I have now had the Unichip and TRD extractors fitted. Damn the car is fast. No hesitation. The torque hole seems to have disapppeared. I have gained approx 40nm of Torque at the wheels and KW well thats my secret :ph34r::ph34r: the car drives completly different. :D :D : Mind you has been a expensive week for all of the above almost $3000. :(. Put your foot down and seeya.....

Cool peekay, i guess your Stivo can beat the Type R and WRX now with that much more torque and an undisclosed power figure. I would guess you made an extra 15-20kw at the wheels from UniChip, TRD Extractors and CAI. That would make your Stivo produce approx. 160kw and 220nm flywheel figures :o :o Not bad considering no engine mods were undertaken. Probably with cams you would make another 10kw! That will make your Stivo fly around with 6s 0-100! Man, i would love to see you take on an S2000! Just remeber to bring a video recorder along nowadays :lol:

peekay, if u got a uni chip installed then your car had to be dynoed to tune it. have u got the dyno print out?, if not ask for one. i have looked up the unichip and had to guys explain to me that they need the car to be on the dyno for a couple of hours to tune it right.

Spent Saturday with Peekay in his car. All I can say is 'WOW'. 3rd gear is just awesome!!!

We both received the extractors together. To warn all you guys mine do not fit properly and the extractors need to be modified. Apparently Toyota changed the head on the 2zzg motor for all cars built after July 2003. The extractors are made for the pre July 2003 engine.

Damn... As I have to drive my old car while my Stivo lies in pieces waiting for the extrators to be modified. I do not know what mods are required as my Toyota dealer have organized them for me. All I know is it had a massive exhaust leak as they were. I luv my Dealer :rolleyes:

IM GREEN WITH ENVY! :lol:

congrats! thats very resourceful on ur behalf. u now have the quikest stivo in aust, maybe in the world!

its good to see some decent mods appearing on the market.

i think there will be many more once the eclipse (with the worked stivo engine) establishes itself on the market.

Ilivfor6: plz let me know how it turns out with your extractors, as i too will be purchasing them

peekay34: so if we call up uni chip and say we want a chip for the stivo, will they know of what we speak and give us the same thing you got?

ps: hows that effect your warrantee?

Excuse my noobness but all my car experience is in pre computer type cars. Can you just upgrade the chip and nothing else for a performance boost or do you have to get the inlet and outlet done and a chip matched to the new breathing flow?.

Is better to do alll mods before doing Unichip as any changes may require a retune. Warranty ...pass probably not. And depends where you go re who knows what I went to one of the better Unichip tuners in Melbourne.

Yeah im not going to do any other mods though, I want my car to be pretty much stock but would just like to get rid of a bit of that torque hole :(.

Dyno chart you ask don't you believe me....... Not sure I will post the chart because it was given to me in Tune mode and also on a Hot day so will not show as bigger figures as it should be ...I would like to see the figures from the standard car. Also each Dyno is different. Lets just say that I would be turning over an estimated 115 kw at wheels in shootout mode for a normally aspirated car that is only 1.8 litres well need I say more. Considering based on other tests the normal car only turns out approx 90kw+ this is a major gain. Also I am waiting to scan the chart as I don't have the ability to scan at the moment. Also the trouble with this forum at times is that no body beleives you unless you have it signed in triplicate in blood and 20 photographs to back it up and even then you get questioned. ;) ;)

I believe you peekay :D How's lift with the chip and extractors? Does it kick in sooner or later and is cut out still @ 8200?

Still redlines at 8200 transition into lift just feels great a bit smoother. Also still kicks in at approx 6k

I was looking at the Unichip/APS website and the graph they have for a Celica has about 103kw at the wheels stock, and about 116kw after chipping.

There's no indication if other mods were done to that car, but there's no reason to expect that the same motor would behave differently in the Stivo, right?

Edit -- An interesting thing is that graphs for the VTEC cars (1.6 Civic and 1.8 Integra) had no discernible bump in power or torque at lift, the way ours do.. They BOTH also had only about 90kw at the wheels stock.

      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.
