I was going to purchase a SRI recently but opted not to due to insurance reasons. Anyways besides that, I decided to get some ducting pipe and attach it to the airbox. I already have a K&N panel filter, so this was the next best thing i could do. I ducted the pipe down into the foggies.

I must say, this is an awesome and CHEAP MOD. The car is sucking cooler air nows compared to the engine compartment. OMG when u hit lift sounds like a CAI. Same sound as all my friends hondas when they are VTEC N with intakes hahaha :P . I should have done this ages ago, plus it looks stock as still.

Performance increase, yes from my butt dyno :P . Car is way more responsive now after every gear change. The sound :D I cant get enough of it, now I undersatnd all you CAI boys and girls

here are some pics

Some may ask where i got the piping. From purple pig, it $20/m. Its heat resistant and doesnt crumble under pressure. 63mm. Just ask them, they recommend them for CAI.

Well basically I pulled out the stock air inlet. And replaced the whole thing with the piping feed into the foglight. I copied what a member here did. These are his pics.

Looking at my engine bay I seem to have a white container of some sort that looks like its connected to the air intake pipe.

Did you have that in your Sportivo? Did you take that one out as well?

Yeah the 1ZZ have a resonator box. You can take that out as well as most honda boys do that. As far as i know the 2ZZ dont have resonator box. Just take it out and duct the pipe in.

I really recommend this mod to others who dont want a CAI or dont want to fork out $300-400. For $20 its a worth while mod, Im sure a dedicated AEM INJEN or TRD CAI works more efficient but this is the next best thing.

BANG FOR BUCK

here you go grima88

DIY intake

Its up to you if you want to take it out, I know the resonator is there to reduce noise and such.

Great mod for the $$$$$ - was almost goin to buy a TRD CAI but think I'll give this a go first

I reckon upgrading the filter from factory might also increase the air flow and donk-ability.....hmmm

      Android auto

      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.

      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.
