Yeah it's playing on the mind, what is already a fast car would make it? who knows?

An update from Meridian MotorSports in relation to the radiator and temp gauge.

"I have had a good look at the wiring diagram (Note: USA/Canada specification diagram) supplied and have identified the following –

The Temp gauge receives its signal from the ECU via a 2 wire CAN-Bus via pins B8 & B19

The Radiator fan On/Off activation is controlled by the ECU via pins D6 & D7.

So what does this mean?

If the wiring diagram is applicable to our (Aust spec) car, then -

The Apexi unit in its current specification can not operate the factory temp gauge. There is no easy (cheap) work around if you want to have the factory engine temp gauge functioning. The most cost effective solution is to fit a nice modern separate gauge in single slim line or minimal gauge holder/pod.

The radiator fan activation can be solved by either a change in the wiring configuration with a connector that is connected one way for the OEM ECU and another way for the Apexi, or by fitting a separate thermo fan switch.

In my opinion, the Apexi is the most cost effective tuning solution for the 1zz and 2zz engines as it can control all the critical engine parameters that most of the other systems (except MoTeC) can not. "

Someone's always thinking about food :)

Who cares :)

Peekay got his Honda back, with exhaust, ecu tuning, etc, and might come. Exhaust is still a temporary prototype....his car was dynoed at 145kw ATW on a hub style dyno. Should be good if he can make it.

Yeah im still down for this Mofos :0. I might pak the fishing gear and depart at lorn to try ang get some squid...the F@@@@@S are $23 bux a kilo at the vic market, fark that.

I reackon those plates are bodgy. I thought in Vic you cant have a number, a letter than a number again, they have to be in sequence numbers followed by letters or vice versa.

Cool...its a toyota owners club bro, of course youre welcome :)

Im in...Confirmed.

Im on stock tyres, no way.

You should have asked for a test drive Bill :D

Is it booked?

We are getting the Jetta, dont know what specs, but it wouldnt be the 3.2.

I pinched this link from our Polish mates at http://corollatsport.com/...check it out :)

Nerd talk here... To get the best tuning possible, I dont think its worth the hastle to get the piggy back, They are limited. A stand alone ECU will provide the best tuning possible, but also be the most expensive because of tuning.

Sunday the 5th of March it is :D any objections???? you have until monday 30th to put in your case, otherwise I will call Simon and book it for the 5th.

Hey Barney, the Fensport corolla is old news around here mate :).

K&N appollo is it just the cover to secure the pod filter from hot air? or is it included with the pod filter?

i like the set up B)

The pod is inside the cover, its a cone shape. It can be removed for cleaning etc.

Hi Lucio, thanks for the post. Few questions though:

1. Is this installable in the 1ZZ?
   
2. Does the unit have a bracket securing it or does it dangle?
   
3. Where did you buy this from?
   

I assume it is installable for the 1zz. The unit doesent have a bracket, i made one, got it from Autobarn.

i had a similar unit on my holden barina. dit was good goo but the CAI was sounding great and had better gain becasuse the air coming in was far cooler. as that K&N pod heats up the air coming in is heated up instantly.

The pod doesent heat up as you can attach a hose from the pod to the front of the car.

bludgers

The best Rollas are in Melbourne you guys know that, the only problem is those dudes can afford pc's they spend all their money on mods :P so they are never online. Go the Vics +1

So what dates do you guys have in mind? Mid Feb? or is it too hot?

I got home today after 45 minutes of driving, jumped out of the car and popped up the bonet. I went to touch the K&N apollo and to my surprise it wasnt even luke warm it was cold. The rubber hosing going back into the throttle body was warm, but there is definetly cold air flowing through there and it pulls harder than ever. Its the perfect match with the CES exhaust. My advice to anyone out there considering a CAI, give this thing a go, saves you a bit of cash, take it from me ive tried alot of different inductions and this is my pick of the lot.

Apart from looks you get an mp3 player in the facelift models along with changed clutch cables, heavier gear knob, auto mode for all 4 electric windows and better quality leather. The finish is better.

Have you got a CAI mowong?
