Anyone know of any other cheap places to get an Injen CAI ?

I contacted IND_Koncept and they said they no longer ship to Australia which is a shame :(

I just spent the last couple of hours doing a diy cai...

Got a 3" to 2.5" reducer + 3" flex pipe. Cut the existing intake feed and stuck this one on.

Woah... what a difference it makes, intake sound is noticeably louder from 3000rpm upwards and throttle response is noticably faster. :D :D :D

Total cost: $40

It's a great job well done :)

That's the way i want to do mine too, so did you bypass the white box on top of the fog light cover?

Can you tell me what material to buy please? Thanks :)

Mine's pre facelift, I didn't notice any white box on top of the fog light cover. The flexi pipe just sucks air from within that front chamber.

Flexi pipe can be bought from clark rubber, and 3" to 2.5" reducer at supercheap auto or ebay. You also need something to join the flexi pipe to the reducer - I used a pvc gutter down pipe extender that I had lying around in the backyard. If you can get a 2.5" diameter 90 elbow it would make installation a lot easier rather than using the existing intake and cutting it like I have.

Big bum, thanks... will ask you about your source once I crave for more power...

Thanks Bit Racer,

Mine's the pre facelift too, the white box is under metal plate that sit under the battery....But since you have connect the pipe directly to the airbox, then you would had by pass it already....

Thanks for the info :)

That's an excellent bang for buck mod. The CAI piping will give you colder air still tho, and will suck more, but hey...for $40? That's coooool.

I won' tbe doing that DIY intake mod if your car is a sportivo. I assume you remove the panel fitler which leaves no filteration as the flap door on the lower box opens for short-ram effect at around 4000rpm (or maybe 6000rpm, I forgot).

Always ;)

You wanna do it right, cheap, is to hook up flexible pipe onto the white pipe inside the top airbox. You need to cut the trumpet bit of the white pipe though. Finish it with solid piping and lead it down behind the bumper where you finally put in the pod.

I wish i got time to do this DIY mod, even though I got CAI, this mod seems to be fun to do.

Mr Poignant hahahahahaha.

What would we do without you man. Always thinking outside of the square. Bah, I think CAI is still the go. You've got your AEM anyway man. It's just good to see someone DIYing for a change. Show pics of your DIY intake man before you got the AEM heehee.

yeah, so Bit Racer must have a sportivo. I won't be doing that DIY cold air intake mod if the panel filter is not used.

I am using the panel filter in the air box which I'll probably change to a k&n or trd later on. The main objective was to replace that dicky factory intake feed which goes to 1" diameter in one section of the intake.

The induction noise from the box can be heard - not as loud as a aftermarket cai but very noticeable when reving high and definitely when in lift.

I guess this combined with 98 octane fuel and an ecu reset I'm really feeling a big difference in performance.

I think $US100 was when they had a special. What was the shipping cost woody? Just to compare to my source.

      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.
