DJ ViP!

thanx a million! Will check it out!!!

Guys I have searched but I only found 2004 corolla manual works!!!

That manual only covers the 1zzge engine only!!!

I beleive that the corolla_iso file is the best for the 2zzge!!! please could some one rehost the manual or provide link to the 2zzge manual (zze123)

Thanks

Guys! Please can someone explain What is CLOSED LOOP MODE and OPEN LOOP MODE ???

Thanx

Headers yes

Exhaust yes

CAI yes

Works on both old and new models. :D

OK! thanx!

But where lies the performance differences between the Old spec an New spec! And which is faster?

Im from SA!! And the factory is definately not closed!!! Its the third largest TOYOTA plant in the world!!

So they aint gonna just close down bru! Japan 1, Usa 2, SA 3

My cousin and his wife works in the plant!! He works in the Hospital!!! Thats were they do major repairs! like Engine replacement, gearbox problems!! on brand new cabbies!!

About the standard! Dnt think its low!! eg. Coz my cousin says that if there is a small scratch on the windscreen, u and me wont even notice! They crush the windscreen and fit a new one!! Even a headlight or bumper for that matter!! a small mark on the headlight and it gets crushed!! If the colour is slightly off on the bumpers then respray till its rite! no gaps must be there too!

And btw!! The inspectors and quality managers are mainly japanese!!!! Ofcourse there are south africa managers!! But the main/chief quality inspectors are all japanese!!!

Hey guys=

I have the old spec RunX rsi!! what are the differences between old and new runx rsi/corolla sportivo?

what works on old spec Sportivo ? headers? YES oR NO

exhaust ?

CAI?

Sorri for the Bold text guys!!!

Gonna fit the CAI back on my car this weekend and do the ECU RESET properly!! Lets hope it makes a diffence!!! Either than the CAI, my car is stock standard!! I was thinking that maybe the CAI is only really effective with a good performance exhaust ( 2 BOX mandrel bent 63mm )!!

Care to comment!! Any one with just the CAI done only!!

I HAVE A CUSTOM BUILT REPLICA OF THE CES INTAKE!!

76mm STAINLESS STEEL BANDREL BENDS!! AND A SIMOTA DUAL CONE FILTER!!

I HAD THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED FOR an HOUR!!! SO I ASSUME THATS HOW U RESET THE ECU!!! OR AM I WRONG!!

ALSO MAYBE I DIDNT BLOCK THE VACUUM PIPING PROPERLY!!!

GONNA CHECK THE HOW TO SECTION FOR CAI!!!!

WILL GO FOR A SPIN IN NAUGHTYS CAR FIRST AND SEE WHETHER ITS WORTH IT!!!! MY CAI IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO HIS!!!!

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!!

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 )!!!

Any one with similar probrem????

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

THIS IS IN SOUTH AFRICA!! NOT SURE IF IT APPLYS TO U GUYS

Sumbody is being a "NAUGHTY" boy!!! :D :D

I know one thing for sure!! And that is with the DASTEK UNICHIP if tuned properly!! Fuel Economy will be genuine and 1/4 mile times should get better!!!!

there's SFA "R&D" in a CAI. 3" tube with a few bends and a couple of brackets... it's not rocket science.

I'll send you pics and the MAF placement measurement to get one made, I'll also send through some pics of the MAF airflow straightener you can get the guys to fabricate and weld in to ensure you dont have a "faulty MAF" with 3" tube.

If you can get 2.75" tube from the throttle body to the MAF, and continue along about 50mm in front of the maf, and then expand the tube out to 3" and continue with 3" tube to the pod filter you will have a CAI that performs very well, with no need for a silicon reducer at the throttle body. Can just use a section of 2.75" hose to join it.

Please post sum pics!!! That would be a great help!!!! I gonna call the guy whose doing the CAI and tell him to try and use 2.75" pipe!!! Thanks

IF I IMPORT A TRD INTAKE FROM THE USA IT WILL COST R2500, CUSTOM MADE R600!! BIG DIFFERENCE!!

THATS IN SOUTH AFRICA WERE I AM!!

That equates to ~$430AUD to import a TRD CAI, or ~$100AUD to get a custom item made in stainless.

The logical choice is pretty clear.

trd cai??

LOL

jk jk i'd say dw bout the hassle and just import it in with that extra cash u will feel much better having a brand name in ur car ;) lol and trd cai is better i'd say cuz most of the guys have a trd cai and injen

MY 2 C E N T S

MY MAIN CONCERN IS?? IS IT WORTH IT??? DONT WANT TO SPEND A FORTUNE A ONLY GAIN TO 1-2 KWs!!!

OKAY!!

SO THE TRD CAI is approx. 70mm and is made of Aluminuim

AND THE CES CAI is aprox. 76mm and is made of stainless steel with aluminium Ceramic coat paint!!

BETWEEN THE TRD AND CES CAI WHICH IS BETTER AND WHAT WERE THE GAINS ON THE CES CAI!!

If I got the guys to do mandrel bends on I pipe then it would cost me a fortune!! So the guys are gonna buy mandrels bends and piece them up!! I have a sample made up. So I gave the guys to make a duplicate of that! The sample is made up 76mm stainless steel and in ceramic coated!!

IF I IMPORT A TRD INTAKE FROM THE USA IT WILL COST R2500, CUSTOM MADE R600!! BIG DIFFERENCE!!

THATS IN SOUTH AFRICA WERE I AM!!

IS THE CES CAI WORTH IT GUYS???? THEN I WILL KNOW WHETHER TO CUSTOME MAKE MINE!!!!

Howzit guys!!

Just need sum input from u guys!!!

I'm getting a CAI made up for my RunX Rsi (Sportivo)!!!

I'm getting it made out of 76mm stainless steel pipe?? What ull think?? Steel or aluminuim???

What is the TRD and AEM ones made of ????

Im Very interested in getting one!!! only problem is im in South Africa!!!

Also is the trd intake made of stainless steel or aluminium????

DID IT THRU MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AT A TOP TOYOTA MECH!!( RMI APPROVED )

COST CAME TO R3000! I PAID HALF (R1500) AND WARRANTY COVERED HALF AS IT WAS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM!!!

any of those shocks mentioned whuld be fine. They should be revalved to fit when installed.

Konis would be the preference though.

REVALVED??? What is revalved? How do you that? And who does that?? Cost???

Guys I had a problem with engaging and disengaging of gears during normal driving! I have to leave the clutch and press again for a gear to take and that was at 2500-3000 RPM!! :(

Also to get gears in lift was almost impossible!!!

I thought the gearbox was damaged BUT i put and original TOYOTA CLUTCH KIT and skimmed the flywheel slightly!! AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!

To get gears in lift is no problem now and the gears are much smoother!! Man wat a difference!!!

I suggest any performance clutch kit or original toyota but dont put any aftermarket replacement stuff!!! you will definately regret it!!!

LOOKS LIKE EIBACH IS THE BEST CHOICE WITH REGARDS TO SPRING ONLY KIT!!!

AND I THOUGHT TOYOTA BEING JAPANESE THAT TEIN WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION BUT.....

BLUE STIVO - so you suggest that if TEIN STECH was installed then best bet would be to change shocks too. BUT wat shocks AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT SHOCKS (KYB, GABRIEL GASRYDERS) or SHORTENED SHOCKS ( KONI )!!!???

for the live of your shocks I'd say Eibach

I had Tein S-Tech before and they are great gut you need shocks to match, the stock ones become too bouncy real fast.

So wat youre say is that I need to put SHORTEN SHOCKS (KONI) or REPLACEMENT AFTERMARKET SHOCKS (GABRIEL GASRYDERS OR KYB)???

I was under the impression that the TEIN STECH would be fine on standard shocks!!!

????????

Hi Guys!!

Had a look at the SUSPENSION section in the ALREADY COVERED ISSUES by Northy but the outcome was that COIL OVERS was the best option!

Not all of us can afford to buy COIL OVERS! So wit that said!

What would be the best option between the 3 SPRING KITS BELOW :

(Considering the fact that the original shocks are gonna be used?

1. Eibach ( approx. 30mm )

2. Koni ( approx. 35mm )

3. Tein ( Front-50mm Rear-35mm )

Thanks again!!

Guys im looking for a service / repair manual for the 2003 corolla/sportivo/runx

The link in workshop submissions by Northy to rollamods doesnt work anymore!!!

please help out !!!

what country are u in?

In Oz, the earliest model Sportivo's (ie like 1st half of 03 only) has much larger headers that the late 03, 04 and 05 models.

apart from that, there has been no changes to the sportivo in regards to exhaust work.

Im not too sure about overseas though

I'm from South Africa! I have the first spec Rsi/Sportivo!!

So is the new spec or old spec headers better for performance???

well, the old ones obviously because they are larger

OK COOL!!! NOW IM SMILING :)

THANX FOR THE INFO!!

IM GONNA DO A 63mm 2 BOX EXHAUST SYSTEM ONLY THEN!!!
