hey guys, can't find a proper page but i guess this FAQ page is meant by Q&A session right..

^_^

As i know, last time i see err.. Jahax, ur engine is what engine r? 2zzge right? not 3sge right?... aint too sure also le..haha!! long time already... ok.. back to my questions..

I have a friend who is searching for an altezza after kenak pyscho by haha!! toyota kakis..haha! :P

His question is that.. What is the different between 2zzge engine and 3sge? in terms of:
1. powers, bhp..
2. engine cost? like altezza with 2zzge issit more $$ compare to an altezza with 3sge?
3. Upgrading version? 2zzge to supercharger? 3sge to 3sgte?

and also.. altezza is actually running on 3 cam shaft right? and what is the different between vvtl-i and dual vvt? well, as i know.. ur 2zzge is consider as new year 2000 century N.A class engine and they are running on a new system called by VVTL-i.. ^_^

^_^ i check back later.. hopefully brother who remember me can give me some answer la..haha!! :D

ciaos!~~ and thanks in advance first.. :P

 

[green]

I have a friend who is searching for an altezza after kenak pyscho by (who) haha!! toyota kakis..haha! :P

His question is that.. What is the different between 2zzge (190hp) engine and 3sge (210hp)? in terms of:
1. powers, bhp..
2. engine cost? like altezza with 2zzge(4k plus) (no altezza with this engine) issit more $$ compare to an altezza with 3sge (about the same)?
3. Upgrading version? 2zzge to supercharger? 3sge (better with bolt-ons) to 3sgte?

and also.. altezza is actually running on 3 cam shaft (inlet & exhaust cam = 2 camshaft) right? and what is the different between vvtl-i (single variable valve timing & lifting) and dual vvt (both camshaft is variable valve timing NO lifting)? well, as i know.. ur 2zzge is consider as new year 2000 century N.A class engine and they are running on a new system called by VVTL-i.. ^_^ (its because of its fuel economy, light weight, compact and new specification)

 

[JayDM]

Good answer poro..:shades_smile: :shades_smile:

 

[porosaki]

JayDM. how much u need to host this altezza forum?

 

[JaHaX]

Oic ... sbirdz ...

[sbirdz]

0_o wah seh.. i read until wanna pengsan!! MArtin!!! hahaha.. ^_^ blur la..haha!! macam guru besar correcting my exercise book.. hahah!! ^_^ aiseh.. :P

ok.. so that means.. 2zzge ain't on our local market here.. and 210 bhp.. hmn....

ok then.. what is the differences of Z series? what.. aiyo!! i wanna pengsan already here.. got how many version of altezza now in the market here?? The unregistered version.. Hear from him got Z version(final?) then err..

hahha!! and i am not too understand on the part of the vvtl-i and dual vvt... does those engines are builded in with dual vvti + vvtl-i? eerr... vvti x 2 + vvtl-i, then mai jadi.. vvvttl-i... hahhah!! pengsan me.. ^_^ bare on with me le.. haha!! :D dun burn me down please...

 

[Invisible]

How about the maintenance?
Is it expensive to maintain the car?
How about the fuel consumption?

 

[porosaki]

i also wanna pengsan already!

 

[3SGE]

Hey...does any bro here know wut is the auto max speed with final drive 4.7? Thanks:regular_smile:

 

[martinchan]

eeerrr......i don'y know!!!

*cabut*

 

[porosaki]

How about the maintenance? (like servicing a VIOS. no special care needed. put better engine oil like TOYOTA FULLY SYNTHETIC)
Is it expensive to maintain the car? (unless u driving a BMW/MERC. its just a normal yota with a mild steroid engine.)
How about the fuel consumption? manual 520km extra urban. average u get 11 km/litre. also take care of the O2 & air flow sensors and it will take care of ur wallet!)

0_o wah seh.. i read until wanna pengsan!! MArtin!!! hahaha.. ^_^ blur la..haha!! macam guru besar correcting my exercise book.. hahah!! ^_^ aiseh.. :P

ok.. so that means.. 2zzge ain't on our Altezza engine compartment & not, not in local market here.. and 210 bhp.. hmn....

ok then.. what is the differences of Z series(there is N,Z & L edition. pls refer to above)? what.. aiyo!! i wanna pengsan already here.. got how many version of altezza now in the market here?? The unregistered version.. Hear from him got Z version(final?) then err..

hahha!! and i am not too understand on the part of the vvtl-i and dual vvt... does those engines is builded in with (Dual VVt-i for altezza) & (Single VVTL-i for celica)? eerr... (vvti x 2 is 1 engine which is 3S-GE) & (vvtl-i is another engine which is 2ZZ-GE),

 

[tcdotkong]

Sorry ha! May I ask, for Z-edition what does it mean : electric options and HID ??

HID stands for the front lights right? Then what are the electric options available ?

 

[Lumix]

dotkong,

Z-edition without leather interior, for eletric options available.. i guess it can have HID, sunroof, and heated seat...

 

[220mph]

i m having problem.. wanted to know izzit me or its usuall..
1st gear doesnt feel enough torque...
power after 80kmh - 200kmh is pleasently good..
few days ago only discover that previous owner from japan had mod a custom manifold pipe..
suspected it have something to do with the bad manifold..
i have photo under the car, but i guess it wont help much.

so what i want to know is, does all altezza have mild 1st gear torque?
or will a bad manifold really infect our 1st gear torque so great..
and between, mine is 5a/t tip tronic..
and have any 1 test out the original speedometer ..
i mean izzit really 180kmh as it shown compare to RSM or any other car..?
coz its too stable and make me hardly believe i m on 180 la..: Not_Impressed:

too stable? haahah.. having an altezza is like having a beemer. In Japan, an altezza is in higher class compared to camry. The production of Altezza in year 1998 is to compete with the 3 series. FYI, auto is auto can't compare to manual. what u're experiencing now is NORMAL. manifold? why custom manifold? do u mean the 'extractor' - the front exhaust? for auto, it's a RESTRICTION to change it.

i m not sure did i overated it with the word of too stable...
since i m comparing it to my last car VIOS.. haha..
and yes i do mean extrctor...
i m not sure y those japanese made a custom 1 sine i m buying a re-con 1...
for me torque coming around 5000rpm its a little late sine it end at 7000 without speeed cut...
its there any tunning device to make it come earlier.. :)

 

[220mph]

not sure where to ask this...
but this is a project i m currently going on...

have any1 tried to convert our ori altezza nevigation system screen to dvd watchable..
i m not sure r they lazy or what, but those ICE shop worker told me its hard/ impossible because it got no AV output/ input receiver...
it say it only has tv receiver...
how true is that?
