Dont think it can gain that much but it sure can kill ur engine.

Dont buy it. Its rubbish, this topic has been covered many times.

Search ultility is ur best friend.

yea man don't waste your time with it.

I saw that on trade-me too looks like a load of rubbish

I was never going to buy it, I looked at it and though what the, where did they get the +25hp from?

[Sammyr]

Your cars red too thats god to be worth some extra hp

[Rusty]

yeah, if I add them up I now have 200hp...

[frosty]

stock 4-banger motors with ecu modifications....not gonna gain 25bhp (we don't even have vvtl-i!!!)

now a well modified motor might, just MIGHT have a chance...

still, don't buy it.

@Rusty:

You have a 3rd gen 3S-GE. Without increasing your revs and getting other more agressive cams (sacrificing low end power) there aint much to get out of the engine. It maxed out be Toyota themselves.

yeah I was never going to buy it

[CelicaST_CALI]

but some fire ball graphics on the side,that s a 20hp gain each!!!

[95st-celica]

your better off buyin some muffler oil and some steering wheel bearings...that will add some extra HP no doubt

[Cutrara]

dont forget to top off your halogen fluid

Some little things that do make a difference.

1- timing advance (if you run high octane gas) ... good for 3-4hp. If you cant alter your timing by rotating the distributor, you can do the intake temp sensor resistor mod trick.

2- Insulated intake manifold gaskets (you can get these on ebay). Make the car less prone to heat soaking after long traffic stops. Doesn't always ADD hp but sometimes it prevents it from being lost off to heat soak. If they do add power, they do it by making the intake manifold slightly longer which changes it's resonant frequency and usually adds some 2-3hp and some 5ft-lbs of torque.
Sometimes you can find a different model (corolla, camry..etc) with a similar engine with a plastic intake manifold... you can swap this manifold on for the same effect.

3- Throttle body coolant bypass mod (simple to do and dyno proven for a 1-2 hp).

4- 'Voltage Stabilizers'. I know these sound like BS. But I built one on my own and installed it on my benz and it does work. My throttle response is better and my 4000-5000 rpm pickup is better with it.

I talked to a couple of people about this, and our best guess is that it improves your ignition effeciency and response time. So from an ignition event point of view it's the same as having a slight timing advance.

now those are 4 mods that add 3-4 hp. But don't expect a 16hp gain doing all of these together ...

after you do all these mods , reset your ECU.

Haha i've got a IAT resistor in! Car does actually feel a bit more responsive. Cost me only a couple of dollars though since I know what code resistor you use (from checking out one my mate bought few years ago) and bought one from an electronics shop.
