    Air intake mods

    in Aurion / TRD Aurion Club

    Posted

    Just like you said, all I did was swap the vacuum hoses around so that the upper intake valve stays open and blocked off the lower resonator. I actually blocked off the resonator and did not remove it. I used a small section of thick plastic sheet (like the stuff used in ponds and whatnot) and attached it in such a way that it blocks off the connection between the intake tube and lower resonator. I figured there is no point taking it out of the engine bay when i can simply just block it off. I failed to take photos during the process, so sorry I couldn't help there.

    However, there is a nice guide written up over at the Toyota Nation forum, so I guess that saves on the extra writeup:

    'as promissed.. Lower Intake Resonator removal DIY'

    I was considering putting on an intake such as a Fujita intake, but that is purely because I love the sound of it. My old Camry had a pod filter on it, and man it sounded so much better when you opened it up. Here is a clip of a Fujita intake on a Gen6 Camry:

    In that respect, a change of intake is only just going to give you a better note and looks, which for most people, is what they are after.

    For anyone wishing to open their upper intake path all the time, just connect the valve directly to the vacuum line. I left the pipe attached to the switching valve on the left because it not only prevents the insides of the switch getting dirty, but it lets me change it back to normal without having to find some spare tube. There is probably no real advantage to doing this except for increasing intake noise. Those that say it increases throttle response are probably imagining it. The way I see it, it's just another path to let air get to the filter, so opening it would be of no harm.

    HI Guys

    Urgently need your help. I have lost my spare key for my 2008 aurion

    Can i buy a transponder key on ebay and programming using the below method

    Procedure to program new master key;

    Hop in the car, close door. Insert existing master key into ignition barrel (don't turn) and remove again, repeat this 4 times (ie: in>out>in>out>in>out>in>out>in). Leave the key in the barrel and open/close the driver's door 6 times. Remove the key, insert the new key to be programmed and leave it there for at least 60 seconds. And that's it.

    just got my steering shaft replacement under warranty at no cost. no more knocking sound

    Straiv - how quick did you get it replaced? You posted yesterday that you have the problem and fixed it today? I have dealer warranty from Jefferson Ford as Factory warranty expired 29th of July, if they diagnose a problem what's the chances of getting this fixed for free? Thanks

    i just call them that i am coming down the next day as my steering wheel have knocking sound. 930am sent my car 1230pm i got it back.
