besides a header & custom exhaust what can one do for more horse power. please any info???? i have seen the voltage power module,& some piggy back systems to change air to fuel ratio ect. is there any performance throttle billet out there. need more power in the low end.better throttle response please any help.............

 

i thought i posted these pics already if this is twice i am sorry. i love the weapon-r. sounds good, nice hrsp. gain. i am gonna order a underdrive pulley tomorrow for more low end power/throttle response.

 

Great pics Sagarx, thanks for sharing !!

 

kinda outdated since my host changed so not many pics are showing

i took off my driver side wheel and removed the well liner and removed the air intake resonator, still have the stock intake and replace the filter with an stp filter once a year for 13 bucks. sounds ok, plus keeps the engine breathing clean air

oh yeah i also hacked off my exhaust resonator and welded a straight pipe, seeing a lot more exhaust smoke but not sure if there's any power gain at all. i would recommend you keep the exhaust resonator on.

 

Lemme bump this thread back to life. I just had my pipe made out of stainless
you guys might want to see the sienna 01 intake, it's much more nicer looking

Note i kept the stock mr2 airbox as im not a fan of cone filters

 

Would that intake work on a 03 es300?

 

DId you get any responses?

 

Hello,

Is there any particular reason why you are looking to upgrade the intake?

Those intakes are surprisingly well designed from the factory, giving very little resistance from the get-go, so all you will likely get with the new intake is more noise and a very marginal performance boost, which will likely go unnoticed during normal driving, that is if it was calculated right and your MAF sensor won't start sending misleading information to the ECU, causing more troubles than good..

If you do wish to upgrade the intake nonetheless, the one shown on pictures below should work for all ES300/330 past year 1999, when they upgraded the MAF sensor and its mounting solution.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

 

The reason for it is to clear up space underhood. If I could relocate the air intake to the driver fender even better.

 

Depends on what you need that space there for.. Unless you are doing a 1000hp mod and struggling to find a space for a turbo, I am not sure I can see the point behind clearing that space like this.. There is also a fair bit of intake hidden behind the bumper, there is an expansion chamber that is supposed to help with noises and I suppose with the hydrolock in case you run into one heck of a puddle on the road, I've only seen something like this fitted to the offroad vehicles before, here is a diagram of it..

 

My turbo(s) is going to go where the 2ndary cats currently are. It will draw air from the engine bay or from the fender area. There is plenty of space in that area. It will have it's own oil and coolant supplies as well as seperate pumps and or fans.

 

Wait, I was actually joking about the turbo.. Are you really trying to turbocharge an ES?

I wonder what sense does it make, considering how little aftermarket performance parts and support are available for that engine, you may as well get something like IS or GS for the same kind of money and gain much more performance out of them..

Hope this helps and best of luck!

 

Guys are getting from 300-1000whp out of these things ( Camry/LS/Solara ) with boost. Some have cams cut. The heads already flow 265cfm on the intake ports without porting. My goal was a 300-400whp daily driver. It can do this already with boost, fuel system mods, some add on electronics and tuning. Turbo's aren't that expensive and if i do the install and tuning myself the labor cost me only time.

I have other cars, but this is something i'm doing on this car just because. Sleepers are cool.

 

Not sure where you found it all frankly, the video above is the only one I was able to find with any serious mods to the 1MZ engine, which was never even planned to use in such conditions, and that engine was flipped inside and out, leaving only the cylinder block as stock. If you want it to be a daily driver and not just a show car that will run for a few minutes before shredding itself to pieces, it will require a ton of work, like new rods and pistons, lowering the compression ratio, custom made intake and exhaust manifolds and a ton more, not even including the time it will take to tune it all. It's not just somehow slabbing the turbo to an engine and hoping it will run quicker, it is a much more involved process on a platform with no support of any kind, parts, experience or otherwise. Couple all that with the fact that it is still a FWD car, and having more than 300hp will be an utter nightmare to drive because of the inherent limitations of such design, Astra GTC is a good example of it..
