Yeah he is. He's got the underdrive system like you mentioned but it's mounted in his bay. He's also got the TB spacer/coolant delete which allows for like 20% increased airflow. I think he's running like some kind of superchip also, but more advanced, you can do like fuel adjustments on it and crazyyy stuff. Dont listen to the others, essentially your motor is two flat fours in a V shape, so it's almost exactly the same. You can also try something new that's going around, you run your boost piping through your radiator. That's what they are calling air/water setups. Supposed to be really efficient. Good Luck man!

 

^^Listen to this guy.

 

what is your basis for saying that vvt-i engine should be left alone.[/QUOTE]


From what you said before, and what i remember form my 2001 celica that toyota never released the codes. Most of the 1uz modders i talked with all recommend not tuning the vvti.

 

From Supraforums..

My ecu is reprogrammed using Techtom, I had Toysport reprogram mine but there are a few different places that can do it.

Adds 80 horsepower and 89 lb.-ft. of torque.

Your cost: $745.00

Features:

-Totally customizable. If you have performance cams or a sport exhaust, the program is adjusted accordingly to give the best performance increase possible.

-Inexpensive to modify later. If you don't have those cams or that exhaust just yet, don't worry. The initial costs of making the chip are just that-initial costs. Additional programs are only $100! You let us know what modifications you've made, and we get another chip out to you for minimal cost and with no vehicle down time!

-Easy to swap out programs. Any concerns over fuel economy, smog certification, or racing modification can be addressed by having a second chip on hand with the original factory program on it. Switching back and forth takes just minutes. A car can be driven on the circuit on the weekend, and switched back for street use easily.

Instructions:

In order to perform this service, we need your original ECU (or another just like it) sent to us. A junk yard may yield a suitable donor ECU (Toyota ECU's are very expensive to repurchase). If you opt to send your current ECU, be apprised that it will take 72 working hours to perform the "surgery" from the time we get it. If you cannot afford for your vehicle to be inoperative for two to three weeks, DO NOT REMOVE and send us your ECU. Get a donor. Delivery times vary, but the closer you are to Los Angeles, California, USA, the sooner it will be. Please allow 8 weeks for international orders.

We also will need to know everything that has been done to modify the vehicle. If it has a different intake or exhaust fitted to it, let us know. Other common modifications include performance camshafts, camshaft gears, and ignition upgrades.

ClubLexus delivers... every time. Like candy from a baby. Cracks my **** up.

1, Being a **** to the people you are seeking advice from is not the best move.
2. Listening to what people are saying instead of seeking a desired output
3. taking replies with a spoon of sugar will be very helpful - most people on here are closet azzholes
