Camry & Solara LoungeDiscussion area for every generation of Toyota's family car, the Toyota Camry. Lexus ES250/300 owners welcome! Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance and more.
I have talked to ZPI about making a turbo kit for the solara and camry. I need people who are serious about buying a kit from them. I do not want to people that are just talk.
ZPI has already made a kit for the scion tc and their stage 0 turbo kit dyno at 230hp. The other stages turbo kits like the stage 1 makes close to 300hp. So I am looking for serious inquires and people that would want to put a deposit down for the turbo kit.
warranty is 1yr on the turbo 5 year on the manifold the rest is stainless pipe it will never go bad. Pricing is yet to be decided. They will take $500 non-refundable deposits
Yeah... "non-refundable" and "deposit" are sorta contradictory, don't you think? I'd say I was interested, but there just aren't enough details, and the "non-refundable" part just doesn't do it for me... sorry. I think I'd rather go custom and have Wraith build something up for me down the road... it'll probably even cost less.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

this is the number 1 reason why companies do not want to make anything for the camry platform. and this is also why i would rather go 1 off on my stuff. I am just here to offer and help out the community. back then when i started the group buy for the solara c/f hood alot of people needed to put a deposit in order to get the hood made. companies aren't going to waste their time if there is not demand on the product period. also if you read up on the scionlife boards you know who zpi are and what they have done for the scion tc guys over there. if you were serious you should actually research on the company before say that their shady. They need some sort of moeny to produce the kit and spend time on R&D rather then just built a kit and give it to where down the line you blow it up. Next time when an offer comes up for the 2az platform don't cry about how come their no performance parts. I am tried of people on this board wanting performance and when the time comes knocking on our step no one down to get it. Justin is a really good friend of mines and I know he has spend alot of money and time on builting his car. But if you have serious dough to lay on the motor like that more power to you.
Here pretty much the list of what ZPI offer for the Scion TC which is pretty much the same for the Camry Solara.
300whp 9-10 psi (150% increase)
EVO III GT Big 16g
Tial Wastegate (color of choice)
Tial BOV (color of choice)
Stainless Intercooler piping
Precision Turbo intercooler with cast end tanks
Pre tapped oil pan
Pre tuned Emanage
550cc RC injectors
Stainless Manifold
4 ply couplers
This kit goes for $4990.00

Ok, I never said that ZPI was shady, 2wickedtoyz did. All I said was that I can probably do better with a custom turbo setup through Justin, and probably end up paying less. Also, not wanting to put down the deposit isn't the only reason companies aren't making parts for the Camry. A lot of the parts out there are shitty and I don't like them, so I'd rather go custom. If companies lose out because I decided to go custom, and if it makes them turn their back on the Camry performance interests, then so be it. I'm not bitching at them for it. Also, how are they even planning on boosting it 9-10 psi? There's no talk of forged internals anywhere... look at Milt's Solara. He was only boosting 4psi with his supercharger and he warped his pistons and had to scrap the engine. Like I said, I'd rather go custom: do a rebuild of the internals, and boost it to 15+ psi. Down the road, I'll be saving myself lots of money and trouble knowing that I'm not worrying about my engine being warped by the boost. Thats why I wouldn't go for a kit.
Also, explain to me how the tC is getting 300whp at 9-10 psi if the 7psi TRD supercharger only boosts it to 200HP, and thats not even to the wheels. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but you started to come down on me first...

personally i would be up 4 it but as kenny said 5000 might be a little out of my range i could work w/ 3000 or something around there but 5000 is pushing it for me since i'm only 19 unless we could make payments on it and not have to throw all the money in at once

You may think that I came down on you, but I was referring to the whole camry community not just you. Like I said if you got the dough to do a full custom turbo kit more power to you. As for the TRD S/C on the Scion TC it pulling 192 hp at the stock pulley. ZPI has also made upgraded pully for the S/C even though they make a turbo kit also. I am not bashing on Milt's Solara but if you knew how he drove and not braking in the s/c would no doubt fuck up the motor. Also do you even know the compression ratio btw the 1mz and the 2az? The 1mz has 10.5:1 compression ratio compare to the 9.5:1 compression ratio. I have no problem if you go with a custom set up. but please don't come up on this thread and scare the rest of the other people that are really interested in becoming boosted.
i'm telling you dude i'm really up for this if we don't have to put all the money down at one time i mean i can probably make a 500 dollar deposit but i can't pay 4500 after it is finished i mean is there a way to get payments on it or am i pretty much going to have to come up with the money???
