Short video clip of the Camry in action. *Now with new pics of turbo and wheels*

UPDATE: Just installed my summer wheels and snapped some new pics.. Enjoy

Well, I am sure all of you are aware that I've went back to a single turbo setup.. Single life is great

I didn't have time to polish up the engine bay, so I don't have pictures of the setup yet... I did manage to shoot a few small clips of the HKS T51R Camry doing some 1st gear rips back and forth however...

Engine was revving to 7200RPM on the video... Soon I will be taking it to 7500RPM..haha The engine still continues to make power up to 7000RPM, so the gearing is pretty long now. 1st goes to 85km/h and the end of 2nd goes to 140km/h, and it pulls really well

In case some of you have missed my dyno/test drive video, here's the link:

Here's a few short revving clips from the outside:

Awesome! Sounds great!

DAMON · Mar 16, 2009

turbo sounds sick tony, very nice! Did you paint your front lip black?

PtBaller · Mar 16, 2009

Turbo sounds crazy, I love it.

Hamsterman · Mar 16, 2009

Haha - that is a loud turbo man! I bet your neighbors love you...

Very cool man, really a show stopping sound

DarkMastyr · Mar 16, 2009

I dare to say, good sir, that your car is not loud enough. I suggest open headers. Wouldn't want your car buddies thinking you're a pussy do ya?

Eye8Pussies · Mar 16, 2009

wow....it sounds even more like a jet plane than before :lol: amazing...can't wait to come back in april and see this beast

PhatRoyale · Mar 16, 2009

The sound of the turbo spooling up is insane!

a94autoCamry · Mar 16, 2009

rofl, i like how at the end the guy is standing there probably dazed and confused :lol:

nice work man, and the infamous pulling into the driveway too!!! nice!! :lol:

ASG14 · Mar 20, 2009

Oh man.........that thing is beautiful.

Tony the Tiger · Mar 20, 2009

Pics are up

Thanks for the compliments guys! Please let me know what you guys think about the front lip as well.. It is not actually painted because the flat black you see on there is the Duplicolor bug shield coating spray and actually washes off with soap and water.

I was thinking if painting it like that in gloss black as well and make it pernament

Eye8Pussies · Mar 20, 2009

it looks very sleeperish...as in even more than before...but I would personally prefer the lip without the black.

though...on the good side...people would stop mistaking my car for your car now

Creeps228 · Mar 20, 2009

awsome man....your an idol in the camry world

TTercel · Mar 20, 2009

Loving the car, can't wait to see it in the summer...600whp...8000rpm...

Why did you switch over to 300M coil packs? I assume they provide better spark, did you have to modify anything to use them?

Not a fan of the black on the lip keep it the way it was!

Tony the Tiger · Mar 21, 2009

I really appreciate each and every one of your replies.. Thanks for the compliments, and it makes my day just reading your feedback during lunchbreak earlier today...hehe

I know a lot of you liked the old look better, but I think I am going to go with the black bumper, but in gloss black... The gloss black will give a CF effect which should look pretty clean.

It's more of a change in appearance too because I had this look for a good 5-6 years already... At night time, the front lip won't stand out as much as well. To keep it a true sleeper, I have to go with the black lip

It was more for availability actually... Toyota wanted $180 for a brand new coil pack and a 6 month wait time, and I needed six of them...lol I was doing a search for the Denso part numbers and somehow I managed to find that the 300m coil packs were made to the same specifications as the Camry ones. They share the same electrical connector, same coil depth, and even the same charge times. They can be easily found used for $75 for all six, or brand new for $59 a piece. The only thing you need to do to run them is enlarging one of the mounting holes so a 6mm bolt will go through, and you can mount them just like stock... Everything plugs in like stock, and the stock ignitor will drive them as well.

Thanks for showing me the link (and creating that thread as well)! It was a great read, and I am glad that Solaraguy forums also gets an update on my Camry

TitaniumSE · Mar 20, 2009

One word: buttsecks. I wish my Camry could be like yours one day, if I make enough money and can find a shop like yours that can do all the work.. :'(

Knailgun · Mar 20, 2009

*looks down*

I think I just jizzed in my pants.....

fuckin A mes aime.....ungodly

desentrix · Mar 20, 2009

Is that stock?

DAMON · Mar 20, 2009

I agree, I like the lip how it was before. Much cleaner IMO. That turbo is badass O.O

wtftoy · Mar 20, 2009

As always, very nice tony! Revert back to your old lip color, the black makes it seem out of place.

Man if I could see your car in real life, anybody wanna setup a group buy for tickets to canada? Hahaha

desentrix · Mar 20, 2009

I'm itching to see it open at the track.

Unless there was a good meet happening at the same time, or else, my working hours usually don't work too well for others unless you want to meet up at 1:00am...lol Gotta have a good reason to take time off work (ie: a good meet...hah)

Nice find! Thanks for the link... It was fun to see what the S2k owners think of the car..

Many of them wouldn't understand the reason for a sweet done up Camry though except for us here on TN; but the funny thing is though that my Camry would have no problems eating 95% of those S2k's if I catch ever them on a weekend cruise or on my way to work...

That even includes getting them even on a highway onramp/offramp because the Camry can nail a quick or even a long sweeping corners and I have no problems staying close with many good handling until the exit of the turn (then it will become a straightline race...lol).

Having a fast and great handling street car is totally different than having a well balanced good handling car that is fast on a roadcourse. On a roadcourse, things such as endurance, braking, cooling, balance, and weight are critical factors for consistent lap times, corner after corner, turn after turn. The Camry won't be able to do well on a road course under those conditions. On the streets though, the car with the stickiest tire, a stiffer suspension to make use of the sticky tires, and a car that has way more power will win. What happens after a quick corner or a highway ramp on the streets? A long stretch of straight road :clap: We don't live in Japan, so canyon carving isn't what I encounter on a daily basis...hah

Ferrat · Mar 22, 2009

Damn, some real nice work going on there, loving the turbo spool.

Quick question, would there be anyway to keep the cruise control module in a turbo setup like that?

Cheers
Matt

Tony the Tiger · Mar 23, 2009

If you have a turbo setup like that, you better be sure that stock ECU isn't doing anything anymore...lol

No stock ECU = no cruise control.

Eye8Pussies · Mar 22, 2009

there's no room in the engine bay for cruise control...lol
