2007 Toyota Camry with 2.4L Engine Gets Huge Horsepower Gain with K&N Air Intake System

The 2007 Toyota Camry is the sixth generation Camry. The conservative style did not change in 2007, but the new design is fresher and younger. There are smaller windows and headlights that have gone horizontal.

K&N Engineering's 69-8610TTK

K&N Engineering has developed a textured black High-Flow Air Intake System (69-8610TTK) for the 2007 Toyota 2.4 liter Camry.

69-8610TTK installed

K&N dynamometer testing showed this small 2.4L engine gained 14.26 horsepower @ 5639 RPMs. K&N High-Flow Air Intake Systems provide a measured increase in horsepower while providing excellent air filtration. Our thoroughly engineered air intake systems provide huge increases in power that our customers can feel when they accelerate.

K&N Engineers protect the K&N High-Flow Air Filter (RU-4990) from engine heat by isolating it with a heat shield. The large K&N Air Filter provides increased surface area and dust capacity. Our air intake system has lower restriction than the factory air box system which results in additional power to the engine.

The 69-8610TTK is designed so the mass air sensor will work with the factory stock settings. This means there is no need for re-programming to run our air intake system.

Our High Flow Air Intake Systems are backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools.

Vehicle With an Unknown Maintenance Record

Here is another great tip that was submitted to us by a customer. If you purchase a used car with an unknown maintenance record, it's a good idea to add automatic transmission fluid to the crankcase and run the engine for a few minutes before changing the oil. This will clean out a good portion of the sludge and build-up from the inside of the engine.

Bad Engine Ground

The poor engine ground connection could cause corrosion of the radiator or other metal coolant components. This process is called electrolysis. Electrolysis usually takes place when an engine ground becomes loose or corroded. You can check for this condition by using a Digital Volt Meter. To do so, attach the black end of the meter lead to a good ground (negative side of the battery), and then connect the red lead so it make contact with the coolant in the radiator. Next, crank the motor over, making sure that the test lead does not touch any part of the radiator or the results will be invalid. Care must be taken when dealing with hot engine coolant. Follow all safety precautions and NEVER OPEN THE RADIATOR WHEN HOT!!! If the meter reads more that 0.3 (300 millvolts) you have a problem.

Clean Carbon Build-up from Engine

This tip came as a submission from one of our customers. I felt it was very informative and right on. I wanted to share it with you, as I believe it may help many of you out there. Thanks John for the tip.

"The best way to clean carbon build-up out of your engine is NOT to take the car out and run it as hard as you can. This only results in meetings with local law enforcement personnel, and doesn't do much for cleaning out carbon. If you really want to clean the carbon out of your engine follow these simple steps. Fill an empty soda bottle with water. Remove your air cleaner. Start your engine. While using one hand to control the throttle, trickle the water into the carb or throttle body with the other while holding your thumb over the bottle opening. Keep the engine rpm's up so that the engine doesn't die. Make sure that you don't pour the water in too fast! Water doesn't compress and if you pour too much water in, severe engine damage can result! White smoke from the exhaust is normal. If you have a port fuel injected car, you obviously won't be able to use this method, but I have had success with connecting a vacuum hose to a port at the base of the throttle body and sticking the other end of the hose into the bottle of water. The vacuum of the engine will suck the water in, creating the same effect. This will clean out even the most stubborn carbon, by 'steam cleaning' your cylinders. "
