I have an Australian made V6 Camry called an Aurion (GSV40 2011). It's a runabout and general dogs body car in good condition and full service history that I'm improving. It's only 115k miles. I'd like it to be a useful sleeper. It's a U660E auto and I keep getting pushback from every transmission place on info. I wish to keep the auto. But I see this as a limitation for increased RPM. My goal is 7000-7500 redline. It's a hobby car as I don't wish to modify my Audis. I want to enjoy driving it and also tow, so low to mid-range power needs to be a good part of the power under the curve. I'd like to warm the engine with 258 or 264 cams, double springs, but otherwise keep it stock looking with the hood (bonnet) open. What I've done so far has really made an improvement in acceleration and fuel economy but I'm stuck moving forward. I have the pockets for it but can't seem to be able to spend it until I can solve the transmission info gap. So far I have derestricted the standard intake, checked the manifold solenoid operation, cleaned the throttle, deleted the secondary cat and upgraded the Y-pipe, cleaned the VVTi solenoids and filters, suspension upgrades, brake upgrades, and grippy tires. It launches hard and hauls. Fuel economy has improved ~12% and 0-100km about 1.6 secs better. I'd appreciate anyone's info.

Update: Someone on another site told me about the Lotus Evora IPS which uses the U660E. It's a standard Toyota transmission with the stock 6600RPM redline. In the transmission's Sports Mode, it lifts the redline to 7000RPM. I'm not sure how it enables this, but it means a 7000 RPM redline now seems feasible in a Camry. There are also IPS solenoid upgrade kits available on the Net but quite a technical upgrade with machining and currently overkill for my intentions.

Motorbike intake manifolds use variable length runner and two fuel injectors per cylinder (one up stream one down stream) if you want the manifold to be optimal for street-race with 9-10k rpm it might be worth looking into. However might to be too costly.
@FrankensteinMotorworks5 ай бұрын
The injectors i use are really good at atomization which negates the need for the fuel to have as much time to mix. eventually it will still become a factor though and for that i have a design in mind and mounting locations in the manifold already intended for it.

So niiiiice and a beautful exhaust note! I assume that it wouldn't be possible to integrate/weld/connect the, i think, normally bolted "side panels" over the strut towers into the hood for easier access to the engine bay, right? It is somehow sad that Toyota had only one engine with the VVTi-L system, the 1.8l 2ZZ. If that could be somehow adapted to for example to your 2AR or even the 2GR that would be cool but if at all, definetly costly.
@FrankensteinMotorworks5 ай бұрын
The side panels are trivial to remove when you need space to work, they take two bolts each and just slide out of the way. they can't be part of the engine lid panel because they would interfere with the c pillars that surround the engine bay. As for VVTi-L system i thought about that for a while but what i came to the conclusion on that while it would be nice it's really not limiting the power output on the motor. Flip the way you're thinking of it from a switchable high lift cam to a switchable nicely idling cam because at the end of the day that's all it is, it's a small cam that makes it possible to idle down low where a production car needs to idle. If we remove the restriction of being able to idle at 650rpm we can just bump that up to 900rpm or so and suddenly we can smoothly idle pretty much as big of a cam as you want. The VVT-I system really helps with making large cams idle too.
@Karsten-cc5ws5 ай бұрын
@@FrankensteinMotorworks Ok, mistake on my side for not writing what i had in mind. My thought was, using the 2ZZ principle, to combine the benefits of a standard? 235 cam profile in the low/mid revs (including smooth idling) with the benefits of a high degree 263+ /lift cam profile for the high revs. As far as i can tell, the 2ZZ used 228 and 292 degrees. I mean, yeah, those 292 degrees are definetly too much for smooth idling. ) I hope that makes somehow sense to you. Sorry, i am not a native english speaker (german here).

Seriously, the y pipe on the stock applications is absolutely awful and there is nothing else worth doing to it until you fix that. You'll of course want to replace the exhaust behind it after replacing the y-pipe to keep the flow going. In my experience there is 40-50whp hiding in that y-pipe

I have great news for you! Quaife already makes an LSD for this transmission and there already are off the shelf axles that work with the E350 trans (scion tC trans). Also, for what it's worth i don't have a lift either and i've installed/removed MR2 engines hundreds of times, it's a bit annoying but it's hardly a show stopper.

@@FrankensteinMotorworks I saw somewhere that the quife LSD is not being made anymore. Where can I find one? Also what axles do I use in my case 91 MR2 using a scion TC trans.

@@brandon_buildsDIY Quaife had discontinued it but that was right when the MR2 crowd picked up the transmission and that caused enough of a surge in demand they reversed their decision. They appear to be out of stock at the moment but this should be temporary, feel free to reach out to them to ask for when they will have more or there are two units available on e-bay right now, just search QDF25E As for the axles Alex has put together a nice guide here: wilhelmraceworks.com/blog/e351-transmission-swap

@@FrankensteinMotorworks ty so much. Also do you put together motors for customers? Like I wanna do the valve springs/cams/rods and high comp pistons.

@@brandon_buildsDIY we can discuss the build for sure but these motors are easy to DIY and i would strongly recommend just building it yourself to save a bunch of cash. If you want just send me an e-mail or use the contact form on the website (there's a link at the bottom of every page on the website)

When will we see forged pistons and rods for the 2AR FE for sale?
