Yeah, I had that problem too. Seems the only solutions are run the really hot air until the windscreen matches the temperature inside the car, or use the A/C on reaaally cold :blink:

i couldnt see a obivous thread about this any else, but there were many areas they got flooded and actually got caught in some flooding (lane cove rd close to epping rd and also hume hwy near lansvale)

just wondering if anyone had a close call and if some of you actually went through the flooded roads with your CAI. also what about the rain in general did anyone check how wet their filter got after a drive in the heavy rain?

I was in Nth Parramatta, yesterday and i had a close call. I was in the backs streets behind Jimmy's kebabs and half the rd was flooded!! I didn't realise how deep it was and went through. As I went through i was like holy sh!t my CAI. But was all good!! :D Was a very close call. My friend had hydrolock once and blew a hole in his engine. :(

Btw. I did check my filter and it was damp. Like when i touched it my hand was wet. But all was good.

good to hear everything is ok with the car, i'm looking for a CAI and wondered how it was in the heavy rain over the past few days as i drive quite abit and i know its quite rare that it does rain this heavy but still it's in the back of my mind even though i dont have a CAI just yet.

My mate had a touch of vapour lock in his S15, thought it would be fun to drive through puddles until he came across one that looked more like a swimming pool.... thankfully no engine damage, just a car stranded for 2 days until he could get back out there and fix it....

I laughed :lol:

      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.
