Hey guys, just wanted to share my build with you all, see what you think..

Its an 04 Camry SE, 5-speed, 2az-fe, japan built---as popular as the Camry is, there were not many of these built..

bought it brand new in December 2003, and slowly been modding it.. its got 170k miles now, still on the OEM clutch and she gets beaten DAILY haha..

I figured this would be a better place to get info about the motor/clutch/etc than the lame Toyota site---they all have auto's and never mod them beyond suspension/wheels..

Mods:

BC racing coilovers- 10k front/8k rear springs
Whiteline rear sway bar
ATE slotted rotors F/R
H&R rear camber kit
Motul trans fluid
XXR 522 18x9.5 +38 front/+25 rear
Kumho AST 225-40

K&N drop in, cut stock airbox
Optima yellow top

Pioneer Avic-D3
JL 500x1
Alpine type-r 12
35% tint
blacked out/debaged emblems
TRD grille
JLM 600k HID kit
rear fenders shaved flat

here's a couple pics of how where she started..

eibach pro-kit and 18x7.5 enkeis..



then got some 19x8 kazera's off craigslist for next to nothing..



annnd now, how she sits with the XXR's and BC's...



since this is a Scion site, here ya go





here is my future plan...




I want a built motor, PTE6262, AEM EMS, DW1000's, and some corn fuel



My question is sorta vague... who builds the most reliable motors around the DC/MD/VA area? I am very close to PTuning. my plan was to just get an assembled bottom end, then an assembled head and install it myself..

Also, best all around street clutch? I was looking at either the Clutchmasters stage 2 or ACT street..


Any info is greatly appreciated!!

^this one?



I found out something pretty cool... My gears are quite a bit longer than the Tc... My 2nd, at 6200rpm, is at 62mph, and 3rd is done at just over 90(on a closed road of course )

i guess that means it'll be a highway killer w/ 450whp!!!

and the E85 station is right next to my house.. i paid $3.98 for 87 while it was $3.75 for the corn..

Looks great. Good luck with your future plans for the car.

Deffinetly going to need more them a CM stage 2!!! You'll need at least a fx400 but It all depends on what kind if power your trying to get! But with a built motor and a 6262 you should be well over 400 and you might want to go with a fx500

blackg5

is that safe for the stock trans? seems like a pretty badass clutch, but the last thing i want is to break a gear..

how strong is the Tc trans? I thought PTuning's race car just had a sick clutch but stock trans..?

I actually drive the car 100+ miles a day right now, but when it gets built, it wont be a DD anymore but i still want it to be reliable..


thanks for the help guys!

Haha the guy wfc wouldnt accept.

Can you just drop in any tc turbo kit into a camry?

blackg5

yea they can keep their number and their wrx's with 17x7's calling themselves "wrong fitment".... my car sits ~2 to the oil pan. thats low enough for me and my 100 mile daily commute.

lolz, i guess this isn't low enough is it?



as far as i know, the only difference is the intercooler piping. everything else should bolt right up, i hope!

a guy in FL made 347whp with his 02 camry, swapped a stock 08 tc motor in it, with a custom dezod kit i think.. but he's got an auto..

Well most camry's on there were super slammed...


I dont think I've ever seen 17x7's on that website... haha whatever.

thread moved since as your titles states NOT a tc....very nice though

blackg5

of course you post kenny's car.. if mine had the oem kit, it would be just as low.

haha, this one here sure is wrong fitment worthy #3210



man bro ur wheels are so wide hahahaha.. i mean, ur spacers are so huge


anyway, enough blabber...


I just emailed Paul@ dezod about the Quaife LSD... I'll be ordering mine next week

The setup you speak of will be good into the 450-500whp range on E85, than youll run out of fuel on 1000cc inj, even with retarded high base fuel pressure. I know because your proposed setup is almost identical to mine.

I have built bottom end (9:1 cr Wiseco Pistons, BC Rods)
BC Valvesprings/Retainers
Precision 6262
DW 1000cc inj
DW301 fuel pump
and a custom fuel return setup.
Also youll prob want a twin disc clutch

Im using the EMan Ultimate and running 7500rpm rev limit on 20 ish psi currently.

With a bigger fuel setup, you should have no problems getting into the 500-600whp range with this setup, the motor, turbo, and everything else should be good for it. Im hopefully getting 1600cc inj soon

blackg5

what brand 1600's? I plan on doing AEM standalone, so bigger won't hurt! how do you like the emanage? i've heard good and bad.. i know Injector Dynamics should be able to make a set-- they have subaru injectors - 2000cc..

and with the 6262, when do you see full boost? I was just thinking a 30r .82 would be legit, but would run out of steam around 500whp--i think..?


what clutch would you recommend? I'm ordering the Quaife next week, then a clutch in a few weeks.. I want something streetable, preferably as stock feeling as possible..

I appreciate the response!! this is exactly why i came here from the toyota site, they all have auto's and never boost them..

Wicked yota. Take it to Ptuning and get it done right the first time

As for a clutch, Id recommend the ClutchMasters FX600.
Im currently running Deatchwerks 1000cc injectors, and plan on getting them to work me up some 1600cc inj. (DW is located in OKC, so they are local to me and love helping me out with crazy ideas haha)
As for the 6262, I make full boost slightly over 4k - with a 7500 rpm redline I have a solid 3200-3500 rpm power band.
I dont have much experience with the 30r, but if youre going that route, I think youd wanna look more at the 35r.
Oh an after resolving a couple minor issues (Mostly my fault) the emanage ultimate is great and really does damn near anything an ems can do. Theres even a rumor on the street that soon the EMU will be able to do a set timing map so you can completely remove the stock ecu from the timing equation.
