As far as performance accessories, you pretty much have to make everything yourself. You can buy a cone filter with AFM adapter, high performance spark plugs and wires, and that's about it. I put a universal fart muffler on my Gen 2. And you can jerry rig universal stuff to work too.

You need a AFM (air flow meter) adapter and a cone filter.

I built a CAI (cold air intake) for my gen 2.

Thanx yo holla

Only way to do a true CAI for the Gen2 is to custom-build one... nobody makes them stock and ready to plug-n-play in the older Camrys.

You will need an AFM adapter (basically a piece of metal that plugs from the square AFM opening to a round hose), rubber fittings/hose clamps, material to run the intake to the front of the car, and a cone filter. You can get the AFM adapter/filter/host clamp from ProCarParts.com, but you'll need to find a way to run the filter up front if you want a true CAI, otherwise you'll lose low-end torque (by sucking in hot air from the engine bay instead of through the airbox's little portal to the front of the bay). I learned this one the hard way on my Gen2... :wink:

You can use parts made for the Celica All-Trac. Toymods.au has a tech article on using Celica GT4 brakes. Celica parts (some) can be used for the Camry. Engines that you can drop in are 3S-GE and 3S-gte. Call toysport for more info. Check this guys Camry out.
http://lsrprototypez.cjb.net/ He uses accord 90-93 front and back kit pieces and 96-01 civic side skirts. Wings west has a kit at Nopi.com and racesearch.com for under 500$ for full kit. Hope this helps

Wait, I made a CAI, or atleast I think I did, it makes a nice sound and all, but it does not saty cool (sometimes it does)
You were saying I need an AFM adapter?
If I don't what exactly happens?
I have a Gen 3... please help!!!

dark_pietro · 07-05-2002, 12:54 AM

DANG! that helped out a bunch> is there any more accessories that i could load up on dis thing? How much would I be looking at to make this CAI? and how effective would it be?

dark_pietro · 07-06-2002, 07:36 PM

Alright I am starting to build my own AEM-Style Cold Air Intake.....which material would be the best to make it out of? Aluminum? And do I need to drain the system before I start to work on it... Thanx yo I need some help

I would say aluminum is the best. Its light and it dissipates heat very well.

The problem is finding it in prebent shapes (180 degree u-bend).

What are you gonna drain? Air?

Just remove all the stock crap (intake piping, airbox, tubes, and resonator).

One thing you'll have to do is enlarge the hole underneath the fuse box. It helps if you remove the battery so that you can get to it.

Aight I know where the fuse box and everything is at on my car, but its missing some fuses in the fuse box, where could I find the way that they are supposed to be in there? Three of the holes had nothing in them and on the outside of the fuse box it had drawings of the fuses..... What should I do?
