MInes been rolling back from day one i got the car. Its been tightend couple of times, still same issue.

Interesting

sounds good !

but the camera quality is hiding everything !

it is hard to hear a clear note of the exhaust. hope to see the dyno video and results!

Nice vid! If you could get one from outside from startup and as noted above a drive by. Can't wait to see more!

Cant wait to see the video and dyno results!

Hi all,

I am currently living in sydney and just wanted to know if anyone out there knows any performance shops that flash tune trd aurions in the sydney region.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

try calling these guys http://www.tunehouse.com.au/

never been there but i did remember talking to them a while back. i just never got around to taking the car down. (due to finances)

understood, just wasnt clear on what exactly they were trying to do.

cheers

I came across a thread on the net (please see below), can anyone tell me what it is they are trying to do?

cheers

"a yella terra style water 2 air intercooler would work, need to contact them, they would make something up (unless they already have on on the cars).

the bypass actuator is the black domey thing on the side of the blower. it looks the same as my eaton m90 actuator.

underside showing where the bypass throttle is

so if u take a look at these pictures, the boost actuator has a vacuum line from the top of it, and the bottom runs to the boost solenoid (which will electronically cut boost) and then back to the boost 'tree' which is vacuum from the manifold.

the picture shows the top of the actuator going before the blower for vacuum. try run this to the manifold instead.

then the bottom of the boost actuator, run the line straight to atmosphere (bit of pantyhose on it).

so that should make the bypass snap on and off much faster.

what i did, i then blocked off the charger inlet to top of boost actuator feed with a bolt and cable tie.

So assuming yours is set up the same: (that said it might have response issues due to fly by wire throttle)....

do this:

1. route top of actuator to manifold (or in my case, to top of the boost tree which is the black little tower with 2 vac lines coming off it, replacing the line that goes to the solenoid with one going straight to the actuator at the top) i have pointed to this in the picture below

2. bottom of actuator to atmosphere (not pictured)

3. block the blower intake feed (ie where you took the line off in step 1, block this nipple with a bit of hose, a bolt and cable ties)

4. if it has a boost solenoid, disconnect the hoses as i said, but leave it plugged in, otherwise you will probably get an error code.

hope this helps (if i had some better pics of it or you were in melb over s.e side i would help u out)."

Black trd Aurion SL with stock plates. Gave the thumbs up as you turned from Carlisle ave to great western hwy. Anyone here?

Hi LeonG -

i got the same issue as well - most recently, it even had a service as well. It occurred even more often now, as this time round I took it to another place for a 90k km service and i believe they used a different type of oil (makes a difference..?)

Anyways, there's talk about it in the kluger forums - i've tried the technique Rice Racing posted up and it actually works

Ive tried holding the revs at 2k for a second or two just before I turn the car off, unfortunately the sound still there. Ahhh

Same as well. I just find an oil and filter change makes the issue go away. It always happens pretty much at the same time for me (~11,000km) so I just see it as a sign that the oil and filter need to be changed if I haven't done so already. I don't see the point in trying to just prevent the issue with that procedure above when the oil is at the point where it should be changed anyways.

Your lucky your one happens around 11k after an oil change. I've done 3k since my last oil change.

i have a griding noise at startup, although mine isnt during any cold start up. my engine start noise usually takes place when the car has already warmed up and sits for an hour or so and i turn it on.

yeah i came across them ones, it seems to be missing that little something unlike the one for the aurion or hilux. :(

thanks anyway!!

I'm after a red leather genuine trd gear knob for the aurion. I've searched eBay and they've all seemed to have disappeared. I'm after the real one that I think are on the 3500sl.

Thanks in advance!

As long is it goes off the system is working just fine.

sweet, thanks man!

When I start the engine the lights on the dash go on and then go off once the engine has started. I've recently noticed that the airbag light stays on longer around 4 or so seconds after the other lights turn off then it just turns off. Just wondering is this normal?

Just saw something on the news about Camry/Aurion recall for 2011-2012 models. Something to do with the fuel hose.

Lol yeah last Thursday! You parked on the roof? I also went to watch batman, yeah I live around the area. Nah mines red 3500s.

I saw a nice white aurion at blacktown on a Thursday night like 2 weeks ago, looked similar to yours.

Nice car!! Are you in syd?
