Hey Guys and Girls,

Another fellow Sportivo owner, just found this forum and so far it's great.

My car is an 04 Blue, lowered and will be getting a Shift Performance CAI installed hopefully on the weekend, I am also getting a Muffler installed tomorrow, I want headers but am not convinced that they will improve anything on an already stock motor (Internals)...your thoughts and opinions would be appreciated on this topic.

As for lift, I have heard of Camcon (I think that's what it's called), what kind of improvements will this unit make, I am happy to have it tuned on a dyno provided I know I'll get some results, how soon can we get the cams coming in etc?

Further than that the only other mod is the stereo, I have two MTX Subs and I have Boston Acoustic splits all round.

Looking forward to becoming a familiar frequenter of this forum.

Cheers

George

Welcome to the Forums George,

in regard to headders you have two options TRD (~$1200) and the CES Racing ones (~$500 http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=6692 ) in my opinion and so far im pretty sure im the only to have had both brands on my car the CES ones will make you car alot easier to drive and will give you more low end power then the TRD ones as well as not loosing any power top end.

Also if you are thinking about changing cams then it's not the same scenario as other cars. You will need to also look at replacing valves, retainers,colletts etc etc as the 2zz doesn't like it if you don't. Have seen a few who have changed cams and have had some problems with stretching valve stems and the like due to a change of cam with regards to the profile and also the rev range. It's not worth the risk in the long run as it could end up being an expensive repair bill :(

Welcome to the forum anyway and hope you enjoy your stay!!

Thanks for the warm welcomes, I will try the CES headers, tell me more about the Power FC, I can get one at a reasonable price if it's worthwhille, what would I expect to gain if I was to go for alternate cams, valves etc? Would this also bring lift in sooner again?

Again thanks for the welcomes and info guys.

Welcome :D

Probably your first stop would be looking at a Cold Air Intake. There's quite a number available for the car, Injen, AEM, TRD and CES.

There's also cheaper brands available but I would stick to the main stream ones above. All have shown gains of around 5 or more kw ATW.

hey man, welcome to the forums :D

just thought id throw my 2 cents in as you mentioned you were thinking of picking up a shift performance CAI... go for it man - me and a couple of others have them here, and they are just as good as any other brand, but cheaper... they are a 2 piece, and people will tell you that you lose power in the join. that's not the case. if it was it would be at most .01kw or something ridiculous...

the guys at shift helped me out and they're well priced...

one guy here bought a cheapo US special from ebay and got it here for just over $100 i think and he's holding the 2nd fastest 1zz with just that and a sportivo catback...

as far as im concerned, a CAI is a CAI.. its the filter that you buy that makes the difference... go and get a K&N, or something decent, and you'll get the most out of it...

ok enjoy your stay :P

cheers,

Tom

welcome mate

power fc is probably the best bang for your buck,but would need support mods,and will need tp be modified to fit the corolla,also is the power fc off a celica 2zz? if not it wont work

what's the asking price?

cheers

      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.

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      "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.
