Hey GUys

I recently brought a U. Smade CAI for my car.

Just went out and did a quick measurement of the pipe and it seems to be 70mm (2.75 ")

Now ive done some searching but i cant find any clear cut answers.

Firstly are the TRD AEM and INJEN Cais 70mm or 75mm?

Secondly the filter in the corolla part sections (K+N Extreme 3900 POD Filter - RX-3900-1) says it has a 3" flange or 75mm.

So im guessing that one wont fit.

Can anyone give me an idea on what filter to get. Lookign to spend $140 max. Was thinking ITG but cant ifnd where to get them or maybe the TRD one if it will fit.

Thanks

Bill

I'm hoping Blitz make something in that size for that application. banGn had a Blitz filter and the thing was awesome.

the AEM is also 70mm, I think the Injen is also.

pretty certain the TRD one is also 70mm

I've been wondering the same thing with regards to upgrading the filter, but for a questionable 1-2kw... why?

as long as its an oil-paper filter, you should be right, CAIs + dry types = mushie paper in the rain.

And if u really sunk your car into that much water that u manage to hydrolock it (its near impossible to do with out driving into a lake) then no filter, good or bad will make a difference.

Dylan can vouch for the quality of my AEM filter. Its not as good a quality as what dylans is. His has the wire support going through his, mine has the plastic support on the inside, im not too sure what the difference was between his and mine filter wise though.....

Another couple of questions does anyones filter get wet when washing the car?? If the filter does get wet what should we do?

That reminds me. How'd it go nikich? Hehe. It screams huh. Should scare a few people next time you race someone...

All you need now is a straight through racing pipe instead of the sportivo muffler and you'll be deafening people from here to china lmao.

Btw your car sat very nice.

Mate my hoover makes less of a sucking noise :D :lol: everyday since its been in its been getting louder and louder

Yeah it sat a little lower because apparently the old shocks didnt support the car anymore so it was basically on the stops, i put new shocks in and now it handles better and sits off the stops :)

      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.
