work log : prepping for DA's time attack pt. 4

In one year's time, my car has been through so many changes. The exhaust has been changed from a oem celica header and a Magnaflow canister that had been completely blown out, to a LittleRocket header, JNZ downpipe, and Techno Pro Spirits titanium exhaust. Also for shits and giggles, I threw on a no name intake that was about 6 inches long with a HKS foam filter.

So we did a baseline run with the stock intake on and it pretty much ran as well as it did last year when my car first went in. As soon as the no name intake went on, without changing anything at all on the powerfc, 199hp. Now the tuning begins.

Shawn and Daniel started to do their magic and in no time, the car was seeing upwards of 200hp. The longest part was trying to fix the dip in torque between the cam change (lift). Speculation led towards maybe a better cam or perhaps the header design is limiting the flow in that part of the revband.

After the dust has settled and all the smoke had cleared, we came out with this...

:)

next up... gotta change the oil in the engine and transmission.
