Best thing about a CAI is when you downshift and get a nice SHHHH sound. NA blow off valve FTW :clap::clap:

Yup, i have been asked if the care is turbo'd or supercharged :D

How i wish.

Yes, it goes softer after a couple of weeks and even softer after a couple of months. But when in lift, it still sounds loud. :o

Hahaha I noitced this too. I'm also a 1ZZer, but I think you just get used to it. You know when there's a smell in the room and after a few mins of smelling it you just get used to it and forget about it? I think it's the same thing. When I took my intake snorkel off the noise was so obvious to me for about a week, then I just got used to it. Same deal with the CAI to a lesser extent - you can still hear it but only if you're deliberately listening. Notice when somebody else gets in your car and you take it to 6000RPM they go "Woah, WTF!", and you're just like "Damn right B) "

I dunno maybe it actually does get softer... But I doubt it.

2ZZ drivers will never get used to it 'cos it sounds like a trumpet above 7000RPM :lol:

P.S. Dude make a Members Ride, your car looks tidy-as in your avatar

I believe the CAI is louder then the SRI....but then again my experience was with a CAI fitted to my Conquest.....whereas my SRI was fitted to my Sportivo until you hit lift :lol:

the reason there is a difference in the sound an intake makes in relation to the air temp is simple...

when the air is cooler the engine will take in more air at a time, a greater volume, it makes more noise passing through the pod...when it is hotter there is not such a great quantity of air being ingested by the pod, hence less noise. :)

mmm startup on winter morning on idle...sounds like a vacuum cleaner :P

i notice not just people with pod but also people with stock air box

Damn I love that crisp feeling driving when It's cold. We had a cool snap tonight in Canberra while I was at work and it was so much fun to drive home. So much intake noise and so much more power... Summer is evil.

I'm hunting stock S'tivos this winter :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

I Also fitted my CAI to my 2ZZ!!

At first it was freaken LOUD!! In LIFT! It was like a Vicious Dog Bark!!

Its got a bit softer nw tho!!! but definately still far louder than stock air box!!

I feel as the CONE FILTER COLLECTS DUST/DIRT its gets softer!! ( Thats what I experienced on my CAIon my old car)

However I feel the the original air box and filter gaves me better performance!!!

Also with the CAI, U got to warm the car up before u can drive!! (Very irritating considering the fact that Im on the road the whole day) Also the car battles at 1000 - 2000RPM and has a FLAT SPOT AT BOUT 4500-6000RPM ( Around there )!!!

SRI yes taking in engine bay air

BUT

i have afeed from the grill and i notice a huge difference when i have the feed apose to not having the air feed, i think the only difference between SRi and CAi is that SRi has more punch then the CAI

but the CAI has better top end power :ph34r:

correct me if im wrong but i have bever dynoed my car so who knows

i wanna buy a CAI and test out the diff. when i can be bothered and have money but winter is coming so i dont think there is much difference between the 2

each to their own whether your using a SRI setup or CAI setup....SRI has superior throttle response, but for everyday driving most people will be happy with the CAI cause they can then have more power....Also with a SRI I don't think mine was designed properly, the length and ID of the intake pipe makes a difference to power production if most people don't know.

Our UK brothers/sisters on TOC swear by the K&N Typhoon SRI kit....

But this topic of SRI Vs CAI is boring.....

      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.
