I also changed the hose from 1.8 because the hose from 1.6 didn't fit on the 1ZZ Throttle Body. I disconnected the negative battery when I did the process than put it back again when finished. The car was revving up and down to learn the 1ZZ Throttle Body, but now it idle at 1000 rpm. Before was idling at 650/700 rpm. What could it be? Thank you.

      Nope, it should be exactly the same process as here. I felt the Dynamic Sideskirts might benefit from an extra screw near the 2 wheel arches. (In the location one would expect mudflaps).

    @177SCmaro 2 місяці тому

    I've been driving one for almost 10 years now. I can summarize the Celica as basically a sportier 2 door version of an early 2000's Corolla with all the longevity of a Toyota built around that time. The only thing is you gotta keep up on your maintenance. Both the economy 1ZZ in the GT and the high performance 2ZZ engine in the GTS had a couple of issues. The 1zz like to use/burn oil, especially if you were lax on regular oil changes, and the 2zz likes to break the original style lift bolts. If you ever buy a GTS, or anything with the 2ZZ, the first thing you should do it pop the coils and valve cover and replace both lift bolts on the rocker shafts with the new, updated (the pointier) ones, even if it was already done at some point. The parts are cheap but fixing broken lift bolts is not. The car will still run with broken lift bolts but it will lose a lot of power above ~6000rpm because the rockers won't activate on the high lift cam lobes. The 2ZZ especially is also very sensitive to oil starvation/lack of maintenance.

But longterm, after the ECU learns the setup I found my MPG improved with the 1zz modifications. After 200 miles the ECU learns the setup. I saw a slight improvement of MPG. Maybe +1mpg difference. That improvement in fuel efficiency may have been down to my cleaning of the parts and having new gaskets fitted.

    • @HobTecCars
      @HobTecCars 2 місяці тому

      @Lowgradenarcolepsy In theory yes. But the numbers are so large. Most cars have about 55 microns of clear laquer applied. If you used a machine polisher and a strong compound the MOST you'd remove is 5 microns. So that means you'd have to machine polish your car 11 times before you damage the paint. Most cars are lucky if they get machine polished once in their lifetime. A good question though and worth highlighting.
