Hello Everyone,
First off I would just like to say thankyou for everyone who posts on this web site, I have found out so many different things just by reading other posts. Again this is a great site, thankyou all. Anyway, I own a '96 Celica GT with a 5s-fe. I currently have: NGK Plugs Catback exhaust 2.25" pipeing CAI Header My car has 148,000 miles on it and I was just wondering how I can get some more horse power out of it without swapping and without throwing in a turbo (seems like alot of miles to turbo, prolly a waste...). At this point I am kind of out of ideas. I was thinking of putting an MSD ignition box in, however I was reading on here that I will see little to nothing by doing so. I also thought about adding one of those "racing chips". Again, I read on this site that these are crap. I am pretty much learning as I go. Every performance upgrade to my car I have performed (except exhaust) so I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciated... --------------------  |

QUOTE 200 to 210 electric turbos are garbage everyone knows they hurt your engine way more than regular turbo and dont even work... our throttle bodies are allready big enough we dont need spacers... tornado is a scam and eBay will tell you this, eBay will also tell you those crappy resistor "racing chips" are a scam too. Cold air intake adds like 3hp, and headers add maybe 5hp. Your friend is ripping you off, save your money and dont try and buy cheap HP off eBay. 200-210 is the most ridiculous statement i have ever heard, 6strngs was right, you wont make more than 120 on a dyno... save your money and research things before you assume what the seller is telling you is true (especially on eBay). Dont go down the path of cheap hp, everyone knows its a rip off and will hurt your car instead of helping it. research research research, sorry for getting you down too... |

I figured that much a place on this website tells us that to get the max out of our upgrades to reset our ECU everytime we upgrade it's pretty darn easy they tell us how to do it and im still getin my throttle body spacers then I will dyno the car again and ill let you all know how much hp I have and what upgrades I have.if anyone can dyno test thier car try reseting ur ECU then dyno the car let us all know if it's true
