Hey guys got my, Shift Performance Cai installed for a few weeks now, and heres my opinion. The Shift cai is the best mod ive done so far, easy to install, revving smoother, and increase in power esspecially on take off. I Gteched my car, lets says my times are now consistant mid 8s 0 to 60 miles compare to the past when i got high 9s to mid 10's. Im using this CAI with a KNN extreme, and the car sounds like a supercharge, that chrisp wraspy noise and it gets louder through the rev range, it is exactly what im after.

S10 comming soon

Story to be continued.

Cheers guys :lol: :P

I was about to create a new topic, but i guess i might as well ask here. Ive noticed many 1zz owners have the shift CAI. I want to know feedback from people with 2zz who have this CAI, do you give the same positive feedback as 1zz owners. As im aware that the shift CAI is only 60mm compared to the 70mm diamter of the other brands.

Im looking for a CAI atm, and leaning towards the shift CAI as i can get it locally. If i can source a TRD INJEN AEM CAi at a good price i would consider getting them instead. Any help appreciated.

Diameter shouldnt be a problem unless its very small and restrictive. If ur interested you better be quick theres only one left ;)

Man I'm really surprised at that result!!

and you were worried about running 16s down the quarter. Mid 8s usually mean a sub 16 1/4 mile. Still have the exhaust to come as well. Goodluck

Cheers

I just ordered an AEM CAI from eBay - was advertised for 177US +90 delivery, i made a best offer of 135 US +90 postage and won it ($225US is about 295 AU)

stil very very good price for AEM

Mid 8s to 60mph, wow. That is a manual right ? The stock setup must be pretty restrictive to allow for that kind of gain wow.

Hot diggity damn.... =/

So if a manual 1zz had the same mods as you...they'd be as fast as a sportivo ??? o.0 Assuming a 1.5s difference between manual and auto (which seems to be the case with the 1zz's from toyota's data).

Anyways, nice!

Diameter does make a difference to a CAI. 2.5" or 70mm is as big as you would go on a 1zz. Anything bigger will just kill it. 2.5 on a sportivo will work but it kills mid to top end power quite noticably. You may notice it while driving but it's very noticable on a dyno. I tried a CES CAI for a 1zz on my sportivo and it lost nearly 10kw over TRD CAI. Not just peak power but from about 4600rpm onwards.

Oh and yes CES do have CAI for 1zz too. :D

very very very unlikely ..... just check out the 1/4 mile database .... the head design and all the other variables just make the 2zz a much better performance engine .... its not exactly comparing apples with apples the 1zz vs 2zz debate.

Hrmm true, now that i think about the quarter mile timeslips.

Hey DuGong,

I know the gtech accuracy has been debated to hell and back. So please note i'm speaking from my own experiences and my own particular unit. Since i've bought mine, it seems to be very accurate. I always make sure the unit is angled correctly and set correctly and that the road is very very flat and straight.

Some examples of times obtained with my unit-

My 97 auto 4a-fe rolla with mods, 10 flat...high 9's possible but i can't launch it perfectly (very fussy...)

My 97 FTO gpx manual 6.67s

Mates slightly worked 02 wrx 6.14s

Mates slightly worked evo6 6.34s on a slightly wet road

Mates VW auto 4 cyl Bora 10.67s

Mates worked Fiat X1-9, 11.7s

Most of those figures seem pretty accurate methinks.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
