TunedRX300 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 See my survey posting on assessing interests on developing a pheno spacer for RX300, ES300, Camry V6 (1MZFE). Spacer keeps intake manifold cool and increases power. Thermoblok Survey Third generation ES (97-01) shares the same engine as RX and Camry V6. If there is enough interest, we can ask Outlaw Engineering to develope a new application for our cars. Note: postings are approved by SKPerformance.

Toysrme Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hmmm I doubt you'll draw any intrest. You better go where the mass market is. Toyota Nation's Camry forum & Solaraguy.com is where anyone that's everyone will hang out. Solaraguy is more than likely the only place where you'll find any legit intrest. May be a tiny bit of intrest on Yotatech.com & Pirate 4*4 as the RX is a highlander. On a side note. I made a 1/4" spacer out of aircraft ply. The intake is hot enough not to burn yourself once it warms up, but it's still quiet warm to the touch. Maybe get 1-2hp from it. If anything, it just shifts the powerband a tiny bit because the runners grow slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 You just reminded me I owed Sean a spacer LoL! My original OEM gasket vs 3/8" Aircraft ply one I just started. Pre filling, pre sanding, way pre finishing. Something like that! Somewhere between 3/8" and 5/16" is the maximum you can go on the stock allen bolts / studs without pulling them out. Since most people don't have the tools to pull a stud out (let alone a semi-corroded, frozen one). I suggest sticking way under a 1/2" & just letting anyone that wants bigger to order two! The transverse v6's are going to have a problem. They all leave a hood imprints stock & most intake manifolds smack strut tower braces. Anyone using a spacer is going to have to ditch a strut brace (Not that they do anything, that's another discussion) & be weary of the engine rocking into the hood! Also. It's not going to fit. The EGR pipe & rear support brackets will no longer line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Oh ya, whatever the name of the Toyota van is, they use a transverse 1mz-fe too. (JDM it's a Previa). Man that van sucks... The twin turbo 1mz-fe kit has been out for like... 7-8 years now for the Previa. We soooo always get the shaft! LoL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the 06's will ship with. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
