Default engine management chip

I am wanting to increase the torque and performance of my SC430. I know that many imports can get aftermarket chips that really improve their import's performance.

is anyone making one for the SC430 yet? I would think there would be enough of them out there now that it would be economically viable for them to be produced.

good luck. if there is nothing for the gs430, you can forget about the sc430 (much smaller demand).

no one has been able to cracked the toyota ecu yet

What kind of hp are you looking? We can put something together for you. The reason there isn't any supply because there aren't any demmand for them.

JPI, do you mean a chip? or some aftermarket parts?

If it's a chip, I'd be very interested...

Plenty of options out there but they require some knowledge of tuning. No plug and play unit as of today or chips so to speak that older cars accepted.
Many opt for the gears, torque converter, headers,etc.. which together make a for quick little car.

Those units are nothing more than simple resistors that change the voltage value into tricking the computer into more fuel. You may pick up a little HP but with a stock intake I would stay away.
There is no chip for this car. There are numerous piggyback computers that can be programmed to your mods that the car will benefit from but this cost money in parts and labor.
