Hello, after reading about the different CAI’s people have installed in their Sportivos I decided to buy a CES CAI and have it shipped down to Melbourne. Very impressed with the sound and the power gains I even think I am getting better fuel economy but there are a few things I would like to say to people thinking of buying this CAI.

- Hard to install, I got my fried who is a mechanic to do it for me it took him a bit over 2 ½ hours to do, The whole from bumper and light had to come off and he also had to cut a bit of the panel next to the battery so it could fit.

- I find that down at around 1000-2000 rpms it is not as responsive as the stock filter.

Over all I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone I am also buying the CES headers and exhaust system in about 2 weeks time. Ill see if I can get a dyno just with the CAI and the with the whole system. Ill keep you all posted.

Is this on a facelift Sportivo?? As with all CAI's that are fitted to facelifts you need to modify the hole behind the headlight to give a little more clearance as Toyota in their infinite wisdom made the hole smaller and the back of the headlight bigger hence less room. Whether it's on a 1zz or 2zz you will have to modify the back edge of the hole for about a half inch extra room.

On prefacelifts there shouldn't be any probs as the hole is bigger.:)

Yep, facelift your are right. I did not know that they told me it was easy to fit and that there where no mods to be done.

On the pre facelift models(which testing at CES was done on) there's no modification to be done. It just needs the lip on the back side of the hole to be folded down for minimal clearance as it does with all CAI's on facelift models.

It's a shame I didn’t know this because the last think I wanted to do was cut that the panel, the car only has 10000 Km's. Its done know. It is still a very tight fit.

I am also thinking of getting some other type of connection between the engine and the CAI to make it a better fit because when I first fit it in the car it used to hesitate at low RPMS, it was only until I pushed the pipe more into the plastic connector that it does not happened any more.

Mate, good to see your happy. Let us all know howe you go when you fit the rest of the gear. Are you coming up to hav it fitted, or getting it shipped down there?

I am having the headers and the exhaust shipped down to Melbourne.

Does anyone know how much gains I should be looking when I Dyno it? It would help me gauge if everything was installed correctly or not.

I will have CES CAI, exhaust and Headers everything else is stock. Would 120KW atw be achievable?

what about with just the CES CAI? Has anyone have this set up only?

Before the whole dyno and CES debate starts all over again here is what has been achieved with TRD CAI and CES cat back system.

On my car(pre facelift) a gain of 9kw from the exhaust and TRD CAI a gain of just under 5kw. CES CAI had approximately 4kw more than TRD CAI with same filter. Headers fitted to my car with above mods yielded just on 5kw gain on peak power but fattened up low to mid range power.

So to answer your question 120kw is achievable for sure. My car without headers has pushed 119kw on a coolish day(about 20degrees) and in 32degree heat with 76%humidity it pushed 113kw.(without CES intake)

Expect to see about 15kw gain with the 3 mods but as has been seen before different dynos read differently in different states and the varying differences between sportivo's is also another factor to take into consideration.

At current Northy is the only one to have CES intake,headers and exhaust but hasn't as yet had a dyno done. But chat to him as he'll give you an idea of the differences each mod makes to your car and as a whole.

Well, if all those items are working in order, 120kw wheels is achievable. Highest dyno read in Melbourne was BanGn with 113kw wheels as far as i remember, that's just with cold air intake and hard driving.

Have CES got dyno results of each item yet?

They do will have to try and source them from them to post up.

Next Dyno day? When?

I suggest, just go and do baseline dyno now before you add the exhaust. From there on we can see the gain made by the full exhaust system.

Just look for percentage of gain increase, its a much more accurate figure than comparing who got highest number.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.
