Yeah 5 letters. 3SGTE
Anything more than turbo or just intake and exhaust is almost as much money as doing a swap.

you can go inside the engine, but its not worth it IMHO, there's a member here who's using a piggback on his 7afe, its used to control fuel and air, but for the cost, hp gains and everything i dont think its gonna be worth the headaches, too bad the usdm 6gcelica isn't responsive to mods as some other na cars, your best bet if you gonna make it a real monster is to swap the engine or turbo that S.O.B

you refering to me? what headaches? i read up, learn how to use it, install it, tune it to run safe, and run safe. you must not know anything about tuning if you say that an afr device causes headaches.

try a few lil things like cold air kits a good k&n filter use synthetic oils lean that old crust out of the throttle body n get a good fuel system cleaning if you got an automatic car try manual shifting it things like that will help make it spunkier but for some good ole fashioned hard core hp you gonna have to make some mods

well, from my experiences, i rather use a piggyback for a car with forced induction, at least for our toyotas,......well bitter, hook that safc up and tell us how it goes

you do know that a safc2 IS a piggy back type unit, but its just alot more limited than things like the E-manage. the ONLY way to go with FI on a car thats not meant for it is to go standalone with a unit like a megasquirt or an AEM EMS. anything less is just a bandaid. i'm not going FI, so the range of adjustability with the safc2 is just fine for what i'm doing.

How many miles on your engine? If it is pretty high, i'd say save your money, and go engine swap.

not true, the nissan guys have no trouble keeping their stock ecu and adding a piggback for when they turbo their 240s, its just our toyotas that cant, because toyota ecus' cant be reflashed, at least here in the states with our N/A toyotas

and yes, i do know the safc is a piggyback, and i know nothing will stop you from installing it, so get that thing hooked up and post the results yo!
