If you could find away to run a smaller one, sure. However the TRD pulley is that small as is, that a smaller pulley would would likely not work as the belt would not have enough surface area to grip and cause belt slip, nullifying any gains.

Haha, if I (had a money tree) to embark on such a path, I'd be trying something like 10~12psi, was only stating my curiosity that there's apparently the same charger (body only?) putting out a heck of a lot more pressure (Already knew that we've got a tiny pulley).

The silliest ideas are the ones that get trashed before even being discussed with ones peers!

Wait, so you are telling me there are worse ideas... :o

Yeah. The FMIC idea.

Never really paid much attention as to how the charger setup worked on these, also being that I only have an NA one. Im still stuck in the world of boosted Skyline motors. Completely different beast.

I see. Always helpful to throw ideas into the mix even if you don't know much about said topic.

op well you pretty much get you answer, or not.....................

Not a lot of ppl have deep enuf pockets to throw away the cash and time and to be honest the returns just arnt worth the gains.

Those that have owned TRD's and look for more power just move on thats how you get more power.

The rest are happy with what they have. And the usual few bolt ons keeps the weekend flyers happy. Then it's just braging rights for the lucky one or two that might have a slightly better traction for their quarter runs.

Not taking away from those that own TRD's i have been in them, they just arn't in the same league as the holdens or fords for power gains.. but then they don't feel as nice on the road as the Aurions imo.

Pretty much this. Holden/HSV and Ford/FPV have so many performance mods available to them but they simply don't feel as well built as a Toyota/TRD/Lexus.

I've driven my brother's VE Senator (series 1) and I've been in a mates FG FPV F6 (321kW, 829Nm). The build quality is miles away from my mum's 08 Lexus GS460 and is a touch better than my dad's 2012 Yaris YR. Quite embarassing that they only have a slightly better build feel, than a 18k, base model Yaris.

Exactly as stated, they dont feel as nice on the roads.

Which is a shame, i would have been happy to shell out upto 40k cash when in the market, the fact that i could have what i thought was a better car for a measly 20k+ cash blew me away.

Even the old camrys like yours andrew drive ok in comparison and you can pick them up for like 4.5k now. Ford and holden lost the plot a while back,

I drove my mates maloo home the other night from the rosehill races..... for 70k worth of car i was dissapointed in every aspect of feel and build and visability........

Cept when i put my foot down :D phwaaaaaar i dont remember the trd feeling anything like that.

I would have compared mine to them but I have LONG forgotten what stock suspension comfort was like. :mellow:

Now that you point it out, one thing that really got on my nerves with the Senator was the MASSIVELY intrusive A pillar and ridiculously poncy sized mirrors.

Guess it's pretty straight forward really, if the Stock TRD doesn’t have the power or performance you’re looking for and if you’re not willing to adopt to how you have to drive a powerful fwd to extract the best out of it than simply the Aurion isn’t for you as there isn’t a great deal of gear out there to help make them go harder.

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?

      Advice needed

      On the surface it sounds like total nonsense, but there is a kernel of possibility in there. Firstly, firing _order_ is a function of the distributor cap and the spark plug wires, but to run right it relies on matching the order in which the camshafts open/close the valves and the crankshaft moves the pistons up/down. If none of those things have been changed as part of the turbo install, then firing _order_ isn't the problem (standard for a 4-cylinder is 1-3-4-2). Confirming your leads are going to the right spark plugs is a quick and free check though, and an easy thing to stuff up when putting everything back together if you were forgetful/distracted. Ignition _timing_, on the other hand, is what you would be looking at if the diagnosis was that the engine was firing on the downstroke. Normally, ignition timing is set to fire the spark plugs just BEFORE top-dead piston centre (ie, on the compression upstroke, this is called timing ADVANCE), so that the combustion occurs at the very top of the cycle to impart the most downwards force to the piston. If the ignition timing is completely out, then the spark plugs might be firing AFTER top-dead centre (timing RETARD), which will make the engine run like a bucket of bolts and also incredibly rich. Get a strobe and see what the timing is doing. However, the fact that you're contemplating installing a Haltech makes me think you've done this turbo upgrade without touching the factory computer, which in reality is most likely to be the culprit. Whilst it can work in some scenarios, running more than a small amount of boost through an NA engine/computer without any other upgrades is a recipe for disaster, as the ECU doesn't know how to handle the extra air (or can't even measure it properly to begin with) and will just flail around trying to adjust. Also, there is no "exhaust downstroke". In a suck-squeeze-bang-blow 4stroke, the exhaust part of the cycle is an upstroke of the piston (to force the burnt gases out of the combustion chamber). Intake (suck) = downstroke. Compression (squeeze) = upstroke. Power/combustion (bang) = downstroke. Exhaust (blow) = upstroke.

      I've recently done a head gasket on my 3rz hilux after I blew it Head was checked and is all good, reassembled. Now it will start and ilde for 2-3 seconds and stall. Won't accelerate. I've double triple checked timing, all earth's ect are where they should be. Changed plugs, checked coils, valve clearances, will be changing MAF today What else should I look at?? It was turbo but converted back to N/A as it's now my brothers car

      Advice needed

      Hi All, im dave from carrum downs. A mate who is a mechanic and I, who isnt a mechanic and with basic car knowledge. We installed a turbo into my 2.7ltr 2003 Toyota hilux 3RZN154R engine, ever since we got it going its been miss firing, back firing, running lean to sparkplug loaded with carbon. Everything but running right. Can anyone please help. My mate has told me the engine has changed the firing order to the downstroke would it change the engines firing order to its exhaust downstroke. I don't understand if or how this could be possible. We have tried everything almost. From fuel pressure regulators to about to install a distributor. To buying and about to install haltech 750. Im in need of some good advice to understand where we have gone wrong. It would be greatly appreciated. ✌️ Daveo

      I have the Cruiser Hybrid 2024 and can confirm that AA wireless is not working, still needs the cable. I'm a bit disappointed because my phone won't fit anymore in the wireless charger tray.

      Hi!

      Hi to all! Derek here, recently got our RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid 2024 from almost 2 years of wait. Before that we have and still keeping our trusty 2008 Corolla. I join the club because I'm a bit overwhelm by the features and the new technology that came with the RAV4, my wife is afraid to drive it because of this, more fun for me. 😄 Cheers, Derek
