Hey..my friend must of done one of the clamps up to tight on the hose when i installed the CAI..

this morning i opened my bonnet up and realised there was a crack in the black hose where the clamp is...

i untightened the screw to release some of the pressure on it and drove the car to work like a pussy to reduce vibration...

the hose has yet to get a hole in it but it will get one eventually...

can someone tell me where i can get a replacement hose ASAP to replace the one on it right now before it goes completely....???

Do i ring up Castle Hill toyota and see if they got it??

Would wrapping some duct tape around it for now to support it be useful???

and how thick is the hose...i didnt measure it lol :unsure:

It's one of those elbow join rubber hoses isn't it? They are prone to cracking man. See if a rubber joiner like the Injen one will fit on your TRD one. They are really good man.

I'll find a pic, two secs.

That'll show you the difference. Finding something like this ASAP can be hard. Contant bb's garage and ask them about that joiner shown there man.

As for replacing it with something? Go to a hose fitting shop maybe and see if you can find something THICKER to replace it for the time being. Other than that, you may have to put the stock airbox back on until the problem is fixed. That might be the safer way.

Danz is also good with DIY problems with this stuff. PM him also man.

I'm going to have to find a way to repay him speaking of which, he's helped me so much.

The trd intake pipe is 2.75" or 70 mm.

GO to super cheap and get 2 clamps and they have intercooler piping connectors.Get the one with 70mm Internal diamature and you'll be right. I brought it from super cheap for $9.99 plus clamps ( which you could use the trd ones)

Thanks for the help....

i think the injen rubber is to short and it will need to raise the CAI by about 5 cms...

Ill check it out...hopefully it will last till the weekend..

Do you reckon if i ring a hose place they can make a custom one up for me???

You don't need a custom one, anyold silicon joiner will be fine, super cheap or autobarn will sell what you need.

I have some black windscreen silicone at home...reckon that will do???

not really... just get the 3" to 2.75" elbow from Supercheap, Repco, Autobarn etc... or try Rocket Industries if you cannot find the right size anywhere else.

Then take the faulty part back to Toyota and ask them to get a replacement... this has happened before the Bruce relaced them out of kindness, but since he no longer supplies TRD stuff I don't know...

Good old TRD intakes... never heard of any problems from AEM or Injen :rolleyes:

Injen one won't fit and you'll be really lucky if Supercheap or Autobarn have a 3" to 2.75" bend of the right radius to fit properly without resorting to overtightening clamps to get it to seal and fit properly. I've been down this road and your best bet is to contact TRD sales to get a new one or try a hose/hyraulic line shop to see if they have something. TRD rubber elbow is very unique in it's shape and I've been unable to get anything exactly the same.

In the meantime remove it and wrap it in 100mph tape then put it back on and don't do the clamps up so tight. ;)

the trouble with those Bill is that the TRD intake requires a 45 degree bend in the silicon joiner. This is usually the part that splits too from stress.

Im sure there is some sort of replacement!

You can even try a plumbing shop and see what rubber pipes they have!

problem is they may not be able to stand up to the throttle body temperatures and degrade

there is nothing wrong with the TRD intakes, when the split it seems to have been caused because the hose clamps have been over tightened. The TRD CAI on my old 1zz is still going strong after 50,000km of driving with no issues, in saying this the replacement bend that i received for my 2zz was of better quality IMO then the original one that was supplied.

      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.
