I'll post some interior and wire tuck progress shots later. As far as future modifications, a trd lip kit would be nice. My camry is daily driven, however, I do take it to car shows and autocrosses. Last year the camry got into the reader's rides issue of modified magazine and I'm trying to get more of a feature in this year's edition.
My car is beneath the big orange car w/ the black hood.


I was going to turbo it and I did tons of research and started to acquire some parts but I stopped the project. Any ideas on what I should do next?

did you get any power increase out of the injectors and crank pulley?

[t3chnique]

i like mostly everything except the tiny rims.

the gen 4s make 16" rims and smaller look like dolley wheels.

go for some 17s. There some 17" BBS in the for sale section right now actually

Not that much, I don't know how much of a hp increase they specifically gave me but unorthodox racing claims their crank pulley adds 1-2hp, so I'd say 0-1hp in reality. As for the injectors, it depends on how the air/fuel ratio is set. Once I get a walbro fuel pump I'm going to get the car tuned and I'll see how much hp I can squeeze out of the upgraded fuel system.

I agree with getting it slammed it would look so much more aggressive but for now it still looks hot. Btw is that a Brembo decal that you put on the calipers?

[skuttduck]

Looks real nice. Only thing I would do is get the Depo clear lights for the rear turn signals, and install the amber bulbs (you can use the same as the front turn signals in there). But that is just me. Since you already got clear corners on the front, why not back there as well.

nice man, havnt seen ya around in a while. that car is lookin good and i still have that
Modified with you in it.

id be surprised if the injectors increased power at all. without a reason for higher flow they would do nothing. but the rest of the goodies would at least help the cars response and maby add a little power.

Ditto on the bigger wheels.

[Luckynumber5]

You wont need an upgraded fuel pump, just get an oem replacement. You will be drowning the thing in fuel.

Look into cams and some head work, that will open her up a nice bit

[Gamble]

How do you put in bigger injectors without something to compensate for them?

It looks ok, I don't like the look of your engine bay at all though. I just don't understand modding a camry.

Also isn't the stock crank pulley a dampener? The lightweight pulley doesn't have anything to dampen out vibrations.

[RU2CHKN]

It's unique to mod a camry in my opinion, anything that isn't a civic basically haha. Well let's see, the engine lasts forever so y not have fun with it?

[Gamble]

I guess, my point is, they are slow regarless of what you do so might as well go for show. Right?

Yes sir!

[Gamble]

I mean don't get me wrong if you could slap on a header, intake and port the tb and gain 25hp like a turbo car I'd be all for it, otherwise it seems like a waste of money.
On mine I might throw in a drop in k&n since I don't want it to be loud. Got my other car for that, would like to keep the dd quiet.
