you can't "chip" these lex/toy ECUs but you could possibly find a used MINE's ecu from japan, it has to be for an 89-92 for your car. 93-94 used a different ECU that won't just plug in.

It's a shame you can't tune these cars.

I guess there isn't a large enough market for somebody to take the time to hack this ECU.
Too bad someone like
www.cobbtuning.com hasn't taken on Toyota yet.
