What would the cooling panel do for say an Auto 1ZZ-FE? does the fitting differ from Sedan to Hatchback aswell?

the front end chassis is the same for sedan/hatch/wagon. cooling panels are designed to focus air flow from the front grill onto the radiator. typically made of alumunium and installation is just bolts.

It just gives the engine better cooling because (a little) more air is going into the radiator.

Facelift panels are in the pipeline and should be available in the new year.

Any additional cooler air blowing onto the radiator is going to benifit the overall response of the car. Is it going to give you kW at the wheels....I doubt it....will it help your car stay at a relatively good operational temparture...yes...

As mentioned, it will fit on any prefacelift Ascent/Conquest/Ultima.Levin/Sportivo hatch/wagon or sedan.....

just not facelift....

It also adds a little bling to your engine bay :yahoo:

yes the DIY is flat metal... and thats how i was going to do it if it was DIY...

BUT... if you people only check the PICS in the GROUP BUY thread, you will see that the cooling panel has been bent into shape! lookz better than a flat piece of home made tin that we could knock up!

Have a look at this picture....

If you can make those folds and cut that shape using your tools at home (or in your workshop if you have facilities) then knock yourself out...

I'll never say no to a good old fashion DIY session, however after holding one of these things in my hand, and seeing them up close, I can tell you that there is no way on this earth, I would have the ability of making one of these up (and I consider myself a fairly good handyman/DIYer)

For the messing around involved, I'd say it would be much simpler and easier to get onto the group buy at $80 or whatever it is....

cooling pannel does jack ****.. all it does is pretty up the engine bay , i've got both underbody and radiator one.. clearly theres no difference.. its not going to affect your engine temp considering air is being pushed in at the same rate when driving..

When the idea behind the panel is to assist with airflow to the radiator, not the intake, I don't think it would make too much difference whether you have a CAI, SRI or the convaluted peice of polypipe called a stock intake, its assisting with keeping the radiator temperature cooler...

If used in conjunction with a sports grill (ie the TRD or Sportivo Accessory grill) then you will find that this is when you get optimum use out of it.

I can't see any benifit provided if most of your driving is to and from footy practice, but certainly at higher speeds on track days and drags you should find the car feeling free-er to drive....

Thanks Azza for clearing that up

But wont it assist in cooling the engine bay a little ? I guess thats the only reason why I would be interested.

I cant believe the panels can isolate the cooling to the radiator only with out cooling other parts.

But I dunno **** about it.

The panel itself assists with the direction of the airflow so when the air travels in through the grill, thee panel helps not let it flow upwards and over the radiator, rather down onto it...

The underbody panel IMO helps in 2 ways, one is that it acts like a giant ice brick. It is a large peice of metal getting cool air from under the car, therefore helping keep cool air under the engine. I also understand that it helps with air direction as well.

I myself cant see how it directs too much air though (the undercar one). Last year I helped Danthuyer fit his, and there wasnt much opening at the front of it....

Certainly the top panel will help though....

That too i guess - The under body panel would also improve handling at high speeds as teh turbulent air underneith the car is actually being directed and kept under control ... i think

:toast: ...What do u think Danz?

      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.
