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. ;)

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.

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
