The resonator is called a "helmholtz resonator", and it is tuned to a specific frequency that is particularly loud on that intake system, in order to cancel it out. The whole point is to limit droning during cruise conditions.

It's not a massively popular swap but some people in the US have been using the 2AR motor for swaps in MR2's also. So it's not a completely unproven motor.
Hey guys, I'm a new subscriber. I'm 43 years old from the United States. Originally from New York and now live in the wilderness in pennsylvania. This video brings back a lot of memories for me. When I was about 20 years old my friend used to buy cars at auction from the Department of Transportation and they were always Ford Tauruses. So one day we stripped out a turbo kit from a pontiac gtp and fit it to the Ford Taurus. It took about 2 weeks because we had to have quite a few custom parts and gaskets made to make it fix. After it was finally done my friend got in the car and did a burnout that was about 300 ft long and it blew the motor. It took a lot of time and effort to get that turbo put in but it blew that engine real quick. But we were young and it was fun. My friend use to paint cars in his garage, fix all of our cars(i had a 1988 trans am) and it was a hang out spot and alot of fun. I miss the good old days
The reasonator that you were holding is called a quarter wave resonator. It is designer for a wave to hit the end of it and bounce back exactly half a wavelength later. The original wave is then hit by this wave coming back from the reasonator, reducing the noise. But the reasonator can also be tuned to create an additional stronger pulse into the intake, increasing the torque slightly at a certain rpm. If you want more information on this just Google quarter wave resonator or Helmholtz resonator. These reasonators are also very common in exhaust to remove drone at a specific frequency(rpm).
@@imachamp68 Its not rlly useless, letting you add torque at particular RPMs would help smoothen the torque curve in a place it might not do naturally, resulting in much smoother revolutions.
This brought a tear to my eye. I had a 2003 Toyota Camry just like this one. Owned for 5 years. Took me to school and work reliably. Just needed a radiator and a wheel bearing in all that time. Multiple road trips. Never an issue. Excellent car and excellent video 👍 good job guys.
i just lost my '04 camry SE to a blindside t-bone by a grandma in a parking lot. i loved that car, it was still under 100k miles when insurance finally totaled it out this week. had plans to drive it until the wheels fell off. my only wish is for someone with more money than me to restore it to working order and get her back on the road. love my new '23 tacoma though, but it was a bittersweet upgrade.

It's so good to see you modifying a proper nugget again, and it's so good to see your ear-to-ear smiles when you're enjoying the mighty-nugget you've turned it into.
I will very, very rarely watch ANY 1 hour long video on RUclips but I watched this start to finish. So enjoyable! You guys did an incredible job on the hardware while the Haltech guys are absolute electronics wizards!
My parents first new car was a 2003 camry in old git Gold. Hearing you guys roast that lovable beast for 5 minutes straight brought a tear of happiness to my eye
Oh, but the functionality of the design and the reliability are awesome. I've been driving such "unspectacular" cars for years (though always with manual transmissions), after having owned some muscle cars, and I find I prefer to drive a slow car fast than to be constrained to driving a fast car slow, channelling the chase scene from "The Bourne Identity" with that old Mini.
This is the kind of stuff that brought me to this channel all those years ago. Started following you guys from a little before Temples & Turbos 1. Awesome job mates. Hey, if this engine blows up, can always try out a 3SGTE, that should be fun 😊
I turbocharged and tuned my mr2 spyder by myself with a used Subaru turbo and a used pfc for less than $3000 total. Bought almost everything off Amazon and lucked out finding an iron turbo manifold off eBay for $115. Best thing I’ve ever done to any of my own cars and I was originally inspired to do this when I watched the gramps build as a kid. That mr2 flies now!!
Time to tubo my wife's Camry! My jaw hit he floor when I saw that number after the turbo. OVER 100% INCREASE ON A STOCK MOTOR! Bravo to you guys and everybody who helped! Truly the pure definition of sleeper.
As someone who recently junked a camry, my experience was awful it was horribly unreliable, in 6 months it blew 2 head gaskets, had an ecu failure, and several oil leaks, maybe it wasnt treated right by previous owner but it turned me off from ever buying another one
It is fortunate that Marty has the clear vision and awareness to see potential that what's-it's-name lacks. I guess every genius must have a sidekick to provide the appropriate contrast.
I haven't tuned in to watch you guys in a while, but when I saw this, I knew it would be worth the viewing. It did not disappoint! I throughly enjoyed it. Keep this type of shenanigans up!
Camrys are fantastic. My 1995 Camry coupe with 4 cyl and 5 speed (there can't have been many of these) was probably the best and most useful vehicle I've ever owned.
After 15 or so years of doing this, the originality is still there! that's why MCM is numero uno for me, because you guys do shit that other people just don't, aren't interested in or think is just not possible, yet you make it work and bring the smiles along with it, love it. so good! 😀
For me these turbo nugget builds are the best MCM content. Toyotas are great for these sorts of projects, easily worked on and well engineered. By the way Jetex make some very tight radius bends for exhaust making and it really helped when I turbo'd my Starlet. I've always fancied a NA+t auto but not sure how long the box would last! Great episode 👍
Do a GM V8 car if you want turbo and automatic. Not sure what exists in Australia but here in the US GM made transverse V8 FWD cars with an LS engine. Any of the automatics behind the LS are going to be at least decent or can be easily modified to make more power. Plus the engines make a ton of power turbo'd and are very durable.
(30:16 - Oil bung and transmission fluid change) you guys do such proper work. everything is very clean and done nicely. really makes me want to take the extra time on my own projects when I'm doing them.
This is a masterpiece and it reminds me so much about those early episodes that actually got me into watching MCM. The ridiculousness (of thats even a word) of the way it sounds when compared to its looks; the "what on earth is that?" that you can just feel is being said by every random person being overtaken by this piece of automotive awesomeness; the crazy skill and tech that actually went into making it... THIS IS WHAT RUclips IS MADE FOR!
Quick tip :) when sealing flanges or sumps, run a consistent bead of silicone and run it on the inside area of bolt holes. Don't smear it afterwards as it can introduce air pockets or not seal correctly. Leaned this at VW, haven't had a sump leak since, and it's always nice to see an even bulge on the edges when you're tightening it up
I would definitely like to see more of the camry build. I have one myself and invested in Ceika street performance coils hauk brake pads and super pro front control arms super pro front stabilizer bars front trd sway bar ps5 tires rpf1 wheels and yes it is a camry but I absolutely love it. Stock motor so far bc it is a daily but it handles like a dream for every day use and occasional hard driving. For the set up it's very good, surprising for others
As a proud owner of many Camrys I've been waiting for this moment. The Camry has a lot of potential and I've turboed one before. Complete sleeper, no one ever expects the Camry.
I was so sad the video ended without another run at the track. I could look up a calculator, but I'll just pull a time outta my.... brain. 13.5. My brain is telling me it's like 10hp or 10% weight reduction to gain .1 second? So 13.5 feels optimistic as all get out.
So, buy the turbo for the engine, and forget about the "kits" since you will be buying almost everything piecemeal anyway, got it. Great build! I have a 1998 Nissan Altima with a 2.4 that might need the same treatment once I upgrade to a newer car! I don't mind the install and fabrication work needed, but finding a good tuner is obviously key to maximizing results. Thanks for this video!
Had an early 1993 altima with jwt intake, unorthodox racing crank pulley, header and catback exhaust with the variable Nissan maxima muffler back around 20 years ago. That little jellybean was such a fun punchy car to drive and I kept it until over 300,000 miles before giving it to my younger brother. He totaled it a few months later, idiot. Should've kept it lol
Well done Nuggeteers. A mate and I started this same project years ago in a 2007 2.4L. Much prep work done, but when sent to Haltech they immediately sent it back saying NO, it's an auto 😞 Congrats to Haltech for having a go on this one. Despite the turbo disappointment, we installed King Springs, Whiteline adjustable swaybars, slightly enlarged rear muffler, high flow cat, and derestricted the intake. She still got up and went surprisingly well. 115kw to about 140kW if my memory recalls correctly. 120km/h through a corner steering with a pinky finger on 45 aspect 18" tyres. So well balanced. Despite their boring/bland appliance reputation, these cars have so much potential.
The level of disrespect the Camry gets is beyond me. I had a 2002 Camry on 19s with coil overs and people loved it literally everywhere I went. Reliable, cheap and easy to maintain. Every gear heads dream. I've had turbo civics, turbo Nissans and they didn't hold a candle next to the Camry
I think a great series, something with longevity, would be for M&M to both make a race car, and to race it in an actual season of a race series. Showing the proces s to build to the rules, enter the various events. Showing costs and maintenance and all that throughout the season, along with watching them race on track as well.
This is probably more relevant to the majority of your viewers than a lot of your recent videos. It goes back to sort of old-school car modification world where you have fun with what you have. Not everyone can afford a turbocharged, AWD monster or the some Hellcat powered tank with 1000hp. Most people own average cars like this.
ya this is the good ol MCM we got hooked on, personally I can't relate to these big budget youtube builds or find them as entertaining as the hooptie stuff
Can’t find our video of a hellcat powered tank and can’t remember many occasions where we’ve bought cars for more than a couple of G’s. Hear your point though.
So that short clip of Marty negotiating the price at the beginning was so cool. Its great to see people haggle a price so positively. If you had any tips on buying and selling cars, that might be a cool video.
Nah, they will make a half hour follow up video where they talk the entire time and then finally do a pull. Can't believe this was over an hour. I have other crap to keep up with, I don't have time for this.
Probarly my favourite build so far. The smile from you both at the end when hammering up the hill, was pure joy. Go the mighty Camry. Well done on the job. Also, love the tissue box of the parcel shelf. Finer details like that just nail it
I love the good cop bad cop vibe I got when you pulled the car into the shop. One really sees potential, and the other sees literally nothing. I love it!
@@aaa-vl1lk 2az fe are weak sauce, at best it'll handle 350hp max with e85 those automatics are hit or miss passed 250hp. Rods are the weakness in a lot of toyota engines. Meanwhile the k24 equivalent will handle 500hp unopened. Good plus for the 2az fe is that they're found literally everywhere for dirt cheap as it's not that popular to mod. Some simple rods maybe a block guard are needed.
@@Noname-iq1gz 2gr-fe is just a traditional v6. I think It'll be robust enough up to 500whp unopened on e85. I'm not too familiar with Toyota's platform so I can NOT confirm any information. If I remember they released a supercharged 2gr for a few years that made 320ish whp. I think it's equal to the Honda j35 v6's which are robust enough up to 450hp on e85. You need to understand that a well built engine doesn't mean it'll handle boost. But of course if you take ANY ENGINE apart. Upgrade rods, pistons, rebore, put in sleeves..Etc etc.. It'll handle boost just fine.
@@mouaxiong8618 the 2gr v6’s are pretty solid engines not sure why the aftermarket support isn’t there. Some of the engines in these lineups also come with forged internals from factory. 500 whp might be a stretch, but people touch north of 400 whp pretty regularly by supercharging the 2gr fe’s. On e85 it could mabye see closer to 450 whp.
I love Moog explaining the music’s intention while I’m experiencing exactly that watching the video. The close attention you guys play to your music/sound design sets your work apart. It would be cool to get a long compilation of B-roll of you guys working on cars and your music.
Yeah, I watch a few other car guys, and no one rivals MCM on audio. Moog is legit one of my favorite artists, but it's how rock steady their audio quality is when the boys are speaking that rates them at the top. Gears and Gasoline are another channel I enjoy. Their camera work is pretty good with great environmental shots. Their speech audio has times where it take a noticeable dive, and there's uneveness on the volume, but they're the ones that come closest to mimicking MCM's attention to audio detail. There's so many car guys where I just skip through their videos because the audio is either phone audio, camera audio or unprotected from environmental noise that I just get irritated. MCM were the first RUclips channel I watched religiously, and I think they're the best, but it took until Gramps dying and Super Gramps birth for me to realize why I loved the show so much. Nonstatic cameras, an actual camerman typically, phenomenal original music and expert audio mixing/recording.
I saw the thumbnail and the title and instantly liked the video, this is what I love! The obscure or generic as feck cars being modified 👌 I was really hoping for the 1mzfe because they actually slap, but the 2.4 is a solid unit
That motor is known for leaking oil through the rings! The 2AZ-FE takes boost incredibly well, but you HAVE to replace the rings! If you continue to notice excessive oil consumption after a tune-up, then it's coming through the rings! Love the motor, as it's in my Scion tC, but it does have problems.
@@Rota_rd1 I've never seen any problems with the head bolts coming loose. It may just be something with the Camrys, I've never seen a post about it in the groups.
Awesome episode & build!! Thank you MCM for taking us along with you on this incredible build. I’m going through some stressful times, this video put many smiles on my face 😃 thank you for that! ☺️
Moog's description of the Camry driver hit home. I've had a 2014.5 Camry since 2017. I've also had a 3000gt vr4, then an aw11 mr2 alongside the Camry. But I do have a Camry as my daily.
Love this build. The music quality is always top notch and it's just really sticks out to me this time. The fact that you do all your music in house is mind blowing. Thanks for sharing.
this is so cool to me! im starting a CNC machining business in texas, hoping to fill the aftermarket void for toyota/lexus, so cool to see you guys hop on this platform, even just for shits and giggles!
@@JT-fm4ye yes sir! Any untapped aftermarket performance niche is what I’m aiming to hit! Hell, I’m already looking at combustion powered electricity regeneration for tesla/electric cars!
@@oELxTOROo huge market in the Mazda and ford I mentioned Along with 4jj1 engines are huge here in Aus and Thailand Wlat and weat engines from bt50 and ford ranger too in Aus
4:10 as an owner of a 2005 Camry LE with 86k miles on it I’m disgusted by your remarks 😂 unless you’re on a racetrack there’s nothing you can’t do in this bad boy! 95 miles for 6 hours straight then another 2 hours going 70 from Wpb Florida to Dothan Alabama and then back and a few days later, she’s kicking like nothing happened. Best car ever! If you’re reading this… *GET IT* 😂
It is so good to see you guys again! It has been a number of years since I have come across your channel. I used to watch your show back in the early days when you first started. I was busy building a love affair with a Datsun 510 in those days. Anyhow I will lock you in from here on our. Cheers to the down under!
I love everything you guys do, but this is the best episode I've seen for ages! Back to the roots of mcm, the cheapest nuggets with the cheapest mods, that make a massive difference 👌 loved every minute of this fellas 👌
Ah, I am still excited for this, but I was hoping that it was going to be the 2.5 2AR. Oh well, good to see that maybe the 2.4 2AZ will get some love. I hope one day you guys are able to do something with the 2AR, and potentially collaborate with Frankenstein Motorworks to get 270 NA whp from a 2AR.
The 2AR is probably the best budget Toyota swap rn. I see everyone talking about it, and 270 out of an NA i4? That’s pretty insane considering it’s just an economy engine. The 2AZ is a bit more popular though because it’s been turboed for years, so that’s probably why they chose it. ShaneVlogs had his turbo Camry with a 2AZ pushing close to 500hp.
@@tinuthomas531 Yeah. It is currently be developed in a way that can be done completely on the stock ECU with no need for piggybacking. It uses hybrid (2AR-FXE) intake cams on both sides, along with a swap from Dual to Single VVT, to make 240 whp, from there, a new intake can get it to 270 WHP. It also scales linearly with displacement. Toyota makes a "OEM" stroker kit with the 1AR, making it 2.7 instead of 2.5, that should get you to just about 300 WHP.
I've watched you guys for so long now about 5 -6 years I think and just You've really inspired me crazy builds on a budget one day when I have more money I would love to make a build of my own , thank you guys for all the hard work much love !
Guys, awesome work been a big fan since forever. I have a 2005 Camry that I turbo charged back in 2009 and have never tuned it nor have I found anyone that could. I’m in SoCal if anyone knows of a place I would really appreciate it. Might I add this is my first car and I’m proud to say I still have and want to finish it light you have.
I love this build, mainly why is because a lot of people when they get their first car it’s usually something like this or some turd Saturn or whatever it is. But because it’s our first car we have huge dreams of building it into something crazy. This Toyota kind of reminds me of those days when k had a 90s Honda accord with a single cam and put the cheapest turbo I could on it just for the sounds
I just have to take a moment to mention how absolutely surreal it is to see you both leaning on a *Camry* in the same spot where so many unique nuggets and iconic legends have sat. I've never seen something so bluntly normal and yet entirely strange on this channel.

The resonator is called a "helmholtz resonator", and it is tuned to a specific frequency that is particularly loud on that intake system, in order to cancel it out. The whole point is to limit droning during cruise conditions.
Thanks for this explanation!!
The car should be a single seater if the owner doesn't want droning.
🤣@@nunchuckfilms
@@nunchuckfilms Someone needs to send those tubes to Ukrainian troops to give them protection from droning.

Hope you found your shit again afterwards

I will very, very rarely watch ANY 1 hour long video on RUclips but I watched this start to finish. So enjoyable! You guys did an incredible job on the hardware while the Haltech guys are absolute electronics wizards!
Just because it was a Camry, right?
Right!
I knew it! :)
I've watched every episode they drop regardless of its length, never knew I was addicted to such videos until now.
Agreed, there are only like 3 channels I watch that I'd sit through an hour long video and this is one of em.
Feelt like 20min, nd i wanted moore after.. atleast a new runt?! Gw guys!
Me, a cultured youtube consumer who hasn't watched TV or anything else since youtube came out.
My parents first new car was a 2003 camry in old git Gold. Hearing you guys roast that lovable beast for 5 minutes straight brought a tear of happiness to my eye
Old Git Gold!!! Haha. spot on.
My dad had a 2006 Camry still a I4 grey was comfy I miss it badly. I want one for a daily when I get a license.
Oh, but the functionality of the design and the reliability are awesome. I've been driving such "unspectacular" cars for years (though always with manual transmissions), after having owned some muscle cars, and I find I prefer to drive a slow car fast than to be constrained to driving a fast car slow, channelling the chase scene from "The Bourne Identity" with that old Mini.
This is probably the best video you produced this far. You guys have been killing it lately!
based on my rough calculations from a blurry dyno screen, that 200 kw at 5700 rpm, looks like 330lb/ft of torque
270/330 at the wheels is impressive
This is the kind of stuff that brought me to this channel all those years ago. Started following you guys from a little before Temples & Turbos 1. Awesome job mates. Hey, if this engine blows up, can always try out a 3SGTE, that should be fun 😊
I turbocharged and tuned my mr2 spyder by myself with a used Subaru turbo and a used pfc for less than $3000 total. Bought almost everything off Amazon and lucked out finding an iron turbo manifold off eBay for $115. Best thing I’ve ever done to any of my own cars and I was originally inspired to do this when I watched the gramps build as a kid. That mr2 flies now!!
how hard was it and did it require a lot of welding?
Time to tubo my wife's Camry! My jaw hit he floor when I saw that number after the turbo. OVER 100% INCREASE ON A STOCK MOTOR! Bravo to you guys and everybody who helped! Truly the pure definition of sleeper.
Just get a 3.5 v6 camry. 280hp standard.

@zoink9285 Mine does lol 😆
@@target4rage86where’s the fun in that
As someone who recently junked a camry, my experience was awful it was horribly unreliable, in 6 months it blew 2 head gaskets, had an ecu failure, and several oil leaks, maybe it wasnt treated right by previous owner but it turned me off from ever buying another one
'it's just leaking horsepower but it's fine it means it's a perpetual oil change' - Marty makes me laugh every time 😂
Total loss oil system like early Harley Davidsons!
If it's leaking oil, that means it's always fresh. If it's leaking oil, that means it has oil
It is fortunate that Marty has the clear vision and awareness to see potential that what's-it's-name lacks. I guess every genius must have a sidekick to provide the appropriate contrast.
not only is it a perpetual oil change but its also a rust proofer!
2AZ means it's burning as much as it's leaking
I haven't tuned in to watch you guys in a while, but when I saw this, I knew it would be worth the viewing. It did not disappoint! I throughly enjoyed it. Keep this type of shenanigans up!
Dave is a straight up genius. What a legend
Camrys are fantastic. My 1995 Camry coupe with 4 cyl and 5 speed (there can't have been many of these) was probably the best and most useful vehicle I've ever owned.
After 15 or so years of doing this, the originality is still there! that's why MCM is numero uno for me, because you guys do shit that other people just don't, aren't interested in or think is just not possible, yet you make it work and bring the smiles along with it, love it. so good! 😀
For me these turbo nugget builds are the best MCM content. Toyotas are great for these sorts of projects, easily worked on and well engineered. By the way Jetex make some very tight radius bends for exhaust making and it really helped when I turbo'd my Starlet. I've always fancied a NA+t auto but not sure how long the box would last! Great episode 👍
Do a GM V8 car if you want turbo and automatic. Not sure what exists in Australia but here in the US GM made transverse V8 FWD cars with an LS engine. Any of the automatics behind the LS are going to be at least decent or can be easily modified to make more power. Plus the engines make a ton of power turbo'd and are very durable.
@@theodorgiosan2570 Thanks mate. Unfortunately here in England, american cars can be expensive. Have always wanted an LS powered corvette.
I didn’t want this episode to end. THIS is mighty car mods. Love it.
Saw y'all on real mechanic stuff and decided to check out your channel. Yall definitely earned a new follower. Great stuff, chaps!
(30:16 - Oil bung and transmission fluid change) you guys do such proper work. everything is very clean and done nicely. really makes me want to take the extra time on my own projects when I'm doing them.
This is a masterpiece and it reminds me so much about those early episodes that actually got me into watching MCM.
The ridiculousness (of thats even a word) of the way it sounds when compared to its looks; the "what on earth is that?" that you can just feel is being said by every random person being overtaken by this piece of automotive awesomeness; the crazy skill and tech that actually went into making it...
THIS IS WHAT RUclips IS MADE FOR!
Not as ridiculous as his OF account. I was surprised at how ticklish he is.
The most impressive thing is they never removed the tissue box the the back seat where the rear window is.
😹💀
I was hoping for this to be done on a corolla E140 (2013). Awesome work!
Quick tip :) when sealing flanges or sumps, run a consistent bead of silicone and run it on the inside area of bolt holes. Don't smear it afterwards as it can introduce air pockets or not seal correctly. Leaned this at VW, haven't had a sump leak since, and it's always nice to see an even bulge on the edges when you're tightening it up
Dave is a legend shout out to him and Haltech for all the support over the years!
The more a car has no business having a turbo the more it needs a turbo 🤌

I would definitely like to see more of the camry build. I have one myself and invested in Ceika street performance coils hauk brake pads and super pro front control arms super pro front stabilizer bars front trd sway bar ps5 tires rpf1 wheels and yes it is a camry but I absolutely love it. Stock motor so far bc it is a daily but it handles like a dream for every day use and occasional hard driving. For the set up it's very good, surprising for others
As a proud owner of many Camrys I've been waiting for this moment. The Camry has a lot of potential and I've turboed one before. Complete sleeper, no one ever expects the Camry.
Which year model Camry did you turbo ? I saw an American here on YT turbo a white S21 Camry, Now that thing was looking old skool !
It's always a treat, when Moog fingers the intercooler! :D
It never gets old. 😊
I love the first video of a new MCM project. Moog's utter contempt for whatever box au merde Martys bought always makes me lol!
* Boite a marde. But we call them "Vidanges" in reality. Which means rubbish
That piece of plastic on the intake tube resonates air taking the pulse out making more of a constant vacuum for smoother idle
Would love to see what it does in the 1/4 mile now. Amazing gains and awesome video as always boys.
I was so sad the video ended without another run at the track. I could look up a calculator, but I'll just pull a time outta my.... brain. 13.5. My brain is telling me it's like 10hp or 10% weight reduction to gain .1 second? So 13.5 feels optimistic as all get out.
How are we this lucky to have some much content this year and back to backs like this. Loving your work as always guys
Brilliant, Dave and Scotty are legends, all star team as always, love fun "simple" projects like these
So, buy the turbo for the engine, and forget about the "kits" since you will be buying almost everything piecemeal anyway, got it. Great build! I have a 1998 Nissan Altima with a 2.4 that might need the same treatment once I upgrade to a newer car! I don't mind the install and fabrication work needed, but finding a good tuner is obviously key to maximizing results. Thanks for this video!
Had an early 1993 altima with jwt intake, unorthodox racing crank pulley, header and catback exhaust with the variable Nissan maxima muffler back around 20 years ago. That little jellybean was such a fun punchy car to drive and I kept it until over 300,000 miles before giving it to my younger brother. He totaled it a few months later, idiot. Should've kept it lol
@@jeremyb4493 You've reinforced my belief of never giving things you like to family members, even if you aren't going to use them anymore.
Holy crap you two have been knocking out some absolute bangers over the last couple of months! Keep it up, this stuff is awesome!
Give it a share if you’re enjoying it!
Well done Nuggeteers. A mate and I started this same project years ago in a 2007 2.4L. Much prep work done, but when sent to Haltech they immediately sent it back saying NO, it's an auto 😞
Congrats to Haltech for having a go on this one. Despite the turbo disappointment, we installed King Springs, Whiteline adjustable swaybars, slightly enlarged rear muffler, high flow cat, and derestricted the intake. She still got up and went surprisingly well. 115kw to about 140kW if my memory recalls correctly. 120km/h through a corner steering with a pinky finger on 45 aspect 18" tyres. So well balanced. Despite their boring/bland appliance reputation, these cars have so much potential.
Now time to turbo my own Camry 😂
Do it!
Twin turbo*
Gotta do it!! Big Boost, LET'S GOOOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂😂
@@Ac_Adaptersure but 2AZs are a dime a dozen. Not sure about the K24s, but these have been modded for years by the scion tC community
@@Ac_Adapter it's a Toyota still, the 2ars are solid plenty of people beat on them and race them
The level of disrespect the Camry gets is beyond me. I had a 2002 Camry on 19s with coil overs and people loved it literally everywhere I went. Reliable, cheap and easy to maintain. Every gear heads dream. I've had turbo civics, turbo Nissans and they didn't hold a candle next to the Camry
There's a reason you say "had"...
@@WonkyHonkey812 I said had because I needed a bigger vehicle. Only reason I got rid of it
This has been the best episode! True old school budget MCM vibes!
Love to see a Camry getting some love.
And holy heck you guys are pumping out your usual top quality content in bulk lately ❤️
I think a great series, something with longevity, would be for M&M to both make a race car, and to race it in an actual season of a race series. Showing the proces s to build to the rules, enter the various events. Showing costs and maintenance and all that throughout the season, along with watching them race on track as well.
yes yes yes! On the best platform, Subaru BRZ of course.
Absolutely! What a great idea.
Wishing this was the v6 camry from that year, the 4 bangers are prone to consistent head gasket leaks
I love this. The visuals are great, the music is excellent, it's content the average person wants to see. Keep pumping out solid stuff!
This is probably more relevant to the majority of your viewers than a lot of your recent videos. It goes back to sort of old-school car modification world where you have fun with what you have. Not everyone can afford a turbocharged, AWD monster or the some Hellcat powered tank with 1000hp. Most people own average cars like this.
ya this is the good ol MCM we got hooked on, personally I can't relate to these big budget youtube builds or find them as entertaining as the hooptie stuff
Can’t find our video of a hellcat powered tank and can’t remember many occasions where we’ve bought cars for more than a couple of G’s. Hear your point though.
I get what you're trying to say but man they just did a Civic, a Renault and a Brumby, they've never not been accessible vehicles.
But if you could afford it, Trackhawk is the thing.
@mightycarmods was that a 1zz-fe you guys turbo?
A fantastic video Marty and Moog, the Camry sounds awesome and the tractor pipe mod!
Long videos, nuggets, cheap turbos and Moog taking absolute *goat noises*
I love MCM 😅
good
sesh
So that short clip of Marty negotiating the price at the beginning was so cool. Its great to see people haggle a price so positively. If you had any tips on buying and selling cars, that might be a cool video.
You didn't take it back to the drag strip for comparison? Dang it, I'm curious to see how much better it is. Love the build vids, very informative.
same i was waiting for it the entire vid. im sure the car would blow tho 😭
Nah, they will make a half hour follow up video where they talk the entire time and then finally do a pull. Can't believe this was over an hour. I have other crap to keep up with, I don't have time for this.
Yeah what the hell? What was the point of doing the drag strip, only to never even mention it again?
@@growlith6969I mean, nobody is forcing you to watch it. if you want you can just skip ahead to the interesting parts
@@FiatUno2003 sure bud, let's pretend that criticism never makes anything better.
These are the types of projects I find interesting.👌
This had a bit of olden day MCM video feel about it.
Great job as usual Marty and Moog!
Probarly my favourite build so far. The smile from you both at the end when hammering up the hill, was pure joy. Go the mighty Camry. Well done on the job.
Also, love the tissue box of the parcel shelf. Finer details like that just nail it
Needs a cane sun hat there too.
I love the good cop bad cop vibe I got when you pulled the car into the shop. One really sees potential, and the other sees literally nothing. I love it!
In other words, Marty knows what he is talking about and demonstrates this,' Moog' on the other hand knows nothing at all.
I haven’t watched an episode in a long long time few years but this one brought me back I watched from start to finish well done guys.
269 hp was actually impressive. I was expecting it to explode. 😂 this episode reminds me of when I used to watch every episode years ago
You were expecting a Camry engine to explode? That's like expecting a hammer to break if you hit it against something.
@@aaa-vl1lk 2az fe are weak sauce, at best it'll handle 350hp max with e85 those automatics are hit or miss passed 250hp. Rods are the weakness in a lot of toyota engines.
Meanwhile the k24 equivalent will handle 500hp unopened.
Good plus for the 2az fe is that they're found literally everywhere for dirt cheap as it's not that popular to mod. Some simple rods maybe a block guard are needed.
@@mouaxiong8618what about a 2GR-FE? It’s in a Toyota Aurion
Makes 270hp stock
@@Noname-iq1gz 2gr-fe is just a traditional v6. I think It'll be robust enough up to 500whp unopened on e85. I'm not too familiar with Toyota's platform so I can NOT confirm any information. If I remember they released a supercharged 2gr for a few years that made 320ish whp.
I think it's equal to the Honda j35 v6's which are robust enough up to 450hp on e85.
You need to understand that a well built engine doesn't mean it'll handle boost. But of course if you take ANY ENGINE apart. Upgrade rods, pistons, rebore, put in sleeves..Etc etc.. It'll handle boost just fine.
@@mouaxiong8618 the 2gr v6’s are pretty solid engines not sure why the aftermarket support isn’t there. Some of the engines in these lineups also come with forged internals from factory.
500 whp might be a stretch, but people touch north of 400 whp pretty regularly by supercharging the 2gr fe’s. On e85 it could mabye see closer to 450 whp.
this is way more fun to watch than any supercar build.
I love Moog explaining the music’s intention while I’m experiencing exactly that watching the video. The close attention you guys play to your music/sound design sets your work apart. It would be cool to get a long compilation of B-roll of you guys working on cars and your music.
Yeah, I watch a few other car guys, and no one rivals MCM on audio. Moog is legit one of my favorite artists, but it's how rock steady their audio quality is when the boys are speaking that rates them at the top. Gears and Gasoline are another channel I enjoy. Their camera work is pretty good with great environmental shots. Their speech audio has times where it take a noticeable dive, and there's uneveness on the volume, but they're the ones that come closest to mimicking MCM's attention to audio detail.
There's so many car guys where I just skip through their videos because the audio is either phone audio, camera audio or unprotected from environmental noise that I just get irritated.
MCM were the first RUclips channel I watched religiously, and I think they're the best, but it took until Gramps dying and Super Gramps birth for me to realize why I loved the show so much. Nonstatic cameras, an actual camerman typically, phenomenal original music and expert audio mixing/recording.
They don’t turn a single wrench until 15:45 so skip to there if you don’t want to hear them yap for 15 minutes
It's so funny that the tissue box on the back shelf is such a worldwide feature of the Camry
Legit 🤣💀
Yep every one of these things on the road has one
I saw the thumbnail and the title and instantly liked the video, this is what I love! The obscure or generic as feck cars being modified 👌
I was really hoping for the 1mzfe because they actually slap, but the 2.4 is a solid unit
Finally you guys brought something funny and weird 😂 from the old days of MCM. Great job guys.
"Torque steer up the hill!" Best line eva! What a great build. Definitely a fun project. You made a true 'sleeper' guys.
It's great to see Moog's enthusiasm for nuggets grow over the years, he looks absolutely thrilled!
That motor is known for leaking oil through the rings! The 2AZ-FE takes boost incredibly well, but you HAVE to replace the rings! If you continue to notice excessive oil consumption after a tune-up, then it's coming through the rings! Love the motor, as it's in my Scion tC, but it does have problems.
Despite the oil consumption problems, the 2AZ is the most underrated 4 cylinder on the planet
@@archive3do769 trust me, I feel that. I plan to turbo my tC, but I'm gonna invest way too much money into it to make the most power.
Also some years if I’m not mistaken have bad threads that cause the head bolts to come lose
@@Rota_rd1 I've never seen any problems with the head bolts coming loose. It may just be something with the Camrys, I've never seen a post about it in the groups.

Awesome episode & build!! Thank you MCM for taking us along with you on this incredible build. I’m going through some stressful times, this video put many smiles on my face 😃 thank you for that! ☺️
The end truly brought me joy. Just seeing your mates help, and the dyne runs. Got me fired up. Well done
Moog's description of the Camry driver hit home. I've had a 2014.5 Camry since 2017. I've also had a 3000gt vr4, then an aw11 mr2 alongside the Camry. But I do have a Camry as my daily.
Love this build. The music quality is always top notch and it's just really sticks out to me this time. The fact that you do all your music in house is mind blowing. Thanks for sharing.

A classic MCM episode. This is why I subscribed 15 years ago.
It is so good to see you guys again! It has been a number of years since I have come across your channel. I used to watch your show back in the early days when you first started. I was busy building a love affair with a Datsun 510 in those days. Anyhow I will lock you in from here on our. Cheers to the down under!
I love everything you guys do, but this is the best episode I've seen for ages! Back to the roots of mcm, the cheapest nuggets with the cheapest mods, that make a massive difference 👌 loved every minute of this fellas 👌
Ah, I am still excited for this, but I was hoping that it was going to be the 2.5 2AR. Oh well, good to see that maybe the 2.4 2AZ will get some love. I hope one day you guys are able to do something with the 2AR, and potentially collaborate with Frankenstein Motorworks to get 270 NA whp from a 2AR.
The 2AR is probably the best budget Toyota swap rn. I see everyone talking about it, and 270 out of an NA i4? That’s pretty insane considering it’s just an economy engine. The 2AZ is a bit more popular though because it’s been turboed for years, so that’s probably why they chose it. ShaneVlogs had his turbo Camry with a 2AZ pushing close to 500hp.
Was also hoping it was an 2ar so they could play with Frankenstein's stuff
@@tinuthomas531 Yeah. It is currently be developed in a way that can be done completely on the stock ECU with no need for piggybacking. It uses hybrid (2AR-FXE) intake cams on both sides, along with a swap from Dual to Single VVT, to make 240 whp, from there, a new intake can get it to 270 WHP. It also scales linearly with displacement. Toyota makes a "OEM" stroker kit with the 1AR, making it 2.7 instead of 2.5, that should get you to just about 300 WHP.
I've watched you guys for so long now about 5 -6 years I think and just You've really inspired me crazy builds on a budget one day when I have more money I would love to make a build of my own , thank you guys for all the hard work much love !
Guys, awesome work been a big fan since forever. I have a 2005 Camry that I turbo charged back in 2009 and have never tuned it nor have I found anyone that could. I’m in SoCal if anyone knows of a place I would really appreciate it. Might I add this is my first car and I’m proud to say I still have and want to finish it light you have.
I love this build, mainly why is because a lot of people when they get their first car it’s usually something like this or some turd Saturn or whatever it is. But because it’s our first car we have huge dreams of building it into something crazy. This Toyota kind of reminds me of those days when k had a 90s Honda accord with a single cam and put the cheapest turbo I could on it just for the sounds
I just have to take a moment to mention how absolutely surreal it is to see you both leaning on a *Camry* in the same spot where so many unique nuggets and iconic legends have sat.
I've never seen something so bluntly normal and yet entirely strange on this channel.
and a beige Camry at that! Love it!
You guys are an absolute menace to society, and I love every second of it! Keep it up, gents!🔥🔥🍻
