Hey pplz i thought i would share what i spoke to my fellow silver members about a few weeks ago before i started installation of my mods for the 1zz Levin

Hey fellow silverz,

I thought id tell you all whats happening with my car as i am so excited i cant keep it in anymore

I dropped my car off yesterday after receiving my last major package from japan yesterday morning and it is now having all of the parts installed

So far in the car is

Injen CAI for an american corolla S

TRD short shifter

Cusco front tower brace

hurricane headers

high flow cat + little metal flex

sportivo cat back exhaust(from blue stivo's car)

weapon r billet throttle rotor

prr sports clutch

now for the things that are going into the car for the next few days

HANDLING:-

- Cusco Zero-2 Coilovers

- TRD tower bar Rear

- C-one rear stabilizer bar

- TRD sports thermostat

POWER:-

- Unorthodox racing lightweight standard diamater Alternator pulley

- Motowerkz lightweight standard diamater Crank pulley

- Fidanza flywheel

- Denso Iridium spark plugs

- Apexi power fc + FC commander

i forgot to buy a grounding kit im sure it wont make a huge difference but it will add some sort of gain so i will have to order that today

But yea its a nice list of christmas presents ehehe ill probably have the car back on friday or something so it when i do i will take some nice piccies of the car and all the parts installed otay

:spiteful::yahoo: go team 1zz hehe :lol:

Now since then i have the car back with everything installed except the

- Fidanza flywheel - wouldnt fit to big??

- U.R. Lightweight standard diamater Alternator pulley - couldnt fit still have to speak to UR about this

- grounding kit - still havent bought it

- racing cooling panel - package was lost in the mail

Except for those everything else is installed, thought i might inform the other fellow TOCA members that arent YET silver members about my lil 1zz project hehe

Ohh ive been to lazy to post the power gains but its

from 87kw At the wheels

to 98kw At the wheels

and as torque is never right as we all know so i will just say

85Nm gain of torque

So a big increase in torque you can REALLY feel it

Ill take photos this weekend of the car at the meet in Terrigal and i will post the dyno on monday

:spiteful: now i guess its time to hit the strip :toast: :P

Nice work my man go the 1ZZ's

But I wouldnt hav bothered with the rear strut as only the all wheel drive jap versions can bear the benefits (as these have McPherson struts at the rear which the front wheel drives don't)... (quote from whiteline email):

Hi Jared,

Thank you for your email.

We used strut braces as a means of increasing chassis rigidity on vehicles with a McPherson strut suspension layout, where the strut is a load bearing member and its upper chassis mount not only resists and supports vertical loads but also lateral and longitudinal loads. The vehicle you are inquiring about does not have a McPherson strut in the rear, therefore we is it not suitable for us to develop a strut brace for.

I hope that this explains your question.

Ok now i dont know if you have a rear strut brace but if you ask anyone who races their car on the track or likes twisties they will tell you that the car handles alot better with a rear strut brace.

I dont think that TRD would make a rear strut for FF cars if they didnt think they made any difference. :blink: i have seen rear strut braces on alot of FF cars on the track and street so i dunno whiteline are on crack or they just dont think their is a big market in FF rear strut braces and gave you that excuse to sound smart ;)

Who knows :unsure:

The cars that have rear strut braces offered have independant rear end setups where the suspension is supported by the actual strut, ie the rear hub bolts to the actual strut, not to a torsion beam. Whiteline are exactly right with their info above.

However in saying that, having the rear strut bar can assist with rigidity as by installing it, you are therfore creating a solid square/rectangle shape as opposed to a not so supported 'U' shape.

At the end of the day though, most modifications, although as minor as some are, will all assist n some small way.

A rear strut bar may not be too effective if you are still running standard spring/shock setup, however if you are doing a decent spring/shock setup or coilover mod, then the rear will always help in a minor way...

      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.
