This is my 2002 Camry Sportivo V6 (MCV36R). Given to me by my brother unmodded besides the roof/bike racks, sunroof and the reverse sensors. I got my first mod late March 2009/Early April 2009 which

thanks for the comments (probably wouldn't lower it though)! I'd probably upgrade the headunit soon + possibly add a TRD supercharger to it later on. Paint detailing/possible repaint isn't out of the

Brace is finished and put in.

She is pretty stiff, but haven't given her a good run in so I can't compare it to the UR brace. Definitely stiffer than the stock brace. I suspect it won't be as stiff as the UR brace due to the extra height providing a greater moment arm.

Looking good there Andrew. Getting so close now.

Out of curiosity by the way, from the moment you dropped your car off to CES, how long did they need to keep your car to get the intake done? A day... or more than a day?

Yeah man, getting excited. Just ordered the last of the parts required for the install. A few gaskets and things.

CES took the car for the day but due to the MAF issue, I had to take it back (as I initially rejected the offer to insert the reducer). Apparently it took them 2.5-3hrs.

Just did a quick video to show the induction noise before the charger goes on, it's a shame I'm going to lose it. Oh well, being whiney is much better than having a whine about it.

Oh, 0-100 approx 7.84seconds. Still too slow.

Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!

Can't wait for the update with the S/C hehehe.

You put the airbox back in... why?

As for the S/C Update? You're not the only one who can't wait. The funny thing is though I am excited, but it's more of a feeling of just getting it out of the way. The whole saga took way too long.

I don't know if the I4 and V6 share the same transmission or not, but I can comment on the TWM Shifter though.

With the bush kit ($19.95 when bought with the shifter) the short shifter kit is an excellent buy and reduces the throw by a fair margin (apparently 30%). With a weighted knob as well, shifting at speed is not an issue. Stiff and smooth.

Bah, can't sleep in anticipation of the Stage 1 install. Going to be a long 3 days I think. 2 days to install, 1 day of lots of driving.

on the TWM website it doesn't say anything about what motor so it might fit were did you get yours from and how much

oh and do you know if the standard gear knob fits?

Further communication in PM.

Stage 1 of the supercharger install is complete. Biggest issue of the day was the bleeding of the new brake setup, the clutch just did not want to do what it should have done. Used an extra 500ml just getting it right.

Everything is ready for tomorrow however.

She's in!

Big thanks to SupaTouring (Dave) who did all the work for the install (plus 99% of the research as well).

The install was split over 2 days and things didn't quite go to plan (being the first time we've seen a Gen 5 with the supercharger install + Dave only having experience with the Gen 4's and me with... nothing). All the gear minus the strut brace (which I'll put on tomorrow when I do an oil change) and the boost controller have been installed.

After abit of cursing and abit of shopping around (and a close call) we were able to get the majority of the work tonight around 8.15pm.

DRIVING:

I've done about 150km already (80km when I accidently went to Beaudesert...) and I am incredibly impressed with the extra power I have. As warned by Anthony and Dave, launching @ anything more than 2000-2100RPM resulted in wheelspin but When I got it right the pickup was excellent. I didn't go past 5200RPM as I don't have the boost controller in yet, I've been told from 5200-6200RPM I'll see even further (noticeable) power gains. Boost controller goes in on Monday so I am pretty keen to see how much better things get in the higher ranges. Engine response is great.

Supercharger whine is also nice as well. Got plenty of looks as I whined my way around and home, it was pretty sweet. Ninja camry.

I can't think of anything I should be talking about, but I'm a little tired + excited so it's confusing...!

Wicked mate. I'm really excited as well about all this. Can't wait to see it running and to hear that sweet whine that I am unfortunately missing.

... and we had to do a ghetto mod. We are using a nylon barb that we forced into a socket which gave us enough room to put the charger down.

Well at least there was a Plan B already prepared just in case :lol:

Supercharger whine is one of those things that you certainly notice more than a turbo blow off. It's just that unique.

I think I am heading out to the spit tomorrow as my friend (who owns a MY00 WRX) is down there for her birthday. Just waiting for her to see where she wants to meet up.

Anthony, you'd better not tempt me. Knowing my luck you'll make me push things too hard and I'll damage the engine...!

Lol make sure you drive sedately in there. Dont want any po po attention. But in saying that, they probably wouldnt even notice the s/c there. Watch your fuel gauge drop rapidly as the whine addiction occurs :P

I've been told from 5200-6200RPM I'll see even further (noticeable) power gains.

Yup power band is a straight line up all the way to fuel cut, doesnt plateau out at high rpm. And torque is 1 flat straight line :)

Evil thoughts? Evil thoughts would only be evil if you are thinking Turbo... wink.gif. Big props to Dave indeed. He was considering starting his own bush mechanics type setup "Bodge and Bodgier" I believe the coined term was.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
