you did the same thing, just give up, you said one thing and i said the opposite, thats it, there was no right or wrong so just quit it ok?
lol well there is right and wrong....but thats besides the point.
oh and more cheap horsepower...tune-ups and get your cooling system to perform at optimum ability

I just recently had my coolant flushed. It was pretty bad, car would run fine except on longer trips it would start to overheat. When I had the guy flush the coolant for me, he said that he had to do it two times because there was so much stuff built up in it. I was thinking of getting one of the TRD thermostats but i am unsure on where to go to purchase it. Any Ideas?
ok so how do we add horse power to our cars for god sake with OUT turboing it or addin nitrous..basically there car 3 mods for these things with out spendin over a couple hundred dollers...CAI,Exhaust/headers, and timing..i have come to realize that these cars are NOT fast..they were built more for handeling..you wanna have fun with it and stop worring about hp? take it to a damn road corse and watch how good these things handel....and with only a little bit of susopension work they are next to untouchable for the price range they are in...you want fast?? 3SGTE is you answer or for the money straight up american muscle..which i am now onto....350 camaro (f Body) which was just stolen last tuesday and i found it amazingly...not to get off the topic but really we just have to live with the fact they arent the fastest cars and arent going to be...just make it nice and enjoy haveing a 6gc origonal sick looking body style that they are

a koyo aluminum radiator will help keep things down
as well as running: distilled water + an additive such as REDLINE WATER WETTER.
(no need for coolant like Prestone, until the weather gets colder)

what's up man love the 5sfe this is my second celica gt in two years I have a duel cold air intake with a thomas racing chip that works good gave my celica gt 23 hp get sum throotle body spacers for like 100 they will give you between 15 to 22 hp headers are the next thing im getin right now im putin two electirc turbos they will give you about 25 to 35 more hp you can get a y unit from autozone to split your cold air intake if you want I love it I could talk about my car all day but my car has alot of mile like 180',000 to say I take good care of my celica and get a tornado im telling you if you want more hp without blowing your motor with a real turbo get the electric ones my buddy makes them for 70 each or 125 for two with the couple of things on my celica im pushin around 165 to 170 im puttin the electric turbo's on the weekend then I should push around 200 to 210 thats without throotle body spacers or headers them two are next month hope I helped you out even a little CELICAS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet if you get on a dyno you won't have more than 120 at the wheels.

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

Dude that is badass. Dual CAI with throttle body spacers. Do you have Dual headers as well?

it's to reset the computer so it can adjust itself. if you add more air then you'd run lean, so the ECU compensates for it. you don't necessarily need to reset the ECU, after some time it will just automatically adjust itself.

so your saying resetting the ECU is stupid but dual cold air intakes and mini leaf blowers are smart?

no. I didn't say anything even remotely close to that. I explained WHY resetting the ECU works, but said it's not necessary because it will just reset itself after time. AND I never approved of the dual CAI or electric turbos. notice how I said he would have no more than 120 at the wheels? A near-stock (injen intake) GT makes like 110-115.

i think this thread should be closed b4 to many wonderin minds get to many ideas and end up killin their cars... to much hate goin on in here... every1 needs to chill
N/A, Turbo, Supercharged, and NOS

Either way, you are going to be spending a good bit of money for a proper set up on a high mileage motor.

I will start with NOS. Great cheap HP boost right. If you look at the big picture,.... On a high mileage motor, you are gonna need a rebuild after every 15,000 miles. All of those gaskets and all of that work starts to add up. On top of using fuel management for proper firing.; You can use NOS without fuel management, but you increase the risk of detonation.

Next comes Supercharging. You are pull power to make power. Although, this would seem inefficient, ithe amount of power taken to make more power can be greatly decreased with the use of smaller pullies, standalone management, etc.Superchargers are also expensive, though.

MmmMMmm, turbos. I prefer turbocharging to anything. It is cheap, efficient, and easy. With a lil bit of research and math, you can take a great turbo system and make it blow. If you have the money, kits for our cars start at 2,400. If you are lacking on cash, you can put one together from used parts and ebay for about 600. Again, research makes this efficient.

N/A. You will spensd more time and money on your motor then any other option. But, you will eventually be doing an essential N/A set up, just about neway you go. I started working N/A and am now working toward turbo. Every vehicle I have had were all N/A. Harder to tune, but you can get a greater increase in HP.


Of course, you can run NOS on a supercharged, turbocharged, or NA engine. But, increased heat means increased maintenance. I also have to say, I am not putting down any for of tuning. Just presenting my views. One mans vice is always gonna break some other guys perspective.
just do an engine swap to an st205?
