with my car. I NEED HELP PLZ GUYS!!!!

The guys running 14 second passes have no weight reduction.... a CAI and exhaust is all.

just cuz they dont have weight reduction, doesnt mean you cant do it,

you can do an ecu reflash as well, or get a power FC,

Wait what? Why touch the charcoal canister?

All you would of done was had to block the vacuum hose that controls the flap in the stock air box...

I understand weight reduction and driver talent play an important role but what im trying to say is that my car is down on power. You can easily tell this by the mph reading at the strip. So what im trying to say is... the power problems im having is that to do with my intake i.e the charcoal canister (refer to pic) or is my problem elsewhere.. thankyou

Ive just checked out the thread on drag times and guys running a 2.5 second 60ft which isnt that quick are still running alot higher mph and alomst a second and a half quicker than what i can run.

Also, could gearbox oil which is too thick slow my car down???

Cheers

The only vacuum pipe that needs to be blocked is the small nipple above the throttle body. It will be obstructed by two larger hoses. Not sure what you have doen with the charcol canister, but it doesn't need to be touched.

87mph isn't down by much, most would be seeing 91-93mph. Try an ECU reset as it can develop strange fuel trims over time. Also put it on a dyno and see what the curve looks like. Don't forget to check the spark plugs, compression, et cetera. Post a pic/scan of your time slip too.

When was the last oil and plug change? what filter is on the injen Cai? Is it clean?What are the specs of the catback system you have?? Far too many variables to blame any one thing but the fact that you are a lot slower and MPH is down indicates you arent making good power mid to top end which can mean either intake or exhaust side of things could be the issue as well.

      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.
