Welcome :)

Hi liebe011,

Sure you are a Toyota fans, I alway wanted to find a owner of Caldina gt-4 to share their experience....I'm just wondering how much you bought your gt-4? mind sharing some experience of your cald, the performance, handling and the fuel consumption....how's the built quality and any minor or major problems so far. I'm very keen in getting one soon but worried bout the consumption and maintainence. Appreciate if you could share some advice

cheers, Andrew Hew

Hi liebe011,andrew...glad to join u guys in the forum..hopefully can learn more from u guys about the caldina..btw liebe011, can u tell me all the mods that u have done to ur caldina...? for my caldina, it all the basic mods such as induction kit, turbo timer, boost controller, blow off valve and exhaust system..and some exterior mods..

Hai andrew..about the cald..its a very nice,comfortable and of course fast car..not sure about the suspension,cos as soon as i got my cald, i replace the suspension with tein super street coil over. The interior are also very cool especially the cockpit and the dash board...about the oil consumption..hehe u should know how a turbo engine behave..the more u press the padle, the more it will flow...but u will satisfy how the 3s engine performe..

i have a caldina turbo and was wondeiring if i should install a blow off valve. as per advise from the mechanics, they say the blow off will not sound good or too weak. please advice.

Question...What where your dyno results. I also doing a modifcation project on my caldina. I added a water/methanol injection kit, blow off valve and boost controller and guages.

I have a bov and it sounds awesome. Running an HKS blow off...you might want to try that one

hey dude .. thanks for the advice .. now im keen on gettign bov. but still i lack of knowledge and would like to know more. what kind of blow off would sound good and wat sizes should i take? which was is compatible and which one is not . what are the costs going to be like and does it affect the car's performance. please advice.

Hi guys,

BOV... b4 u decide to install after market BOV, please make sure you know the original BOV setting & type of system for the Caldina.... if is an open loop type or close loop type.

By right ... the original BOV is more then enough to handle the back pressure from the turbo inducer when the throttle body is closed.

To low of a BOV setting will make the system creep on boost & to high setting will give back pressure at the inducer ... you dont want this to happen as it will shatter the inducer or lost of boost pressure.... it CAN even effect the FC.

Personaly I would stick to Original BOV as I did with my Toyota Glanza V turbo till today ... is 1997 model.

You can always ask your mechanic about it & get them to explain further about it.

Caldina GT-4 ... such a lovely wagon.
