Center for installing additional equipment on Toyota Camry

Car tuning is the modification and improvement of a car. Owners of Toyota Camry 50 know the weak points of the car and improve it in these areas. The exterior of the 7th generation is not bad, but it cannot be called bright and eye-catching, so the car is repainted, covered with film, headlights and lanterns are changed, and new wheels are installed. The interior is not a standard, so they remodel it, install additional lighting, etc. Owners who lack the power of the 2.5 (2AZ) and 3.5 (2GR) engines “chip” the power plants.

New Toyota Camry (V50) officially presented

Restyled sedan Toyota Camry XV50 FL

Toyota has officially introduced the new generation Camry sedan in the XV 50 body. For now, first its American version, because it is there that the Camry has remained the most popular model in its class for almost a decade and a half.

Toyota Camry Reviews

As already noted, the new 2012 Camry has completely new front and rear ends, but overall the design has become more aggressive, using many sharp lines that replaced the smooth contours of the previous generation car.

Toyota Camry 2012 has two front design options. Standard is a front bumper with a wide air intake and separate sections for fog lights at the edges, as well as a chrome radiator grille.

And the sports version SE received a front bumper visually divided into three sections and a radiator grille trim painted in body color. The grill itself is made of a large black mesh. From the rear, such a car can be distinguished by two exhaust pipes and a small spoiler on the trunk lid.

In the interior of the new Toyota Camry 2012, finishing materials have been improved, and the front panel has undergone a number of evolutionary changes, beginning to look stricter and more solid. In general, the overall architecture was preserved, but, like the outside, the inside is now dominated by straight lines instead of smooth contours.

The engines available for the new generation Toyota Camry V 50 are a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 178 hp. (230 Nm) and a 3.5-liter V6 with 268 hp. and maximum torque of 336 Nm.

Exterior tuning

Camry Lexus style The appearance of the Camry V50 is balanced: moderately sporty and solid, but you can’t call it spectacular. Therefore, owners take up tuning the Camry 50’s exterior. One of the possible options for changing the appearance is Lexus style. To make a Camry look like a Lexus you need to purchase and install:

• headlights,
• front bumper,
• radiator grille,
• chrome moldings,
• trim around the grille and foglights.

The Lexus style kit will cost about 65 thousand rubles. Look at the photo of a Camry tuned for Lexus.

Airbrushing and tapography remain attractive options for changing the appearance of a car. Those. changing the color of the body by applying paint and film, respectively.

Refinement of headlights and lanterns

Light is an important component of safe movement, so replacing headlights, installing xenon and replacing lamps should be done by professionals.

Owners of the Camry V50 complain about the poor light from the stock headlights; there are several options to solve this problem:

• purchasing new headlights from a third-party manufacturer. You can purchase optics with diode running lights, in the Lexus style. When choosing new headlights, be careful; a beautiful design is not the main thing, it is important that the light is comfortable and does not blind oncoming and passing traffic.
• diode bulbs in the “original” headlights. Good LED lamps are expensive, so be prepared to spend money if you want quality light with a comfortable spectrum.
• halogen lamps from another manufacturer. Many different companies produce halogen bulbs for car headlights. In the Camry V50, the base of the low beam lamps is H11.
• put xenon in halogen optics. We talked in detail about this process in the Camry 40. If you decide on this procedure, then be prepared to buy not only ignition units and lamps, but also change the lenses. A halogen light lens is not suitable for xenon: it is not enough to disperse a powerful light beam (there will be a bright spot of light in front of the car, which will tire the eyes; nothing will be visible outside the illuminated area).
• installation of original, factory xenon headlights. If the Camry V50 has halogen optics, then you can buy and install optics from an expensive version with xenon. A new set of necessary elements will be expensive, so it makes sense to look for a used one.

BMW taillights There are many non-original taillights on the market for Camry 50, stylized as Mercedes or BMW. Installing beautiful taillights on the Camry 50 is not so easy; problems may arise due to the fact that the non-original taillight segment on the trunk is slightly larger than the stock one. The solution is to grind off the chrome “saber” above the number. The problem with installing the tail light segment on the fender is that the mounting of the aftermarket headlight is displaced, which is why the bumper does not fit into place. Connecting a new rear light to the on-board network can be an unpleasant surprise; you will have to redo the “chips”. Lights for Mercedes

Selection of disks

Large and beautiful rims are the key to a spectacular car. The Camry 50 was offered with two wheel sizes: R16 for simple trim levels and R17 for expensive ones. In North America, the Camry 50 was officially sold with R18 wheels. The largest wheels that will fit on a stock Camry R19. When buying wheels with tires for a car, you need to understand that they affect traffic safety, comfort and handling. The larger the wheels, the more controllability and less comfort.

Camry v50 exterior tuning

If you try to describe the appearance of the Toyota Camry, the first words that come to mind are stylish, prestigious, sophisticated, elegant. Based on this, the changes must fully correspond to the given tone. Chrome parts fit quite organically into the overall style of the car.

Camry v50 rear bumper tuning

Which chrome elements are worth purchasing?

1. The radiator grille is a brilliant accessory that emphasizes all the advantages of the car’s design and adds a touch of authority, bordering on aggressiveness, to its appearance. You can simply go to a company accessories store and purchase a grille to your liking. It should be said right away that such a part cannot be called cheap. There is a more affordable option to transform the front bumper on a Toyota Camry v50 - you can purchase a chrome strip and glue it to the original grille. This accessory is a chrome-plated epoxy rubber band. Tape width may vary. The adhesive side makes it very easy to update the design.
2. Chrome bumper trims – with their help you can leave the work of the designers of the Japanese automaker unchanged by simply “dressing” the bumper grille in chrome.
3. Mirror covers - if you decorate the side “viewers” ​​with them, the chrome tuning becomes more complete. In addition, attaching them is very simple - all you need is universal glue.
4. Chrome trims on the door - small shiny strips fit very well at the bottom of the door. If you buy an original kit, it consists of 4 parts - for each door. The front door strips are embellished with the model name. The rear ones have an interesting design, echoing the style of the air intakes.
5. The edging of the rear reflectors, the lining on the “gills” of the front bumper - if you decide to chrome your Toyota, then do not forget about these important details. They are very easy to install - the reverse side has adhesive tape.
6. Chrome wheels are a chic accessory that greatly transforms the appearance of the car as a whole. But the cost of such an accessory is quite high. And the practicality in the conditions of our roads is questionable - potholes and potholes lead to cracks and deformation. It is more reasonable to give preference to forged wheels.

Airbrush Toyota Camry v50

If we look at the Toyota Camry tuning photo, we can note that high-quality airbrushing looks quite interesting. If you decide to transform your car in this way, then immediately contact professionals who have experience and the necessary equipment. Only in this case the result of the work will be really good.

Replacing the rear optics with LEDs is also a successful design decision, which has another positive function - the car becomes more noticeable on the road. The fact is that LEDs shine brighter and light up a fraction of a second earlier than standard optics.

Protective stickers for the body of Toyota Camry

Like any car, the Camry has problem areas that over time begin to bring inconvenience to the life of the motorist. An example would be the recesses under door handles.

IT IS IMPORTANT! Do-it-yourself tuning Land Cruiser 200

Since these injuries are difficult to avoid, they can be prevented. Protective stickers on the door are almost invisible, do not spoil the appearance and paintwork, and are an easy-to-install device. By the way, it is worth noting that there are stickers produced by Toyota itself, which is a guarantee of the usefulness of this accessory.

Similar overlays can be placed in other, no less problematic areas - the trunk threshold, bumpers. Clear or adhesive films can provide you with a cheap, effective and effective layer of protection against chips and scratches. It is important that this is completely within the capabilities of those who have just started tuning, since installing the protective film does not require special skills.

Pros and cons of the Toyota Camry V50 body

The fiftieth body of the 2013 Camry is reliable and strong, but rust appears at the attachment points of the chrome parts over time. The weak point of the design is the filling pipe of the fuel tank, as if the manufacturers spared the metal and made a very thin-walled neck that was about to leak.

Many car owners are dissatisfied with the quality of assembly at the plant near St. Petersburg and claim that the appearance of crickets in the cabin and poor sound insulation is directly related to the work of this enterprise. The anti-noise coating of the doors causes a lot of complaints; the polyethylene sealed on the sealant only covers the technological holes, but does not insulate from noise. You can’t consider two pieces of felt placed in the doors to be a full-fledged soundproofing pad.

In the body arches, under the front wheel arches, there is a raw metal surface; at the rear, the wheel arches have protection made of a material similar to synthetic padding. Under the ceiling lining is the same unprotected metal, lined with liners made of heat-insulating material to maintain temperature conditions.

If you ask the question, which structural elements are primarily susceptible to corrosion, the answer to this question is clear. The first point is the weak paintwork of the Toyota Camry V 50; the points of contact with chrome parts rust; on used cars, corrosion can be found on the trunk lid and hood. It would be a good idea to check the condition of the wheel arches and the underbody of the car.

Interior tuning

The main complaint about the XV50's interior is insufficient sound insulation. This issue can be resolved by contacting specialized car services. Advantages of soundproofing done in the service:

• speed, workshops offer to complete soundproofing of a car in one or two days. If you take on this work yourself, you will spend a lot more time.
• quality, experienced craftsmen will do this work professionally, because they do this every day.
• Tuning studios offer options for car soundproofing, taking into account the client’s financial capabilities.
• guarantee for the work done, trustworthy craftsmen are not afraid to give a guarantee for the work, if there is no current one, contact another service.

Camry door with vibration isolation

If you take on the soundproofing of a Camry yourself, you will save money and gain experience and knowledge, but you will spend a lot of time and effort.

The interior of the Camry V50 cannot be called a standard in wear resistance, so the owners have it altered. Specialized craftsmen will offer many options: leather with Alcantara, an interior of several colors, contrasting seams. An important factor in the successful transformation of the interior is the quality of the materials used; the leather must withstand low temperatures (up to -20, when the car is parked outside in winter) and high temperatures (up to +40, when the car is heated in the sun in summer). If you do not use high-quality materials, then “crickets” will settle in the interior, the leather will crack and wrinkle, and in places with high load it may simply tear.

The combination of leather and Alcantara is solid

Installing such seemingly insignificant elements as additional interior lighting, door sills, and pedal pads will become a feature of the car and will help create an atmosphere in the cabin.

Optional equipment

Expensive Camry trim levels are equipped with almost everything necessary, but affordable options lack many options. Necessary features that will increase comfort and functionality are installed additionally. The following additional equipment is installed on the Camry 50:

• metal crankcase protection will be useful if the car is operated in a region with bad roads or often travels onto country roads,
• a good security system will save you from unnecessary shocks,
• pre-heater or autostart, which will warm up the engine and interior before your arrival,
• heated steering wheel will make winter driving more pleasant,
• The rear view camera will help you park in difficult places,
• the blind spot monitoring system will protect you from some emergency situations,
• heating the rear sofa will increase passenger comfort.

Chip tuning Toyota Camry and additional equipment

Chip tuning Toyota
In order for driving your Toyota to become the declared “dream driving”, you can enhance the technical capabilities of the car by installing additional equipment and protective elements. Namely:

• crankcase protection is a very useful addition that reliably protects the car from uneven roads;
• Rear View Camera;
• blind spot monitoring system - driving will become not only easier and more convenient, but also safer;
• immobilizer - it will become almost impossible to steal your car;
• a special system that determines and records the pressure in a car’s tires – with it you will know everything about the condition of the car’s wheels.

These were the most popular types of equipment, the installation of which will make life easier for the driver.

Interior tuning

If we talk about tuning the interior, the lighting of the instrument panel, buttons and floor looks very impressive - it is extremely easy to install and with it the interior is completely transformed. You can also update the upholstery. Here everything completely depends on your personal preferences and wishes.

Camry v50 interior tuning

But there is a way to increase the technical capabilities of the “Japanese” without the need to buy and install additional equipment. Today, more and more car enthusiasts are doing chip tuning. Let's look at this concept in more detail.

Why do you need to reflash the Toyota Camry V50 ECU?

Chip tuning is making changes to the software of the electronic engine control unit. Simply put, you simply erase the program provided by the manufacturer and install your own, which better suits your desires. Thanks to such manipulations, you can, for example, increase the power of a car or reduce fuel consumption.

So that the results of the work cease to be something incomprehensible and mythical, let us give an example of real indicators that can be achieved. The first thing that chip tuning affects on a Toyota Camry is an increase in power to 50-75 “horses”. Quite a lot, right? Next, we increase the torque. The size of the “growth” ranges from 5-20%. It all depends on the program that is selected for tuning. In parallel with this increase in power, fuel consumption decreases - about 1.5 liters per hundred kilometers.

In general, we can talk about improved dynamics while driving. Car enthusiasts who have chip-tuned their Camry note that engine idling has become stable, and gear shifting no longer causes jerking and jerking.

Appearance of Camry V50

The designers managed to fully embody the characteristic slanted appearance of this car in the latest models. Moreover, it was possible to combine many chrome parts, so attractive to the American consumer, and at the same time maintain the modesty of the exterior, inherent only in Japanese cars. This is clearly visible in the photo.

The large chrome radiator grille is built in at an angle that matches the angle of the headlights. It gave the appearance some slanting, and the massive bumper with chrome-plated fog lamp cells gave the front view of the Toyota Camry V50 an impression of monumentality.

Chrome trim on the door handles and a shiny belt on the sills, coupled with a chrome strip above the license plate on the trunk lid and the installation of large rear lights took away the charm and some elegance from the car and gave more aggressiveness to the entire appearance of the car.

Camry 50 engine tuning

Refinement of the Camry V50 engine is usually limited to chip tuning; not many owners undertake deep modifications. Therefore, we will talk in detail about this procedure.

We don’t think it’s advisable to chip the V6 3.5 2GR engine, the stock 249 hp. and 346 N*m of torque is enough for the front-wheel drive sedan. In some situations, this power even causes inconvenience. The advantage of reflashing the ECU of the 2GR engine is a reduction in fuel consumption to 2 liters per 100 km, with a calm driving style.

Chip tuning of the Toyota Camry 2.5 2AR-FE engine will lead to the following changes:

• increase in power by 10-15% from 181 to 205 hp.
• increase in torque by 10-15% from 231 to 260 N*m,
• reduction in fuel consumption,
• reducing the engine reaction time to pressing the gas pedal (eliminating hesitation of the gas pedal),
• fast gear changes.

Optimization of gearbox operation is explained by the fact that the engine and gearbox control unit are a single unit.

You should only trust car chip tuning to trusted professionals. You can get information about the workshop by asking for the phone numbers of previous clients and calling them. Also, good craftsmen give a guarantee on the work and do not refuse to return the money and roll back to the factory program within the agreed time if the client is not satisfied with the result.

Powertrains and transmission

For operation in our country, the 2013 model is equipped with three versions of power units:

1. in-line engine with four cylinders and a two-liter volume, capable of developing 148 hp. and speed no more than 190 km/h. The transmission of this option is a four-speed automatic transmission. Among Russian consumers, the demand for this motor is low due to its low power;
2. The 5-liter four-cylinder engine has more power, about 181 horsepower. Due to the six-speed transmission and larger volume, the V50 accelerates to a speed of 209 km/h, this engine is the most acceptable option for Russian motorists;
3. six cylinders and six speeds of the automatic transmission allow the 3.5-liter engine to create a power of 249 horses, accelerate the Camry 50 in 7.1 seconds to 100 km/h and reach a top speed of 210 km/h.

Tuning Toyota Camry V50

The Toyota Camry v50 itself is a very attractive car that arouses interest among others. But, since so many car enthusiasts like this product of the Japanese automobile industry, it cannot be called a rarity on domestic roads. For those who still want to stand out from the crowd, tuning the Toyota Camry v50 is suitable, thanks to which you can emphasize your own individuality.

Soundproofing Toyota Camry

Soundproofing Toyota Camry

Tuning the Toyota Camry v50 includes not only changing and improving the appearance of the car, but also increasing comfort during use. Many experts and enthusiasts note that the Camry V50 has a fairly low level of sound insulation. You can fix this problem yourself.

We start with soundproofing the hood. To truly reduce noise levels, choose high-quality vibration isolation materials. When the installation is completed, be sure to treat the material with sound-absorbing Splen.

Soundproofing the ceiling of Toyota Camry

Now it’s time to soundproof the ceiling - for this stage you will have to remove the upholstery. Noise protection consists of two layers - conventional noise insulation and moisture resistant. Before starting work, do not forget to degrease the ceiling thoroughly, otherwise the sizing will not be reliable.

The doors and trunk are tuned following the example of the ceiling. If you don’t skimp on purchasing materials, you will definitely like the result.

Toyota Camry interior

The interior of the Camry V50 is at the level of a luxury car - it has comfortable, wide seats for the driver and passengers, a presentable front panel and a solid console in the center, rather wide rear door openings that create comfortable conditions for boarding.

The dashboard is made in the form of three circles overlapping each other; it is quite informative and allows you to focus your attention on the road. The comfortable steering wheel is adjustable in height and depth.

The driver's seat in the 2013 car has so many adjustments that it can be adjusted to a person of any height and build. The front passenger and driver's headroom is recessed in the headliner and their seats are curved to increase legroom for rear-seat passengers. More comfort for rear passengers is provided by the increased forward movement of the front seats. Special sensors monitor the cabin temperature and ventilation; such climate control is equipped in three zones of the cabin. The car radio is equipped with a display that displays information from the navigator.

The front seats have heated seats, and in some trim levels the rear seats are also equipped with heating and backrest tilt adjustment.

The rear seat armrest controls the climate control, radio settings and rear curtain. Japanese manufacturers have worked hard to improve sound insulation; when driving around the city, extraneous noise is inaudible; only when you get on the highway and pick up speed, you can hear the characteristic rustling of tires and the sound of a running engine.

Toyota paid great attention to the safety of passengers and the driver; the interior is equipped with 8 airbags, the braking system is reliably controlled by built-in ABS, and the design of the front seats significantly reduces the likelihood of injury in an accident.

Refinement of headlights and lanterns

Owners of the Camry V50 complain about the poor light from the stock headlights; there are several options to solve this problem:

1. purchasing new headlights from a third-party manufacturer. You can purchase optics with diode running lights, in the Lexus style.

3. halogen lamps from another manufacturer. Many different companies produce halogen bulbs for car headlights. In the Camry V50, the base of the low beam lamps is H11.
4. put xenon in halogen optics. We talked in detail about this process in the Camry 40. If you decide on this procedure, then be prepared to buy not only ignition units and lamps, but also change the lenses. A halogen light lens is not suitable for xenon: it is not enough to disperse a powerful light beam (there will be a bright spot of light in front of the car, which will tire the eyes; nothing will be visible outside the illuminated area).
5. installation of original, factory xenon headlights. If the Camry V50 has halogen optics, then you can buy and install optics from an expensive version with xenon. A new set of necessary elements will be expensive, so it makes sense to look for a used one.

There are many non-original rear lights for Camry V50 on the market, stylized as Mercedes or BMW. Installing beautiful taillights on the Camry 50 is not so easy; problems may arise due to the fact that the non-original taillight segment on the trunk is slightly larger than the stock one. The solution is to grind off the chrome “saber” above the number. The problem with installing the tail light segment on the fender is that the mounting of the aftermarket headlight is displaced, which is why the bumper does not fit into place. Connecting a new rear light to the on-board network can be an unpleasant surprise; you will have to redo the “chips”.
