Hey everyone,

I'm keen to find out if there any known issues with the Levin. (eg) it has a different box to the stivo so does that mean the issues that i'm hearing about the box in the stivo won't affect the box in the levin?

cheers

There are no know issues liek that of the stivo with the 05 levin.

The 5 speed is very forgiving unlike the sportivo clutch and gearbox.

The only problem with the 05 is that its ust not as quick as the 02 - 04 :P

No actually he isnt joking cos if your car was built in October 2005 or later then its engine was detuned from 100Kw and 171Nm to 93kW and 161Nm in order to meet the stringent Euro IV gas emissions restrictions.

Theoretically accent should be quicker than Levins.

Simply because less weight. No ABS, No Driver Air bag, No body kit.

But actual results have shown otherwise. The Levin owners seem to be quicker. :blink:

So I'd say it must come down to the driver.

What you guys think

so even tho the books say 100kW it's actually only 93kW?

Haven't had any issues with my Levin so far. It's kind of annoying in a way because I can't think of anything to say on service days when they ask me if anything is wrong with the car :lol:

Which book are you reading from? Just check your build/compliance plate or whatever its called (on the passenger side of your firewall underneath the bonnet) and if it sais October 2005 (or any other later models) then its detuned. But as SyxXPaC said its only a matter of changing the intake and exhaust. This is beacause for the detune they only changed the throttle system (to an electric system) and the catalytic converter. Check out this (after doing a quick search):

Yes but an electric throttle will never be as good for acing as a old skool type

Sorry to steer right of topic but what is the difference between how the throttle systems work I'm assuming the new electronic one operates through electronically calculating the movement of the accelerator and transfering this to the throttlebody but how do the old systems work? Is it hydrolic?

      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.
