hey guys,

i got a mate whos got a 03' stivo its just had a few repairs done at the dealer under warrenty. before it had the problems fixed the VVTi-L would kick in at about 6k rpm and you can feel it. but now after toyota fixed the VVTi-L oil pressure pump tht kick in the back feel is gone. :(

we don't knw if there was a problem ever since he got it, or is it a normal not to get a kick in the bak feel wen the VVTi-L kicks in? :blink:

could u other stivo owners help us out with this?

so does anyone else feel this kick in the back sensation wen the hit the 6k rpm mark while goin up to 8200rpm?

Did they change the ECU also? That can smooth it out more. Believe it or not, where you think you've lost power you've actually gained in the mid range. That's why the kick back isn't as harsh this time as there's a little more response between 4,000rpm and 6,000rpm.

Sounds like your mates car hasn't had the ECU recall done and now it has :D Doesn't have less power but actually more earlier in the rev range. :)

I still get a pretty big kick when LIFT kicks in at 6200rpm and i have had the recall done a while ago. So what actually was fixed on your mates car, just the oil pressure pump?

they changed the ecu out with another stivos and then changed it back coz he couldn't get the car past 7300RPM after they put the original ecu back everything worked but the dealer told him tht the VVTi-L hesitated at 6200RPM so they went to work and found the oil pressure pump was faulty and replaced it with a work part off another stivo. he is still waiting for the new part to arrive and have it fitted!

just for the record, lift should be from 6,000RPM - 8200RPM (fuel cut)

isn't it 5800-8600rpm for you :P

5,700 - 9,000rpm I think. Remember that Northy is a nutcase and likes power lol.

      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.
