Default How to increase power to 93 ES300

Hi,

I have a 93 ES300 and I just wish it has a little more power and acceleration. I dont if it's a Transmision problem. Would 93 Toyota Camry transmision feat my 93 ES300?

I want to find out if there is any cheap mods out there that will improve the acceleration of this car. Such as chip, intake, exhausts, etc. I am willing to spend up to $1000.

Please feel free to suggest any mods that you have done and is satisfied with.

Thanks

DjCee

You posted in the LS section.

On a budget, sub $1K: replace the exhaust, intake mods and take out all the extra "stuff" that isn't necessary to have in the car. Short of stripping it, which I'm not talking about: keep the trunk clean, not as a second storage place for books, sports equipment and resist the tempation for a huge stereo...they weigh alot when all fabbed up.

Beyond that, the ES and older platforms do not have the technological advances like the current crop of cars. Watchout for the SVT Focuses and like.

Cool

What he said.
We pimp, not drag.

Might as well fill the truck with subs and amps. Woot!

take out all seats, all carpeting, all stereo equipment, all body panels, AC, cut off exhaust right after cats, remove bumpers, remove windows, remove wires for electronic door locks and windows... I feel like Im forgeting something. However, that should help

Breaking the $1K mark:

Stuff the VVTi 330 motor and tranny with the usual items, OS valves, port polish, knife edged crank, custom profiled cams, re-map fuel curve and timing...blahblah. Convert it to a RWD and put a 2JZ-GTE, IUZ-FW with typical enhancements.

Yes, the tranny from a 92-93 V6 Camry is the same as yours. No difference.
